229 Convinced
“Mr. Du, you don’t have to blame yourself. If I was afraid of these things, I wouldn’t have chosen you to be the teacher for my babies. I’ll have to trouble you to look after the carriage while I go in to check on the situation.”
Mo Ruyue simply appeased Du Zhongheng and quickly walked into the village.
When she reached the entrance of the private school, she saw Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu waiting outside.
The couple was equally surprised to see Mo Ruyue, but before they could greet him, they saw Da Bao coming out with a few babies.
“Mother? why are you here?”
Da Bao was the first to notice Mo Ruyue. He blurted out some strange words, making the other babies beside him notice her presence at the same time.
“Mother!”
“Mother is back!”
“Mother!”
The babies who had been obediently following Da Bao suddenly became restless. One by one, they shouted in surprise and ran toward Mo Ruyue.
“Be good, Mother is here to see how you did in the exam.”
Mo Ruyue picked up Tang Tang and didn’t neglect the other babies.
“Mother, we thought you had forgotten that today is the day of our exams. But Grandmother Liu said that Mother would not forget and would definitely come to see us. She was right!”
San Bao jumped around Mo Ruyue excitedly. He had always been active. Now that he was a little more excited, he seemed to be out of control.
“Yes, I just came back from the county. How did you do? Are you confident?”
Mo Ruyue was still very concerned about this question. after all, the babies studied hard day and night so that they wouldn’t embarrass her in today’s exam.
She didn’t care if she would be embarrassed or not. she only hoped that her babies’ hard work would be rewarded.
“Mother, we are confident. Sir asked questions at the beginning, and even Tang Tang answered fluently. Sir was stunned listening to it!”
San Bao had just said one sentence when Si Bao interrupted her.
“Mother, when we took the exam, Teacher gave the papers according to age and said that he had prepared them early in the morning. In the end, Eldest Brother finished it in less than an hour. Second Brother was a step slower, but it wasn’t too far off. It was only after Sir added a few more questions at the last minute that he came out with us.”
“Yes, Mother has confidence in you. Mother has seen your homework articles before, and the papers set by the private school teachers should not be too difficult.”
Mo Ruyue didn’t mention that she had gone back and forth several times to find them. She only gently gave all kinds of responses to the babies. She didn’t even notice that the smile on her face had never disappeared.
“Lady Qin, we meet again.”
A man walked over and took the initiative to greet Mo Ruyue
“Long time no see, Mr. Lin.”
Mo Ruyue also exchanged pleasantries with him. This thin man was the teacher of this private school. His name was Lin Zhiyuan.
“Previously, you said that your children could keep up with the progress of the course, but I didn’t believe it. Today, after seeing their test results, I realized that I was indeed short-sighted.”
As soon as Lin Zhiyuan walked over, he immediately cupped his hands and apologized to Mo Ruyue. Although his attitude was not considered good at the beginning, he could be considered a true gentleman with an open attitude.
“Mr. Lin is also responsible for the baby’s studies. I can still distinguish this.”
Mo Ruyue’s indifferent attitude made Lin Zhiyuan admire her even more, especially when he knew that she was not related to the five babies by blood. He felt that it was even more commendable that she could still put in so much effort for the children.
It was said that stepmothers were vicious, but he saw Lady Qin as a very good stepmother.
“By the way, Lady Qin, I see that your children are all talented and intelligent. They are the best students I’ve seen in my life. They can go directly to the academy in the city to study. It’s really a waste of time here. I’m afraid it will delay them.”
Lin Zhiyuan made a suggestion to Mo Ruyue.
When an ordinary person saw a good seedling, they would want to keep it by their side. In the future, when the disciple became famous, the reputation of the teacher would also rise with the tide.
Lin Zhiyuan’s suggestion was entirely from the children’s point of view, which showed that he was indeed a good man who was indifferent to fame and fortune and was truly concerned about the children.
“Mr. Lin, to be honest, even if they want to study at a proper academy in the city, they’ll have to spend half a year in a private school. I was worried that the time was too short and it would cause you trouble.
After this conversation, Mo Ruyue had more respect for Lin Zhiyuan. When she spoke to him, her tone became much more respectful, and it was not the usual indifferent and distant tone.
“How could that be? It’s a great fortune for me to be able to teach such a student. Let alone half a year, even if it’s half a day, I’ll gladly accept it, not to mention the word “trouble.””
He really liked the five babies. Even though Tang Tang was a girl, he did not have any prejudice against her. he just felt that it was rare for other children to be so sensible.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Zhiyuan asked again, “Lady Qin, please forgive me for being presumptuous. you want to let the children spend half a year in my private school, but is it because of their previous teacher, Du Zhongheng?”
Mo Ruyue was slightly stunned. Then, she remembered that in order to quash the rumors between her and Du Zhongheng, she had fought two lawsuits and sent her mother-in-law and the person who spread the rumors to jail. It was inevitable that some words would reach Lin Zhiyuan’s ears. It was not surprising that he knew that Du Zhongheng was her baby’s private tutor.
It was a pity that Du Zhongheng had stayed at the village entrance to look after the carriage in order to avoid suspicion and could not follow the students who had come to welcome him.
“That’s right, that’s part of the reason, but I hope that they can get used to the feeling of learning and growing up with their classmates. Now, their classmates are their own brothers and sisters, so there’s still a difference between them and real classmates.”
“I don’t want them to miss any of the experiences in their lives. even if they miss it, I hope there’s still a chance to make up for it. ”
Mo Ruyue admitted her thoughts frankly. Her words were very simple, but it moved those who heard it, Especially Da Bao and Er Bao. The two of them were relatively older and more mature. their views on some things were even no worse than that of an adult.
After hearing their mother’s words, the two couldn’t help but feel a little excited. However, they couldn’t let themselves go easily in front of their mother and their future teacher, so they deeply engraved every word they had just heard in their minds.
No matter how her mother had mistreated them in the past, everything she said and did now was for their sake. It was enough to offset all her past mistakes and let them only remember her kindness and benefits.
“Lady Qin, you’re the most open-minded mother I’ve ever seen. You’ve seen so much, so you naturally have a big heart and tolerance. I’m really ashamed of myself!”
Lin Zhiyuan was completely convinced by now.
He was a person who claimed to be well-read and had a deep ravine in his heart. When it came to looking at problems, he might not even have Mo Ruyue’s insight and decisiveness. Moreover, she was very accurate in recognizing people and firmly chose Du Zhongheng to be the babies’ private tutor.
