Chapter 151: Doing The Right Thing
Shao Xiang did not speak, and neither did Fang Ya. The two of them just sat in silence.
Not long after, He Peng returned home from school. It was a little strange to see Shao Xiang and Fang Ya sitting in the yard.
“Grandma, Mom, what are you doing here?” He Peng walked forward, took off his schoolbag, and put it aside.
Fang Ya looked at He Peng’s sweaty face and asked, “Why are you sweating all over?”
He Peng wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. “I caught a thief on the way back.”
Fang Ya and Shao Xiang were a little surprised to hear He Peng’s words.
“Caught a thief?” Fang Ya looked at the traces of mud on He Peng’s face and asked, “Are you hurt?”
He Peng shook his head and said proudly, “I’m fine! The technique that dad taught me is really good!”
Fang Ya smiled helplessly and asked, “What about the thief?”
He Peng grinned and said, “He has been taken away by the police!”
“You can’t take such a risk next time, do you understand!” Fang Ya looked at He Peng with a slightly serious expression.
“You’re still a child. It’s very dangerous!” Fang Ya warned him.
He Peng felt a little wronged, but he still nodded.
Shao Xiang quickly tried to persuade him, “A child is only trying his best! You should praise him!”
“Mom!” Fang Ya said to Shao Xiang helplessly, “What if the thief was armed? What if he’s stronger than him?”
“He doesn’t know the severity of the matter and only knows how to charge forward. It’s very easy to put himself in danger!” Fang Ya said and could not help but sigh.
Shao Xiang also knew what Fang Ya meant, but when she saw He Peng’s aggrieved look, she still felt a little heartache.
Fang Ya felt a little helpless. She looked at Shao Xiang and after a long while, she laughed. “This child is really like his father!”
When Shao Xiang saw Fang Ya laugh, her face finally relaxed a little.
She gently pulled He Peng into her arms and said, “It’s a good thing for you to do what’s right!”
“Your mother and I admire you very much!” Shao Xiang said sincerely, “But, what your mother said is not wrong.”
“If you encounter this kind of situation in the future, you must first make sure that you’re his match. Don’t put yourself in danger, understand!” Shao Xiang warned He Peng.
He Peng listened to Shao Xiang’s words and nodded animatedly.
Fang Ya saw that He Peng looked depressed, so she said to Shao Xiang, “Tonight, let’s add a dish for our little hero!”
Hearing Fang Ya’s words, He Peng’s eyes instantly lit up.
Shao Xiang saw this and also echoed, “Good! Our He Peng has grown up! He’s a hero of justice! Heroes deserve good meals!”
He Peng finally revealed a smile.
The large woman would carry Tang Tang to her home every day to “bond”. She would only send Tang Tang home in the evening.
At that moment, Tang Tang was being carried into the courtyard and heard Shao Xiang and Fang Ya talking about how they wanted to reward He Peng.
The large woman came forward curiously. “He Peng scored 100 points in his exam? Is he being rewarded for that?”
The large woman’s words immediately silenced He Peng.
He Peng stood rooted to the ground and returned to his previous depressed look.
When Fang Ya saw this, she suddenly remembered that these two days seemed to be the end of the semester for He Peng.
When she looked at He Peng’s appearance, she knew that this child’s results had not been very good.
Fang Ya wanted to laugh, but she tried hard to hold it in. “He Peng, how was the exam?”
He Peng raised his head to look at Fang Ya, his face begging for mercy.
Fang Ya tried her best to hold back her laughter and said, “Take it out! If I don’t sign it, it’ll be hard to explain it to the teacher!”
He Peng pursed his lips and took out his exam paper from his backpack.
Fang Ya looked at the 85 marks written on the exam paper and shook her head. “He Peng, studying still comes first, understand?”
He Peng quickly nodded and obediently handed his pen to Fang Ya with both hand
