“Even tiny termites know that to expand their colony, Father…why?” Hearing Yun Duo’s words, Li Bingchen deeply agreed, yet a bitter feeling welled up inside him. He couldn’t help but murmur to himself. He couldn’t believe his father couldn’t see the benefits of promoting sericulture, but…
Li Bingchen's voice was so soft that Yun Duo didn't hear him at all. She subconsciously asked, "Huh? What?"
Li Bingchen shook his head. After a moment, he said softly, "I'm sorry."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Yun Duo heard this time, but she was a little confused. Why would Li Bingchen apologize to her out of the blue?
Well, although she had guessed some of it, his direct apology still left Yun Duo somewhat stunned.
“Your idea is good, I mean raising silkworms. But… Father doesn’t agree, no, actually it’s not that he disagrees, I think he might have some difficulties… Anyway, I’m sorry to have made you put in so much effort…”
"But please don't blame my father. I think he must have had his reasons. Yes, he must have had his reasons. Maybe...maybe he's worried about what those pro-peace faction might do. Those so-called pro-peace faction, they always try to sabotage us. They can turn good things into bad things. My father must be worried about causing trouble, so...anyway, I'm sorry..."
Li Bingchen didn't speak loudly. Although he was very frustrated, he couldn't help but defend his father. However, as he spoke these words of defense, Li Bingchen gradually felt that it was indeed possible. His frustrated mood improved a lot for a while, but he also felt ashamed, thinking that he had misunderstood his father.
But then he remembered his father's scolding, and suddenly wondered if his father was forbidding it because he was the one who made the suggestion? Was his father trying to suppress him? For the sake of his brother, whom he favored?
The moment this thought arose, Li Bingchen's frustration was magnified infinitely, and it even showed on his face.
Seeing Li Bingchen's expression change several times in a short period of time, finally turning into endless frustration, Yun Duo guessed that he might be stuck in a rut again. She was a little anxious, but she didn't know what he was thinking. She was afraid that if she rashly tried to persuade him, she would only hurt him.
After thinking it over and over, she finally said, "Hey, don't be like that. You've already helped me a lot, there's nothing to apologize for. Besides, raising silkworms is quite hard work, and I'm still young, so I can't help much. In the end, it's my grandpa and grandma who will be exhausted."
"When I'm older..."
"When I'm older, I might become a well-known beekeeping expert. By then, I'll definitely have made a lot of money and won't need to rely on silkworm farming to make money anymore."
“As for the others, aren’t you still young? When you grow up, you’ll definitely be able to help a lot of people, I believe so!” As she spoke, she grabbed Li Bingchen’s hand and held it tightly.
When Li Bingchen came to his senses, he was somewhat taken aback to see Yun Duo, a 'little girl,' caring for him and comforting him like this, but he also felt very warm inside.
"Cloud, thank you. I... well, I am indeed very unhappy, and I can't say I'm fine. I'm feeling very upset."
