Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Being a Teacher

As soon as Xiu Min began to speak, the atmosphere immediately became harmonious, and Li Yue also followed, inviting everyone to have dinner.

Only when everyone started heading to the dining room did Li Shiping quietly say to Xiu Min, "Mom, I’m sorry, Dongcheng and I have upset dad again."

Xiu Min looked at her daughter with pity, tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, and softly consoled, "Your dad and Xiaoyue are just like that with their tempers. When you get back, talk to Dongcheng about it, tell him not to take it to heart."

Despite her dissatisfaction with her son-in-law, she was more concerned about her daughter, and for her sake, she could only try to ease the relation between the three men.

"It’s not dad and Xiaoyue’s fault, it’s Dongcheng who has the bad temper." Wan Dongcheng may not appreciate how much her parents’ house has helped, but she was well aware.

"As long as you understand," Xiu Min sighed, "Shiping, actually your dad and Xiaoyue did accept Dongcheng at first. It’s just that, because Dongcheng is not motivated, they became very angry. You know how your dad is, he really dislikes those who are unmotivated and lazy."

If Wan Dongcheng had been willing to work hard, why would their family treat him like this?

She and her son had been secretly subsidizing her daughter all along, her husband knew, but he also implicitly agreed to it, wasn’t it all just to hope the young couple could have a good life?

If they had not accepted him, they wouldn’t have included a house as part of their daughter’s dowry.

"I know dad is upset with Dongcheng because he hasn’t been working," Li Shiping said frankly, revealing another reason for her visit, "Mom, Dongcheng has changed now. He’s willing to work properly. It’s just that he doesn’t have many connections in the city. Could you help me to find out if there’s any work suitable for him?"

She didn’t want to trouble her parents, but apart from having a university degree, Wan Dongcheng was unskilled at everything else, and she had no idea what kind of job would suit him.

"He’s willing to work now?" Hearing the news, Xiu Min was very happy, even though she was willing to subsidize her daughter, that was not a long-term solution. Wan Dongcheng’s willingness to work was the best outcome.

"Yes," Li Shiping quickly nodded, "I talked to him yesterday. He was just too eager for quick success before, always wanting to give me a good life, but without any connections, which led him to become somewhat dejected."

Regardless of whether it was true or false, being willing to work was a good start, and Xiu Min felt relieved and her face also showed a hint of a smile.

"Then have him get ready, take a teacher certification test, and become a teacher? Work as a teacher for a couple of years, temper his character. Later, when Xiaoyue’s business grows, I’ll talk to Xiaoyue about helping him out. Don’t think that Xiaoyue usually has a bad temper, but he really does care for you."

Li Shiping of course knew that Li Yue cared for her, otherwise he wouldn’t have been supporting her all this time.

Now that she had a lead on a job, she felt more at ease, "I’ll talk to Dongcheng about this when I get back."

"Come on, let’s go have dinner!" Xiu Min said as she took the child in her arms, "You go eat first, I’ll feed her."

"Mom, you go eat, I can feed her myself."

While walking towards the dining room with the child, Xiu Min kept saying, "You get tired taking care of the child alone every day, I can’t help you much usually, so I might as well help you feed her this time, don’t argue with me, just go eat!"

She might not say it out loud, but she had long noticed that Wan Dongcheng’s machismo meant he seldom carried the child, which is why the child wasn’t close to him. Seeing her daughter struggle alone with the child pained her.
