Chapter 267
Xu Cuiying stared at her back, a trace of sadness in her eyes.
It’s a pity that such a good mother-in-law is not hers.
Tang Wan naturally didn't know about these things. When she came to the classroom, she was still thinking about Mr. Xu.
The students felt strange after not seeing Teacher Xu for several days.
Today, when Teacher Xuan was teaching, someone couldn't help but ask:
"Teacher, where is Mr. Xu? He hasn't come to class for a long time."
"Yeah, we haven't seen him for a long time and we miss him a little bit."
"We all like Teacher Xu. Is Teacher Xu sick?"
“…”
"Teacher Xu has some special family circumstances, so he has asked for leave for a while."
Teacher Xuan looked embarrassed and said, "I can't tell you the specific situation. Just focus on the class and don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."
"Is Teacher Xu sick?"
There was concern in Lu Lin's eyes, and it was obvious that many people cared about Teacher Xu.
"No, everyone, stop guessing and focus on the lesson."
Teacher Xuan's expression froze, and everyone finally gave up their messy thoughts.
At noon, Tang Wan and Lu Lin had lunch together and vaguely heard the discussion between Hu Jian and Xuan Zhu.
"Brother Zhu, is this reliable?"
"I heard it with my own ears and I can check it out. Teacher Xu has a questionable background."
"So he was suspended?"
Hu Jian was surprised and said without hesitation: "Will that implicate us?"
"It's hard to say. Just don't ask about other people's affairs in the future. I'm telling you this because I treat you as a brother."
Xuan Zhu was quite proud and he quite enjoyed Hu Jian's flattery.
So after the quarrel with Hu Jian, he took the initiative to show goodwill.
As expected, Hu Jianshe immediately agreed with Xuan Zhu, "Brother Zhu is still awesome."
Although he tried to please Lu Lin, he didn't think of giving up Xuan Zhu.
Lu Lin and Tang Wan became a little angry after hearing this, and Tang Wan even put down her chopsticks.
"Don't spread rumors based on hearsay. It's your fault if you ruin Teacher Xu's reputation!"
"That's right, if you talk nonsense without knowing anything, you are misleading others!"
Lu Lin couldn't stand Xuan Zhu's condescending attitude.
It's really annoying to see people acting like they are so great!
After hearing what they said, Hu Jian, the lackey, immediately said in a flattering way:
"Linlin, don't get excited. Brother Zhu must have his reasons for saying that.
He is the grandson of Teacher Xuan, so he must have heard something we don’t know.”
"My grandpa told others this himself before, how could it be wrong?"
Xuan Zhu was very displeased with Yu Lulin and Tang Wan, and Ouyang Yan spoke for him.
"I believe what Brother Zhu said!"
"Since Teacher Xuan said it himself, let's go confront him!"
Tang Wan has known Teacher Xuan for such a long time that she knows that Teacher Xuan and Xuan Zhu are completely different people.
He would never say that about Teacher Xu!
And she also doesn't allow others to slander Teacher Xu like this!
When Xuan Zhu heard that they were going to have a confrontation, his expression changed instantly.
At the same time, I also had some opinions about Hu Jian.
If his grandfather knew, he would definitely beat him up!
If it weren't for Hu Jian, he wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.
But Hu Jian didn't know all this and still firmly believed that Xuan Zhu was right.
"How could what Brother Zhu said be wrong?"
"That's right, let's go ask Teacher Xuan. We can't damage Teacher Xu's reputation!"
Tang Wan was very persistent. Xuan Zhu probably thought that without Teacher Xu, his grandfather would be more famous.
After hearing Tang Wan's words, his expression changed instantly.
"I heard about it, but I don't know the details."
"You are so unsure that you come out and talk nonsense. You are really well-educated!"
Lu Lin was very straightforward and spoke directly, which made Xuan Zhu's face turn black with anger.
"My brother Zhu didn't mean it, why are you saying that about him?"
Ouyang Yan leaned towards Xuan Zhu, while Hu Jian felt a little embarrassed.
He also spoke up for Lu Lin, "Brother Zhu, she is not targeting you, you..."
"Shut up!"
Xuan Zhu was disgusted with Hu Jian's attitude, so he turned around and left with a sullen face.
This time he probably really had a fight with Hu Jian.
As soon as the person left, Lu Lin muttered, "You talk nonsense when you don't understand. You almost ruined Teacher Xu's reputation.
Even if he is Teacher Xuan's grandson, does he really think the hospital belongs to him?"
"Okay, let's just trust Teacher Xu."
Tang Wan knew the real situation, so she would not believe them.
Lu Lin was a little worried. "Teacher Xu is a nice person. I don't know what's going on."
She turned around and asked her aunt.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine."
Tang Wanan comforted Lu Lin a few words, but didn't say much else.
This is Mr. Xu's private matter, so Tang Wan naturally wouldn't talk nonsense.
But after class, he still went to see Master Xu.
Aunt Xu's condition has not improved today. She is still acting crazy and doesn't recognize anyone.
While she was messing up the house, Mr. Xu was cleaning it up. He was very patient and didn't look angry at all.
Tang Wan was a little impressed for a moment. There would be no filial son by the bedside of a patient who has been ill for a long time, let alone the fact that they were just husband and wife.
Mr. Xu can do this, which is something many men cannot do.
"Teacher Xu, I brought you some eggs and meat."
Tang Wan took out dozens of eggs, two or three pounds of pork, and some millet from the cloth bag.
Mr. Xu smiled helplessly, "I told you not to come but you insisted on coming. What can I say about you?"
"Well done."
Aunt Xu clapped her hands and laughed. Even though she was not in good condition, Grandpa Xu still combed her hair meticulously.
Although her hair had turned gray, Master Xu still braided her hair into two big braids.
As he was braiding her hair, he said to Tang Wan, "She used to like those long braids the most."
"She'll be fine."
Tang Wan's eyes fell softly on Aunt Xu, who was quietly stroking her braid at this moment.
"I don't know what kind of lesbian Xu likes."
She was still mumbling to herself, and Master Xu explained, "She and I have been childhood sweethearts.
But when we were old enough to get married, I was too shy to express my feelings, so she waited for me for several years in vain."
Talking about the past, Mr. Xu's eyes were filled with nostalgia. She was young and beautiful at that time, so pretty that it made people's eyes dazzle.
"Teacher Xu."
Tang Wan thought about it, then took out the pills she had made in the space last night and handed them to him.
"This is the pill I made for my aunt. Although it can't completely cure her, it can alleviate her illness."
This pill is not pitch black, but is covered with a layer of beautiful sugar beans.
Sure enough, Aunt Xu, who had resisted taking medicine in the past, stared at the pill and said happily:
"Sugar, I want candy."
"Let me see."
It’s not that Mr. Xu doesn’t trust Tang Wan, but he has to be careful with what he takes in, and his daughter-in-law’s safety is more important than anything else.
He cut open a pill and carefully identified the ingredients. Aunt Xu said angrily:
"I want jelly beans!"
"Be good, wife, I'll give you something to eat later."
Grandpa Xu coaxed Aunt Xu softly and put the pill to his nose and sniffed it.
The efficacy of this pill is similar to the medicine he prescribed before.
