"Is it enough for those kids to come only half a day every day?"
Looking at the clueless kids leaving, Yuan expressed her concerns.
According to Zheng Fa’s rules, the children came to the temple in the morning to study and would return home before lunch, spending only two hours a day.
Zheng Fa was silent for a while before responding, "Sister Yuan, the people of Half Mountain City indeed have short lifespans. Not to mention the five-year-olds, ten-year-olds are already considered strong enough for labor... If they spend the whole day in the temple, their families would struggle to get by."
Zheng, who grew up on a farm, knew very well that full-time study was actually a luxury.
Even when Mr. Zheng was alive, he would help with a lot of chores every day.
Not to mention that the conditions in Half Mountain City were still not as good as those at the Zhao Family’s Farm.
Considering the average lifespan of around thirty years in Half Mountain City, a ten-year-old could already be considered a youth...
Most children in Half Mountain City either had to help with cooking at home or follow their elders to the mountains and rivers.
