Chapter 442 Adopted Son
"This is a very common medicine that promotes digestion." Chen Zhu paused before speaking these things with some difficulty.
Upon hearing all this, Old Lady Wang widened her eyes, staggered back several steps, her expression full of disbelief.
"It's obvious that every time I eat it, I feel refreshed. How can it be fake?"
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that his rebuttal was now lacking in confidence.
Chen Zhuyi could only sigh helplessly and look at the people in front of him: "This is the pitiful thing about being uneducated. You don't even know that you have been deceived, and you still think that others are doing it for your own good."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but as soon as she said it, it was like a loud slap in the face of Old Lady Wang. She stood there in shock and surprise, her body shaking.
"Nonsense, you are all talking nonsense!" Old Mrs. Wang choked and retorted loudly.
If her husband ran out to save her life and unfortunately died, she could still comfort herself.
However, the current situation is that she and her husband are completely trapped in this lie.
The two of them were like fools, having been deceived for so long, and only now are there kind people willing to give her a little explanation.
"There's no need for me to lie to you about these little things. If it's truly a good medicine, then everyone should have a copy. You've been taking it for so many years, haven't you ever thought about introducing it to others?"
Seeing his shocked and lost face, Chen Zhu took the initiative to ask, with a hint of worry and doubt.
People who sell medicine like this should, logically, be working hard to catch big fish with a long line.
But apart from Old Mrs. Wang, there should be no one else who takes this medicine.
"She used to take the medicine secretly. We knew her personality well, so naturally no one asked her. Even if she wanted to sell it to us, there was no way for her to do so."
Teacher Liu next to him rolled his eyes in annoyance and pointed out the matter sharply.
Knowing that others don't like to pry into their privacy, everyone in the village is a respectable person, so of course they won't ask any further questions.
In the final analysis, it was Old Lady Wang who harmed herself.
"Alright, hurry up and organize the textbooks and gather all the students. Even in this situation, we must hurry up and attend the class. You all see clearly, this old lady in front of you is your lesson."
Principal Liu also took the opportunity to preach to the students.
But at this moment, his preaching was not annoying at all. In fact, some students nodded heavily with deep feeling.
None of them wants to be deceived just because they can't read, and they are deceived for so many years!
"Wasn't my husband's death in vain?" Old Mrs. Wang finally realized this, her voice choking. "But my daughter brought this medicine to me specially, saying it would be good for my health."
Her eyes were full of confusion, and she looked at Chen Zhuyi eagerly, hoping to get an answer from her.
"After this incident subsides, we will try to find a way to investigate for you and find out what exactly happened."
Chen Zhu sighed softly and had to consider Old Lady Wang at this moment.
At this time, inferior and fake drugs are rampant. If we can take this opportunity to suppress the related trends in the country, perhaps the future of medicine will be brighter.
The anxious day passed, and the children were still very enthusiastic about Shen Zhuyi. After all, they were in the mountains and there was no need to run to other places. With Chen Zhuyi leading the children, they also briefly identified the herbs nearby.
Although you may not be able to remember everything, as long as you remember a little bit, you won’t panic when you are in the wild.
"Mushrooms will appear after the rain. For things like this... I don't think I need to teach you how to identify them. Children are quite smart."
Chen Zhuyi did not forget to give a few compliments, and the children around him put in all their strength and answered crisply, almost shouting until their throats were broken.
This active support made Chen Zhu smile even more happily. She passed over them and slowly looked at Liu Xiaoen who was sitting in the corner.
As Principal Liu's adopted son, the little guy is so smart and should have a better future.
Although the teachers in the school have been replaced, Liu Xiaoen's talent seems to have never been discovered.
Or maybe some people know about it, but for various reasons they dare not say it out loud.
"Principal, have you thought about Xiaoen's future?" While everyone was eating, Chen Zhu walked to Principal Liu and asked casually.
Such a smart child should have a bigger stage to show his light and heat.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Actually... I'm also nervous when facing such a smart child."
Looking at the little ones huddled together, with only Liu Xiaoen sitting alone nearby, Principal Liu sighed hesitantly, and finally gave Chen Zhuyi a bitter smile, his eyes full of confusion.
She is not a particularly smart person, but she is lucky. She completed her studies step by step and became the principal here by chance.
Education on the island is not that valued.
As one of the first people to arrive here, Principal Liu found ways to buy the textbooks bit by bit.
Under such circumstances, fate played a big joke on her. God sent a genius to her side. Although he was younger than other children, he knew more than others.
If he just wanted to go to school and acquire new knowledge, Principal Liu would grit his teeth and support Liu Xiaoen even if he had to save money, and send him to a suitable stage.
But unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time.
Many of the educated youth who went to the countryside have not had time to go back yet.
He had no idea what had happened above, so apart from hiding Liu Xiaoen's talent, Principal Liu didn't know what to do.
However, she now saw a glimmer of hope in Shen Zhuyi.
"You are asking me these questions now...you must be thinking about Xiaoen's future. I am willing to hand him over to you." Principal Liu took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and looked at her quietly.
"Just think of it as me being too nosy. I want a promise from you. No matter what the future holds for you and your lover, please ensure that my little En is safe and sound, okay?"
There was a faint pleading in Principal Liu's eyes. She had no children in her life, and only this adopted son, Liu Xiaoen, was all she cared about.
So, at this moment, she made this request to Chen Zhuyi as a mother.
