Chapter 1593 - 1595: A Reasonable Explanation
Chapter 1593 - 1595: A Reasonable Explanation
Li Chuntao sat in the car, speaking openly, "Previously I ordered some items from the town’s furniture store for the children’s literacy lessons. Today, I have time, so I thought I’d go to the town to check if they’re ready. As a result, I bumped into Yang Family Fourth Brother in town. Since I bought some things, I hitched a ride back with him. I wasn’t really willing to, fearing people might misunderstand, but I couldn’t find another ride in town, so I had to take his car."
This was the first time Li Chuntao addressed Yang Dong as Yang Family Fourth Brother, but it was said to the villagers.
The first time she spoke to Yang Dong was in a teahouse in town, disrupting Yang Dong’s matchmaking event. At that time, she addressed Yang Dong as Young Master Yang.
The last time Yang Dong knocked on the wrong door, she was so surprised that she called out his name, addressing him as Yang Dong.
But since then, whenever she saw Yang Dong again, she would talk without addressing him.
Upon hearing Li Chuntao call him Yang Family Fourth Brother, Yang Dong was somewhat startled. It was the first time Li Chuntao addressed him this way, although it was said to the villagers.
When she mentioned going to town for the schoolchildren, everyone believed her, thinking her explanation was reasonable. Now living in the same village, catching a ride with a fellow villager’s car was normal.
Besides, the young lady from the wealthy family is such a capable person, she surely wouldn’t have any involvement with Yang Dong.
After all, Yang Dong is engaged. Even if he weren’t, it’s not certain he’d be good enough for her. Though Yang Dong’s family might be wealthy now, he’s still a peasant at heart, lacking in education, while the young lady from a wealthy family is educated, and surely seeks someone educated.
So one by one, people started saying, "Miss Li, where did you get such an idea, how could we misunderstand?"
"Exactly, we all live in the same village, catching a ride is perfectly normal."
"Exactly, Miss Li, are the literacy materials for the children ready?"
"..."

Hearing everyone’s words, Yang Dong thought that Li Chuntao was right. Coming in openly and explaining things clearly prevented any misinterpretations from the villagers. If they’d followed his idea of getting off midway and entering the village one after the other, they would find it hard to explain if people found out.
"Miss Li, your school is truly wonderful. Our child has become much more sensible after attending it for just a few days."
"Yes, yes, even our child seems more sensible. Let me tell you, yesterday our Sanya bumped her head on the corner of a table and cried out in pain. I said it was the table’s fault and pretended to scold it to comfort her. But our Huzi saw it and lectured me on the matter, can you guess what he said?"
"What did he say?"
"He said you can’t blame the table just because it can’t speak. It’s been sitting there unmoving, and if not for his little sister’s carelessness, she wouldn’t have bumped into it. The table is not at fault; it can’t talk. If it could, it would defend itself. Blaming the table and hitting it teaches a bad lesson, telling his little sister to blame others instead of finding the reason in herself."
"Oh my, your Huzi is quite young, and he can speak such wise words!"
"Yes, I was shocked too and thought, isn’t this exactly the point he’s making? I asked him how he could say such things, and he said it was taught by his teacher at the school. Do you think sending the children there is the right choice?"
