However, she was absolutely unwilling to agree to Dr. Zhou's request to be her daughter's tutor so that she could take her daughter to "do farm work".
Her child had suffered greatly since childhood, and now that she had finally been found, she naturally wanted to be pampered and spoiled, so how could she possibly do farm work? Perhaps the reason she's like this now is because she grew up in a farming family and is used to that kind of life, and she's not used to city life and feels uncomfortable not doing chores. Her mother is too busy trying to "correct" her behavior to let anyone "corrupt" her.
For a moment, Zhou Huiyu was extremely conflicted, her expression changing several times. She wanted to give Gu Shaoyong a meaningful look so that he could come up with a solution, but she was also afraid of messing things up. She was really at her wit's end, but she still couldn't come up with a solution.
Gu Shaoyong was also conflicted.
Logically, he should have agreed to Dr. Zhou's request after much difficulty. After all, now that he had "tricked" the person back, he would naturally want to find a way to keep them there before pursuing other plans.
But he just couldn't bring himself to nod.
On one hand, there is the greater good of the nation; on the other, there is his beloved wife and daughter. Any 'normal man' would know that the greater good of the nation must come first.
But Gu Shaoyong might be a little different.
He initially left politics for business for his wife. Now he's re-entering politics for his wife and daughters.
He had no shortage of patriotism, but he also loved his wife and daughter.
Therefore, Gu Shaoyong was also conflicted, thinking, should I delay for a while?
Before he could even speak, his precious daughter exclaimed with delight, "Great! Dr. Zhou, you're so amazing! If you become my tutor, will I be as amazing as you in the future?"
Seeing his beloved wife's face turn incredibly ugly in an instant, Gu Shaoyong forced himself to cough twice before Dr. Zhou could speak, and said, "Duo'er, that's not necessarily true. However, what Dad wants to remind you is that you are still a child, and this is the time to lay a solid foundation. No matter how good a tutor is, they can only teach you from the basics. Otherwise, it would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, which would only harm you and cut off your future path."
Yes, although the words were spoken to Yun Duo, they were actually a reminder to Dr. Zhou.
Dr. Zhou was undoubtedly an exceptionally intelligent person, but he disliked beating around the bush. Upon hearing Gu Shaoyong's words, he said directly, "Diplomat Gu, rest assured, I just want to mentor her first, teaching her some basic literacy, arithmetic, and natural sciences. By the way, I'll give her some practical experience. If she can't adapt, you can hire another tutor for her."
Practice? So that means going to the fields?
Zhou Huiyu's face turned pale. Just as she was about to disregard everything and speak up to stop him, Yun Duo spoke up.
"Don't worry, Teacher Zhou, I'm very smart and I'm sure I can adapt to your teaching style."
Okay! They've even called on the teacher.
"Hmm." Seeing that Yun Duo was so cooperative, Dr. Zhou was quite satisfied and nodded immediately. He then looked at Gu Shaoyong and Zhou Huiyu and said, "I like this student, so I'll take her in. I know you're worried, so I'll teach her for a while and won't charge you tutor fees."
Anyway, he's not short of money.
Before Gu Shaoyong and Zhou Huiyu could nod, he continued, "However, I will decide what the teaching content is; you don't need to worry about it."
How could I not worry! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to take my daughter to do farm work?
No! Absolutely not!
