Chapter 78: Fear
Is it revenge or gratitude?
Li Yuheng was almost driven crazy by this choice. No matter who faced this situation, no one could remain absolutely rational.
Reason reminded Li Yuheng that sending Li Jun away might be his only chance. He believed that Li Jun could understand, after all, his parents also died at the hands of that corrupt official.
But on the other hand, emotions reminded Li Yuheng that driving a ten-year-old child out of the house would be like asking for his life.
A ten-year-old child has no survival skills at all.
Li Yuheng felt hot and cold all over, as if he had been split in half by an axe. His reason and emotions were clamoring wildly, making him wish he could die.
Ye Shuo on the other side seemed not to notice his pain and continued to urge him: “What’s so difficult about this choice? At worst, you can just send your brother to a charity.”
It was particularly easy for him to say this, so it seemed even more cruel.
The charity hall of the Zhou Dynasty was equivalent to an orphanage, which not only contained orphanages and nursing homes, but also other things. It could be considered an ancient version of an official charity organization.
