My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 78 - 76 Getting Revenge for Wife [5700 words]_3
They came over today, actually wanting to attend a lecture, but were delayed by this question for an entire day.
If they couldn't find an answer, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.
Mr. Chen took the sheet of paper and walked over to Li Nuo, saying, "Mr. Li, this problem…"
Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders and said very directly, "I don't know it either…"
Last night, Li Nuo had heard his wife mention some past events.
Each and every one of these old men had been the chief culprits in crushing her confidence in her studies when she was a child, and Li Nuo was determined to avenge her.
After they left, Li Nuo then said to Song Jiaren, "Later, I will teach you a mathematics problem. If they come again tomorrow, you can continue to ask for their guidance, saying how others don't have a talent for mathematics, but they do, so they should solve it themselves…"
Song Jiaren obviously knew whom Li Nuo meant by "others," and seeing the four masters stumped by a problem she could solve definitely stirred within her an indescribable feeling.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone in her family, including herself, had believed that she was not cut out for studying.
Only he had told her that not all women needed to be skilled in Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting, and it was also he who proved this way that she was not too stupid to learn mathematics…
A faint smile unconsciously surfaced on her face.
Chen, Lu, Xu, Wei, the four masters, while initially happy to meet such a young master of mathematics and to explore a brand-new field of mathematics, soon could no longer smile.
Every day when Song Jiaren saw them, she would ask them one question, one they could not answer.
So now they were afraid whenever they saw her.
At this point, the four of them also realized that the girl was not truly asking them questions for guidance.
Her husband's proficiency in mathematics far exceeded their combined abilities; if they had any questions, couldn't they ask the husband she shared a bed with every day? Why bother to ask them instead?
It was intentional by the couple.
More than a decade ago, the four of them had each taken turns teaching her mathematics in a contest to see who was stronger, which ultimately ended in failure, all arriving at the conclusion that she lacked mathematical aptitude.
But in truth, it might have just been that they didn't know how to teach.
Had someone like her husband been teaching her back then, her achievements in mathematics might have surpassed their current levels.
Mr. Chen had realized this some time ago, and stepped forward to Song Jiaren, bowing deeply and saying, "In the past, I rashly made a judgment and led students astray, for which I offer you my apologies…"
He had started off, and the other three followed suit.
"We old men were wrong."
"I take back what I said back then…"
"We hope you can forgive us…"
…
For the academy masters, to admit they had "led students astray" showed that they truly felt remorse. Faced with this situation, Song Jiaren did not quite know how to respond.
Li Nuo came over, smiling, and said, "Hey, it's all in the past, why bring it up again, gentlemen…"
The men silently gave him a look.
They didn't need to think too hard to know that those difficult problems were given to the Song young lady by him, all for the sake of avenging her past grievances…
This mathematical master who appeared out of nowhere was not only young, but also petty.
However, they had to admit, he truly loved his wife.
Among the four, Mr. Chen was the most acquainted with Li Nuo.
After apologizing to the young lady of the Song family, Mr. Chen, thick-skinned, eventually took a sheet of paper and asked Li Nuo, "Mr. Li, these few problems, could you take a look…"
Li Nuo saw Song Yu enter the courtyard and thus said to Song Jiaren, "Wife, about how to solve those problems, why don't you teach the gentlemen?"
Song Jiaren was momentarily stunned.
Her?
Could she teach the gentlemen?
At that moment, Li Nuo had already walked to the entrance of the small courtyard. Song Yu was carrying two small jars of wine and handed them to Li Nuo, saying, "This is that fruit wine you said you liked last time. I managed to get two more jars for you…"
Li Nuo did not stand on ceremony, and after accepting the jar of alcohol, he asked, "How has it been at the academy these past few days? Has anyone been causing you trouble? If so, you must tell me."
Song Yu smiled and replied, "This time, there really hasn't been any."
It wasn't just that no one was looking for trouble with him; after Pei Jun left, the incident at the County Magistrate's Office had spread throughout the Qingfeng Academy. Now, everyone in the academy knew he had a formidable brother-in-law.
Not only did no one dare to trouble him, but even outside the academy, no one dared to fight.
Li Nuo felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this; it seemed that his plan to catch fighters by baiting with alcohol was not going to work out in the short term.
He couldn't encourage Song Yu to start trouble intentionally either. There had been many from Legalism who thought to take this shortcut, but it had proved to be a dead end.
Being forced to accept something was one thing; starting trouble on purpose was another.
Sometimes being too eager could backfire.
Looking at the two small jars of fruit wine, Song Yu cautioned Li Nuo, "Zhao Meng said these are the last two jars. If I steal any more, my family will notice. Drink them slowly; once they're gone, that's it..."
After speaking, he was about to leave when he seemed to notice something and suddenly halted.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he must be seeing things.
Several mathematics experts from Qingfeng Academy – how could they appear at the Song Residence, and moreover, be gathered around a stone table with utmost concentration, listening intently to a lecture? Even more incredulous was that the lecturer was Jiaren...

What was she talking about, the Martial Path?
Song Jiaren repeated what Li Nuo had taught her to the four teachers, asking, "Do you understand?"
The four exchanged glances but did not respond.
She might really understand, but because she was unclear in her explanation, they had not understood.
At that moment, the four seemed to grasp something.
Weren't they, at present, the same as she had once been?
As a qualified mathematics teacher, one not only had to understand mathematics themselves but, even more importantly, had to make their students understand their lessons.
In this latter aspect, whether it was the four of them or the young girl from the Song Family, they all fell short...
Their eyes all turned simultaneously towards the figure at the doorway.
He could make a six-year-old child understand the complex "Nine Numbers"; he was naturally suited to be a teacher who could enlighten and solve doubts.
If Qingfeng Academy had such a teacher, they would surely cultivate even more mathematical talents for Daxia.
A moment later, Li Nuo, looking at Mr. Chen with surprise, asked, "What, you want me to go to Qingfeng Academy to teach students mathematics?"
Another elder hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no, Mr. Li, you misunderstand. With your mathematical skills, teaching those unruly students would be a waste of your talent. We want to invite you to Qingfeng Academy to teach mathematics to the teachers..."
Li Nuo, of course, promptly refused their request.
Having some spare time each day to give them a lecture was one thing, but being a full-time teacher? Then he wouldn't have a life at all.
However, having taught Mumu so many times, Li Nuo found he was indeed quite suited to teaching.
His wife understood the material, but explaining it was another matter entirely.
It was tough to ask her to teach others; in the end, Li Nuo decided to take it upon himself.
He had only given half a lecture when a figure hurriedly ran into the courtyard.
Looking up, he saw it was County Captain Wang.
Li Nuo's mind raced; he had instructed the people at Chang'an County Government to come to the Song Residence immediately if there was a major crime case. By the looks of him, could it be that a big case had arisen?
Indeed, County Captain Wang hurried up to Li Nuo, panting, and said, "Young Master, there's been a murder!"
After waiting for so long and finally encountering a murder case, Li Nuo could not be bothered to continue his lecture. He immediately dropped the pen in his hand and said, "Lead the way!"
The few old teachers, engrossed in the lesson, could only watch helplessly as his figure disappeared from their sight.
The frustration at having almost grasped something at a crucial juncture but missing just a few pointers was unbearably uncomfortable. They could only turn their hopeful gazes towards Song Jiaren.
In the end, it was Mr. Chen who opened his mouth helplessly, "Song, how do you calculate this part? Please, explain it to us again..."
