Chapter 14 Dagger and Chain
At this time, Zhou Qinghe began to drive people away, "You can leave now. Don't disturb Ningning's studies in the future. Uncle Wang, please show us out."
Uncle Wang immediately revealed a simple and honest smile, "Second Young Master, Second Young Miss, please."
Zhou Qingyan: “…”
Zhou Yaya: “….”
After both of them left, the room finally returned to silence.
Zhou Qinghe comforted Wen Ning, saying, "I knew they wouldn't be able to find a good teacher for you. I've already contacted several retired teachers to come and tutor you, but they're all coming from out of province, so they might not arrive until the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Qinghe first contacted his previous private teachers.
But unfortunately, some of them have already started working in companies, some have gone abroad to study, and some have returned to their hometowns.
It was impossible to get it done in a short time, so I used my connections to contact an experienced retired teacher.
However, this did delay the process for a few days.
Wen Ning said sincerely, "Thank you, brother."
"Why don't you say thank you to your brother? Just focus on studying hard during this period and get into a good university..."
After saying this, I felt that what I said was inappropriate.
Although Wen Ning has always been smart, he has been wasting three years in the sanatorium. It is indeed difficult for him to make a big breakthrough with only three months of study.
However, the best thing for Wen Ning would be to get into university, go to study in another city, and stay away from the cage of the Zhou family.
So, Zhou Qinghe rubbed her hair and said with a smile, "Just study hard, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying this, when Zhou Qinghe was about to leave, Wen Ning suddenly called out to him, "Brother."
Zhou Qinghe turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Ning bit his lip and said, "Please buy these herbs for me. I'll make you a foot bath. Soaking your feet every night will be good for your legs."
When Wen Ning was a child, she was a child bride in the mountains. Her family was the village's barefoot doctor. She followed the hostess to the mountains to look for herbs since she was a child, so she knew a lot about pharmacology.
When she first returned to the Zhou family, Lin Wanyi was in poor health and Zhou Qingyan had a fractured left leg, and she helped with their treatment.
Zhou Qinghe smiled gently, "No, you don't need to worry about my leg. Just study hard."
Wen Ning smiled gently, "It's okay. I can't study all the time. Making medicine bags can help me relax and improve my learning efficiency."
Zhou Qinghe asked worriedly, "Really?"
Wen Ning nodded affirmatively, "Really."
Zhou Qinghe also relaxed and asked Wen Ning to write down the herbs so that he could buy them when he had time.
After saying this, Wen Ning bit his lip again and said, "Oh, second brother, I need a dagger and a chain. They're needed to make a medicine bag."
Can a dagger and a chain be used to make a medical kit?
Daggers are used to cut herbs, and chains are used to tie medicine bags?
Zhou Qinghe frowned slightly, "Ningning, I can buy the things for you, but you have to tell me the real purpose."
Real use...
These days, she couldn't sleep every night. As soon as she closed her eyes, all the tortures she had experienced in the sanatorium would appear before her eyes.
She was very afraid that people from the sanatorium would suddenly rush into her room and take her back to the sanatorium again.
There was a patient in the past who, even though he had been discharged from the hospital, fled across several cities to a very far place.
But just because of the parents' words of disobedience, the sanatorium sent people across thousands of miles to capture the child and put him on the electric shock platform, making his life worse than death.
She was so scared that she wanted a dagger and a chain to give herself a little more sense of security.
But she couldn't say these things.
So, after blinking twice quickly, he said with a guilty conscience, "Zhou Yaya and the others always come to disturb me while I'm studying. I want to lock the door with a chain so they can't get in."
Zhou Qinghe raised his eyebrows slightly, "Okay, but Ningning, remember, no matter what happens, you still have your brother, don't do anything stupid."
Wen Ning's heart softened, "I know, brother."
The Shen family at this time.
After Shen Xufeng hung up the phone, he was furious. He picked up the car keys and rushed out, intending to find Wen Ning and warn her not to bully Yaya again!
But just as he moved, the elegant and beautiful woman beside him called out to him, "Xu Feng, what's the fuss about?"
Shen Xufeng shook his head, "Nothing, Yaya is crying, I'll go comfort her."
When the elegant lady heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Maybe it was the natural hostility between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or maybe it was because of her personality, but she didn't like Zhou Yaya, who cried all day long and clung to men like a dodder.
But since Shen Xufeng liked it, she neither objected nor supported it, but just let him do it.
"The school just announced that you're on the list of exchange students from Country A. Your cousin just came back from Country A, so ask him for advice. Remember, be humble."
Speaking of this cousin.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Shen Xufeng’s eyes.
Although my mother said that my cousin came to City A to recuperate because he was sick, judging from the aura he exuded, he didn't look sick at all.
I heard that the Gu family in the capital is competing for the position of head of the family. I guess this timid cousin got scared and sneaked here to hide.
Besides, everyone knows that the second generation of rich people go abroad to spend money to gild themselves, and how many of them have real talents and knowledge!
Even so, my mother still praises my cousin all day long, asking him to study more and respect him more. How can he be worthy of that?
Thinking of this, Shen Xufeng suddenly came up with an idea to kill two birds with one stone.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the gate of a courtyard.
Across the small bridge and flowing water, I saw the figure sitting by the window. He had a strong aura, was noble and cold, and seemed to have the temperament of a natural superior, which made people shudder.
Suppressing the little emotion in his heart, Shen Xufeng walked up to him and respectfully called him uncle.
The man hummed calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Um." Shen Xufeng struggled with his words. "A friend of mine is clamoring to take the college entrance exam right after being discharged from the hospital. She's in urgent need of a tutor. I heard from her mother that you've taken relevant courses abroad, so I'd like you to help her with the lessons."
The man raised his eyes slightly and uttered a few words coldly through his thin lips, "Wen Ning, your ex-fiancée."
Originally, Shen Xufeng's proposal was considered a happy event for the Shen family, but no one celebrated. Instead, everyone was gossiping about whether Wen Ning, who had just been discharged from the hospital, would become a mistress again and snatch Shen Xufeng away.
A few days ago, Shen Xufeng's mother also came to talk to him about this matter, and her words were full of admiration and regret for Wen Ning.
Therefore, when he heard Shen Xufeng talk about it, he immediately thought of her.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xufeng immediately jumped up and down, "She is a mistress, not my fiancée."
In an instant, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.
The man's voice deepened, carrying immense authority. "To speak harshly to a girl who once pursued you passionately, is this your upbringing?"
"No, no, she keeps pestering me and bullying my fiancée. I'm about to go abroad, and I'm afraid she'll bully Yaya while I'm away, so, so..."
"Is your fiancée mentally retarded or physically disabled and needs extra care?"
