Bai Ruozhu didn't know how to respond, so she just laughed awkwardly and said, "I dare not imagine such things. As long as he grows up healthy and lives a decent life, that's enough."
Zhou Taohua was somewhat surprised by Bai Ruozhu's response. She had always believed that parents should hope for their children to have a promising future. Why did Bai Ruozhu seem to hope for her son not to achieve much?
Bai Ruozhu saw the confusion in her eyes and laughed inwardly. How could this young girl understand the wisdom of "peace and safety are the greatest blessings"?
Zhou Taohua snapped back to reality, her smile returning to her face, "Where are you headed? I hope I'm not interrupting."
Bai Ruozhu wanted to say 'yes', but thought better of it. Unexpectedly, Fang Guizhi chimed in first: "We are just strolling around, no interruption at all. Let's walk together."
