Zhao Guihua had no ambition and did not expect her son to become a high-ranking official. She was content with the family being safe and sound, free from illness and disaster.
Zhou Dafu grinned, scratched his head, and said, "Mom, I understand. I won't get stuck on things like this anymore. I'll definitely live a good life from now on. Studying is something I enjoy, and if I can get good grades, that would be the icing on the cake."
