Lin Wan didnât know which Little Star was talking about, and asked in confusion.
"Last time when I went to Third Grandpaâs place, there was an aunt there who looked a bit like my aunt, but she was taller than my aunt. The aunt had a little brother with her. He was very cute, and my Third Grandpa said he was his child."
Lin Wan listened, surprised, and covered her mouth. She really didnât know Chen Haichang had such a story. "Whatâs going on?"
Lin Wan felt particularly curious now, wishing she could call Chen Haichang the next second and ask what exactly was happening. An unexpected child, or some surrogacy drama?
How did it suddenly seem like Chen Haichang was acting in a TV drama?
But she held it in, choosing to vent with Han Yi in the evening. Han Yi laughed and said if Chen Haichang managed to settle things with that woman, heâd surely bring them over to meet them. Lin Wan thought the same; suddenly having such a big child, heâd certainly come and show off. Thatâs his style.
Not able to go over to Chen Haichangâs place, several children were quite disappointed. But Lin Wan told them that in the autumn, their uncleâs oranges would ripen, and she could print some flyers for them to attract visitors for picking, and then let their uncle pay them wages.
Everyone agreed. Yangyang and Little Star were still worried and called their uncle specially, discussing things in advance.
Several parents were particularly supportive of this, since the kids had interest, as long as it didnât affect their studies, letting them go ahead.
Little Star only found out about the holiday happenings upon returning; she originally thought Teacher Jia would still tutor her, but Mom told her Teacher Jia wasnât coming. Actually, this holiday, some families who had asked Teacher Jia for tutoring even specially inquired with Lin Wan. Lin Wan didnât want to make too big a deal, only saying it had nothing to do with the situation. Her daughter just happened to go traveling with friends.
But despite these words, many were suspicious, closely observing. Finally, they felt Teacher Jia indeed had some character issues, and several familiesâ summer classes ended with a direct halt to tutoring.
This resulted in Teacher Jia suddenly losing a lot of income. She blamed Lin Wan entirely for this.
Being a teacher, she cared about her reputation, so she deliberately intercepted Lin Wan on her way to the factory that day. Coincidentally, Lin Yuan was also in Lin Wanâs car, preparing to visit the nearby military unit, because Brother Junzi called yesterday saying Saozi was pregnant but couldnât eat and even fainted last night.
Although she saw a doctor, Brother Junzi was still worried and called Lin Wan, asking her elder cousin to visit.
Both of them were not young anymore, finally having a child, the tension was understood, so they particularly went to find her elder cousin early in the morning, dragging her along to check.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Teacher Jia on the way, blocking their path. From afar, they saw Teacher Jiaâs aggressive demeanor.
Her cousin was aware of the situation and, upon seeing it, frowned and told Lin Wan, "Xiao Wan, I think we shouldnât avoid it today, just get out and hit her. See if she dares to flaunt."
"Sis, watch me. You donât need to get out today, just watch." Lin Wan had long wanted to teach this woman a lesson, and today she happened to cross paths, so she wouldnât hold back.
Lin Wan parked the car by the roadside, then slowly got out. Lin Yuan anxiously watched from the car, holding onto the door, afraid something would happen to Lin Wan and wanting to help.
Teacher Jia had already been waiting on this side for nearly an hour, already angry inside, and now this wait made her even more impatient.
As soon as Lin Wan got out, she aggressively pointed at her and said, "Lin Wan, whatâs your intent? I only called your husband to discuss your daughterâs situation, and you act so petty, going to my partner to badmouth me. Youâre really something, no wonder your husband is so scared of you. With your kind of tigress, what man wouldnât be scared?"
Lin Wan chuckled twice and said, "Teacher Jia, youâve got it wrong, havenât you? Tsk tsk, look at you now, what difference is there with a tigress? You say youâre a teacher, but how can you be so shameless? All those years of education wasted; are you a pig? Might as well have eaten your own brain. Smart thing for you would be to stay low-profile; if you continue to cause scenes, itâll just embarrass yourself. And you might not last here for much longer because of your antics. Look, thereâs not many looking for you for tutoring now, right?"
"Isnât that because of you? If you hadnât spread rumors, would those parents not send their kids for tutoring?"
"Oh, you really got it wrong, it wasnât me who said it. When people asked, I only said it was a personal family reason."
"Then why did you find my partner? What did you even say to him?"
"Heh, your words are funny. You can find my partner, but I canât find yours? For me, itâs quite normal. However you talk with my partner, I talk with yours. I just donât want the child tutored anymore. I originally made it clear with you. But you didnât listen, so I had to take a roundabout way to personally tell you. Couldnât find you, so I had to speak with your partner, right?"
Right after Lin Wan said this, Teacher Jia burst out, calling her a vixen, and immediately reached over. And with a slap, she hit Lin Wan. This slap was intentional on Lin Wanâs part. When they left home today, many family members were also heading out. They were all taking buses, riding bikes.
Just as Teacher Jia hit her, a bus passed by, and a few bikers, including some sisters-in-law, saw Teacher Jia hit Lin Wan and were astonished.
Even the bus driving past stopped, and getting off were people from their large courtyard.
Before people arrived, Lin Wan took the opportunity to give her two hefty slaps. "Teacher Jia, I respect you as a teacher, but you donât do what a teacher should. Unjustifiably blocking our car, getting out and slapping me indiscriminately, todayâs matter of you hitting me, I will report it above."
