Xia Xiao said to Xia Wei, "With the tension outside, aren't you afraid, Auntie?"
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Xia Wei's words made Xia Xiao anxious. Although not every teacher was in danger, the risk was there.
At that moment, Mrs. Xia said to Wang Jinying, "Why don't you put your job on hold for now?"
Mrs. Xia stayed at home, but with neighbors on either side, she heard enough of what was going on outside and was very worried about Wang Jinying being affected.
Wang Jinying replied, "Mom, the school needs me, so I must stick to my post."
Xia Xiao looked at the dedicated Wang Jinying with great respect and admiration, but her heart was filled with even more worry.
She knew Wang Jinying was also aware of the situation outside, but persuading her seemed futile. Xia Xiao heaved a deep sigh, hoping Wang Jinying would be alright.
"Sister Kangmei?" Xia Xiao thought of Liu Kangmei, who was also a teacher, and asked.
Mrs. Xia smiled, "Your Sister Kangmei is pregnant again."
