Chapter 342 Teacher Yuan Has Poor Taste

Chapter 342: Teacher Yuan’s Judgment Is Truly Poor

At the end of July, Jiang Li gave birth to a chubby baby boy at home.

Weighing in at a robust seven pounds and two ounces, he caused Jiang Li to cry out in pain all night long, but indeed, he was a big, healthy baby boy.

He often held the child, laughing foolishly, and was utterly reluctant to let go.

Chang Li, this "hero," was doted upon as if she were the apple of everyone's eye.

When Jiang Yu came to deliver the eggs, he took a glance and felt that this child really resembled Jiang Hao, especially with those squinting eyes.

"Quite plump, have you named it yet?" Jiang Yu asked.

Jiang Li sat on the kang, her face somewhat pale, yet exuding a maternal glow that softened and calmed her entire being.

"I've already picked a nickname for him, Mao Dan. We'll wait for his father to choose a proper name."

Jiang Yu: "..." Everyone believes that a humble name brings good luck, but if I ever have a child, I certainly won’t give them such an ugly name.

Zeng Chang had no parents; it was Yang Cuilan who came to attend to him during his convalescence.

Hearing that Jiang Li had given birth to a boy, her face had never lost its smile.

"Jiang Yu has arrived."

She walked in with the egg drop soup and handed it to Jiang Li to drink, while chatting casually with Jiang Yu.

"Have you heard about Du Juan’s fake pregnancy?"

Jiang Yu nodded, "How are things now?"

Yang Cuilan was thrilled, "Du Juan, she had already found a lover on the side, and now she has eloped with him!"

Jiang Yu was stunned, "Eloped?"

"Exactly! She faked her pregnancy just to swindle money, and when she ran away, she took all the money from your house. Your mother was crying her eyes out."

As Yang Cuilan spoke, she observed Jiang Yu's expression.

Noticing that her face showed no emotion, as if it had nothing to do with her, she thought Jiang Yu was really cold-hearted.

"Don't you want to go home and look?"

Jiang Yu smiled, "We've already signed the separation agreement, what's there to look at?"

What kind of people are the Du family? They still dared to accept Du Juan as their daughter-in-law, letting a wolf into their house, and now they want her to clean up the mess?

"I still need to go to the department store, so I won't talk anymore. Sis. Li, take good care of yourself during your postpartum recovery."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."

After Jiang Yu left, Yang Cuilan went through the things she had brought.

Besides eggs, there were also two pieces of cloth, enough to make several sets of clothes for the child.

She also brought some fabric scraps, which would be good for making diapers.

Yang Cuilan muttered, "She's quite generous, isn't she?"

While Jiang Li might not have much affection for Jiang Yu, she agreed with her statement.

"She has a good situation and has been promoted. Her salary is sky-high, and she has always been generous to us. Do you know why she went to the department store? She said her sister-in-law got a job assignment, and she wants to buy her a couple of nice clothes."

Yang Cuilan tsked twice, "Her own parents don't even care, but she's quite good to her sister-in-law."

"Jiang Yu married into the He family, so she's part of the He family now, after all. She can't always be thinking about supporting her birth family."

Yang Cuilan slapped her arm, "Just because you're married, you're not my daughter anymore?"

Jiang Li muttered, "It's different, I don't have in-laws, and my husband doesn't have any siblings. You just wait for us to look after you."

Yang Cuilan smiled smugly, puffing out her chest, feeling that she had foresight, and it was a wise decision to have Jiang Li marry Zeng Chang.

As soon as they parked their bicycles, Jiang Yu and He Feiyan arrived at the department store and heard her exclaim.

"It's Teacher Yuan's boyfriend!"

Jiang Yu looked in the direction she pointed and felt that the man looked oddly familiar.

"Didn't you say her boyfriend was fooling around and they had broken up?"

At this, He Feiyan was furious.

"Last time I saw Teacher Yuan, I found out they had reconciled!"

