The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 217: Rewards for Efforts
Although some people knew about the relationship between Director Qiao and Li Wen, they never made it clear, and others didn’t expose them either. After all, Li Wen had used some tactics to get into the school back then. So, Director Qiao always advised Li Wen not to acknowledge their relationship at school to avoid attracting trouble.
Unfortunately, Li Wen was quite brainless, constantly causing small troubles that were nothing more than petty schemes.
Since these weren’t major issues, every time Director Qiao resolved them, people would give him face and not follow through. This made Li Wen even more out of control, thinking her uncle was quite capable.
Feeling extremely wronged by Director Qiao’s scolding, Li Wen stomped her foot and vented, "I don’t care. I won’t thank her. Who does she think she is? Does she even deserve it?"
Principal Jiang shook his head with a dark face, "Sharp-tongued, ignorant, and stubbornly unrepentant, she is nothing short of an eyesore... Director Qiao, how could you let someone like her into the school, who has such a lack of virtue, and keep her around to harm the future pillars of the nation?"
Director Qiao was left speechless, unable to refute, while Li Wen was still cluelessly arguing with Wu Qiao.
Director Qiao was so angry that his face turned green. He grabbed Li Wen and said to Principal Jiang, "I’ll take her home right now, I’m sorry."
With that, he dragged Li Wen away, not caring about her resistance at all.
Of course, even from far away, you could still hear Li Wen’s disgruntled shouting and cursing.
The others looked at each other in silence for a long time before Principal Jiang spoke up, "Let’s not spread today’s incident. It concerns our school’s reputation. And with the finals in half a month, Teacher Wang, you take over the homeroom position of Class Three and the math for Class Three and Four for now."
"Okay." Wang Miaomiao agreed readily. After all, it’s only half a month, and the new lessons were already completed; it’s just review now.
It seemed from Principal Jiang’s tone that Li Wen was going to be expelled, though they didn’t know if Director Qiao would still create trouble.
Two days later, Wang Miaomiao received the latest news from Wu Qiao that Director Qiao had arranged a transfer for Li Wen. Indeed, Director Qiao is quite resourceful, but it’s tough on the school that takes her in. Let’s hope she’ll behave well in the new environment and live her life properly.
At this point, Wang Miaomiao had already put Li Wen out of her mind. She was just an insignificant person; why bother being concerned?
Taking over Li Wen’s duties was not difficult for her. She had been there for more than three months and was familiar with the students in all grades; her classes were once a week, but the students appreciated her very much.
The students in Classes Three and Four were thrilled to hear that Wang Miaomiao would be taking over their math classes, immediately cheering.
They couldn’t be blamed; Li Wen was difficult to get along with, both with colleagues and students. She always acted superior and condescending, often mocking less capable students, which made her unpopular.
"Goodbye, Teacher Wang."
"Alright... goodbye, take care on your way home."
Wang Miaomiao was wearing a short black down jacket, jeans, black boots, a crossbody bag, and a beige scarf. On her head, she had a little bun tied up with a cherry-shaped crystal ornament. She looked vibrant and youthful as she walked, attracting a hundred percent of the attention.
She greeted her classmates along the way as she headed to the market.
After the policy came out, after more than two months of development, shops here sprouted up like mushrooms after the rain.
When Wang Miaomiao and Jiang Yan bought properties back then, they spent all their savings.
But she didn’t regret it; she just wanted to own a house. Money can always be earned and saved again, but once a house is in her name, it’s her security, her sense of belonging here.
Of course, she knew she didn’t have much money, so she discussed with Jiang Yan. The small apartment would be under her name, and the courtyard would be under his name.
Jiang Yan didn’t say anything at the time, but when he got the property deed, both properties were in her name.
Well, she couldn’t reason with him. That man has always been stubborn, never looking back once he decided on something.
Wang Miaomiao has come to terms with it now. The man treats her so well, she’s already deeply in love and can only follow his steps to the end.
After buying the house, they naturally had to inform both families.
When they were called back to the Jiang Family for a meal, both Old Master Jiang and Mr. Jiang slipped her a big red envelope each.
Wang Miaomiao really couldn’t refuse and had to accept them with a thick skin.
The elders’ intentions for their children, if she said more, they would start to get angry.
And when Wang Yulan heard that they spent all their savings on a house and planned to bring them over to live with rooms already prepared, she couldn’t be happier.
The daughter and son-in-law thinking of them, preparing a room for them, this gesture was deeply felt by Liu Yulan and Wang Baoxing. They didn’t know if they would actually come to live, but for now, they were extremely happy and proud.
A lifetime dedicated to their children, when they’re old, they just hope their children have them in their hearts.
Wang Yulan was so happy at the time, she didn’t forget to advise her daughter that once the house was furnished, start by welcoming the in-laws and showing filial piety. Since Old Master Jiang and Mr. Jiang treated her well, she should remember this. Interacting with people is about mutual goodness, and only when everyone is good will things be better...
Wang Miaomiao naturally agreed wholeheartedly. In her past life, she worked hard outside for over ten years without being able to be filial to her parents, which was her last regret.
This life, she intended to prioritize family. Besides, Old Master Jiang and Mr. Jiang’s kindness warmed her heart, how could she be stingy with her gratitude?
A few days later, she received a letter from J City, inside was a remittance slip of a full thousand yuan, sent by Liu Yulan, with a note saying it was for her spending money. It reassured her that even if she spent all her savings on a house, she shouldn’t be afraid, and definitely shouldn’t let herself suffer, as she had her parents.
Tears sparkled in Wang Miaomiao’s eyes as she held the remittance slip, smiling.
With money in hand, and coinciding with the tide of reform, Wang Miaomiao knew that starting a business now would earn them a lot.
But she didn’t want to deal with small businesses; while profitable, they were exhausting.
She intended to live like a carefree fish, content with small riches. She wasn’t going to exhaust herself.
Moreover, she was still teaching and preparing for the 1977 college entrance exams, keeping her busy with no time for entrepreneurship.
However, she could invest in real estate. Beijing’s property market was a sure-win investment.
So, after some discussion, the couple picked the right location and bought two more single-story houses to use as shops, renting them out first.
Later, they would wait for demolition... hehe...
"Young landlady, off work?" Without realizing it, she already arrived at the market. Her shop was nearby, and every time she passed by to buy groceries, the tenant would warmly engage her in conversation.
