No matter what, he had already gained the benefits, but he was still suspicious. He Qing did not wrongly accuse him of being "ungrateful".
Is Gu Zheng the only one in the world who speaks up for the people?
This time, Gu Zheng was silent for a little longer. After a moment, he slowly said, "Perhaps I am mistaken." Without waiting for He Qing to be happy, he continued, "But I think it would be better for the ants if the two children could stay away from the ants, or if they could always live in harmony. Although there would be no benefits, there would be no harm either. It might be better for the ants."
Stubborn!

He Qing felt an inexplicable surge of indignation. Perhaps it was because he was truly dedicated to doing practical things, and had indeed done them, yet he was still misunderstood, that this feeling became even more intense.
A later internet complaint suddenly popped up in her mind: All men are pigs.
This sudden thought startled He Qing for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing. With this interruption, his grief and anger weren't as strong.
