Chapter 1610: Chapter 1604: Extreme Wisdom Can Be Harmful Chapter 1610: Chapter 1604: Extreme Wisdom Can Be Harmful In an instant, Qing Zhu thought about a lot of things. She increasingly wanted to know what she was like before, which made her feel a lot of uncertainty and a bit uneasy, always feeling an inexplicable sense of not belonging.

“I know, don’t worry. I won’t overthink it, and I also believe they’ll be back soon.” Nangong Shulan was just worried about their safety, not actually hoping for anything to happen to the kids, so she believed they would be fine.

“Mom, Sister Qing Zhu, what are you talking about?” Qin Jiale asked, looking at her mother and Qing Zhu sitting in the yard talking, while a few children were muttering by the door, not sure what they were doing.

“Nothing much. What are you planning to do?” Nangong Shulan looked at the basket in her daughter’s hand and asked.

“I want to go to the riverbank to catch some whelks and stir-fry them.” Qin Jiale knew there were plenty of whelks now and remembered the delicious dish her sister had made.

“Craving, huh? Just be careful and don’t fall into the river.” Nangong Shulan didn’t forbid her from going. She often went there; only because she almost drowned last time had she not gone for a while. Now, it’s not impossible for her to go, just needs to be careful.

“I know, Mom. You have to keep an eye on these boys. Who knows what they’re doing, being all mysterious, not like one or two-year-old kids at all.” Qin Jiale remembered when she came home during the holidays and discovered these kids at home, almost making her laugh out loud. But upon inquiring, she found out her sister was not around. Although disappointed, she was happy too. Today, she’s going to catch whelks and make something delicious for them.

In a few days, she had to go back to school for exams before the official holiday when she could spend time playing with them.

If she had known her sister had sent these kids back earlier, she wouldn’t have stayed at school so long. She would have come back every holiday. She missed it last time and didn’t realize, but thankfully she came back last night; otherwise, she wouldn’t have even known her sister had brought them back once they left.

And her parents too, how could they not say anything to her, making her feel like an out-of-touch fool?

“Speaking of this, there’s nothing I can do. They are too sensible. I don’t know how your sister taught them. Despite their young age, they all have big hearts, like old souls.” Speaking of this, Nangong Shulan felt both relieved and emotional.

“That just shows my sister taught them well. Look at our village; whose kids are as smart and cute as ours?” Qin Jiale felt like there wasn’t another family in the whole village with kids as smart and adorable as theirs.

“Yes, Auntie, I also think Qin Xue’s kids are exceptionally smart. They’re too precocious, so it’s important to be careful.” Qing Zhu also knew that being too intelligent too early could be a burden for children, and her own daughter showed some signs of this too.

Sometimes Qing Zhu didn’t know what to say about it. Each of them showed talents beyond their age, bringing her joy and concern at the same time.

“You must have thought about this, right? Although the saying ‘excessive wisdom brings harm’ has some truth, we’re in the village and haven’t been anywhere, so there won’t be any trouble.” Nangong Shulan was also educated, and she was willing to believe her grandchildren were smart, but she wasn’t happy hearing about potential mishaps.

Not just Nangong Shulan, no one would be pleased. Human emotions are like that–the closer they are, the more they don’t want any accidents.

It’s not just Nangong Shulan who thinks this way; everyone feels the same, unwilling to have any accidents happen to those around them.
