Chapter 1151: Chapter 887: Teacher Jia
From the time Wang Leqin got married, became pregnant, and had a child, no one from the old family came, not because they didn’t want to, but because Yang Wei didn’t allow it. Due to the child’s issue, Yang Wei held some grievances against his parents. Having learned from the previous experience, he feared that if his mom came, it would spark another mother-in-law and daughter-in-law battle.
Simply not allowing them to come, Wang Leqin was also pampered—after all, with her own mother around, they could talk to each other, which was just right.
Yang Wei’s family didn’t come, but Wang Yueqin did make several phone calls to the old home. Although Wang Leqin was quite straightforward and said the relationship was not good, she was actually much better than Sun Yu, very poised in speech and action.
Sooner or later, since they didn’t live together, they still spoke politely. Although there had only been a few phone calls, the parents at home were very satisfied. Because their son didn’t let them come, they didn’t dare express any grievances, knowing it was their oversight regarding the eldest grandson’s matter.
Even though they couldn’t visit, to show satisfaction with their daughter-in-law, they often sent local specialties from the old home.
These were all seen by Wang Leqin and her mom, determining that Yang Wei’s parents from the old home were also reasonable. They should be easy to get along with.
Three months after Wang Leqin gave birth, she went back to work. She was taking lots of gown orders that needed completing. But usually, people asking her for designs paid very high prices; they catered to high-end markets.
Wang Leqin didn’t only take orders from Z City; she accepted them from all over the country, mainly targeting wealthy clients. A single piece could cover her year’s expenses.
So don’t be fooled by her store’s usual tranquility; when orders come in, it’s overwhelming. Of course, there are also plenty of customers for wedding dresses and gowns, but she’s separated the stores. She rented a storefront next door specifically for regular folks, while the original only catered to VIPs.
After Lin Wan finished this busy phase, it was already another summer. Lin Wan wasn’t planning to have her daughter attend summer classes; she wanted her to have some fun.
Then Teacher Jia mentioned her daughter’s math was kind of poor, warning that two months of playing would leave her behind once school started. Lin Wan felt something was off. She hired tutors initially because she couldn’t help with some math problems herself, but overall, her daughter wasn’t bad in math. How did it become poor under Teacher Jia’s watch?
Still, Lin Wan didn’t agree to have her daughter attend summer classes. It happened that Hanhan was going south to travel, and Xingxing wanted to go too; Yaoyao’s trip was organized by the school. Although the junior high hadn’t arranged one, those interested could go. Given just the two girls, Lin Wan felt uneasy. Luckily, her cousin also signed up Yangyang, so the kids had some company. With Yangyang being a boy, he could protect the girls, so Lin Wan signed up her daughter, too. It was a seven-day trip to several places with female teachers traveling along to look after the girls.
Lin Wan prepared things for the kids, packed sunscreen, and specially arranged some comfortable clothes from the factory. As Lin Wan sent the kids off, Teacher Jia directly called Han Yi at the base, accusing her of neglecting the child’s studies, claiming that such indulgence would only make the child worse and spoil a good potential. He criticized Lin Wan for her insistence, which would only ruin the child. He spoke at length against Lin Wan.
When Han Yi discussed it with her in the evening, she couldn’t believe Teacher Jia would do such a thing.
Lin Wan was very angry about Teacher Jia’s actions. Whether to have tuition or not was the parents’ freedom; why should they have to follow the tutor’s way? If she had said the child needed tutoring, they would consider it, but currently, the child doesn’t need it.
"So how did you reply to him? You didn’t agree with what he said, did you?" Lin Wan snapped at Han Yi angrily.
"No, Xingxing is in the top five of the whole grade, and it’s no problem to aim for a key high school later. The child is still young, with limited endurance. We don’t need to push too hard. Summer is meant for the kids to have fun, go out, see the world, and expand horizons. It’s better than cooping up at home studying all day. I told him that, but that Teacher Jia’s words were odd. He didn’t listen and said some bad things about you."
"What’s his deal? I’ve never offended him. Whenever Xingxing had tutoring, didn’t I always host with fruit and snacks... " Lin Wan paused in surprise, then asked, "You said her words were odd? In what way? Did she criticize you too?" This Teacher Jia was normal in daily conversation; how did he become irrational when it came to interests?
