The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

"Teacher Ou, I heard your birthday is coming up, so here’s a little something from me."

Ou Liya smiled and tried to refuse, "Junyou’s mom, I appreciate the thought, but let’s not do this with the gift. You should take it back."

"It’s nothing expensive, just a silver bracelet."

Wu Mei insisted as she pushed the jewelry box into Ou Liya’s hands, "Teacher Ou, aren’t you taking it because you think the gift is too light?"

Upon hearing Wu Mei’s words, Ou Liya accepted the gift.

"Then, thank you very much."

"What’s there to thank for? I will still need you to look after my Junyou in the future. By the way, Teacher Ou, Junyou told me he can’t hear very well during class. Could you see if there’s a way to move him to a seat where he can hear better? If he can’t hear the lessons clearly, how can his grades improve, right?"

Ou Liya nodded, "Yes."

Wu Mei hurriedly thanked her, and then shifted the topic, "Teacher Ou, some parents are so full of themselves just because their child gets good grades. They don’t consider that without your special attention, could their son achieve such results? In my opinion, the good seats in the first row should be taken turns by everyone, why should her son be an exception."
