Chapter 204 Resilience

“Oh, they’re so pitiful. But now that it’s confirmed that Uncle doesn’t have tuberculosis, Master, please go and help prove that Uncle is a good person and has done good deeds. Their lives will get better from now on.” Song Tingnan felt sorry for them and begged Gao Haoran.

Gao Haoran was somewhat pessimistic, "I guess so! Sigh!"

"Master, is there anything else?"

“Tingnan, you’re still young and haven’t experienced much. Some things can’t be forgotten just like that. Your Uncle Kai has some mental issues. When he’s normal, he’s fine, like today, chatting and laughing with us. But once those painful memories of being violated are triggered, he has an attack. Xingzi has had a hard time all these years, taking care of him and accommodating him. This woman, although Japanese, has a lot of resilience, is loyal and righteous, and deserves respect!”

Ting Nan urged Gao Haoran urgently, "Then Master, you must help them find a certificate from the government so that people won't discriminate against them, and Uncle won't get sick again."

"Sigh, I will definitely do my best to do it, but it takes a long time. What can I prove by myself? I can't fight for anything for Akai either."

"Hmph, Master, I want to be a high-ranking official in the future, like Bao Zheng!" Nan said fiercely as he heard his master sigh again.

Gao Haoran patted Ting Nan on the shoulder, "Well done, keep up the good work, and speak up for those who are wronged in the future! As for Akai, get well first, I'll find a way to help him."

Ting Nan nodded. “Master, I believe you will handle things well. Times have changed. We have studied ‘Red Star Over China’, which says that ‘the Communist Party naturally opposes imperialism, but their anti-Japanese propaganda is not based on racial prejudice against the Japanese. They only oppose Japanese warlords, capitalists and other fascist oppressors, while the Japanese people are their potential allies.’ Aunt Xing is just an ordinary Japanese person.”

"Haha, Ting Nan, I've discovered you really have the potential to become an official. Your focus on reading is quite unique!"

"That's right, don't you know who I am, Master? Go ahead and do your thing. The higher-ups will definitely take Aunt Xing's problem seriously. I'll buy more food for Uncle and Aunt to help them get better first, and then wait for your good news."

"You're really optimistic!"

"That's right, who is my master?"

"Tch, she's just flattering me again."

"Master, you're becoming less aloof."

"What's with the aloofness? With you around, how can I stay aloof? All you do is give me tasks all day long." Gao Haoran always felt relaxed when he was with Ting Nan, and couldn't help but tease her.

"Master, Master, where do you think I should go to high school?" Nan changed the subject, she had been wanting to hear her master's opinion for a long time.

"Your results are out?" Gao Haoran felt a little guilty, as he had been so busy with Akai's affairs that he hadn't paid attention to them.

Nan said proudly, "I'm out of the exam, and I did pretty well. My godmother said I can choose any school, and she can even help me get in touch with the No. 1 High School in Anxi City."

"Really? Hahaha, that's great. I must go back to Gaojia Village and have a drink with your uncle." Gao Haoran was very happy. This kid was really good; he was talented and hardworking.

"Okay, Master, how about we invite my godfather and godmother along?"

Gao Haoran agreed: "Absolutely. I'll go over and tell Xiaojuan to cook a good meal. You and your godfather's car will come back."

"Master, please come with us!"

"No need, you're 'Master Qingling' now, you'll be 'Song Tingnan' when you go back!" Gao Haoran joked. His disciple's good performance on the exam had dispelled some of the gloom in his heart caused by Yi Kai.
