The girl sent Wen Dongrong and Deng Shangwei to the village entrance. Before getting on the bus, Wen Dongrong suddenly turned around and said, "Study hard. Everything you're going through now, whether it's poverty, contempt, or insults, will fundamentally change once you've made progress through study!"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily: "I heard about it from my uncle."
Wen Dongrong didn't waste any time and waved goodbye to the girl.
Along the way, Deng Shangwei kept stealing glances at Wen Dongrong. Wen Dongrong frowned and asked, "Why are you always looking at me?"
Deng Shangwei smiled awkwardly, "Brother-in-law, you seem to be particularly touched today."
Deng Shangwei actually thought of Wen Dongrong because of this girl.
Although Wen Dongrong has a respectable job now, the Wen family was very poor in the past, and Grandma Wen became a widow at a very young age. It was not easy for a rural woman to raise four children.
Girls from poor families will be bullied at school. Could it be that Wen Dongrong was also bullied when she was in school?
Of course, Deng Shangwei knew that his brother-in-law was very concerned about his reputation, so he only dared to guess secretly in his heart and did not dare to ask.
Wen Dongrong saw through Deng Shangwei's thoughts and clarified with a serious face, "When we were studying, the atmosphere was simple and honest. Only now do we have the idea of supporting poor students. Thirty years ago, it was rare for a student's family to have some money. Everyone was equally poor, so there was no such thing as looking down on anyone. I think today's students just come from well-off families. Their parents feed them too much, so they have the leisure to do these things!"
Deng Shangwei didn't know why Wen Dongrong was so indignant, but what he said made sense, so he nodded. "I'm not afraid of Deng Jie and Deng Hao being bullied, I'm worried about them bullying others. I used to worry about Xiaoying, she's really too well-behaved! It's not good for a girl to be so well-behaved. It's better to be more aggressive and practical. She's doing very well now."
Deng Shangwei chuckled, not knowing that his unintentional words had stabbed Old Wen again.
Wen Dongrong felt very upset.
He advised the sponsored poor students to be self-reliant because girls have no family support and can only be self-reliant. Wen Dongrong can sponsor them to study, but he cannot always care about the girls' study and living conditions.
The girl who came to visit today is just like Wen Dongrong in the past.
Wen Dongrong escaped from the countryside through studying. He now has everything he didn’t have before. Girls can also take this path!
Wen Dongrong felt upset because he had worked so hard, but his own daughter and the poor students were treated the same. What was the point of his hard work?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Wen Dongrong's mentality exploded, and he suddenly asked Deng Shangwei, who was driving, to change the route.
"Where are you going?"
"Let's go back to the county, to Wenying's old junior high school. Do you know the way?"
"I know, I know..."
But why?
Deng Shangwei knew a little about Lao Wen's penchant for Versailles, and suspected that Lao Wen was going back to his hometown to show off the "Writers Rich List".
Deng Shangwei hesitated, "Brother-in-law, as the saying goes, don't show off your wealth. The newspapers are saying every day that Xiaoying has made tens of millions writing novels. I'm afraid if you go back home now, someone will ask you to borrow money!"
"That's not the case. I'm going to see Wenying Junior High's homeroom teacher. You should focus on driving first."
Wen Dongrong had never been to Teacher Kang's home, and he didn't have Teacher Kang's contact information, but this didn't stop Wen Dongrong's determination to meet Teacher Kang. If he didn't know, he might as well go to the school and ask.
Fortunately, Teacher Kang lived in the teachers' building of the school, and Wen Dongrong found out when he arrived at the school and asked.
Wen Dongrong asked Deng Shangwei to wait downstairs, tidied his clothes and went upstairs. After knocking on Teacher Kang's door, introducing himself and explaining his purpose, Teacher Kang looked strange.
"Teacher Kang, don't think too much. I have a formal job and I'm a decent person. I just want to know about Wen Ying's social circle when she was in junior high school. I would never do anything to those children."
"You misunderstood."
Teacher Kang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Your wife came here this morning."
Chen Ru made an appointment by phone last night and arrived as scheduled this morning. Teacher Kang received Chen Ru at home.
There are many students who come back to school to visit their teachers after graduation. Teacher Kang has only encountered a few parents of students who come back to school to visit their teachers after graduation in all his years of work.
This is the first time that Teacher Kang has encountered a couple who came to visit separately on the same day, one made an appointment in advance and the other came on impulse.
It’s funny to say that when Teacher Kang reminded Chen Ru at a parent-teacher meeting before, Chen Ru seemed not to understand. Her reaction was so slow, so how come she suddenly understood it now?
Wen Dongrong was stunned.
Chen Ru went out early in the morning. Was she here to see Teacher Kang?
From what Teacher Kang said, Chen Ru had already done what he wanted to do and asked about the situation of Wen Ying's "friends" in junior high school.
Wen Dongrong felt that if he moved quickly enough, he could catch up with his wife, so he was in a hurry to leave. Suddenly, Teacher Kang called out to him, "Dad Wen Ying, there are six semesters in three years of junior high school. I remember you were so busy with work that you didn't come to school for a single parent-teacher meeting. I talked to your wife this morning about something, and if you're not in a hurry, why don't you listen?"
As Teacher Kang spoke, he stepped aside to make way for Wen Dongrong, apparently wanting to invite him into the house for a detailed discussion.
Teacher Kang plans to make up for the parent-teacher meeting that Wen Dongrong missed during the three years of junior high school today!
To be honest, it doesn't make much sense to care about whether my daughter was bullied during her three years of junior high school. Whether it is Wen Dongrong or Chen Ru, doing so can indeed alleviate their guilt, but if it is just to alleviate guilt, Teacher Kang thinks it is unnecessary.
What happened in the past is a fait accompli and nothing can be done to change it.
What is more important is the present and the future.
Wen Ying is not yet eighteen years old, and Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong will have to be Wen Ying's parents for many years. This couple still has a lot to learn about how to understand their child, how to communicate with their child effectively, and how to be the parents that their child truly needs!
