Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 53 Painful Teaching

Li Sui was so busy gossiping in the group that she was stuffed.

Since they had lost contact for several years, now that Granny Zhang has fallen, her niece-in-law comes to see her, ostensibly to take care of her.

Who can't see the intention behind this?
In the years before, Li Sui would occasionally visit Granny Zhang, but he had never heard of these things.

I've started to get curious about Granny Zhang's son.

She called Li Ping privately and asked, "What exactly does Grandma Zhang's son do? I heard he's been working for so many years and hasn't come back more than a few times."

Li Ping: "What else could she be doing? You can guess, her son works in a classified unit."

Li Ping had never met Granny Zhang's son, but she had heard Granny Zhang mention him a few times. In her words, she did not express any dissatisfaction with her son not returning for so many years, so it was probably not a matter of filial impiety.

Li Sui's tone was full of admiration: "It seems she works for the country, but Granny Zhang is quite old, she's seventy years old. This fall was really an accident. Her son isn't coming back, so she'll have to hire a caregiver or something, right?"

Li Ping clicked her tongue: "Grandma Zhang has a nanny, but she didn't tell you how she fell, did she?"

Li Sui asked curiously, "Didn't you fall by accident?"

Li Ping: "She was sending gifts to the male streamer in the middle of the night and was so excited by him that she didn't sleep until 3 a.m. She got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but she didn't see the light properly and slipped and fell."

Li Sui: "...How did you know?"

Li Ping: "I just called her nanny to ask. The nanny said that Grandma Zhang is like this now. When she is there, she will force Grandma Zhang to go to bed early. The other day, she went back to her hometown to deal with something, and Grandma Zhang fell."

Li Sui was even more puzzled: "How did the nanny know why Grandma Zhang fell after she went home?"

“The nanny was also in the live stream room. Later, she noticed that Grandma Zhang was online but not sending any gifts. Feeling uneasy, she called back, but no one answered. She then called the police, who came and found her. The police also took her to the hospital.”

"I was wondering why she didn't tell us when she fell this time. She must have been too embarrassed to tell us."

Li Sui: “…”

Li Ping is quite capable; she can get along with everyone in the neighborhood.

The fact that this woman has a daughter who is notorious for bullying everyone in the neighborhood and can still get along so well in various community groups shows that she is indeed quite shrewd and has high emotional intelligence.

Didn't you see that even Li Sui couldn't get into the group, yet she was in it?
His network of connections is extensive.

Li Sui couldn't help but sigh: "Mom, if you have time, you should also try to persuade her. Grandma Zhang is so old, how can she still give gifts to male streamers? What kind of behavior is that? What if she gets scammed by the male streamer? Look at how many such cases there are in the news!"

"She knows her limits. The nanny was hired by her son to take care of her, and he usually takes care of her. The old lady is always lonely when she's alone. If you spend a few hundred or a thousand yuan on a male streamer who's sweet-talking and can flatter you for a month, she'll get maximum emotional value. It's a win-win situation, so what's wrong with that? Don't meddle in the old rich woman's business."

"..." Li Sui felt it was unusual for Li Ping to know so much. Li Ping also watched these short videos regularly, so she couldn't help but say, "Mom, you don't watch these male streamers too, do you?"

"What are you talking about? The stuff that old ladies watch is greasy and disgusting. They can still make some money off old women by using filters at their age. I'm not old enough to appreciate that kind of aesthetic."

Just as Li Sui was relieved, she heard Li Ping say, "I like younger girls. Kids these days are all sensible. You wouldn't have found such a wonderful thing back when the internet wasn't so developed."

Li Sui: “…”

Li Ping was also afraid that Li Sui would scold her, so she quickly hung up the phone.

Li Sui didn't expect that her mother was one of them, and after thinking about it, she decided to let it go.

She enjoys watching it herself.

When you see handsome men and beautiful women on your social media feed, just give them a like.

Because of poverty, liking photos after appreciating beauty is just a way of showing my appreciation.

Li Sui decided to buy the house, and all that was left was to wait for Grandma Zhang to be discharged from the hospital to complete the transfer of ownership.

Since she didn't have to worry about finding a job and had money in her pocket, Li Sui indulged in a life of luxury and decadence these past few days.

I sometimes even dare to order crab roe noodles that cost several hundred yuan when ordering takeout.

After eating, he would lie at home, indulging in a life of pleasure and debauchery, marveling that the ultimate enjoyment in the world was nothing more than this. Because he was a poor man who had suddenly become rich, he didn't value material things, and since he couldn't leave for the time being, he couldn't think of any more sophisticated ways to enjoy life.

Yu Liangliang, on the other hand, was extremely busy.

His busyness wasn't reflected in his work; the studio had just been established and there wasn't much for him to do yet. The only thing he had to do was teach Guan Zhong and Zhi Niang to recognize pinyin.

The weaver was alright because she already had a basic level of literacy, so she could recognize modern Chinese characters relatively quickly.

Guan Zhong was no match for him.

That was truly a hopeless case of academic failure.

Yu Liangliang now understands why her neighbor used to yell so hard every day to help her child with homework.

She went from a composed and beautiful woman to looking several years older in less than a year after her child started elementary school.

He was so desperate.

When Zhiniang officially joined the crew to study the script and film, he would find a secluded corner to tutor Guan Zhong in recognizing characters.

First, we learned pinyin through online classes, being taught letter by letter. After that, we started building words.

"Come and repeat after me, 'chī wǔ àng chuang'. 'Chuang' is a character that can be used in the word 'chéng dàng' (闯荡). It is pronounced in the third tone. But 'chī wǔ àng chuang' is a character that can be used in the word 'window' (窗). It is pronounced in the first tone."

Guan Zhong followed along, saying, "Eat, crow, scramble—'eat' is a sound, so how does it become 'scramble' when it comes into contact with 'crow'?"

"This, this..."

Yu Liangliang started tearing at her hair in agony again.

His pronunciation is actually fine; after all, he's an adult, so learning from him is no problem.

However, after studying for several days, Guan Zhong still didn't understand why this pinyin was pronounced this way.

Different initial sounds can be combined to form another word.

His eyes were filled with clear stupidity and confusion.

Seeing that even a good-natured young man like Yu Liangliang was beginning to show a ferocious look in his eyes, Guan Zhong, who was basically invincible, shrank into a corner and dared not utter a sound.

He still respects learned people.

In those days, it was impossible for children from poor families to learn to read.

"No, it's too vague for me to just teach you through online classes and then review with you. I need to find you a private teacher to start teaching you from kindergarten pinyin."

Kindergartens are now teaching 300 Tang poems!

Yu Liangliang was preparing to move the victims; he simply couldn't take it anymore.

He really can't teach Brother Zhong.

Besides, he wasn't a professional teacher; he was simply forced into this role by Li Sui.

Out of consideration for Li Sui's financial contribution, Yu Liangliang silently endured everything.

Seeing that Yu Liangliang had also suffered quite a bit, Guan Zhong stammered, "I'm sorry, Brother Liang, I'm a rough man and have never learned to read. I'm really too stupid..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Liangliang felt guilty again.

“It’s not that I have a problem with you, Brother Zhong, but we have professional teachers here. I’m not a professional in this field, so I don’t know how to teach you. Just forcing you to recognize it won’t work.”

"I need to hire an assistant to follow the weaver, and then I'll take you to a tutoring class for individual study."
