In their minds, even the toughest kids in the neighborhood, Jinlai and his brothers, had been beaten into a pulp. Clearly, kids couldn't beat adults.
Hutou: "Fighting is wrong."
Zhao Guihua: "That's right."
She raised an eyebrow: "But you can't control whether others will fight or not."
Hutou nodded silently.
Zhuang Zhixi entered and remarked, "Mom, you even use this to teach the kids?"
Zhao Guihua gave him a look: "What's it to you?"
Zhuang Zhixi raised his hands in surrender.
Ming Mei curiously asked with wide eyes: "Mom, did I hear that Jiang Lu is pregnant?"
Zhao Guihua paused, then hummed in agreement. Although she thought it might not be true, she didn't want to expose it. She didn't plan to discuss it at home, as once word got out, things could escalate.
Their courtyard already had enough drama; they didn't need to add more.
She said, "With Jiang Lu having a child, the Zhou family might settle down a bit."
