With a somber expression, He Lang listened as Mrs. He recounted the whole story.
Mrs. He sighed. "You have no idea how dangerous it was. If your wife hadn't knocked Lai San out, who knows what might have happened? The village chief wouldn't let us call the police, and your father said to just let it go. Otherwise, I would have made sure he ended up in prison."
He Lang looked at Xue Yue. He saw no particular emotion on her face; she just watched him calmly.
"I understand, Mom. You two should get some sleep. I'm going to wash up."
Mrs. He waved her hand dismissively. "Now that you're back, I'll head home."
"Mom, don't run off in the middle of the night. Just stay here for the night. We have a spare room, anyway." Xue Yue was worried about Mrs. He going back so late.
"Alright, then. I'll sleep in the next room. He Lang, you should hurry up and get washed so you can sleep too. From now on, don't come home in the dead of night."
