Zhang Zhongkun nodded and said, "Don't be sad, we all believe in you." And then pointing to Liang Jinzhao, he continued, "Young Master Liang has come from the Capital City; he didn't know about your family's situation, which is why he spoke like that. Now that he knows, he won't talk about you that way anymore."
Liang Jinzhao felt a mixture of anger, shame, and confusion. His anger stemmed from the girl repeatedly calling him Big Uncle, which he intuitively felt was intentional. The shame came from frequently hearing his grandfather and father talk about the difficulties faced by the families of deceased soldiers and not taking it seriously. Today, he encountered such a person and, rather than helping her, he had argued with her, almost as if he wanted to bully her to death. The girl's sharp tongue made him want to lose his temper, but the condition of her family evoked deep sympathy, and these conflicting emotions intertwined, creating a profound sense of conflict.
