Chapter 45: Soul Painter

Ms. Liu asked what he had learned that day.

Bai Shanbao, experienced in dealing with his grandmother, only told her about the content of the class discussions with Mr. Zhuang, not mentioning his and Manbao's plan to catch bugs to scare Second Cousin.

Even without thinking too hard, Ms. Liu knew her grandson couldn't have been behaving that well in school, especially since Mr. Zhuang had unusually brought up the responsibilities of the County Magistrate.

There must have been a reason for this, but she didn't ask too much. Instead, she waved her grandson over to explain to him what a County Magistrate was and the duties such a role entailed.

Bai Shanbao listened attentively and decided he would tell Manbao the next day, smug in the knowledge that he knew much more than she did.

Seeing her grandson so earnest, Ms. Liu spoke even more thoroughly and with increasing gentleness, unlike his previous rebellious attitude.
