Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 693 - 116: After All, You’re Not Young Anymore

"Do you know why I called you here?"

Four little heads shook in unison.

Zhou Qing, Jiang Yinyin, Meng Wei, Song Lili, these four girls, harmless as they seemed to others, have indeed been diligently studying since the beginning of the school year without causing any trouble.

But in Wang Yunxiao’s eyes, this group was the most unstable powder keg in the school.

If he hadn’t intervened last time, he might now have become the communal ’daddy’ for the second graders.

Song Lili was just a blank slate.

The other three were like a dye vat filled with all colors!

No need to mention Zhou Qing and Jiang Yinyin, but just take Meng Wei, this child is introverted, looks very honest and timid, can’t utter a sound even if you poked her.

Who would have thought she was actually a double agent for Qianjin Church and Red Lantern Society?

Wang Yunxiao wouldn’t have believed it if it wasn’t said by Veronica.

"Here’s some mung bean cake I bought for you, go ahead and split it among yourselves."

Wang Yunxiao pushed the snacks he had bought earlier towards them, and the four girls looked at each other, none daring to reach out.

Suddenly being called over, they were also feeling nervous.

Whose issue could have surfaced?

"Don’t be so nervous, I was out handling some business recently, this is a gift I brought back for you."

Wang Yunxiao smiled and said, "Also, I wanted to check on your homework, has your literature club created any new works recently?"

Three of them looked at Song Lili at the same time.

Song Lili shook her head with a flushed face, "I wrote two diaries... Mom read them and said they were just ramblings, told me to read more, to accumulate more volume."

Hmm, Eldest Miss Li really cares about her foster daughter.

In the past, Wang Yunxiao thought Li Mumu was just lucky and didn’t think much of it.

But now, he couldn’t help but think more.

"Here’s the thing, I just have a task suitable for your literature club that I’d like to assign to you."

Wang Yunxiao coughed and said seriously, "Are you interested in running a school newspaper?"

"..."

The four of you look at me, I look at you, Zhou Qing was the first to raise her hand and ask, "Excuse me, what is a school newspaper?"

"Haven’t you seen a newspaper?"

"We have, but..."

"A school newspaper is a newspaper distributed within the school for students to read, is that hard to understand?"

"What I meant was, what are we supposed to write?"

"That’s simple, I know you have no experience, so let me give you a direction."

Wang Yunxiao casually said, "Look, our school is co-ed, boys and girls sit together, so they don’t concentrate on studying, all they think about is romance, which isn’t good. But do you know where the root of this problem lies?"

The four little girls shook their heads blankly.

This kind of question was a bit too profound for them.

"Firstly, it’s because of the oppression from historical feudal systems, whether male or female, in terms of marriage everyone had to listen to their parents and matchmakers, they didn’t even know what their other half looked like before getting into the bridal room. This type of oppression of human nature would inevitably breed a rebellious mentality."

"Now we are learning about new culture, advocating for liberation of thoughts, independent thinking, and breaking free from the moral and ethical bindings imposed on us in the past. This sounds good in theory, but it is difficult to balance in real life."

"’The child’s lack of education is the father’s fault, the lack of strict teaching is the teacher’s laziness.’ Students not being able to grasp the balance properly and developing radical thoughts is due to the school’s inadequate education. Of course, the school’s conditions are just like this, objectively speaking there are indeed difficulties."

Normally, Wang Yunxiao wouldn’t and couldn’t be bothered to recite this whole set of moral teachings.

Since being influenced by Scholarly Heresy Skill, he has noticeably improved in this regard.

"Secondly, you should also understand that these past few years, life has improved, everybody can eat their fill, can sit carefree in school and study. But studying like this all the time can feel dull, needing an occasional shift in focus to relax the mind."

"The school has provided plenty of sports equipment, but not everyone likes sports, so there’s a need for some spiritual nourishment to prevent people from becoming idle and harboring improper thoughts."

"My thought is this. Let your literature club lead and organize an issue of the school newspaper. The specific content could focus on the oppression and sufferings of women in the old society, to be published in the form of stories in the school newspaper for students to read. What do you think?"

Difficult?

Not difficult.

Zhou Qing, Jiang Yinyin, and Meng Wei, these three kids have enough personal experiences to fill three storybooks.

But whether it’s difficult or not is one thing, whether they are willing to tell their own stories is another.

Meng Wei immediately showed a troubled expression, she had a belly full of bitter stories, but just couldn’t voice them.

How to say it?

My dad used to be a mafia boss, smuggled goods, kept many mistresses, and then got executed.

I live dependent on my stepmother, working in a factory by day screwing bolts, and still have to endure harassment from thugs and rogues at night.

I secretly receive two salaries...

"I’m not asking you to reveal your dark histories. You can go out and interview others on the street during the weekend."

Wang Yunxiao stared at Meng Wei, suggesting with a smile, "For example, Meng Wei, you used to be with the church, you must know many sisters, right? Maybe ask them about their past experiences."

"The church side... actually it’s okay!"

Meng Wei hurriedly explained, "Most of the sisters in Qianjin Church were adopted from young and received proper education. It’s quite rare to see someone like me who joined midway, normally it’s mostly..."

She suddenly stuttered.

"Seek help from the Red Lantern Society?"

"Uh... yes, that’s right, only those women willing to accept education and actively seek jobs receive the protection of the church. If it’s a domestic issue, it’s usually handled by the Red Lantern Society."

"Then go find the Red Lantern Society."

Wang Yunxiao nodded, "I’m not very familiar with those old ladies, but you should have a way in, right?"

"I..."

Meng Wei subconsciously wanted to deny it, but under Wang Yunxiao’s gaze, she pursed her lips and murmured, "I can’t really say for sure..."

"No worries, just go and try. If you can’t find them, then let’s talk."

Wang Yunxiao waved his hand, "This is a training for you, after all, you’re not that young anymore, you can’t always live under the protection of others. If you run into trouble, come back to me, I’ll cover for you."

As long as you don’t create any trouble yourselves.

I’ll clean up the mess for you!