Jiang Yu glanced at her, "You didn't say anything, right?"

"No, I wanted to, but I didn't dare."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh, gently pinching her ear.

"It's rare for even Fei Yan to hold her tongue."

He Feiyan's face fell, "But that scoundrel is really no good at all. Teacher Yuan has such poor taste, going around and ending up with someone like that."

The more Jiang Yu looked at the man, the more familiar he seemed. The man was holding hands with a woman beside him, their relationship definitely not ordinary.

Suddenly, a scene popped into her mind, and she remembered!

"This man, is he really Teacher Yuan's boyfriend?"

He Feiyan said, "How could it be fake? He's been dating our Teacher Yuan for seven years, from when she was eighteen until now, dragging his feet and not marrying her. His behavior is bad, I've seen it several times myself."

But Teacher Yuan just wouldn't break up with him, always thinking she's getting older, and if they break up now, she's worried she won't be able to marry later.

But this man clearly just wants to drag it out, not breaking up and not getting married, and Teacher Yuan is foolishly stuck in it.

Jiang Yu's expression was complicated. Of course, this male comrade didn't want to get married, because he liked men!

She still remembers the scene from when she went to the movies with He Tingyue, two male comrades sitting together holding hands in front of them.

One of them was Teacher Yuan's boyfriend.

"You should still advise your Teacher Yuan, wasting time on such a person isn't worth it."

He Feiyan shrugged, "I want to advise her, but I can't persuade her."

Jiang Yu looked away and took her inside to shop for clothes.

The overwhelming variety of clothes was enough to make the two sisters-in-law forget their troubles.

Jiang Yu picked out two shirts for He Feiyan, one of which was made of polyester.

Not stopping there, she also picked out a calf-length skirt that looked especially chic with a pair of small leather shoes.

He Feiyan held the skirt up to herself. "Sis, isn’t the neckline too wide?"

"No, you’ve got a broad frame, and if it’s too snug, it’ll make you look boxy. This way, it looks very nice."

Jiang Yu didn’t even check the price and told them to wrap it up right away.

After shopping, they bumped into the classmate who had brought He Feiyan news the last time.

After He Feiyan formally introduced her to Jiang Yu, she learned that the classmate's name was Fang Caixia.

Fang Caixia’s personality was a lot like He Feiyan’s—outgoing and a bit scatterbrained.

She was with another classmate, Jiang Ningning, who was in He Feiyan’s class.

"Fei Yan, have you gotten your assignment yet?"

He Feiyan nodded. "I got assigned to Funan Commune."

Fang Caixia gasped, "Doesn’t that mean you’re being sent to the countryside? Ningning, didn’t you see last time that Fei Yan was supposed to go to Bali Elementary?"

She’d been thinking it over the past few days and was sure she hadn’t misremembered; He Feiyan was indeed assigned to a school near the neighborhood office.

Even if she hadn’t bumped into He Feiyan today, she’d planned to stop by her place.

Jiang Ningning forced a smile, looked away, and shook her head. "I forgot."

Fang Caixia looked at her in astonishment, "How could you forget? I even brought it up a couple of times, saying how lucky Fei Yan was."

Jiang Ningning kept shaking her head, insisting she’d really forgotten.

Seeing how sure Fang Caixia was, Jiang Yu finally started to take it seriously.

"Caixia, where did you get assigned?"

Fang Caixia replied, "I got lucky—I’m assigned to Xicheng."

"What about Ningning?"

Jiang Ningning wasn’t expecting the question and stammered, "Bali Elementary."

Fang Caixia frowned again; she’d asked Jiang Ningning just a couple of days ago, and she’d said her assignment hadn’t come through yet.

"Ningning, so you got assigned to Bali Elementary? Why didn’t you tell me?" she muttered.

Jiang Ningning forced a smile. "I was going to tell you today."

He Feiyan didn’t seem bothered and wanted to pick up some face cream, so she said goodbye to Fang Caixia and left with Jiang Yu.
