Chapter 177 Answer is the same
“Alright, we’ve got things cleared up. Si Mei is fine. I’ll go talk to that teacher tomorrow and explain things. But Si Mei, don’t do this kind of thing again. As the saying goes, ‘Silence makes one an accomplice,’ and you were even aiding and abetting the wicked!” Zhang Jianjun pointed out Qiao Si Mei’s mistake. “Also, this matter must be kept strictly confidential, understand?”
"I know!" Qiao Simei was very happy. Her military brother did not doubt her like her teacher did.
As Zhang Jianjun reached the door, he encountered Qiao Yicheng.
Zhang Jianjun doesn't climb over the wall much anymore. Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei have grown up, and it would be disrespectful for them to just casually climb over. Although Wei Shuying hasn't mentioned it, Zhang Jianjun needs to be more mindful of his behavior.
Zhang Jianjun is a truly upright gentleman!
Qiao Yicheng walked back with a dejected look on his face. He and Wen Ju'an had developed very well in the past two years. Just when Wen Ju'an was about to take the college entrance examination, a sudden change occurred. Wen Ju'an's mother, Wen Qingxue, was being transferred!
Wen Qingxue had already spoken to Qiao Yicheng and confessed that she had known for a long time that Qiao Yicheng and Wen Ju'an were getting close, but she felt that the two were not suitable for each other. Therefore, she hoped that after they left Yingtian Prefecture, Qiao Yicheng would stop contacting Wen Ju'an.
In fact, Wen Qingxue was not as unreasonable as portrayed in the story. For example, after discovering the intimate relationship between the two, she did not immediately stop them. Instead, after careful consideration and even secretly observing them for a long time, she concluded that she genuinely believed the two were not suitable for each other.
Wen Qingxue even thought that this was good for Qiao Yicheng! She could tell that Qiao Yicheng was a good kid.
The intention was good, but Wen Qingxue's desire to control was too strong and her methods were too extreme. Wen Ju'an was a rebellious teenager, and her stress reaction was particularly intense! The two argued and debated more than once. In addition, Wen Ju'an was very puzzled by her mother's behavior of abandoning her husband. Now, Wen Ju'an's eyes were filled with hatred when she looked at Wen Qingxue!
Qiao Yicheng felt like he had just broken up with his girlfriend!
He had long felt that he was not good enough for Wen Ju'an, and after being persuaded to leave by Wen Qingxue, Qiao Yicheng became even more self-conscious! He was completely immersed in a feeling of loss and could not extricate himself.
"Brother Yicheng! What's wrong?"
Qiao Yicheng had no intention of explaining to Zhang Jianjun, forcing a smile, "I'm fine!"
"Did he dump you, that guy surnamed Wen?"
"How did you know?" Qiao Yicheng asked incredulously.
Zhang Jianjun was just trying to bluff Qiao Yicheng, but he didn't expect Qiao Yicheng to confess so quickly. "I only heard that you tutor people, and the rest was just guessing!"
Qiao Yicheng naturally stopped doubting it. He had been taking tutoring for quite some time, which many people knew. And Zhang Jianjun's mind was different from that of a normal person, so it wasn't surprising that he could guess it.
Zhang Jianjun turned back to Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei, whose faces were full of curiosity, one by one, and took a few steps back with each of them in his arms. "Sanli, Simei, you two go back first! I'll go out and talk to Brother Yicheng!"
"Alright then!" Although the two were very eager to know about their older brother Qiao Yicheng's love life, they would still listen to Zhang Jianjun. Besides, Qiao Yicheng was a man of few words; if he didn't want to talk, he could go an entire night without uttering a single word. It was better to wait for Zhang Jianjun to relay the information.
"Come on, Yicheng, someone sent me some coffee, it's imported, come and try it!" Zhang Jianjun always used this as his reason for inviting people.
Qiao Yicheng was dragged away. He didn't want to go for coffee, but Zhang Jianjun was too strong for him to resist!
