After successfully purchasing the rosemary, Gu Zi decided not to linger. She glanced at the time and realized it was time for her eldest and second child to finish school. Given that she was carrying a potted plant, it wasn't convenient to continue shopping. They promptly left the farmers' market and got in the car to head to the school.

Their parents were too busy with household chores to spare the time to walk and fetch their children. The so-called warm-hearted education often paled in comparison to the harsh realities of life.
