Ch 17: Unlimited Love for Daughter
The news that Du Qingyang got full marks in all subjects in the final exam quickly spread throughout San Nan Village. Neighbors came one after another, and the Du Family Home became lively again.
“Fang Rong , I heard that your girl got full marks in all the final exams.”
“Du Dawei , your girl is so good at studying, why didn’t you say so earlier?”
The neighbors surrounded Du Dawei and Fang Rong , clamoring and making noise, speaking only flattering words.
Among the crowd was Chang Hua , who wanted to be a matchmaker for her uncle, praising Du Qingyang with a smiling face along with everyone else. It was as if the incident of being swept out of the Du Family Home last time had never happened.
Du Qingyang only felt that everyone was noisy, so noisy that her head hurt. What business was it of theirs whether she did well or not? How meddlesome!
They kept repeating the same few words of praise, making her ears tingle. She really wanted to grab a broom and drive them away like last time. However, seeing the Du parents so happy that they couldn’t close their mouths, looking very pleased, Du Qingyang temporarily endured it.
The Original Owner was an Academic Underachiever, and had never passed an exam. This time, she actually got full marks in all subjects. How could Du Dawei and Fang Rong not be happy? They felt as if their ancestors for three generations had benefited.
Du Dawei and his wife didn’t doubt the authenticity of their daughter’s grades, nor did they doubt why their daughter had changed from an Academic Underachiever to an Academic Ace. The perfect transcript was right there, and they only recognized the transcript, forgetting all the past! Their daughter used to be an Academic Underachiever? Was she? They didn’t remember!
“Du Dawei , Qingyang’s grades are so good, let her help my child with tutoring.” Suddenly, someone in the crowd made a request. As soon as these words came out, others followed suit.
“Yes, yes, help my child with tutoring too.”
“Bring my child along, let’s study together and make progress together.”
Chang Hua also echoed. Her child was in elementary school and had very poor grades, which made her very headache. She came today to ask Du Qingyang to help her teach her child. She had long forgotten about her uncle’s matter.
Du Qingyang finally understood. So these people were praising her so vigorously for a reason, wanting her to help tutor their children.
The villagers of San Nan Village did not have a high level of education, and most of them were illiterate. They were unable to educate their children well in their studies. Du Qingyang suddenly became an Academic Ace, so naturally some people had designs on her.
“No way!” Before Du Qingyang could respond, Du Dawei had already refused.
Why? The crowd was displeased and stopped praising her. Qingyang hadn’t even refused yet, so why was the father refusing?
“Your children are naughty and difficult to teach, and none of them want to study. Letting our Qingyang teach them would only exhaust her, of course, it’s not okay! No way!” Fang Rong’s opinion was the same as her husband’s, and she babbled the reasons.
Fang Rong spoke bluntly, saying that other people’s children were bad in front of their parents, and she really wasn’t afraid of being hated.
Du Qingyang laughed inwardly. The Du Family were indeed infinitely loving towards their daughter, just like the description in the original novel.
In the hearts of the Du Family Members, Du Qingyang was a treasure. Letting their treasure help others with tutoring? How tiring! They would never allow it! Afraid of offending the villagers? What if they were offended? The villagers were not their treasures, so they didn’t care.
“What are you saying? My child is very well-behaved.”
“Fang Rong , you’ve gone too far.”
“It’s not that my child doesn’t like to study, it’s just that they don’t know how to study.”
◈◈◈
The unconvinced neighbors argued with Du Dawei and his wife. Everyone was talking at once, making it even noisier than before.
How long would they argue endlessly? Du Qingyang couldn’t bear it any longer and shouted loudly at the crowd: “Enough!”
“I agree to help the children with tutoring.”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd instantly quieted down, all smiling and looking at Du Qingyang . That’s right, Du Family Girl was the main character, not Du Dawei and Fang Rong , so why were they refusing?
◈◈◈
Du Dawei and Fang Rong were saddened and quickly walked to their daughter’s side.
“Good daughter, you can’t agree to them.”
“Their children are very naughty, they are all too bad, you can’t teach them.”
◈◈◈
Du Dawei and Fang Rong kept persuading her, constantly saying bad things about the neighbor’s children.
Du Qingyang laughed “Puchi”, the feeling of being infinitely loved by her parents was really too good. For the sake of their daughter’s ease and comfort, they didn’t mind saying bad things about other people’s children in front of their parents without any mercy, only the Du Family would dare to do that.
Du Qingyang finally understood why no neighbors were willing to help when the Du Family fell into trouble later in the original novel. Because, in their eyes, the Du Family Members were all bad people! Look, they were saying bad things about their children, how bad.
Du Qingyang stretched out her hands and patted Du Dawei’s and Fang Rong’s shoulders respectively, signaling them to rest assured, she had her own ideas.
Then, Du Qingyang looked at the crowd and spoke again.
“I agree to help the children with tutoring. But, I have to charge tutoring fees.”
What? Charge tutoring fees? They were neighbors, how could Du Qingyang have the nerve to charge? The crowd’s expressions were not good, but no one spoke out against it. If the fees weren’t too expensive, they would still be willing. Who wouldn’t want their child’s grades to be good, so that they could bring honor to ancestors in the future when they got into college.
Du Qingyang was just a child, charging fees was probably to buy candy, right? Okay, they would agree to give her one or two cents for tutoring fees.
“Good daughter, our family is not short of money, there’s no need…” Du Dawei still wanted to persuade his daughter to give up the idea of helping the children with tutoring. He would feel sorry for his daughter if she got tired for such a small amount of money. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Du Qingyang waving her hand.
Du Qingyang interrupted her father’s words and then looked at the crowd and said, “My fee is calculated per person per hour, each child is 20 Yuan per hour.”
Wow——
As soon as Du Qingyang’s words came out, everyone gasped. 20 Yuan per hour? They didn’t even earn 20 Yuan a month. Du Qingyang was joking, right?
Du Dawei and Fang Rong were also stunned. Then, they looked at each other, 20 Yuan per hour? They didn’t seem to have misheard? Right, they didn’t mishear, their daughter really said 20 Yuan per hour.
Great! Their daughter was even better at making money than them. 20 Yuan per hour for one child, 200 Yuan for ten children. If she tutored for two hours, she would have 400 Yuan! Wow, they were going to get rich!
But, it would be too tiring for their precious daughter to teach ten children at the same time. No way! No matter how much money, they couldn’t accept it! Their daughter only needed to eat well, sleep well, and have fun, making money was the adults’ business.
Before the crowd could recover from their shock, Du Dawei and Fang Rong eagerly expressed their opinions.
“No way! Even if it’s 40 Yuan per hour, I still don’t agree.”
“I don’t agree either, our family doesn’t lack that little bit of money.”
