Chapter 1146: Sincere Treatment

Han Jing smiled ingratiatingly, of course she could see that Xia Wu had been moved by compassion.

The pain of losing a beloved daughter, how could Xia Wu truly have moved on? It’s just that with Xiao Xue’s company these days, it’s somewhat shifted Xia Wu’s attention, preventing her from continuing to dwell in sadness. Now seeing A zhu, seeing A zhu’s helpless circumstances and experiences, Xia Wu can’t help but feel a bit sympathetic and tender-hearted.

Han Jing made this suggestion, taking advantage of the situation; though neither Xiao Xue nor the kind and stubborn girl A zhu could replace the already deceased Zhu’er, at least they could bring Xia Wu some solace.

“Grandpa Zhu, A zhu, come over here, we have something to discuss with you,” Han Jing called out.

The grandfather and granddaughter heard Han Jing’s voice, and both were slightly excited, hastening to come over.

Han Jing looked at them and solemnly said, “Grandpa Zhu, A zhu, we just thought of a way to help you. However…”

Han Jing said to A zhu, “You are a perceptive girl, and given the current situation, even if we come forward to help, it would mostly be a short-term solution that doesn’t address the root of the problem. Therefore, we want to ask for your opinion. If you are willing to become my sister’s apprentice, as my sister’s disciple, we can go to your Yunzhu island’s Island Master and ask him to look after Grandpa Zhu, ensuring his safety on Yunzhu island. What do you think?”

Although Han Jing proposed this method, which is the best way to resolve the issue now, becoming an apprentice is something that should be willingly agreed upon, neither Han Jing nor Xia Wu had any intention of forcing it.

Han Jing’s idea left A zhu and Grandpa Zhu stunned on the spot, with Grandpa Zhu even becoming excited enough to want to kneel before Han Jing and them, but Han Jing stopped him, smiling, “Please don’t be so excited, our A zhu hasn’t agreed yet!”

A zhu blushed at Han Jing’s teasing, saying, “Being able to apprentice under my benefactor is something A zhu wouldn’t dare dream of, it’s just I… I…”

She was only worried about her grandfather, not wanting to leave him alone, even though such a rare opportunity might never come again in her lifetime. Moreover, for Han Jing and them to suggest such an idea, it was not just simply helping them, but rather, it was with genuine sincerity.

She couldn’t refuse the life-saving benefactors’ sincere treatment, yet couldn’t put aside her elderly grandfather, feeling extremely conflicted.

“A zhu, why are you still hesitating? Quickly apprentice yourself! This is a blessing that one can’t achieve even in several lifetimes, don’t worry about Grandpa, he’s doing well. As long as you’re fine, Grandpa will be happy and could even live a few more years!” Grandpa Zhu was incredibly excited. Originally, he only thought, if they could take A zhu away, even if it meant becoming a servant or a maid, it would be a rare blessing for them. It was better than letting A zhu be harmed by ill-intentioned individuals, at least the young ladies in front of them were kind-hearted and wouldn’t mistreat their family member A zhu.

But he never expected that they would propose to take A zhu as an apprentice.

For the pearl farmers at the very bottom, to have such an opportunity, is so rare! Many children here are very talented, but unfortunately lack a good mentor.
