Chapter 208: Chapter 208

As the sky grew darker and there was no movement at the door, everyone inside grew increasingly worried.

If it weren’t for yesterday’s incident, no one would be thinking too much, but that uproar yesterday, which started with Zhao Gang, could end up being traced by someone with hidden intentions.

If it was just about this one person, there wouldn’t be much concern, but there’s worry whether Ge Yonggen’s people might act out in desperation, and what if they make a move?

Zhan Jing sat absent-mindedly on the bed, hugging her large belly, with no expression on her face.

Were it not for her nearing labor, Zhan Jing really wanted to wait at the door herself.

Gong Tao regretfully wished he had gone along, as an extra hand would be useful if something happened.

He wanted to go out and look, but without knowing which route Zhao Gang took home, he was afraid he might end up going the wrong way, so all he could do was wait.

From afar, he heard the sound of a cowbell, "That sound is definitely from the village’s cows." Gong Tao listened carefully and was sure it was Zhao Gang returning.

Gong Tao shouted towards the house, "Zhao Gang is back."

Those anxiously waiting inside all rushed out upon hearing Gong Tao, and when Zhao Gang drove the ox cart to a stop at the door, he found everyone standing there.

Zhao Gang was so excited, having nothing but running around all day outside, yet coming home to people waiting was a great feeling, "You all didn’t know I already got a teacher, did you?"

Zhao Gang felt really good, though he was a bit confident, he couldn’t revel too much until he got a definite answer, in case the other party was just inquiring.

More importantly, the other party might want to leave because of Ge Hongmei’s presence; if Ge Hongmei got into trouble, Ge Yonggen would fall with her, making Principal Wang’s position very secure, would he still want to transfer to another place?

Unexpectedly, just visiting Wang Jianming, opening the conversation, and the other party agreed, things went so smoothly that Zhao Gang thought he was dreaming.

Ah, everyone just knew Zhao Gang coming back was good, but didn’t expect he would accomplish his mission.

"Then exams will be much more convenient in the future." The thought of his daughter not needing to suffer anymore made Gong Tao feel great in every way.

"Right, what did the teacher say?" Zhan Jing wanted to know what the teacher said.

"All sorted, Principal Wang’s whole family will come over, it’s just that the village needs to arrange accommodation for them." Newest update provıded by NoveI~Fire.net

"And then we need to start a school, the village will be busy." These are all additional tasks, but the villagers won’t have objections.

Although the village has a road to the commune, it’s a long journey; it’s fine in summer, but in winter the daylight is short, making it hard for kids to go to school.

That’s why few children from the village go to school because the journey takes too much time, and now with a school in the village, more children might be willing to attend.

This counts as a good deed for the village; he doesn’t seek much gratitude, just hopes someone would lend a hand when needed.

The whole family coming over, Gong Ruini was stunned, Zhao Gang did a great job, just chatting with Wang Jianming yesterday and he could figure things out, he’s a talent.

"By the way, have you talked to the village?" Gong Tao was excited, remembering his wife wondered if they could invite Cai Ming to be a teacher here.

The village where Cai Ming was before had already arranged classes for literacy and didn’t have a position for him.

Now they want to open a primary school, Cai Ming could try; Gong Tao thought it was a good idea, as the village had no educated youths, it shouldn’t be hard to propose Cai Ming’s involvement to the village.

However, he wasn’t sure about his brother-in-law’s thoughts, even though rejection was unlikely, Gong Tao still wanted to ask Cai Ming for his opinion.

Zhao Gang said he had thought about it, "I actually sent off Teacher Wang and them back before returning."

"They had quite a pleasant talk with the village chief."

"They’ve also selected the places for them to stay and where the school will be established." Zhao Gang said he was truly busy today, accomplishing a lot and exhausting himself in the process.

No way, Zhao Gang had been in the village all this time, yet they naïvely waited at home for someone who wasn’t even aware.

Gong Ruini looked at the increasingly cloudy sky, possibly leading to a heavy storm, and felt this wasn’t the right place for several children to stay.

She pulled Gong Ruwen and quickly retreated; Zhao Guangran also noticed the situation wasn’t good and retreated quickly.

Though he wanted to see how his father would harshly lecture his mother, Zhao Guangran knew from past unfortunate experiences that such scenes were often painful and better left alone.

Seeing the children’s tactfulness, Zhan Jing felt satisfied, but the fact that even the children noticed her bad mood and glanced at Zhao Gang, boasting about his accomplishments to Gong Tao, really made her wonder if he noticed his wife’s dissatisfaction.

Zhao Gang had noticed, but he felt having accomplished so much today, his wife shouldn’t throw a fuss over such trivial matters.

Moreover, Zhao Gang wasn’t without a backup plan, knowing well his wife wouldn’t embarrass him like that.

Gong Tao, too, wanted to retreat, but couldn’t free himself from Zhao Gang’s tight grip.

Zhan Jing only knew a little about Zhao Gang’s scheme, thinking he could avoid confrontation; she let him feel smug first but doubted things would end just like that.

Zhan Jing turned and went back to her room, finally making Zhao Gang release Gong Tao, "Thanks, buddy, if you hear strange noises later."

In front of his buddy, he couldn’t lose face, but behind closed doors, how he might be tormented by his wife was his own matter.

This guy surrendered quickly, and Gong Tao had no interest in meddling in their marital matters, as long as someone could get it done.

"You didn’t think much about Zhan Jing; she was really nervous today." Who wouldn’t be nervous if their man wasn’t back after a whole day, anyone would worry.

Knowing his wife was concerned about him, particularly when she recently only paid attention to the baby inside, made Zhao Gang pleasantly surprised, yet he kept his composure; he couldn’t get too excited, knowing someone might still be watching, especially that Gong Tao, master of betrayal.

"My wife just lacks experience, don’t worry, I’ll handle it," Zhao Gang assured that it wasn’t a big deal, and he would manage it.

Seeing Zhao Gang still trying to maintain control, with little faith shown by his friends, Zhao Gang didn’t feel sad, because he knew escaping unscathed would be hard; the look his wife gave when she turned away clearly told him of an imminent unforgettable punishment.

Zhao Gang really regretted not giving a notice earlier; he was simply too excited and forgot.

In his mind, Zhao Gang was calculating which apology method would work best to please his wife, as making her happy was something every husband must accomplish.
