A person must have a conscience.
Su Junlin might not have accomplished much, just biding his time in the army, but he was fair in matters of public and private, with an upright character.
Shen Qing felt troubled too. "Reaching this stage today is not just one person's responsibility; I hold a large part too. I haven't fulfilled my duty to teach my child at home and my wife by my side. Please don't blame yourself. I will raise Shen Feng well, not expecting him to have great achievements, but hoping he'll be an honest and decent person."
In the past few days, while taking care of Shen Feng, he discovered that Shen Feng had developed many bad habits and was domineering at school. He was truly ashamed and regretful, feeling responsible for his failure in parenting.
Therefore, he had already taken a year off to properly correct Shen Feng.
