She Only Cares About Cultivation

Chapter 1631: Chapter 1070: Heroine of the Republic 44

Although the words say otherwise, the captain can still sense the hidden meaning behind An Yi’s polite remarks. To put it bluntly, it’s the gossip brought by the Yi family that has burdened her psychologically.

Since it’s hard to reason with them or stop them, hiding is the best solution.

As the saying goes: "If I can’t afford to provoke them, can’t I afford to hide from them?"

Think about it, she came to their camp alone, saved two women in succession, and adopted two children. That’s something even he might not be able to do.

The so-called bad reputation is all born out of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Most of them have no conflict with An Yi and don’t think poorly of her. It’s just that some people didn’t take advantage and couldn’t stand others living better, so they tried every way to ruin a person’s name.

Actually, there are people like that everywhere. Now that Teacher An has avoided them, it’s not a bad thing — out of sight, out of mind!

However, the camp should take it seriously, especially these new Yi family members, regardless of whether they are truly a veteran family. The captain is a bit impatient with them, since they are over twenty people, just with mouths to feed?

Can’t do their work properly, can only slack off, definitely won’t work hard, lazy to the bone, totally incomparable to Teacher An.

He even suspects whether the information from the Martyr Cemetery got it wrong?

The Yi family’s lazy style clearly contradicts their veteran family status; they instead resemble impostors pretending to be veterans for benefits.

When An Yi first came to their camp, the County Military Support Office and the Civil Affairs Bureau both came with her. If Teacher An hadn’t made a significant contribution, would she have received such attention?

The house was earned through her relationships; what does that have to do with any veteran family status?

While the county takes pride in the "Veteran Family Glory," receiving benefits, tax exemptions, and more subsidies, many benefit from it but have never heard of anyone able to build a house.

Teacher An is truly outstanding within several villages. When mistakes were discovered, she decisively offered her house to them, not because she felt guilty, but because she was kind-hearted, seeing the whole Yi family without a place to live while she was alone. If she didn’t offer her house, the outcome could be worse, as they would continuously pester Teacher An.

With Teacher An’s keen eyes, how could she not see how troublesome this family is?

Indeed, their greed is endless. Not satisfied with the new house, they even benefited from the hard-earned crops and vegetables, yet never utter a good word, even insisting on staying at her home, what for?

If the new house cannot accommodate them, then they schemed to take over her old house? Is this how things are done?

After being refused, they spread all sorts of nasty words, and there are even people supporting them, what kind of people are these?

The captain’s principles are upright, he disdains these people, so upon discovering An Yi not returning for days, he promptly went to the school to work on thoughts.

After all, with Teacher An’s spirit of selfless dedication, there’s not a second person like her in the whole Baijiawan production team.

For children from struggling families, she finds a way to assist. The teachers working with her and the children have never said anything bad about her.

Shouldn’t a teacher like her be treasured by their production team?

If he doesn’t pay attention and An Yi is wronged and leaves unappreciated, where would he cry? After all, Teacher An is an officially recognized teacher, with county schools competing to hire her; her reluctance to leave the village school is purely out of gratitude. If they remain unimpressed, what does that make them?

"If Teacher An truly doesn’t want to return to the village, will you stay at the village school at night? Isn’t there a dormitory? That way, you won’t have to rush, especially with two children, goodness, it’s really tough. Why were you so agreeable back then and gave up your house?"

The captain’s heart is truly troubled, An Yi quickly interrupts him: "I’m fine. I’ve already adjusted the village school classes to the afternoon. If there are any changes in the future, I’ll discuss it with the other teachers. Rest assured, I won’t affect the children’s lessons; moving them to the afternoon is better. After finishing two classes in the afternoon, I can guide the children to practice more. As you know, most third-grade kids practice in the sandbox, few could afford pencils and notebooks. I’ll help supply all third-grade kids with notebooks to practice holding a pen, while first and second grades remain focused on sandbox practice. If third-grade kids can’t learn to hold a pen, then it’ll be much harder in fourth and fifth grades."
