Chapter 582: The Gentleman Is Right

Since Zhou Silang left, the five people in the courtyard didn't even bother to cook anymore, not only buying ready-made dishes from outside but also purchasing their rice from the county town.

The two brought the meals back to the small courtyard, and since it wasn't far, both the rice and dishes were still hot.

It wasn't until the meal was set that Bai Erlang, looking utterly defeated, came out, and the two knew immediately from the look of him that his homework had not gone well, that he had surely been scolded again.

Mr. Zhuang took his seat at the head of the table and, seeing Bai Erlang's listless appearance, gently tapped his bowl with his chopsticks, saying, "One should not show joy or anger on one's face, you should restrain yourself a bit."

Only then did Bai Erlang straighten up a little, though his face still bore a dejected expression.

Mr. Zhuang did not expect him to change completely right away, so he started calling everyone to eat instead.
