Chapter 692: A Little Kindness

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Mei’s brother was at a loss for words, his gaze shifting towards Gu Shan.

At that moment, Gu Shan’s face was a mask of discomfort. The repeated instances of his own words coming back to haunt him were indeed hard to bear. For a moment, he felt as if his chest was blocked, his discomfort evident in his grim expression.

However, seeing Zhang Mei’s brother and considering the importance of the matter at hand, he suppressed his anger. “Gu Zi, it seems you still hold a grudge against us,” he began. “You must understand, we too were distressed at the time. We now realize that sending you off to the countryside alone was not the most appropriate decision. We will rectify our mistakes in the future.

“But the kindness we’ve shown in raising you cannot be erased with a few words. Now that you’re back in the city, you should make an effort to socialize more, to avoid becoming the subject of gossip.

“Moreover, if you think about it, your uncle’s words are not without merit. If you help your uncle’s family with these two spots, there will surely come a time when he can assist you in return.”

Zhang Mei’s brother nodded in agreement, turning to Gu Zi with a placating look. “Yes, Gu Zi, your two stepsons are from the countryside after all. There are other schools in the city they could attend. Can’t you do your uncle this favor?”

Gu Zi watched the two men, her eyes flickering with surprise. She hadn’t expected Gu Shan to keep his temper in check this time.

She decided to change her approach in declining their request. Turning to Zhang Mei’s brother, she said with a smile, “You make a valid point. However, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help, but the two children have already taken the entrance exam. If we were to switch candidates, we would have to wait for the exam results.

“The results should be out by tomorrow afternoon. As you’ve said, the two children will likely struggle to keep up.

“When that time comes, Uncle, you can bring your two grandsons over. They can take a test at the school. I’m sure they’ll easily outperform my children. That way, this matter will be settled, and as their mother, I can give my sons a proper explanation.”

Zhang Mei’s brother was overjoyed. Was this her way of agreeing? “So, if they take the test at the school tomorrow afternoon, my two grandsons will be able to enroll in the First Bilingual Primary School?”
