Brother Cheng waited for Ah Song to leave before quickly asking Gu Jin'an, "Big Brother, have the teacher and Third Sister really forgiven me?"
He was terrified, even dreaming that the teacher and Third Sister left, his big brother crying, Second Sister scolding him for being incompetent, and he became the family's sinner.
Gu Jin'an said, "Third Miss never held a grudge against you. Once she says she's forgiven you, she won't get angry again."
As for the teacher…
Gu Jin'an looked at the two plates of pastries on the table and said, "The teacher wasn't truly angry. If he were angry, he wouldn't have disciplined us. From the moment the teacher punished us, it showed he had forgiven us and intended to continue teaching us."
A truly angry person wouldn't care about your well-being anymore. By taking the trouble to discipline the two brothers, it showed he still cared to teach.
