Chapter 495: Chapter 495 Whispering Secrets

Zhiwu knew that Jiang Mianmian was afraid of the sun, so instead of running around everywhere as he usually did, he sat beside her, soaking their feet in the water, while he poured out his troubles.

"Ah, Mianmian, you have no idea how tough this summer vacation has been. Since Zhiwen and I didn’t do well on our end-of-term exams, dad has made us work in the fields. We start before dawn and keep at it until it’s dark, and then we have to do our homework by lamp light. We’re tired and sleepy every day. I think I’ve stopped growing," Zhiwen complained with a wretched expression.

Zhiwu too had a face full of misery and resentment, "Yeah, Mianmian, I really miss going to school now. After all these years, it’s the first time I’m actually looking forward to school starting. Once it begins, we won’t have to work in the fields anymore; we’ll be free."

Jiang Mianmian, finding their plight somewhat amusing, couldn’t help but laugh, "Haha, big brother, second brother, now you know how hard it is to do this kind of work, right? If you don’t study hard, you’ll end up working like this every day."

Seizing the opportunity to nudge them in the right direction, she knew that Zhiwen and Zhiwu weren’t dumb. If they put their hearts into studying, they would definitely not be getting the grades they were now.

The fact that their uncle was willing to take a tough approach to educate them was truly a good thing for them.

"Sigh, you really are heartless, Mianmian, laughing at us like that. You had such a good summer break. We heard from uncle that you went to the Capital City with Brother Yu for nearly half a month," Zhiwu said enviously.

"That’s probably the treatment for doing well in school. If I could pass, I think dad wouldn’t make me work anymore," Zhiwen also sighed.

"Big brother, second brother, you’re absolutely right. If you want to avoid the work, studying is your only way out. Look at me, ever since I started school, I haven’t had to do any work, and I can even get a scholarship to buy whatever I want to eat," Jiang Mianmian began to encourage further study.

"Okay, I get it. I truly understand the benefits of studying now. When the next term starts, I will definitely study hard. The fields really are too demanding."

Zhiwen now truly regretted that he once said he didn’t want to go to school and planned to farm with his dad instead.

These two months had given him his fill of farming hardships, and he was grateful that his dad didn’t take him seriously and let him really start farming.

During these two months, he had sworn to himself more than once that, as soon as school started, he would study diligently and stop fooling around. Farming was just too exhausting.

Jiang Mianmian and her siblings were exchanging their feelings by the riverside, while Jiang Changhai and his brothers were also whispering quietly as their parents were busy working in the yard.

"Big brother, when are we going to the mountains to dig for ginseng today?" Jiang Changtao asked anxiously.

Ever since his second brother mentioned that there was old ginseng on the back mountain, he had been obsessed with the idea, fearing that someone else might discover and claim it first. Now that Jiang Changhai had finally returned, he couldn’t wait to grab his tools and set off.

"Yeah, big brother, when do we go?" Jiang Changhe also chimed in with the question.

Jiang Changhai answered calmly, "No need to rush. It just rained a couple of days ago. The wild animals on the mountain will definitely be out and about, taking advantage of the cool weather to look for food. If we accidentally run into a hungry beast while digging for ginseng, that could be dangerous. We need to wait a bit longer."
