Chapter 101 Learning to Chat from Teacher Gu
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Seeing that she had brought up Jiang Feiyan again, Shen Zhao frowned:
“I’ve already said I have no feelings for her, and we’re just ordinary friends. Please don’t drag an outsider into this.”
"Oh, look, this is my good son."
The stubborn Wang Xiayun refused to listen to any of this and sneered repeatedly:
"You're already speaking up for this person before they've even married into the family. You're really filial!"
Seeing that his mother was starting to argue and make a fuss again, Shen Zhao didn't want to say anything more to her.
He simply stood up and said, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. I have things to do tonight, so I'll head out first."
Seeing her son's cold words, Wang Xiayun instantly became furious and said:
"If you leave this yard today, never acknowledge me as your mother again!"
Shen Zhao paused as he was about to lift his foot.
But it only lasted a few seconds before he strode away.
Upon seeing this, Wang Xiayun angrily burst into a tirade:
"Shen Zhao, you unfilial son! You've abandoned your own mother for a woman! Just you wait and see!!"

On the other side, a small house at the foot of the mountain.
The courtyard was filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Jiang Feiyan held an ugly doll in her hand, smiling as she teased Little Yellow.
A person and a dog were having a great time playing in the yard.
These days, because he has to go to work in town, Xiao Huang spends his days at Teacher Gu's place.
So every time Jiang Feiyan comes back, the little guy gets very excited and keeps sticking to his owner and jumping around.
Jiang Feiyan, carrying pastries, waved and said, "Let's go, Xiao Huang, let's go to Teacher Gu's place, it's time to study!"
"Woof woof woof~" Little Yellow responded happily and immediately ran off.
Huang Yuan was picking vegetables in the front yard when she heard the little guy's cries from afar, and her face lit up with joy.
She turned and called into the house, "Old Gu, Jiang Yatou is here!"
Not long after, a refined-looking middle-aged man dressed in gray clothes came out of the house.
With a smile in his eyes, Gu Hong looked at the figure walking towards him in the distance and couldn't help but step forward and say, "Girl, you're here."
"Teacher Gu," Jiang Feiyan greeted with a smile, then turned to Huang Yuan in the courtyard and said, "Aunt Huang, I brought some pastries I just bought in town, come and have a taste!"
Huang Yuan walked over with a helpless expression: "You silly girl, why are you wasting money buying these things again?"
"Oh, it doesn't cost much." Jiang Feiyan smiled and picked up a piece of pastry, stuffing it into her mouth: "How is it? Isn't it especially delicious?"
Huang Yuan felt a sweet warmth in her heart as the girl fed her.
"It's delicious, but it's too expensive. Don't spend money like that next time. You need to save your money; you have a long life ahead of you."
"Yes, I know." Jiang Feiyan nodded quickly, but in her heart she was thinking about how much supplies and money she had stored in her space, enough to last several lifetimes.
At this moment, Gu Hong spoke up: "Feiyan, have you finished the drawings I asked you to draw a couple of days ago?"
"It's finished, teacher, please take a look." Jiang Feiyan quickly took out a few sheets of paper from her cloth bag and handed them to him.
Gu Hong took it and sat down on the small stool to examine it carefully.
Huang Yuan smiled and said, "Let's have dinner here tonight. Some of the vegetable seeds you gave me are growing very well and are almost ready to eat."
It's early December now, the perfect time for radishes and cabbages to grow, and the yard is lush and green.
Jiang Feiyan shook her head: "I ate in town this evening, so I don't need to."
Although she would occasionally bring something over to improve the meals of her two elders during this time, she rarely ate here.
After all, they didn't have much food, so she had to save some for them.
"Okay." Huang Yuan naturally knew what Jiang Feiyan was thinking, and felt both warm and touched.
She knew that Jiang was actually a very sensitive and sentimental girl.
She repays anyone who treats her well tenfold.
She had heard Jiang Yatou briefly talk about her family situation before.
The thought of all the grievances and hardships this child had endured at home broke her heart.
If she had such a charming and obedient daughter as Jiang Yatou, she would cherish her like a precious jewel and never let her suffer the slightest harm.
But it's not too late now. She doesn't have any children, so it's good to treat Jiang Yatou as her daughter.
If only the family hadn't suffered such a misfortune, then all the valuables in the house could have been left to her as dowry.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. She's barely able to take care of herself right now, how can she think about anything else? Sigh...
Huang Yuan: "If you come over tomorrow night, don't eat beforehand. Just eat here. I'll prepare the dishes in advance. It would be a waste if you didn't eat them."
Jiang Feiyan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Huang Yuan added, "Oh, by the way, you still have quite a bit of cotton left from the few days ago. I made you a cotton vest; you can try it on later."
All she can do now is what she can for Jiang Yatou.
Hearing this, Jiang Feiyan said somewhat helplessly:
“Aunt Huang, that cotton was for you and Teacher Gu to make cotton-padded clothes. You made me a vest, so isn’t that not enough?”
"It's enough, how could it not be enough!" Huang Yuan said with a smile. "We're both getting on in years, it's okay for us to wear thinner clothes, otherwise it would be difficult for us to work."
It's very cold here. You young people need to dress warmly, otherwise you'll suffer when you get old.
Jiang Feiyan: ......
Something doesn't sound right. People shouldn't wear more clothes as they get older.
"I understand." What else can I do but accept the love from my elders?
Gu Hong had finished looking at the drawings by then.
He looked up at Jiang Feiyan with a relieved and happy expression.
This girl is a real talent for design; she's only been learning from him for a little over a month, and her drawing skills are already quite good.
If we study for a few more years, wouldn't we be able to master all the knowledge?
Thinking of this, Gu Hong became very excited and quickly said:
"Jiang girl, starting tonight, I'm going to increase your study intensity, so it might be a bit harder from now on."
Jiang Feiyan nodded earnestly: "Okay, Teacher Gu, please come, I can handle it."
She has already set her future goals, and learning more is exactly what she wants.
"Woof!" Little Yellow squatted to the side, tilted its head, and barked with its big, round eyes wide open.
Its appearance seemed to say, "I want to learn too, I want to improve together with my master!"
But just a few seconds later, when Aunt Huang brought out a bowl of soup, the little guy immediately ran over to get some.
Jiang Feiyan: ...This little thing is such a glutton!
