She always felt it was her own problem, that she was too stupid!

If you're bad at studying, ugly, and have a bad personality, you won't be liked by anyone!

Everyone else went to school in groups, but she was all alone, at most only daring to follow them from a distance!

No one dared to get too close, hiding behind the trees and secretly watching them play and joke around from afar, fantasizing that one day they could play with them too.

Little Yu Yuehui grew up slowly all by herself!

Xie Yan slowly calmed down and continued, "Was it Teacher Wang's idea to have the two classes sit together? Or was it because it was his class that they were seated together?"

Yu Yuehui nodded slightly.

Xie Yan gently stroked her back. "This is the behavior of a petty person. Didn't you just say that he's been a teacher for many years? Some people are like that. When they're flattered, they start to think of themselves as superiors, that they're always right, and that no one can embarrass them!"

"And your father and the village officials found a new teacher and even revoked his decision to put two of his classes together. For a despicable person like him, this is a slap in the face and a provocation. He can't do anything to your father, so he torments you!"

The reason why it's only targeting you is easy to understand. Your father is the brigade leader, the highest-ranking officer in the brigade, so naturally, he would assume that these decisions were your father's idea.

They might even conclude that your father did this for educational reasons, thus blocking your path to learning at its root and constantly suppressing you, making you fear learning.

Xie Yan grew angrier the more he thought about it. His hand, which was placed to the side, clenched into a fist without him realizing it, and his knuckles turned white. He really ruined Yu Yuehui!

Xie Yan's eyes gradually deepened. Given the old man's level of confidence, he certainly hadn't considered the possibility of retaliation. "Where is this Teacher Wang now?"

"In the city!"

"Hehehe! Very good!" Xie Yan chuckled sarcastically. There's practically no cost to harming people these days! But the city is even better!

Yu Yue sighed, "He has a promising son who passed the exam to become a worker and later married a woman from the city. His wife's family is very powerful."

He's been promoted from a factory worker to a factory director, and a few years ago he brought his wife and husband to the city!

Xie Yan laughed. Wasn't this like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy? He absolutely didn't believe that his father-in-law hadn't pulled some strings for him. If things went wrong in that direction, wouldn't they be able to find out?

I'm really enjoying how this is going to develop!

"Do you know what his father-in-law does?"

Yu Yue shook her head. "I don't know. I've only heard that they're very powerful! But nobody knows what they do?"

Xie Yan sighed. "Alas! This Teacher Wang is treating everyone else in Xiliu Village like fools! Only the unknown can instill greater fear. Even if someone notices what he's doing, they'll be wary of his powerful father-in-law and won't dare to make any move."

Yu Yuehui had stopped crying, but she still felt uneasy. She felt that everything that had just happened was like a dream, her own fantasy! She asked hesitantly, "Xie Yan, husband! Is it really like this? Is what you just said true?"

Xie Yan touched Yu Yuehui's head with heartache. Look at how badly the child has been damaged. Even in this state, she still can't believe it. He could only patiently tell her again and again that it's true, of course it's true! All of this is real!

Xie Yan put his arm around Yu Yuehui and said, "Wife, let's borrow Gu Bin's car tomorrow and go to the commune's scrap yard to look for junior high school books. I'll teach you when we get back, okay?"

Yu Yuehui shook her head. "The commune won't do. The commune's recycling station definitely won't have any books. Books are very precious here. For example, my brother's books are used not only by me, but also by Yuexue and my second brother. If someone has a book, several families will borrow it. Textbooks are quite expensive, costing two cents. No one would be willing to throw away their books. The recycling station won't have any textbooks."

Xie Yan said nonchalantly, "It's alright, I'll go to the city then. There are still books at the city's recycling stations. I'll teach you then. Maybe you're very talented and will become a college student someday! Then we'll give him a good slap in the face!"

Anyway, the high school textbooks have been found. At the time, I thought that after the college entrance examination was reinstated, there would definitely be people who wanted these books, and maybe I could even earn some extra money. If I teach Yu Yuehui well now, maybe she will really get into university?

College students! College students are highly sought after these days. Will I be able to relax and do nothing then?

Just thinking about it makes Xie Yan incredibly excited!

He secretly vowed to himself that he would teach Yu Yuehui well and make him a college student!

As for himself, Xie Yan didn't want to take the exam again. He had heard that universities these days were incredibly competitive, and having been thoroughly tested in his previous life, he didn't want to experience that again.

Knowledge should be left for those who need it more! Someone like him, a lazy bum, doesn't need it.

Yu Yuehui's initially low spirits were somewhat ignited by Xie Yan's words, but reality quickly brought them down again. How could such a good thing happen to her? Helplessly, she said, "Don't try to fool me. I definitely don't have the ability to get into university. Besides, universities have all been suspended now, unless it's a worker-peasant-soldier university!"

"That's even more impossible. The spots at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University are extremely valuable, and it's unlikely that our brigade will get one!"

Xie Yan patted her arm. "Don't underestimate yourself. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in me. I'll teach you, and you'll definitely feel the charm of knowledge. If you ever have the chance in the future, I'm telling you, getting into university will be no problem at all!"

As for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, Xie Yan hadn't considered it. Few good teachers remained; what could they possibly teach? Thankfully, he had to wait for the college entrance exam! To get into a proper university!

Although Yu Yuehui felt that this was impossible, it didn't stop her from being happy to hear it! Just thinking about it made her feel happy!

The aftereffects of the all-night conversation were that the next day, Yu Yuehui not only had dark circles under her eyes, but her eyes were also swollen from crying.

Like a clumsy giant panda, Xie Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her. He suppressed his laughter, peeled an egg for her, and placed it in a clean white cloth. "Here, put this on your eyes to reduce the swelling! It'll be fine in a little while! Don't worry, the swelling will definitely be gone by the time you go out!"

Yu Yue looked helplessly at Xie Yan across from her, who was struggling to suppress her laughter. "Just laugh if you want to. Your face is all red from holding it in!"

Xie Yan immediately broke down in laughter, unable to straighten up. It's no wonder, Yu Yuehui's image is really hilarious.

After laughing, Xie Yan clutched his stomach, looked at the table, and said in as calm a tone as possible, "I wasn't laughing at you! It's just... it's just that the weather is too hot! And also... oh! I suddenly thought of something funny! I'm definitely laughing at you!"