Zhang Jianjun was the only one at home. Wu Fenglan would stay at her eldest son Zhang Jianshe's place tonight. Her grandson had caught a cold, and Zhang Jianjun had already prescribed medicine, but Wu Fenglan was worried and wanted to stay for two nights to help the couple look after the child.
Zhang Jianjun poured hot water from the thermos and made Qiao Yicheng a cup of coffee. It tasted pretty good, even though Zhang Jianjun didn't like it.
Qiao Yicheng wanted to drink or smoke, but he hadn't learned how yet. He was afraid that Zhang Jianjun would laugh at him if he forced himself to smoke, so he took Zhang Jianjun's coffee, took a sip, and found it to be very delicious. It was indeed an imported product!
Imported goods were synonymous with quality and craftsmanship at that time! Before that, matches and nails were all imported goods, so many places still retained names like "foreign matches" and "foreign nails".
"Tell me about that Wen family girl!" Zhang Jianjun was actually very curious about how they got in touch again.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Yicheng recounted in detail to Zhang Jianjun what had happened after he met Wen Qinghua at his university. He was also eager to know Zhang Jianjun's opinion, even though Zhang Jianjun was a few years younger than him, Qiao Yicheng greatly admired him.
After you've had your fun, you have to offer some advice and comfort – that's what paying for it means! Zhang Jianjun is very reasonable!
“Wen Qinghua, I know him! He’s the youngest son of Principal Wen from your school!” Zhang Jianjun’s words surprised Qiao Yicheng.
"You know Teacher Wen too? Teacher Wen's father is Principal Wen?" Because Qiao Yicheng didn't attend teachers' college, he didn't know much about Wen Qinghua. Even the female student he taught for two years hadn't told him that her maternal grandfather was Principal Wen!
Zhang Jianjun smiled meaningfully, "I know him because of a rumor. It is said that when Wen Qinghua was a graduate student, he had an improper relationship with his professor's wife. His professor was furious and forced to stop his graduate studies after he had completed most of them. His professor took his professor's wife back to Zhejiang Province and vowed never to acknowledge him as his student again!"
"Impossible! Teacher Wen couldn't possibly be that kind of person!" Qiao Yicheng stood up angrily and loudly refuted Zhang Jianjun's words.
Zhang Jianjun wasn't angry. "I know you don't believe me. I've only heard about it. Only the people involved probably know the truth! However, I do know something about Principal Wen. His family suffered some unfair treatment in the past, right when the wind was blowing... In the end, the wind stopped, and Principal Wen was reinstated!"
"What do you mean by all this?" Qiao Yicheng felt that these things had nothing to do with him and didn't understand.
"Do you know what I find most puzzling about Principal Wen's family?" Zhang Jianjun didn't drink coffee, but instead brewed a pot of tea, poured himself a small cup, took a sip, and teased Qiao Yicheng.
Qiao Yicheng was indeed very curious and couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"
Zhang Jianjun revealed a satisfied expression, "It's Wen Qingxue! She's Wen Qinghua's older sister. She married the son of the Revolutionary Committee Director! And that happened after Principal Wen's wife jumped off the building!"
Qiao Yicheng remained silent. There was a lot of information to convey, and it was difficult for him to empathize or put himself in her shoes. He couldn't understand so many complicated emotional entanglements.
“I heard that after Principal Wen retired, he has been living in a sanatorium and doesn’t visit any of his three children’s homes. Coupled with what you’ve said, I feel that things here are not so simple, and your female student cannot easily understand them. Wen Qingxue’s strong desire to control her daughter must not be without reason.” Zhang Jianjun concluded.
Qiao Yicheng's chaotic mind was overwhelmed and about to crash.
After Qiao Yicheng had processed the information for a while, Zhang Jianjun spoke again, "I'm not telling you all this to make you give up on that female student, but just to help you understand the cause of the matter before drawing conclusions. However, if I were to judge whether you and that female student are suitable for each other, I would probably give the same answer as Wen Qingxue!"
