Chapter 67 Neighbor's Child
When Qin Yanlin returned home that evening, he was overjoyed to hear that Wenjing had come in first place.
The next day, I told my friend about it, and my friend said that this definitely deserves a reward, a good reward! Then my friend told Qin Yanlin to sign the child up for a summer camp so that the child could have some fun.
Qin Yanlin waved his hand dismissively, "Go!"
When I told Deng Xiuzhen about it, she agreed wholeheartedly. She believed that traveling ten thousand miles is worse than reading ten thousand books, and it was a good thing to broaden the child's horizons. Moreover, rewarding the child was a must, and I should definitely affirm it.
However, Wenjing encountered resistance. She felt that it was wrong for her to go out and play while her parents worked so hard.
But Qin Yanlin had already promised his friend that even if it was for his friend's business, he had to go.
He's currently preparing to form his own construction team and needs some well-connected friends. To make such friends, they need to support each other and help each other out. He's already agreed, and it's not easy to go back on his word.
After much persuasion, Wenjing finally agreed to enroll in a nearby school so she could go on a short trip to a place within the city with her younger siblings. This would save money, and Wenjing and Wenyu had also made significant progress, both ranking in the top twenty of their grade, and deserved a reward as well.
Finally, they decided on Dongmen Mountain Villa in the suburbs. After packing their luggage, Wenjing, along with Wenxin and Wenyu, left with the team.
Deng Xiuzhen was utterly overwhelmed with work. An absurd number of parents had come to buy things, eager to learn from the top student. Not only were there many people, but everyone was also incredibly talkative. Deng Xiuzhen was so busy she was dizzy and her throat was parched.
Having no other choice, she could only shift the blame, telling others, "I don't take much responsibility for the child; she usually studies on her own, and sometimes she goes to see Teacher Zhao."
When the parents saw Deng Xiuzhen working so hard every day, they immediately believed it: the child's mother is so busy with her business that she definitely doesn't have time to tutor the child.
The child's father leaves early and returns late every day; how can he have time to take care of the child?
The child's good grades are not only due to his intelligence, learning ability, and hard work, but also undoubtedly due to the guidance of Teacher Zhao.
As a result, Zhao Chunyan's house was packed with people. She talked until her throat was dry, but no one believed that she hadn't contributed anything; they just thought she was being modest.
A teacher who is both capable and humble is even more admirable, so even more people come to enroll.
Some parents have even started inquiring about nearby houses, planning to follow the example of Mencius' mother moving three times to move her home near the top scholar's house.
For a time, Fengle Lane was packed with people every day, and the lively scene was unprecedented.
She boosted the business of all the shops in the alley, and everyone was incredibly welcoming to Deng Xiuzhen and her family.
When Deng Xiuzhen talks about her children, especially Qin Wenjing, her eyes light up.
Qin Wenjing has become like the neighbor's child, used as an example by classmates or acquaintances' parents every day to educate their own children and make them compare and learn from her to find the gap.
Yao Huaying spent her days at home cursing and swearing. Unfortunately, she couldn't find any allies, and her mother-in-law and husband wouldn't allow her to curse, so she could only curse in her heart, feeling extremely frustrated.
"Mom, Mom!" We're back. The children returned on the afternoon of the third day.
"Didn't you say it would be a week? Why are you back today? Did something happen?" Deng Xiuzhen's heart was pounding; she had a feeling something serious had happened.
“Someone died, the body is rotting, and the teacher told us to come back quickly,” Wenxin said, gagging.
"Mom, it smells awful over there! My sister won't let me go over there." Wen Yu covered his nose, as if the stench was still lingering.
"What happened?" Deng Xiuzhen asked Wenjing.
"Dongmen Mountain Villa is right in front of Jucai Mountain. It's all mountains and water. Not only are you not allowed to go up the mountain, but you are also not allowed to go down the water. You have to pay extra to take a boat. There's really nothing fun about it."
These past two days, the teacher has been organizing everyone to sit together and tell stories and play games. It's so boring.
Today at least they came up with something interesting: they suggested a picnic, and I was in charge of gathering firewood.
There was plenty of firewood on the mountain, but they wouldn't let us go up there, saying there were wild animals; they also wouldn't let us go to the riverbank, for fear we would fall into the water.
There was nothing we could do but head towards the national highway. When we got close to the highway, we saw a pile of firewood. As we walked over, we smelled a foul odor. When we lifted the firewood, we found a box. The box looked a bit new, but the smell inside was really awful.
So we asked the teacher to go and take a look. The teacher glanced at it and called the police. Then we were told to all go back to the picnic area and wait.
I wanted to see what was in the box, so I sneaked over to take a look. I saw the police open the box, and inside was a person, the flesh was rotten. Wenjing also gagged a little, but remained calm.
"I didn't know what my sister was going to do, so I just followed her. Wen Yu followed me too. If I had known it would look so disgusting, I wouldn't have gone!" Wen Xin felt nauseous again.
“Don’t do this kind of thing again. If you sense something is wrong, leave immediately, understand?” Deng Xiuzhen said sternly.
Before the children could answer, He Xiaohai arrived with a colleague.
He repeatedly asked Wenjing and Wenxin about some details, and then left in a hurry.
As soon as they left, Deng Xiuzhen quickly comforted the child, worried that such an incident would leave a psychological scar.
As they were talking, Qin Yanlin arrived with his friend Qi Guomin.
They arrived carrying a large bag of things and immediately began apologizing profusely.
Upon seeing Qi Guomin, Deng Xiuzhen felt as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place him.
Even after they left, Deng Xiuzhen still couldn't remember it, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
In the afternoon, Wen Yu developed a fever. Deng Xiuzhen asked Wen Jing and Wen Xin to watch the shop, told Zhao Chunyan to take care of him, and then took Wen Yu to the People's Hospital for treatment.
There was a clinic in the alley, but she was worried that Wenyu's fever might be related to what happened today, and she was afraid that the clinic wouldn't be able to make an accurate diagnosis.
The doctor examined Wenyu and then asked him some questions, which Wenyu answered himself.
In conclusion, it was just a slight cold from being exposed to the wind; taking some fever-reducing medication should be enough.
Deng Xiuzhen was relieved. She prescribed the medicine, fed Wen Yu half a tablet of Analgin, and then took him home.
"You slut, how dare you seduce my husband! I'll beat you to death!" Just as I stepped out of the hospital, I saw a group of people gathered together, and a sharp curse came from within the circle.
Deng Xiuzhen wanted to turn around and leave, but Wen Yu was still sick, and she wanted to take him home to rest as soon as possible.
"I heard she's the wife of Yuan Qiwen from the Education Bureau," someone said.
Upon hearing this, Deng Xiuzhen stopped. Could it be that Yuan Qiwen's wife was beating that young female teacher?
With a burning desire for gossip raging in her heart, she looked down at Qin Wenyu.
"Mom, you go and see, I want to see the excitement too," Wen Yu said softly to Deng Xiuzhen.
The mother and son squeezed into the crowd and saw a somewhat plump woman pinning another woman to the ground and tearing her clothes apart. The girl on the ground had her clothes torn to shreds, but she didn't fight back. She just covered her head and huddled on the ground, sobbing softly.
This scene is not suitable for children.
Deng Xiuzhen covered Wen Yu's eyes and planned to leave with him quickly.
