Chapter 526: Chapter 526: A Woman’s Place is in the Home with Her Husband and Children

The teachers all sat in the back row, some writing lesson plans and others watching the children.

After a while, a gray-haired old teacher walked in.

"Hello, everyone. I am a math teacher from the Experimental Middle School. Before we start the lesson, I will conduct a simple survey test that includes just ten questions. You’ll need to hand in your papers twenty minutes later."

The teacher passed the papers down.

Yue Qingqing and Qu Ruorui were still desk mates, and Zhuang Lan sat behind them.

"The teacher on stage is very impressive; he was originally an exceptional teacher at Lingguang No.1 Middle School, retired later, and has returned to his hometown, Zhuancheng. The principal of Experimental Middle School rehired him with a high salary due to his reputation for having led several students to first place in national math competitions."

Yue Qingqing was genuinely surprised this time. "How do you know everything?"

Zhuang Lan sat up straight, assuming the air of a master of the world.

Qu Ruorui whispered, "Then you must also know about the grudge between Teacher Duan and that Mr. Qian, right?"

Zhuang Lan spread his hands. "Do I look like the kind of person who would gossip about such things?"

Yue Qingqing: "..."

The students who got their papers soon lost the mood for idle chatter.

At a glance, Yue Qingqing found the problems much harder than she had anticipated.

The questions involved various knowledge points, but the difficulty level was that of additional questions seen in major examinations.

A cursory look revealed 2-3 traps within the problems; it was clear that the person who set the test wanted to examine a broad scope of knowledge.

Yue Qingqing took out her pen and began working out the problems on scratch paper.

The classroom was quiet for a while, with only the sound of pen tips rustling on paper.

Duan Wenzhen was writing lesson plans with her head down, but her palms were sweaty.

The words of Qian Zheng and his mother echoed in her ears.

"Why should a woman go out and show her face? If everyone thinks like you, who will take care of the children?"

"Our Zheng is excellent. If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be another."

"During the matchmaking, Zheng took a liking to you at first glance, and we also think you’re not a bad choice, but why does a girl need to study so much? Isn’t it better to just stay home and take care of your husband and children?"

While the other party spoke kindly, every word seemed to insinuate that she was unappreciative.

At that time, Duan Wenzhen was still in teacher’s college, aiming to become a glorious teacher for the people.

Yet, her parents were rushing her into matchmaking as if a woman without a family was not a complete woman.

To fulfill her parents’ wishes, Duan Wenzhen had to accept their arrangement and meet Qian Zheng.

Thinking back, everything that followed felt like a nightmare.

Because the Qian family wanted her to quietly remain at home and take care of her family, Duan Wenzhen was locked at home by her parents, who even wanted her to quit school.

Previously, Duan Wenzhen had thought her parents were just a bit old-fashioned, but she had never imagined they could be so utterly backward.

Later, Duan Wenzhen could no longer bear it and almost broke off relations with her family.

She worked while studying, trying to scrape together living expenses.

Luckily, the teacher’s college did not charge tuition fees; otherwise, Duan Wenzhen would have struggled to survive.

But Qian Zheng came to the school to harass her, annoying Duan Wenzhen immensely.

It was her roommates who came to her defense, driving Qian Zheng out.

As Qian Zheng left, he said disdainfully, "The state has nurtured the ambitions of women like you. You’ll understand the consequences later."

Latterly, Duan Wenzhen graduated on schedule and was assigned to Zhuancheng No. 1 Middle School.

Because she looked youthful, she always wore a pair of glasses to appear more authoritative.

Fortunately, the kids were all very good and hardworking.

She had great expectations for this batch of students.

She never expected to encounter Qian Zheng here.

"Time’s up, hand in your papers."

The teacher on the podium clapped his hands.

While some kids were still scribbling furiously, the teacher went straight to them and pulled the papers from their hands.

"Hand in all your papers!"

"The few teachers in the back, help me grade these. Let’s try to get the results out within ten minutes."
