Chapter 1690: Returning to University as a Teacher

The Sheng Family naturally could not let Litian's mentor leave just like that.

The whole family enthusiastically urged them to stay, insisting they at least stay for a meal to show their appreciation.

"No need, if I go to the school, I'll eat Litian out of house and home, eating up every bit of his salary."

The mentor came and went in a hurry; Litian's job was settled, and while Lu Feifei wore a smile, she still felt a bit uneasy inside.

From now on, the two of them would have to start a long-distance relationship, living worlds apart.

She felt uneasy inside, but she didn't show the slightest bit of it on her face.

Litian's mother was right; he truly wasn't suited for a small place. Small places don't value rules but rather personal connections, and there are many people who play petty tricks and schemes—and Litian's mind simply couldn't handle that.

Forget it, let it be. Even if it's a long-distance relationship and Litian dumps her, she would accept it; she couldn't let him suffer any more grievances. He had already sacrificed too much for her.

The Sheng Family was very happy, except for Litian.

He was somewhat hesitant, and his mother noticed it.

Why he had gone to Phoenix Town in the first place—others might have forgotten, but Shi Youxuan would never forget.

His mother walked over and said to Litian, "We are already working on it; in a few days, we will have Feifei transferred back as well."

"Really?"

Litian was pleasantly surprised.

"Nonsense, would I lie to you? Of course it's true."

Shi Youxuan asked Lu Feifei, "Which school do you want to go to? Is the Experimental Affiliated Middle School okay? If you aren't satisfied, I'll think of another way."

Lu Feifei:...

How could that not be okay?

It was more than okay.

The Experimental Affiliated Middle School was very close to the Physical Education University, a famous and excellent school with good students, high-quality parents, and excellent benefits. It was especially easy to achieve results there; being able to go there as a teacher was something one could only dream of.

However...

She probably didn't have the qualifications.

Besides not having the qualifications, she also felt quite embarrassed.

It wasn't as if the Sheng Family hadn't offered to help her transfer back before.

But at that time, she had been moved by the students and their parents and didn't want to come back at all; she couldn't bear to leave those pitiful yet adorable children.

Her simple feelings back then weren't wrong, and she didn't think they were wrong now, but as her understanding grew, many other things were added to the mix.

Their kindness was just too much.

Consequently, that kindness was gradually taken for granted, as if it should be given endlessly.

Simplicity is plainness.

And plainness often means not considering things comprehensively.

Those simple-minded parents really did treat them like living Buddhas; that's what they said, and that's what they did, praising her goodness everywhere and responding to every request!

And so, it attracted hoodlums and parasites.

And when they were being maligned, these same simple people, some because of tangled kinship ties, played deaf and dumb, watching as they were wronged and bullied.

Others simply spoke with the same tongue as those "local queens," having once praised their goodness to everyone, but now sparing no effort to disparage them.

Lu Feifei's heart had been hurt, and she didn't feel much attachment to that place anymore.

She regretted it; she regretted being hot-headed back then and not seizing the opportunity to transfer away.

But she didn't say these things to Litian, nor had she ever imagined she could transfer away and even pick the place—it felt like a dream.

She stood stunned for a long time, unable to say a word, because she was too shocked and had forgotten how.

Shi Youxuan explained, "I only made the contact these past two days, so I didn't tell you in advance. Next time there is such a matter, I will definitely ask for your opinion first."

She felt that she had been a bit reckless in doing this.

The matter concerned someone else's job, which was a major life event; one's own major life events should be decided by oneself, and one shouldn't interfere with others under the guise of "doing it for your own good."

She hadn't even consulted them before directly handling the jobs for her son and future daughter-in-law.

She had been too angry at the time to think about it, but now she realized she had overstepped her authority.

Lu Feifei hadn't processed it just now, and with her mixed emotions, she hadn't spoken.

Now that her future mother-in-law said this, she knew there was a misunderstanding and hurriedly said, "Auntie, I was just happy; I thought it wasn't real, like a dream. You are doing this for my own good, how could I have any objections?"

"Thank you, thank you for considering everything so thoroughly for me..."

She couldn't continue, choking up.

From childhood to now, how long had it been since someone had thought of her so wholeheartedly?

Her mother could do it before, but later her mother had her own family, and her feelings for her had faded quite a bit.

She had always felt like a rootless duckweed, but from now on, she would have a home and a pillar of support.

Everyone was happy.

Lu Feifei's transfer order came down very quickly, and before the two of them started at their new units, they went back one more time.

Things must have a beginning and an end; no matter what one does, one cannot have a head without a tail.

The two of them were quite similar in this regard, so they went back to properly hand over their work.

Especially Lu Feifei; she was a well-known core teacher at the school. Although she hadn't worked there for very long, she had accumulated quite a bit of teaching experience, and her notes alone made a thick stack.

There were also the students in her class; she knew the temperament and personality of every student, their family conditions, and what kind of difficulties they had like the back of her hand.

Now that she was leaving, she handed these things over to the next homeroom teacher.

These were things she treasured like jewels, yet they were treated with disdain.

The teacher taking over was surnamed Li, a woman in her fifties who had also transferred from elsewhere, but she had stayed in Phoenix Town for decades and was considered half a local.

Teacher Li tossed the notes aside and said to her, "Teacher Lu, you are still young; you are just too earnest in doing things."

"But what's the use of you being so earnest? Have you gained any benefit at all? How did those people treat you and Teacher Sheng? Tsk tsk, I get angry just watching it..."

She first appeared "filled with righteous indignation," saying many things to champion the cause of justice.

The gist was that the people in this place were too excessive, and that poor mountains and treacherous rivers produce unruly people.

Good people and talented people are suppressed here, just like her; she has worked hard and without complaint as a teacher here for so many years, only recently becoming a regular staff member, whereas before she was only a privately-hired teacher...

Earning little, doing much, a bad fate!

Teacher Li kept harping on about her own hardships, but in reality, she was envious and jealous of Lu Feifei.

She felt that Lu Feifei had a good fate, marrying into a wealthy family and easily basking in reflected glory; hadn't she been transferred away after only being here for a few days?

This person usually envied Lu Feifei and had often spoken ill of her in front of colleagues and leaders; although she wasn't the instigator of this rumor, she had contributed quite a bit of effort to it.

Lu Feifei knew this clearly, but she didn't expose her.

There was no need.

Silently listening to her vent, Feifei thought that if she endured it for a moment it would pass, but she wouldn't stop, getting more and more worked up as she spoke.

She even requested that Lu Feifei put in a good word with the new school to have her transferred there as well!

"I don't have that much ability; you should still focus your heart on the students." Lu Feifei turned and left.

She took her notes with her while she was at it.

It was useless to give them to her, as she wouldn't read them anyway; they were all her own hard work and couldn't be wasted.
