Chapter 803: Got Her Sentence Reduced

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Su Bing was helping his mother pick vegetables, he overheard Su Li discussing a certain matter. His eyelashes fluttered slightly, concealing the unusual glint in his eyes.

Gu Zi, taken aback by the conversation, naturally didn’t notice Su Bing’s subtle expression. She turned to Su Li, asking, “What happened?”

Su Li responded, “I’m not entirely sure. She seemed normal during class yesterday. However, after school, we saw her bullying three boys who were running a stall. Today, I saw her looking like she’d been in a fight.”

Su Li felt a sense of relief. He had almost revealed the incident where Teacher Zhou had wronged him during class. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. He now agreed with his brother’s sentiment that there was no need to involve their mother. After all, with all the wrongs Teacher Zhou had committed, someone was bound to deal with her eventually. There was no need to worry their mother every time.

Gu Zi found it strange. Why had Zhou Hua been beaten up for no apparent reason? She turned to Su Bing, her question laced with a hint of suspicion, “You came home late last night. Do you know what happened?”

Although it seemed unlikely that Su Bing had beaten Zhou Hua to a pulp and Zhou Hua had not sought revenge but instead quietly taken leave to recover, Gu Zi still harbored some doubts. After all, Su Bing was known for his cunning, and Zhou Hua had bullied Su Li before. If Su Bing wanted revenge, beating up Zhou Hua might not be a difficult task.

Su Bing knew his mother was not easily fooled, but his face remained impassive. Even if his mother had suspicions, she wouldn’t dare to confirm them. He calmly replied, “Yesterday, after I finished my duties, I saw a man looking for Zhou Hua. He claimed that Zhou Hua’s husband owed him money. I don’t know anything beyond that.”

Throughout their conversation, Gu Zi had been studying his eyes. He didn’t seem to be lying. Moreover, his statement reminded Gu Zi of the information she had received from Grandma Gao. It mentioned that Zhou Hua’s husband was a notorious gambler. It made sense that a creditor had come to collect a debt from Zhou Hua, hence the beating. Zhou Hua, not daring to call the police, had no choice but to suffer in silence.

Gu Zi felt a pang of regret. How could she always suspect Su Bing? She shouldn’t always assume the worst of him.
