Xiao Jingran patted the young teenager's shoulder and exhaled. "You have done a good job protecting your younger siblings."
Upon hearing that, Sun Tiezhu's eyes actually watered again. These past few months had indeed been hard on him.

"The content in this letter involves a high-ranking official in this county." Xiao Jingran continued.
