"Retribution..." Su Li mulled over the word, her expression complex.
The concept of retribution was sometimes mystical and complicated. No one could say for certain if something was retribution, but no one dared say it definitely wasn't.
In her past life, Su Li had confronted the word "retribution" several times—in relation to herself, to Mrs. Tang, and to many others. Now, she was facing it again in this life.
"I suppose it really is retribution..." Su Li said with a faint smile.
From her perspective, the idea of retribution was quite satisfying. It felt like justice served.
"Mama, what does 'retribution' mean? Grandma has been talking about it in her sleep these past few nights."
Little Tang Mo asked while snuggled in Su Li's arms.
"Retribution means that for every action, there is a reaction. For every cause, there is an effect. Everything you receive now, be it a blessing or a curse, is a form of retribution."
