Chapter 819: Make It Discreet
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi was taken aback. This was the first time she had seen Su Bing cry so hard.
Instantly, she realized that her stern demeanor had frightened him. She softened her expression, reverting to the gentle motherly image she usually portrayed, and wiped away his tears.
“So, you understand that what you did was wrong,” she said. “I know you were angry at Zhou Hua for targeting your younger brother and wanted to teach her a lesson. But your method was too extreme. You’re only ten years old, and I don’t want you taking such big risks. Whatever you do, your safety comes first.”
Su Bing wiped his tears and nodded obediently, displaying a level of docility that would have shocked his young friends. “Mom, I’ll change,” he promised. “I won’t be so extreme in the future.”
Gu Zi nodded, patting his shoulder gently. Suddenly, she asked with concern, “Son, apart from those young boys, does anyone else know about this?”
Su Bing paused, then shook his head. Gu Zi let out a sigh of relief, her tone lightening. “That’s good. Actually, son, you handled this matter quite well. I’ve been annoyed with that Teacher Zhou for a while now. You did something I didn’t have the courage to do. But in the future, if you want to teach such villains a lesson, remember to tell me. We need to be more discreet. Look at you, all those boys saw what happened…
“The thing that upset me the most this time was your secrecy. It made me uneasy. You’re not allowed to hide things from me in the future, understand? As for beating up Zhou Hua, you don’t need to feel too guilty. She’s a disgrace to her profession. Giving her a beating is like giving her a spiritual makeover. It’s wrong to hit people, but in this case, I don’t have any objections.”
Gu Zi genuinely wanted to guide Su Bing to be a good person. But the more she thought about it, the more she felt that beating up someone like Zhou Hua didn’t make him a bad person. If she had been there, she might have even joined in. Even though she wanted to teach Su Bing right from wrong, she couldn’t be too hypocritical. Hypocritical education would only deceive the child.
Su Bing digested his mother’s words and said, “I understand. Mom, you mean I can hit the bad guys, as long as I do it discreetly!”
Gu Zi had been worried that she might have been too roundabout in her explanation, but it seemed the young boy had understood perfectly. She decided not to say more. She picked up the money on the table, counted it, and found it was exactly twenty-five and a half.
