Chapter 1689: If You Can't Make It, Just Come Back

~8 min read 1,500 words

But in a place like this, one cannot be too serious, nor is there any way to pursue the matter.

The place is too small; everyone's relationships are intertwined like tangled roots, with relatives upon relatives, involving too much.

He knows full well that Litian was wronged, and he also knows clearly who is behind the mischief, but he cannot say it; his own whole family lives locally, and if he speaks out, how could they continue to live here?

He said to Litian: "I have no objection to you resigning; this place is indeed not suitable for you, but you cannot hand the resignation letter to me; I cannot make the decision."

Whether it is approved or not is a matter for the Education Bureau.

The leaders of the Education Bureau did not approve it, and they even earnestly urged him to endure it for a while.

Saying things like, what young person doesn't suffer grievances?

If everyone who suffered grievances resigned, the country's construction would have to regress, one must trust the organization... blah blah blah, a whole lot of nonsense.

Litian could not argue back; he could not stay at the school, and he could not resign—is this trying to force him onto a dead end?

Lu Feifei saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, but she had no way to help, so she could only call Shi Youxuan, hoping she could step in again to help Litian.

Sheng Family.

Shi Youxuan had a gloomy face and kept pacing back and forth in the living room; her husband sat on the sofa, his expression also looking unpleasant.

Yueyue was precocious; although she did not know what had happened, seeing that her parents were both unhappy, she would not court disaster and pulled Shi Yuan away to hide far off!

"These people are too shameless; if they have the ability, come at me! Using such shameless methods to deal with Litian, shameless!" Shi Youxuan was furious.

Sheng Hanyu said: "Forget it, complaining has no meaning; let Litian come back."

"Come back, let him come back immediately; my son cannot be bullied by others at will."

Shi Youxuan felt sad and regretful; she had also underestimated the evil of human nature, which allowed Litian to be plotted against.

The more a place is driven by human sentiment, the harder it is to talk about rules.

Actually, no one was wrong in this matter; the mistake was that Litian should not have gone to Phoenix Town.

For the first time, the couple could not keep their composure and decided to let Litian come home, starting to take action immediately.

Shi Youxuan called Litian: "I bought plane tickets for you and Feifei for this evening; you two should head to the airport now."

Litian: "Mom, I'm fine..."

Shi Youxuan: "I am not fine; there is a very important matter at home waiting for you to return to discuss, it is not convenient to talk on the phone." After saying this, she hung up.

Litian was half-believing and half-doubting, so he asked his girlfriend: "Did you tell my mom about our situation here again?"

"No."

Lu Feifei denied it.

She had already reached an agreement with her future mother-in-law; she could not admit it, no matter how he asked, she could not admit it.

Litian was puzzled: "Since you didn't say anything, why would my mom suddenly ask us to go back when everything is fine?"

Feifei avoided his gaze and said: "Perhaps there is an important matter; you don't even ask."

Thus, he believed that there really was a matter, a very important matter!

"Pack your things, we are leaving now."

Lu Feifei: "I'm going too?"

Litian: "It's not going, it's returning; my mom said for us to go back together."

In order to make "there is a matter at home" look more like the truth, Lu Feifei went back with him; when the plane landed, it was the early hours of the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and the whole Sheng Family had come to pick them up.

"You finally came back." Zichen was the first to go over, punched him, and then the brothers hugged each other.

Litian wanted to ask why everyone was there.

But he was not given a chance to speak; Zirui and Zihan also rushed over one after another, surrounding him as they walked out.

Zihan: "Second brother, I missed you so much; you don't know how we lived in the days without you, it was not interesting at all; usually you don't talk much and seem to have a weak presence, but when you aren't by our side, we don't have a backbone..."

"The person who misses you most is Mom; look, she even has white hair!"

As soon as the words fell, he was kicked.

Zihan quickly apologized again: "I was wrong, I was wrong; Dad, I won't talk nonsense again..."

Sheng Hanyu glared fiercely at his youngest son and warned: "Remember, the only person who can speak ill of your mother is me; no one else can. If you slander your mother one more time, I will kick you to death."

The title of "wife-pampering maniac" was not earned in vain.

Zihan apologized immediately; despite his good attitude after the triple apology, he was still severely warned.

The other two brothers teased him; Litian was as usual the one who spoke the least among the brothers, but such a scene of chatting and laughing was so intimate; it was a long-lost warmth.

After arriving home, his grandparents held Litian's hands, one on each side, expressing their heartache with nagging: "My heavens, you've gotten dark again; you were already dark to begin with, and now you've been tanned even darker; I wouldn't be able to find you even in the dark..."

"Come back, don't go far away ever again; nowhere is as good as home, and your family will never bully you!"

The old man was cowardly when he was young, but he became straightforward in his old age, specializing in telling the hard truth.

This sentence hit Litian's soft spot exactly.

That's right, all the storms were given by the outside world, and home is a warm harbor.

He was not stupid; from the moment he got off the plane and saw his family, he could tell that there was no matter at home at all; it was his mother who didn't want to watch him being bullied by outsiders, so she deliberately made up a lie just to get him to come home.

After eating the reunion dinner, Shi Youxuan laid her cards on the table; that's right, that's exactly how it was.

Since he was back, she wouldn't let him go back; a man standing tall and upright, running so far away to be bullied in all sorts of ways?

Why?

At home, there are elders above and children below, all of whom can support him.

If you are at a dead end, just come home and inherit the family property; what does it matter what you do?

This bit of "humblebragging" left Litian unable to laugh or cry, but it was indeed heartening to hear.

But Litian expressed that he had hands and feet and could not just eat for free at home; he was even less of a material for doing business and still wanted to be a teacher.

Before his words had finished, the doorbell rang; a guest had come to the house.

The guest was Litian's mentor, who had taken good care of him when he was in university.

Seeing his teacher, Litian was surprised and delighted: "Why have you come?"

"Why have I come? It's all for you." The mentor glared at him, saying with a sour expression.

After speaking, he handed him a file folder: "Here, I owe you this."

The mentor was a forthright person and liked to refer to himself as "Laozi."

Since he was a "Laozi," he had to act like one; when there was trouble, he had to step up!

The mentor was truly a stand-up guy; upon hearing about this matter, he immediately began working on it for Litian, and by the time Litian had just arrived home, he had already cleared away all the obstacles.

"You come back to work tomorrow, still as a teaching assistant, and you will continue your graduate studies as normal. The time you were absent will count as you having gone to experience life in a poverty-stricken mountain area. If you dare to be late, I'll beat you to death!" the mentor announced fiercely.

Litian still hadn't quite reacted: "What?"

"What? You've gone stupid, haven't you!"

The mentor was satisfied; although this student of his was a bit slow, he still had many merits, and he had finally managed to get him back.

"I'm leaving."

Having said what needed to be said, he turned and left.
