Liu Rufeng blurted out, "After deducting the cost, we made a total of 1,862 taels!"

Everyone at the table was stunned, not only because he had earned nearly two thousand taels in just three days, but also because of Liu Rufeng's extraordinary memory, which allowed him to remember even the smallest fraction of the amount so clearly.

Tang Qiqi said with an exaggerated expression, "Mr. Liu, you are amazing! How can you remember so clearly?"

“Yes, Mr. Liu, how are you so amazing!” the other children echoed in surprise.

Liu Rufeng was a little embarrassed by the praise and said shyly, "My memory has always been slightly better than others since I was a child."

Tang Qiqi added fuel to the fire, saying, "This isn't just better, it's practically photographic memory!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Rufeng said, "I can usually remember a book after reading it only once!"

Tang Qiqi instantly lost interest; this was blatant showing off!

Xu Lanzhi finally spoke up, saying, "With such talent, how can Mr. Liu be content to be just a schoolteacher!"

Yindi wanted to speak up for him, but Liu Rufeng gave her a look to stop her and answered himself: "To be honest, Madam Xu, although I am well-educated, I know that my personality is not suitable for officialdom. I am a rather stubborn person and I can't learn how to be shrewd and opportunistic in officialdom."

However, if my family insists, I'm willing to make a change and try to get a minor official position.

Xu Lanzhi then asked, "And who else is in your family?"

Liu Rufeng replied, “When I was young, my mother and I depended on each other for survival. When I was fourteen, my mother passed away, and I was left all alone! Before I opened the private school, I was always helped by the old lady of the Sun family. She had some connection with my mother.”

Xu Lanzhi was taken aback. This Mr. Liu was also a pitiful person. Her eyes suddenly softened.

Xu Lanzhi said with some emotion, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, for reminding you of unpleasant things. But, if that's the case, who are the family members you just mentioned?"

Liu Rufeng remained polite and said, "Madam Xu, there's no need to worry. I've already come to accept this matter calmly!"

As for the family I mentioned earlier, they are the people Ru Feng is willing to spend her life with.

As he spoke, he looked at Yindi with tender eyes, and Yindi hurriedly lowered her head.

Everyone suddenly realized that Mr. Liu and his sister were up to something, so they all got into position to watch the drama unfold.

Xu Lanzhi, however, did not grant their request. She did not respond, but instead said to Liu Rufeng, "Mr. Liu, you have worked hard these past few days. Please eat more."

Everyone waited for a long time, but Xu Lanzhi didn't ask anything. They felt it was inappropriate to say something, and the dishes on the table suddenly lost their appeal.

Everyone wanted to wait until after dinner to hear Xu Lanzhi continue asking about Liu Rufeng, but after dinner, Xu Lanzhi sent everyone away, saying that she wanted to talk to Liu Rufeng alone.

Yindi looked worried and wanted to stay, but Xu Lanzhi smiled gently and said, "I only need to say a few words to Mr. Liu, so please be patient."

This was the first time her mother had spoken to her like usual since they had argued. Yindi remembered the outrageous things she had said, lowered her head in shame, and stopped insisting.

Xu Lanzhi and Liu Rufeng talked for a long time, while Yindi paced anxiously outside.

Tang Qiqi said, "Second sister, calm down. Mother only said a few words to Mr. Liu. The way you're acting makes it seem like Mr. Liu is a lamb to the slaughter!"

Yindi said anxiously, "You know Mr. Liu. He's eloquent in class, but usually he's very taciturn. And with Mother's attitude, I'm afraid he'll be so scared that he won't be able to speak."

Even Jiedi, who was just waiting to watch the drama unfold, couldn't stand it anymore. She said, "Second sister, do you have to be so dramatic? Mother is such a gentle person. Is your Mr. Liu made of paper? How could he be scared by Mother?"

Baogen disagreed: "Auntie is naturally the kindest person, but that's not necessarily true now. Haven't you seen those old hens in the henhouse? They usually seem harmless, but try catching their chicks. I don't think Mr. Liu is having an easy time right now."

Hearing Baogen say this, Yindi felt even more uneasy. She really wanted to rush in and save Liu Rufeng from her predicament.

Tang Qiqi pulled her aside and said, "Isn't what Brother Baogen said clear enough? Mother is like a mother hen protecting her chicks. Since she's willing to talk to Mr. Liu, she wants to check him out for you and see if he's someone you can trust. Just be patient and wait, and soon you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel."

Finally, the door opened, and Liu Rufeng and Xu Lanzhi walked out together.

Yindi and the others rushed forward, eager to ask her a whole host of questions. Xu Lanzhi, however, said casually, "Mr. Liu, it's getting late. I'll have Baogen prepare a carriage to take you home!"

Liu Rufeng quickly said, "Thank you very much, Madam Xu, for coming!"

Xu Lanzhi smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Liu, please don't forget what you said today!"

Liu Rufeng bowed respectfully and said, "Madam, rest assured, Rufeng will certainly keep his word!"

Yindi was so anxious she was almost in tears. What were these two talking about? She couldn't understand a word they were saying, and with so many people around, she couldn't very well ask.

Knowing her sister was anxious, Jiedi asked, "Mother, what did you talk about with Mr. Liu? Did you agree to them being together?"

Xu Lanzhi only said one sentence: "Meddlesome, hurry up and take your sisters to rest!"

Jiedi stuck out her tongue and said, "Mother, really! How can I sleep with people in suspense like this!"

Yindi looked at Xu Lanzhi with a mournful expression, then at Liu Rufeng. Both of them had indifferent expressions, and there was not a trace of anything amiss.

She was extremely anxious, but too embarrassed to ask.

Seeing that Baogen had hitched up the carriage, Xu Lanzhi said to Yindi, "Second daughter, Mr. Liu has done a lot of things for you these past few days. Why don't you and Baogen go and see him off together?"

Yindi was still wondering how their conversation had gone, and for a moment she didn't realize what Guo Xulanzhi meant. It was Tang Qiqi who reminded her from the side: "Don't think about it. If there are any problems, Mr. Wenliu will go in a while. Mother has already been so straightforward."

Baogen chimed in, "Sister Yindi, hurry up and get in the car. I'll be coming back alone without anyone to keep me company."

Yindi was then helped into the car by Tang Qiqi. Hearing Baogen's words, Jiedi also stepped forward to get in: "Baogen, I'm going too! I can't sleep right now!"

Baogen kept giving her meaningful glances, but Jiedi didn't understand at all. Just as she was about to get on the bus, Tang Qiqi pulled her hard and said, "Third sister, why are you getting involved? Didn't Mother tell you to take us to bed? I'm so sleepy."

Jiedi, oblivious to the situation, said, "Haven't you been sleeping with your mother these past few nights? Go find your mother. I want to go with Baogen."
