"Pfft!" Xia Xiao burst into laughter as she watched Old Lady Gao disappear out of sight.
At the gate of her home, Zheng Xianghong stood there and laughed, "Aren't you going to Youth Point? Remember to come back before it gets dark; it's not safe to walk at night."
"Yes, Mom." Xia Xiao chuckled and left.
Zheng Xianghong went back into the house and told Gao Guoqiang about Xia Xiao's recent run-in with Old Lady Gao outside. She had seen Xia Xiao leave and was thinking of chasing after her to remind her to come back before dark to avoid the unseen paths, but unexpectedly, she saw Old Lady Gao talking to Xia Xiao.
Upon seeing Xia Xiao, with her school books in hand, drive Old Lady Gao away, Zheng Xianghong couldn't help but laugh. She never thought Old Lady Gao would be afraid of that. However, Zheng Xianghong hadn't heard what Old Lady Gao had said earlier; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to laugh—she might have been angered by now.
Gao Guoqiang's lips twitched, speechless.
