Chapter 406 You Can't Do This
Even if Shen Shuyu couldn't explain it, she had to go. Li Lehua was a good student, and studying could really change one's destiny. If Li Lehua didn't study, her future would be predictable, and her only options would be to get married and have children.
When Gu Jiandong heard her say that she was going to make a home visit, he supported her and said, "I'm free tomorrow, I'll go with you."
"No, just stay at home and take care of your son. It's not far away. I'll be back soon."
Shen Shuyu didn't let him accompany her because she had no classes in the morning. After eating breakfast and feeding her son, she went out on her bike.
Gu Jiandong was worried about her going alone, so he borrowed a bicycle and followed her closely.
Shen Shuyu asked for directions along the way and arrived at Li Lehua's house. Li Lehua had been waiting for her at home. When she saw her, she ran out holding her younger brother.
"Teacher Shen, you are here."
Hearing his daughter calling for the teacher, Li Shan, Li Lehua's father, came out of the room and said, "It's Teacher Lehua. Come, Teacher, please sit down. Mom, Teacher Lehua is here. Please cook for me."
"What dish should we cook? He's just a teacher, not some important person. We don't have any food at home, so how can we entertain a teacher?" The old lady's voice came from inside the room.
Li Shan smiled awkwardly, "Teacher, the child's grandmother is not feeling well, I spoke a little harshly, please sit down, I'll go cook."
“No need to cook, I came here after I had eaten. I heard Lehua said she didn’t want to study anymore, so I came here to learn more.
"Lehua's father, Lehua is gifted in studying. She has always been the top student in the class and is eager to learn. Why don't you let her study?"
Before Li Shan could say anything, her mother, Old Lady Li, came out and said, "A little girl will belong to someone else's family when she gets married. What's the point of spending money to let her read so many books?
If you say you don't want to study, then you don't want to study. As a teacher, why are you coming to my house instead of teaching properly at school? Get out, get out, get out, and meddle in other people's business."
Old Lady Li wanted to push Shen Shuyu out. Shen Shuyu looked easy to bully, so Old Lady Li thought she could push him out with just one push. Unexpectedly, she had to use all her strength.
The person was still standing there motionless. Old Mrs. Li was dumbfounded. This teacher looked so delicate, how could she be heavier than a millstone?
Shen Shuyu was afraid that the old lady would push her and stretch herself, so she came back to blame her, "Lehua, come and help your grandma go back to the house to rest."
Shen Shuyu then hugged Mrs. Li's hand, and Li Lehua held her other hand. Before Mrs. Li could react to what was going on, Shen Shuyu had already carried her back into the house.
"Lehua, if you want to study, close your grandma's door and don't let her out. The teacher will talk to your parents."
Li Lehua locked her grandmother's room, and no matter how old lady Li called her, she refused to open it.
Li Shan didn't know what his daughter's teacher was doing at home, but he politely brought her into the house.
Li Lehua's mother was still in confinement after giving birth. When she heard that a teacher was coming to her house, she wanted to go out, but her son needed to breastfeed, so she didn't go out.
After a while, the child was fed and Shen Shuyu came in.
Li Lehua's mother knew the teacher's intention and said, "It must be Teacher Shen, right? I know Teacher Shen came to our house to persuade us to let Lehua go back to school.
But I guess you've heard about the situation at home from Lehua. Lehua's grandmother has the final say at home. Lehua's father and I have no say at home, and we don't have the money to let her go to school."
There is no tuition fee at school, but textbooks are required.
Shen Shuyu only asked one question, "Do you want your children to study?"
"Of course I do." Although we can't go to college now, everyone knows that studying is good for children.
They thought that the problem was easy to solve, so Shen Shuyu chatted with them in the room for half an hour. During that time, Old Mrs. Li kept yelling and cursing in the room, but Shen Shuyu turned a deaf ear to her.
When he came out, he told Li Lehua, "Lehua, go back to school tomorrow."
Li Lehua couldn't believe it, her eyes were full of light, "Teacher Shen, is it true? Can I really study?"
"can."
"I breastfeed her?"
"Your grandma will agree."
Shen Shuyu came out, and Li Shan stuffed two potatoes into Shen Shuyu's mouth. Shen Shuyu refused, saying, "Leave them for Lehua."
After being out for a while, she found that Gu Jiandong came with her, bringing white radish and the child.
"Gu Jiandong, didn't I tell you to stay at home? Why are you out?"
"The white radish insisted on coming out. I had no choice but to take it out for a walk."
Shen Shuyu didn't believe it at all. It was obvious that this man cared about her.
The two of them rode their bikes home, and Gu Jiandong asked her, "Can the child come to school?"
"You can come."
Gu Jiandong immediately praised, "My wife is really good."
Shen Shuyu pinched his waist and said, "There will be better things to come in the evening."
Shen Shuyu has recovered now. When she saw his face and figure, she began to have some ideas.
Gu Jiandong was even more greedy than her. His wife had started to invite him, and it would be unreasonable for him, a grown man, not to show some appreciation.
"Shu Yu, my son is hungry. Please feed him."
Shen Shuyu fed her son, and Gu Jiandong put his son in the next room and asked Bai Luobo to look after him.
He closed the door himself and said, "Shu Yu, I'm hungry too."
Shen Shuyu: "..."
Both of them had been enduring for a long time, and now it was not yet dark, but Shen Shuyu had already been carried to the kang.
Gu Jiandong was in charge today, and they were studying books while working.
Shen Shuyu didn't know how many times she changed her moves, but she kept cooperating.
The two of them were very compatible in this regard, and at the end of the exercise, they were sweating profusely and gasping for breath.
"Gu Jiandong, this won't work. Before, you always arrived from day to night."
A man can't say no. Stimulated by these words, Gu Jiandong worked with all his might.
Shen Shuyu wanted to slap herself in the face. There was nothing wrong with saying anything. Look how irritated the man was.
"Gu Jiandong, I'm tired. I want to sleep."
Gu Jiandong was not willing to let her go. "It's not dark yet. We can only go to bed after it gets dark."
Shen Shuyu was really exhausted. She didn't even have dinner and slept until dawn.
This morning, Shen Shuyu woke up on her own without Gu Jiandong calling her. She was woken by hunger.
I looked down at the marks on my body and realized that I had to wear a scarf today.
Fortunately, it's still cold now, so it's okay for her to wear a scarf.
After Shen Qiu returned home, Jiang Ziqiang came to ask Gu Jiandong every few days whether Shen Qiu had sent any letters and whether he was mentioned in the letters.
The answer was no. Jiang Ziqiang was silent for two days, then ran over to Gu Jiandong and said, "If Xiaoqiu sends a letter, mention me when you reply.
I will have a vacation next month. What do you think about me going to Shenjiaba Brigade then?"
Jiang Ziqiang felt that he couldn't just wait. Xiaoqiu was such a good girl, and he was in the army. What if she was deceived by someone else?
"You can go if you want, but I have to tell you in advance that Xiaoqiu is Shuyu's sister, and my biological sister. You have to be careful when interacting with her, and don't do anything that makes her uncomfortable. If you do, I'll be the first to beat you up."
