"By selling to those outside the base, we thought we were providing something they desperately needed, while also keeping our family alive. But now… now I see that we were wrong."
Zhong Xiao's eyes moistened slightly but he still gritted his teeth and shouted,
"If you want to punish, punish me, I was the one who had come with that plan!"
Su Jiyai paused.
Mother Zhong's words did hit her.
But...
"If you care so much about the pregnant woman outside the base, why can't you think about the pregnant woman in the base?" Su Jiyai asked with narrowed eyes.
The Zhong family lowered their head in shame.
It was true.
Though they were helpless their actions can't be justified.
Su Jiyai could see the internal struggle within them, especially in Zhong Xiao's defiant posture.
He was trying to shield his family from the consequences, but his actions were a reflection of the collective desperation they felt.
