Xiao Wu thought for a moment, then felt embarrassed: "Mom, it was my fault, I shouldn't have——"
Lady Huang patted Xiao Wu's shoulder: "Mom knows! You're thinking for our Huang Family, and now everyone in the county is watching. If we don't do it well, many might gossip about us behind our backs! Just remember, Xiao Wu, when the Huang Family faced hardship before, no one lent a hand to help. Now, there's no need to care about what outsiders say! We just need to have a clear conscience and not worry about others!"
Xiao Wu nodded and fell silent.
Only then did Lady Huang take his hand, leading him home.
In the Song Family Courtyard, after Lady Huang and Xiao Wu ran out, Old Granny Zhang shook her head and sighed: "Lady Huang's efforts go unnoticed, but Xiao Wu's heart is sincere."
