Chapter 301: Chapter 301: The dream of getting rich through radishes is just a beginning (Monthly ticket 800+ updated)

Suizi learned about the full extent of the situation from the homeroom teacher.

The clueless straight girl in her home, Jiaojiao, never knew someone liked her this whole time.

She was even gearing up for a fight.

The most pitiful thing is that Jiaojiao, misunderstanding the love letter as a challenge to a fight, was walked to and from school by the homeroom teacher for several consecutive days.

This sort of "VIP kid" status isn’t something everyone can bear with.

No wonder Jiaojiao looked so down these past few days.

She probably had the teacher lecturing her about her studies all the way home, and then, she had to be lectured by Suizi once more when she got home.

Even straight-A students can’t bear this successive onslaught from the homeroom teacher and Suizi, "double whammy" care with no loopholes at all!!

The homeroom teacher informed Suizi of another piece of news, the student’s parent has been causing trouble on more than one occasion.

Last time, they sought out the homeroom teacher and requested her child’s seat be changed.

The homeroom teacher moved her child to a seat slightly more forward; still, they weren’t satisfied, insisting on being placed in the first row.

But her son is tall and big, so sitting in the first row would just block the other kids. Of course, the homeroom teacher didn’t agree with this.

As a result, this parent yelled and accused the homeroom teacher in tears, right in front of all the teachers in the office, questioning whether they despised her and why they were pressuring her!

"I was dumbfounded at the time. After she cried and yelled, I didn’t even get a chance to comfort her, can you guess what she did?"

Flushed with frustration, the homeroom teacher was deeply traumatized by this event.

"Did she... say she’s from the countryside, that things haven’t been easy for her?"

Considering the parent’s display at her home, Suizi was reminded of some real hair-raising tactics.

"No, she told me she was from the countryside as soon as she walked in. That’s not what surprised me; after shouting at me, she covered her face and said, ’Are you trying to make me kneel down for you?’, and then, bang! she knelt down."

In all his years of teaching, the homeroom teacher had never encountered such a person before.

He was completely flabbergasted.

"You wouldn’t believe it, right when she fell to her knees, the principal came in—"

If it wasn’t for the other teachers in the office who could vouch for him, the homeroom teacher wouldn’t be able to exonerate himself even if he threw himself into the river.

Those who didn’t witness the incident would’ve probably thought the homeroom teacher was bullying the child’s parent.

Suizi and the homeroom teacher exchanged looks of mutual understanding and sympathy, each pitying the other for a moment.

Looking at that obstinate parent, Suizi knew that she couldn’t expect any useful parenting from them.

Initially, she wanted to ask the teacher to help influence the boy a bit, but the teacher was also scared by the parents. It seemed like the teacher could no longer be relied upon either.

Suizi hesitated, considering whether she should help adjust the boy’s mood. Yes – the parent was a mess, but the child was innocent.

"That child’s parent isn’t someone we normal people can handle. I’ve already suggested to the Principal to change his class, but it seems that teachers from the other classes are also afraid of accepting him."

Suizi sighed, some people think they are geniuses with an IQ above 250, but in reality, all they do is stupid stuff.

This parent is practically ruining her child’s future—if they continue to cause such havoc, the child would soon be isolated at school.

"Teacher Zhou, if it’s convenient for you, let me have a chat with the boy. I’ve self-learned some educational psychology, which might help the child."

The homeroom teacher was taken aback at the news.

"Director Xiaochen, you are still pregnant. That child’s parent is a real hassle, best not to stir up any trouble—why not wait until after you’ve given birth?"

"It’s okay. He’s just a child, so I can handle it."

The homeroom teacher was worried about the child’s lack of discipline, so when Suizi volunteered to help, he was more than happy and called the child over.

Suizi had a chat with him in the office. The other teachers, who were listening in on the conversation, were nodding in agreement.

Her approach was very professional, and it could be used as a template to deal with issues such as puppy love.

After their chat, the boy was so touched by Suizi that his eyes welled up with tears.

Looking at Suizi, he pledged that he would study hard. His little eyes were filled with the light of honesty that one would expect from the younger generation carrying the socialist cause.

Just as Suizi had predicted earlier, prepubescent children’s fondness for the opposite sex isn’t as complex as adults think it is.

He just thinks Jiaojiao is great, and he wants to play with her. The love letter he wrote was a rough imitation of the letter his father wrote to Auntie Zhang next door.

Auntie Zhang...

These words held such a wealth of information that all the teachers in the office couldn’t help but burst into laughter when they were spoken.

It even had implications for this news story!!!

Only Suizi could maintain a calm expression, seriously communicating with the child for the rest of the time.

"Director Xiaochen, you truly are patient." After the child returned to his class, the homeroom teacher gave Suizi a thumbs-up.

Mostly, the fact that Director Xiaochen—who, despite appearing so soft—could stand up to the pressure of an eccentric parent, without fearing the consequences, was a commendable feat.

"Our small gestures may change a child’s life. In the future, please put a bit of effort to separate the two children’s seats."

For primary school students, seats far apart are akin to long-distance relationships—it would be difficult to like each other even if they wanted to.

Amidst the praise from the teachers, Suizi maintained her composure, revealing a patient, role-model-like attitude. But in her heart, she thought otherwise.

It was only after marrying Yu Jingting, a formidable character, that she developed such confidence.

In her previous life, when she stood alone, she was weak, helpless, and pitiful—she definitely wouldn’t dare provoke such troublesome parents.

Now, with Yu Jingting by her side, she knew that bullies fear those even tougher than themselves. Thus, she dared to do whatever was within her power.

This is what it means to cultivate personal virtue, manage a family, administer a state, and pacify the world!

After peacefully handling the Jiaojiao situation, Suizi returned to her office and remembered that she had to call her mother.

She called Chen Lijun, who was already in on the plan with Yu Jingting, and proficiently relayed the characteristics of the gold bars.

Chen Lijun said that because this was an inheritance from their ancestors, she should preserve it properly and consider this as preserving a legacy.

Though Suizi found this a bit strange, she couldn’t find anything wrong with it.

Assuming her mother was just playing a joke, she brushed the incident aside.

For these three gold bars, Yu Jingting also wanted to melt them into jewelry.

It took much urging from Suizi to dissuade him from such a short-sighted act.

The value of these old items could never be determined per gram.

If they were auctioned in the future, the price would at least be three times higher than the market price of gold.

Suizi thought that the two bright, shiny turnips were hinting at the three gold bars as her lucky charm, but little did she know that the gold bars represented only the beginning.

A week after receiving the gold bars, Suizi received another letter. This time, it was mailed from a different city.

When she opened the letter, it contained another treasure map.

This time, Suizi recognized the spot marked on the map.

Isn’t this... the outer wall of the night school?

Suizi didn’t understand why her mother was engaging her in this treasure hunt, but it felt wrong not to dig up any treasure that was up for grabs. So, she contacted Yu Jingting. It was too crowded during the day, so they waited till the night school was dismissed and everyone had left.

With a spade in their sneaky hands, the couple arrived at the spot marked near the outer wall. As soon as they stuck the spade into the ground, a flashlight beam darted toward them.

"Who’s there! Hands up!"
