Mu Zigu was surprised by his wife's words. From what he observed earlier, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo were young and capable of having their own children, so adopting children without necessity indicated compassion.
"They are that kind?" he asked, still in disbelief.
Understanding his reaction, Xiao Yiqing thought it was natural, as she too found it hard to believe at first. She had learned from Mu Yiqing about the harshness of their era when her body was still taken over by that foreign soul.
"Meijia told me that Li Chenmo donates most of the grains and meat he receives on distribution day to orphans and the elderly without families in the brigade. He truly deserves to be called a hero," she added.
At first, Mu Zigu admired Li Chenmo for his noble actions. But hearing his wife's praises, he felt a pang of jealousy and complained, "Wife, could you not praise him so much in front of me?"
"Are you jealous?" Xiao Yiqing teased.
