Learning to Make Medicinal Cuisine

Ge Lihua sighed, "You two certainly have a knack for business, but it's a pity you misused it."

"Sister Lihua, we won't do it again, please don't send us away, okay?"

"Rules are rules. Since you stole, you must face the consequences."

The two children cried, "Sister Lihua, we really know we were wrong. Please give us a chance to make amends?"

"You only get one chance, and you squandered it."

Ge Lihua left the schoolhouse and asked Shen Ruyue for someone from the same village as the two children to send them home.

The parents of the two children, knowing they were at fault for selling the stolen paper, dared not make a fuss. What if they had to return the money they made from selling the paper?

With two more children gone, only twenty-five remained.

The Chu family, upon learning of the incident, didn't comment much. It was better to weed out the dishonest now than deal with bigger issues later. Dishonesty was intolerable anywhere.
