I Come to Teach You Cultivation

When Qiwa returned to Li Family Village holding the infant, Li Jingshu was already back.

The Unihorned Rhinoceros at the village entrance let out lazy low moans amidst the children’s playful frolics, embodying a serene, timeless scene.

"You’ve brought another troublemaker back with you,"

After sending off the children at the village entrance, the Unihorned Rhinoceros immediately noticed Qiwa holding the infant.

This was the fourth child Qiwa had brought back in the past two years, and they were all abandoned Three-eyed Infants.

To be honest, if Li Family Village hadn’t become more prosperous over the years,

Qiwa wouldn’t have been able to support a family with the frequency of four babies in two years.

After all, influenced by Li Yu and Chen Yun,

Li Family Village’s approach to raising new generation children had long ceased to be laissez-faire.

It might not reach the opulence of the twenty-first century,

but within its means, whether in terms of food, education, or otherwise, Li Family Village was perhaps the most child-caring community in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Not to mention, not every village had a God like Unihorned Rhinoceros, playing and overseeing the children.

"His parents sacrificed him to a Mountain God,"

"Even if I take him back, his village won’t accept him anymore."

Upon hearing this, the Unihorned Rhinoceros squinted and asked back.

"But what about you? Have you considered your own pressures?"

"You and Qing He are caring for four one- or two-year-old children, do you think you can manage that?"

There wasn’t a bit of exaggeration in Unihorned Rhinoceros’s words.

When four babies start crying, even mothers with vast experience would want to avoid it.

Let alone first-time parents like Qiwa and Qing He.

The Unihorned Rhinoceros thought that even if they ended up failing to raise these four children, it wouldn’t surprise them.

"Pressure or not, it is what it is!"

"I can’t just watch them die, can I?"

After returning to his village, Qiwa noticeably relaxed, speaking in a much warmer tone than outside.

"Besides, with the increasing births of Three-eyed Infants, we need to set an example first."

"Even if other villages don’t want to raise them, they could send them to our village."

Hearing Qiwa say this, Unihorned Rhinoceros rolled its eyes skillfully. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"That sounds easy, but you’ll have to go through the village meeting first."

"Even if the old chief and Li Yu suggest it, it might not pass in the village."

Raising so many children at once, especially unusual Three-eyed Infants,

even if Li Family Village can afford it, the villagers may not be willing to.

On this, the detached Unihorned Rhinoceros saw it most clearly.

Li Family Village now had nearly ten thousand people, with a few thousand households.

With so many people and opinions, unifying them in a short time was unrealistic.

"Just take it one step at a time!"

Slightly startled, Qiwa then realized the difficulty of the situation.

...........................

"Big Girl? When did you come back?"

Leaving her home and planning to head to the textile factory, Chen Yun immediately noticed the sneaky Li Jingshu.

"Sister-in-law! Don’t speak so loudly!"

The startled Li Jingshu quickly turned around, anxiously gesturing for her to speak quietly.

In response, Chen Yun just smiled knowingly.

"Did you get into trouble again, girl?"

"Don’t worry, your mother is not home; she went to Gaotun Village."

Hearing this, Li Jingshu was first taken aback, then instinctively asked.

"She? Gaotun Village?"

"Has the sun risen from the west?"

Li Jingshu knew her mother’s character well.

Though she seemed fiery and brash, she was surprisingly timid.

Not to mention traveling far, even walking around the village was daunting for her.

"The way you say it, one would think your mother really dislikes going out!"

"If not for you, she would have gone out to find your father already."

"She only went to Gaotun Village hastily because she heard from Xiao’e about news regarding your father."

Once Chen Yun mentioned her father, Li Jingshu’s face immediately turned somber.

Li Jingshu was no longer the naïve child from more than a decade ago who knew nothing.

Toward her father, who had read a few books, learned a few words, and fancied himself a ’scholar’ with ambitions of making a name for himself outside, Li Jingshu felt genuine disdain.

"That bastard dares to come back?"

"My mom scrimped and saved for him, yet he left without a word."

"Now just when life gets a bit better, does that old bastard plan to come back and enjoy it?"

Watching the furious Li Jingshu, Chen Yun hesitated to speak, sighed deeply.

"Girl, don’t say that. Your father isn’t from the Hundred Lands Group after all."

"When your mother picked him up and forcibly married him, she had already expected this day."

Before Li Boyang was born, literacy seemed to be the privilege of the witches.

But some, through serendipity, learned to read and write and got a glimpse of the outside world.

These weren’t witches but weren’t content being just Mountain People.

They often held roles like warrior, historian, scribe, or marquis in the noble-governed Fang Kingdom.

It was evident that Li Jingshu’s absent father was likely such a person.

At least in Li Jingshu’s mind, that ungrateful man wasn’t her father.

"I don’t care about that; I won’t acknowledge him."

Stubbornly saying so, Li Jingshu’s face showed the same stubbornness as her mother’s.

Fortunately, Chen Yun knew the mother-daughter pair and didn’t argue with Li Jingshu on this.

"Alright, alright, look at your pouting mouth."

Tugging gently at Li Jingshu’s cheek, Chen Yun chuckled and changed the topic.

"Before I knew it, you’ve grown this tall..."

"I have to stand on tiptoe just to barely reach your face now."

"In my memory, you were still a little kid who couldn’t even hold a rice bowl steady."

Just as expected, Chen Yun successfully diverted Li Jingshu’s attention.

"Sister-in-law! That was years ago! Why bring it up?"

Playfully clinging to Chen Yun’s arm, Li Jingshu affectionately hooked her arm in Chen Yun’s.

"Let’s go!"

"Since my mom isn’t home, I’ll accompany you to the textile factory now!"

"And Xiaogui hasn’t seen her brothers and sisters for a while; she actually misses them a lot."

Unknowingly appearing on Li Jingshu’s shoulder, Human-faced Spider Xiaogui snarkily remarked.

"You’re the one who wants to bum a meal; why use my name as an excuse!"
