Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Pei the Big Bun (4)_1

"I can even make airplanes and cannons!" Pei Qin started to bamboozle Little Radish with a serious face.

Chang Yonglin blinked, "What’s an airplane and a cannon?"

"An airplane is like a kite, but it can carry people and fly in the sky!" Pei Qin explained to him.

"I don’t believe it!" Chang Yonglin was very sure of himself, "I have never seen anything without wings fly in the sky, no, even those with wings sometimes can’t fly. Chickens, ducks, and geese all have wings, and they can’t fly!"

Pei Qin laughed heartily.

Chang Yonglin pouted slightly and asked her again, "Didn’t you say you’re really good at calculations? Grandpa wants me to learn the abacus, but I just can’t get the hang of it. Could you teach me?"

"Er..." Pei Qin touched her chin, "Actually, I’m not that good with the abacus!" She was telling the truth.

Chang Yonglin was even more skeptical now, "You calculate so fast, you just don’t want to teach me! You made the Clearing Device’s abacus, you must know how to use it!"

"I really don’t!" Pei Qin assured him.

"You do know how!" Chang Yonglin still believed in himself.

"I’m really telling the truth," Pei Qin insisted.

"You liar! You do know how!" Chang Yonglin glared at her.

"Alright! If you say I know, then I know!" Pei Qin nodded.

Only then did Chang Yonglin smile, "Then will you teach me? Grandpa says if I don’t learn well, I can’t go out and play. I’ve been stuck at home for such a long time!"

Pei Qin looked up at the sky; she truly wasn’t great with the abacus!

Seeing Little Radish’s tender little face turn from hopeful to wronged and resentful, Pei Qin touched her ear, "What I’m good at is mental math, not the abacus!"

"Grandpa also told me to learn mental math, and that’s even harder!" Chang Yonglin, distressed, grabbed her arm, "Continue being my teacher! Teach me! I’ll give you tuition fees, you won’t teach me for nothing!"

The Changs were a business family, and all their children started learning the abacus and mental math from a young age. Being proficient in calculations was a must for steadily growing their fortune and avoiding issues with the accounts.

Although whether she taught one person or a group, her thoughts were similar: it was still teaching. But Pei Qin did not want to teach arithmetic to someone else, at least not for now. She suggested that Yonglin ask Old Master Chang to find a teacher for him, "...I only know a little. Besides, I still have to run my stall, roast peanuts, and take care of the land every day."

Chang Yonglin was very disappointed, "I don’t like those teachers with long beards!"

"Then let your grandpa find you one without a beard!" Pei Qin cajoled him.

"They say, ’A man without a beard is unreliable at work,’" Chang Yonglin said with a face full of grievance.

Pei Qin’s mouth twitched, "There must be some who are reliable at their work, just keep looking and you will find one!"

It wasn’t two days before Chang Yonglin found a teacher that satisfied him; it turned out to be no one other than Pei Qin herself.

"My grandpa finally agreed to let me out! As long as I master the abacus this year or get good at mental math. Will you keep being my teacher in the future? You can come to my house, or I can live at your place!" Chang Yonglin was very happy, as if he were let out for a breath of fresh air.

"There’s no space at my place!" Pei Qin’s face darkened, Chang Yonglin, a prestigious Young Master Chang, wouldn’t be asking her, a woman, to be his teacher without Landlord Chang’s instruction!

Seeing her suddenly look upset, Chang Yonglin pursed his lips slightly, blinked his eyes in a bit of fear, and stared straight at her.

Pei Qin turned and walked away. What was Landlord Chang thinking? Throwing his grandson to her? Did he think she was Confucius, capable of teaching a great disciple? Suddenly holding her in such high regard?

As she walked ahead, Chang Yonglin followed behind her. For every step she took, Chang Yonglin followed with two.

In the town, many people saw Young Master Chang from Landlord Chang’s house, pitifully following behind Pei Qin, looking like he had done something wrong, and they couldn’t help but find it curious. How dare Pei Qin give Young Master Chang the cold shoulder!?
