Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 910: Nine hundred and eight, the last lesson

Upon hearing this, Old Master Li was startled. "Could it be Lu Hanmo’s wife who clashed with Shishun?" Who in Yan Country would dare to provoke Lu Hanmo and the Lu family?

Li’s father was also shocked. Although he was not a part of the Guard system, he had heard of Lu Hanmo’s renowned name.

He glared coldly at Li Shishun. If he dared to provoke Lu Hanmo, he would personally deliver him to Lu Hanmo to deal with as he saw fit.

Li Qiqi nodded, "I’ve already informed my brother of the other party’s identity and advised him not to provoke them. He wouldn’t give up, and that’s why we started arguing."

Old Master Li stood up and wielded his walking stick towards Li Shishun, "If you want to die, no one will stop you, but don’t drag our Li family down with you, you worthless fool! Do you think our Li family is invincible? Do you think we can provoke anyone we want?"

"Grandfather, stop hitting me, I know I was wrong, I definitely won’t provoke them, I promise, grandfather, ow, grandfather, I really know I was wrong," Li Shishun begged while trying to dodge.

Li’s mother wanted to intervene, but Li’s father held her back, "If you keep protecting him like this, he will inevitably get into trouble. Do you know whom he is trying to provoke? It’s an existence that could wipe out our Li family in an instant."

Li’s mother was somewhat incredulous. Their Li family in Jiangzhou was also a very powerful clan, only slightly inferior to the Ling Family.

"Do you think I’m joking? Do you know about the Song Family from before? The Song Family was the second most powerful family in Yan Country, but because they provoked the Lu family, they were exterminated overnight," Li’s father said gravely. He certainly did not want the Li family to follow the Song Family’s fate.

"Is it really that powerful?" Mother Li found it hard to believe.

"If you don’t believe it, you can call home and ask your father," Li’s father suggested. A friend of his father-in-law had been part of the Song Family circle, and when the Song Family fell, his friend was implicated as well.

After Li’s father had explained this much, if she still did not believe it, then she was only deceiving herself.

Looking at her son being chased by Old Master Li, Mother Li shook her head helplessly. She certainly did not want any trouble for the Li family either.

Life was peaceful, and in the blink of an eye, another three months had swiftly passed.

The Guard’s wives had learned many characters in these three months. Now, reading simple letters and performing arithmetic within a hundred was no longer too difficult for them.

All the Guard’s wives sat in the classroom, feeling somewhat downhearted. After today, Li Qiqi would be leaving the Guard District and would not come to teach them anymore, and their studies would come to an end as well.

Li Qiqi entered the classroom, placed her books on the desk, and smiled at the Guard’s wives, "I’m sure everyone already knows that today is our last class, right?" After spending so much time with the Guard’s wives, it was hard for her to leave, but she had already received her college admission letter and would be going to work at the school in a few days.

Teaching these Guard’s wives in the Guard District was part of her experiencing what it was like to be a teacher and also part of her internship. If she performed well during her internship, she could quickly gain her teaching credentials and be officially recruited by the school. Now, her performance had been recognized, and soon, she would become a proper teacher.

"Teacher Li, can’t you just not leave?"

"Yes! We still want to continue learning how to read and do arithmetic with you."

"Can you stay for a few more days, please?" the guards’ wives looked at Li Qiqi with hopeful eyes that were slightly red, some already crying on the table. They really didn’t want Li Qiqi to leave.

Originally, they learned to read simply hoping to find a job in the future to improve their present life. But now, they truly enjoyed learning to read. Only after learning did they realize that learning to read could be such an interesting and joyful pursuit. This is why they fell deeply in love with literacy.

Li Qiqi’s eyes reddened in an instant, too. She fought back the urge to cry, picked up the chalk, turned around, and wrote a line on the blackboard. Then, facing the guards’ wives, she said, "Today, let’s learn these words. Everyone repeat after me, ’The setting sun near to set behind Xianqiu City, and fallen reed flowers in disarray confuse my path.’

’The setting sun near to set behind Xianqiu City, and fallen reed flowers in disarray confuse my path.’ The guards’ wives started to read along, but they lacked their usual enthusiasm, filled instead with a tinge of sorrow and reluctance, their voices choked with sobs.

Li Qiqi sniffed hard to control her tears, "Very good, this is a verse from ’Drunken Song’ by the poet Li Bai. In today’s class, I’ll be teaching everyone this poem ’Drunken Song’."

She turned around and quickly wrote the following verses on the blackboard, ’Children of Xiangyang clap their hands in unison, blocking the streets to sing the "White copper Shoes." Passersby ask why such laughter, they laugh so hard Lord Mountain is drunk as mud. Cormorant ladle, Parrot cup. Thirty-six thousand days in a hundred years, yet one should drink three hundred cups a day. Viewing from afar the duckweed on the Han River green, just like new wine bubbling up at first fermentation. If this river could turn to spring wine, mounds for the yeast would rise high upon the banks...’

The guards’ wives stared at the verses on the blackboard, now they could understand most of them. Their only wish at the moment was for this lesson to go slower, much slower, ideally never to end.

But wishes are beautiful, while reality is often cruel.

"Goodbye, my sisters-in-law!" Li Qiqi picked up the textbook from the table, glanced at the guards’ wives with a smile, and took steps towards the classroom door. The moment she walked out of the classroom, Li Qiqi still shed tears.

Hearing the sobbing from the classroom, Li Qiqi really wanted to look back. She hesitated for a moment but continued walking forward. Parting is just an inevitable phase in life.

Li Qiqi walked out of the classroom, somewhat distracted because of her melancholy mood.

"If you keep walking, you’ll bump into the tree," a pleasant voice rang out.

Li Qiqi came back to her senses and realized that only two steps away stood a big tree. She turned her head and smiled at the person who had warned her, "Thank you!"

"You’re welcome!" Luo Shu replied with a slight smile, pushing the stroller and continuing her walk with the babies.

"Wait a second!" Li Qiqi quickly caught up with Luo Shu.

Luo Shu looked at Li Qiqi in surprise. She knew who Li Qiqi was.

"Hello! You must be Sister-in-law Lu, right? I am Li Qiqi, the teacher who taught the guards’ wives how to read. I’m very glad to meet you," Li Qiqi extended her hand as she spoke. She had always been curious about Luo Shu, but during her time in the Guard District, she had never encountered her. Unexpectedly, on the day she was leaving, she met her.

"Hello!" Luo Shu extended her hand and shook hands with Li Qiqi.

"I’ve known about you for a long time but sadly never had the chance to meet you. I have always wanted to apologize on behalf of my brother," Li Qiqi said.
