Of course, Teacher Tan abided by the school’s rules, but many students’ parents came to her, hoping that she could use her spare time to tutor the students and improve their grades.
Seeing that the students were about to take the college entrance examination, Teacher Tan was also anxious, so she nodded in agreement. Of course, she would give the students tuition for free and would not charge a single cent. Sometimes, when the students came home, Ms. Tan would even prepare fruits and snacks for them and spend her own money to order exercises for the students.
In the past, the students would come to his house for extra lessons every Sunday afternoon. Jin Nian also knew about this.
“No, I’m not teaching anymore.” Tan Siyun lowered her head, looking a little sad.
“What’s wrong?” Jin Nian asked. “Mom, did something happen?”
“Siyun, just tell Niannian. Don’t worry her.” Jin Chengwen said.
Tan Siyun took a deep breath. “Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that someone reported me for tutoring students outside, so the school suspended me temporarily.”
Her tone was very relaxed, but her eyes revealed sadness.
Jin Nian had always known that Teacher Tan was a person who did not fight for anything. With her qualifications and ability, she could have competed for the position of vice principal a long time ago, but she had always chosen to be the class teacher.
Everyone in the family knew that Teacher Tan loved teaching very much. She treated the students in her class as her own children. Seeing that the college entrance examination was coming next year, she was suddenly suspended. She was worried that the children would be distracted by her.
She could not earn money, but if she was not allowed to continue being a teacher, it would definitely be a huge blow to her.
Jin Nian immediately grabbed Tan Siyun’s hand and comforted her softly. “It’ll be okay. You’re tutoring the students for free. You’re using your own break time. The school will definitely reinstate you after they investigate.”
“I heard that the school is going to strictly investigate the matter of supplementary classes outside the school. Even if I didn’t receive money, I might still be expelled.” Tan Siyun’s face was filled with loneliness.
“How could this be? Not only did you not receive any money for tutoring your child, but you also spent half a month’s salary every month. Why should they fire you?!” Jin Nian was furious. She knew how much Teacher Tan cared about this job.
When they were young, everyone had learned a metaphor. It said that teachers were like candles. They burned themselves to illuminate others. Perhaps Teacher Tan was not that great, but she had always been a very good teacher. She would help the students in her class who had family difficulties.
Seeing that Jin Nian was unhappy, Lu An quickly came forward to comfort her. “Don’t be anxious. The results haven’t come out yet. There’s still room for negotiation.”
The school probably wanted to make an example out of this kind of unhealthy practice of giving students extra lessons after class, but Teacher Tan was innocent.
“Yes,” Jin Nian agreed. “If they fire you, I’ll go and argue with them. Why are they bullying people like this?”
“Dad, Mom, I’ll make a call. You guys chat first.” Lu An stood up, went to the kitchen to make a call, and returned to the living room.
Everyone thought that Lu An had gone to deal with work matters. However, as soon as Lu An sat down, he said, “The matter has been resolved. Actually, the province has issued a notice to severely crack down on tuition. They want to use mother-in-law as an example to others. I’ve already explained it to them clearly. Soon, mother-in-law will be able to return to school for classes.”
Jin Nian and her family looked at Lu An in surprise. Then, Jin Nian spoke first, “It’s settled just like that?”
“It wasn’t a big deal. Mother-in-law, you should be relieved now, right?” Lu An nodded.
The Lu family had been doing business in Hong Kong for a hundred years and had connections all over the country. It was not difficult to find two people they knew to help. Moreover, there was nothing wrong with Tan Siyun’s tutoring. It was just that someone wanted to make use of her.
Tan Siyun’s phone rang. She quickly answered the call and smiled.” Okay, 1 understand.”
After hanging up the phone, Tan Siyun said excitedly, “Aiyo! Lu An, this matter has really been resolved. The school’s leaders have already informed me that I can go back to class on Monday.”
Tan Siyun was extremely happy. At the same time, her impression of Lu An became even better. She treated him like her own son.
When someone reported Tan Siyun, she was immediately suspended. No matter how she tried to explain, the school leaders didn’t listen. She didn’t expect Lu An to settle it so easily with a phone call.
No wonder so many people pursued wealth and power. These things were really useful!
“Lu An, thank you. You don’t know that Siyun hasn’t been eating or sleeping well these past two days.” Jin Changwen said.
“Dad, why are you thanking me? It’s just a small matter. If you encounter such a thing in the future, you must tell Niannian and me. Don’t shoulder it yourself.” Lu An had handsome features and a smile on his face..
