Madeline Quinn's Family

Director Zhang's words made Wang Shili pause for a moment.

How could he be content! After all these years, he was the most senior among the arithmetic teachers and hoped to become the head arithmetic teacher, but some mysterious person had been parachuted in from nowhere.

Even before Director Zhang spoke, Wang Shili was already uncomfortable, and now that it was pointed out, he couldn't help but complain: "Sigh, content or not, the person was personally chosen by Director Gu. I'm just a humble teacher; how could I possibly argue? Besides, I know all the famous arithmetic experts in the world, but this newcomer, I haven't even heard of him. I only heard his surname might be Su something, probably pushed in by some powerful noble."

Director Zhang saw that even Wang Shili, the arithmetic teacher he admired, had his own troubles, which made him feel more balanced. As they ate and drank more, they reminisced about their school days and grew closer, their relationship warming significantly.

Meanwhile, Su Li was busy compiling textbooks, locked away in her study from dawn till dusk. After finally finishing the first one, she stepped out to stretch and heard that Qin Sanniang and her family had come to visit.

Su Li was puzzled. Qin Sanniang used to try to curry favor with her, but after Su Li ignored her, Qin Sanniang had been acting against her. Why would she suddenly come to visit now?

Su Li looked at Bailu in confusion. Bailu covered her mouth, giggling, and said, "Madam, you've been busy compiling textbooks these days and haven't kept up with things outside. Qin Sanniang and her family aren't here to visit you."

"Not to see me? Then what are they here for?" Su Li asked, puzzled.

Bailu giggled, pointing at Li Yanhao and Lingdang passing by the corridor, and said, "Qin Sanniang is here to see the Young Master."

"To see the Young Master?" Su Li stroked her chin, looking at Li Yanhao's back. "Has Qin Sanniang taken a fancy to the Young Master?"

"Not really," Bailu shook her head. "The Young Master is a confirmed homosexual. Even if Qin Sanniang wanted to make a move, the Young Master wouldn't pay her any mind. Qin Sanniang is here for Zhang Zhaocai."

"For Zhang Zhaocai?" Su Li was even more confused, scratching her head. She hadn't paid attention to outside matters for just a few days, yet so much had changed!

"Apparently, the Young Master wants to find a little boy from our village as a servant. Qin Sanniang wants to push Zhang Zhaocai onto the Young Master. So she brought Zhang Zhaocai here, officially to visit Madam, but actually to show off in front of the Young Master," Bailu explained.

Su Li's mouth immediately formed an O shape. Rolling up her sleeves, she said, "That damned homosexual Li Yanhao can torment the locals all he wants, but now he's even going after the children? No way, I have to follow and see what's going on!"

Su Li hurried after them, with Bailu rushing to catch up. When they reached the front hall, they saw Li Yanhao chatting very amiably with Qin Sanniang and her family.

Today, Zhang Zhaocai had been specially dressed up by Qin Sanniang, wearing new clothes, freshly bathed, and his hair neatly combed. He looked clean and tidy, a rather good-looking child.

Qin Sanniang beamed with a smile and said, "Young Master, look at my Zhaocai—he's healthy, obedient, and clever. Such a child is perfect to keep by your side as a servant. What do you say, Young Master?"

Zhang Zhaocai hung his head, his face burning red, his hands clenched tightly. It seemed he felt deeply humiliated but dared not make a sound.

Li Yanhao circled around Zhang Zhaocai once, stroked his chin, and nodded: "Tsk, this child looks pretty decent."
