Chapter 480: Chapter 480

Sure, here is the translated text:

As expected, once those words were spoken, the school immediately became a hubbub. The students were a bit confused but also excited, while the parents gathered outside started discussing lively.

"Aiya, this Miss Wan is really sincere."

"The cost for a year is four to five hundred yuan. If you can get into the top three, wouldn’t that be equivalent to earning that much money for the family?"

"Isn’t that the case! No way, I have to tell my boy properly, if he dares to not study well, I’ll break his leg!"

Someone joked with a laugh: "Third, even if you break your boy’s leg, that brain of his won’t get into the top three."

"What nonsense are you talking about; he didn’t have supervision before, but now that he’s got someone, he will surely get good grades."

No matter what, a bunch of people were motivated by Wan Chu’er’s words, all preparing to study hard and progress day by day.

Meanwhile, after exchanging glances, the village committee cadres saw the excitement in each other’s eyes: Wan Chu’er and Mai Qiqi are truly the benefactors of Huangjiagou Village! In the future, they must woo these two girls well and definitely not offend them.

"Let’s give a warm round of applause to thank Comrade Wan Chuer for her substantial support to Huangjiagou Hope Primary School."

A series of claps erupted, even more resounding.

The opening ceremony quickly ended, the students rushed into the classrooms for classes, and the miscellaneous people who attended the ceremony dispersed.

As Wan Chu’er was walking outside, she was stopped by Xiao Huaili and his sister. She turned back, noticing that the siblings were wearing new clothes.

"What’s the matter, Little Lizzi?" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel•fire.net

Xiao Huaili anxiously asked, "Why didn’t Mr. Mai come today? Is she unwell?"

They were attending school thanks to Mai Qiqi who paid for their tuition, and the tracksuits they wore today were also bought by Mai Qiqi from the county town.

Today was their first day of school; they wanted to show Mai Qiqi their new look. But from start to finish, they didn’t see her, so they hurried over to ask Wan Chu’er.

The siblings had a bit of conscience, still remembering Mai Qiqi. Wan Chu’er smiled and said, "Mr. Mai isn’t sick. She has some matters to handle today and couldn’t come. You two should study hard and strive to get first place in the final exams to show Mr. Mai."

Xiao Huaili nodded vigorously, "My sister and I will study hard."

"Alright, hurry to class then." Wan Chu’er waved them off.

Xiao Huaili wanted to ask when Mai Qiqi would come, but seeing Wan Chu’er motioning them to return to class, he had no choice but to reluctantly take his sister to the grade one classroom.

Xiao Huaili had studied before, so he enrolled in grade two at the start of school, whereas his sister Erya was in grade one. The two grades were in the same classroom, allowing them to look after each other.

Because there were only three teachers but six grades needed classes.

Fortunately, there was only one class per grade, so the school simply merged the classes with fewer students into those with more students in a single classroom. After teaching one class, they would assign exercises for them to do, then proceed to teach the other class.

Since the entrance exam to middle school only tested Chinese and Math, the school only arranged for teaching these two subjects. Although busy, it was manageable.

When Wan Chu’er drove away from the school, she noticed a gaze fixated on her. She turned to see Zhang Gouzi’s wife sneakily looking away.

Today, Zhang Gouzi’s son Zhang Xiaoqiang also came to school, so Zhang Gouzi’s wife’s presence made some sense. However, at this moment, most villagers had trickled away in groups of threes and fours to work the fields, yet Zhang Gouzi’s wife lingered, sneakily watching her.

Wan Chu’er squinted, her eyes sharp. Hmph, it seems Zhang Gouzi’s wife’s aware of what happened last night.

Ignoring her, Wan Chu’er drove off straight to return to the military family district.

Seeing Wan Chu’er leave, Zhang Gouzi’s wife’s eyes turned for a long while. Not seeing that city woman named Mai today, she didn’t know if her deadbeat man succeeded last night. It’s been all night, yet he hadn’t returned. Could it be he was unwilling to come back?!

Zhang Gouzi’s wife snorted, thinking to herself that with her son in hand, even if that Mai woman was really conned into following her man, she would never relinquish her spot for Mai.

She absolutely must get the car and money from Mai’s hands, and even strip a few pieces of good clothing off Mai.

Last time, she didn’t get any advantage from Wan Chu’er, as the village intercepted halfway through. Let’s see how the village could intercept Mai Qiqi’s benefits this time!

Both Zhang Gouzi and his wife thought Wan Chu’er and Mai Qiqi were soft buns, and rich ones at that. They had thoroughly investigated, knowing that Mai Qiqi was a single girl, foolishly spending her own money driving back and forth for the school, pouring in quite a sum.

So both of them felt it would be easier to target Mai Qiqi, determined to not let the opportunity slip like last time—they must take hold of Mai Qiqi.

Unfortunately, they had mistaken their ideas, provoking those they shouldn’t have!

When Wan Chu’er returned home, Mai Qiqi had already dropped the baby off at kindergarten. With Liu Yufang there, they were all at ease with Hunter and Chuanqi’s kindergarten life.

"Was everything normal at the school opening? Have Little Lizzi and Erya gone to school? Did any students not attend..."

Once inside, Mai Qiqi couldn’t help but ask a bunch of questions.

Wan Chu’er looked at her, "Rest assured, everything is fine."

Mai Qiqi shrugged, sitting on the sofa, absentmindedly flipping through a magazine. She smiled calmly and said, "I initially wanted to give them extra classes on music, art, and physical education."

Wan Chu’er thought for a moment and said, "If you want to go, you can. That trash Zhang Gouzi won’t appear again."

Mai Qiqi sighed, "Let’s talk about it later; I don’t want to go to Huangjiagou right now."

Unexpectedly, in the evening, Huang Yan and Village Chief Huang, father and daughter, came to visit.

Upon receiving a call from the young soldier standing guard at the door, Wan Chu’er and Mai Qiqi exchanged glances, with Mai Qiqi murmuring, "Could there be something wrong at the school?"

Wan Chu’er was speechless; just how much was this girl worried about that school?

After a while, the Huang father and daughter entered, each carrying a bag of vegetables and fruits.

Upon meeting, Huang Yan gave Mai Qiqi a concerned once-over, confirming she wasn’t ill before smiling:

"My dad and I were worried about you, so we came to see you since it’s quiet in the evening."

Mai Qiqi felt a little touched, smiling, "Thank you for coming to see me."

Village Chief Huang earnestly said, "Girl, we have troubled you lately, running back and forth for our village. Since the school has opened now, there’s nothing much happened, do have a good rest at home. If anything comes up, just tell Teacher Lin and Teacher Zhang, let them pass a message to Yanzi."

Not a word mentioned for Mai Qiqi to continue going to the school nor inquire why she hasn’t gone, merely advising her to rest well at home.
