Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2462: Chapter 2459: Song Hong, Principal of Yonghe School

Later, I worked as an assistant teacher at a renowned academy in the capital, frequently visiting Yonghe Bookstore to copy books, and over time, I got acquainted with the shopkeeper there.

Afterwards, when Ye Muyu needed a master to teach, she ended up finding this person.

Song Hong knew Ye Muyu and respectfully said, “Lady, please come in. I didn’t know you would visit today, please forgive my neglect.”

“It’s nothing.” Ye Muyu didn’t mind this at all; she only needed Song Hong to take good care of the school.

“You don’t have any classes this morning, so come with me. I have some matters I wish to discuss.”

“Yes.” Song Hong received a salary from the Chu family for teaching, so he naturally held her in great respect.

“Nuanbao, do you want to audit the class?” Ye Muyu squatted down and asked Nuanbao for his opinion, just as she usually did.

Song Hong found it unusual; the Young Master seemed quite young, yet the lady consulted him as if he were an adult, which was somewhat rare.

Though he felt surprised, he didn’t show it on his face, nor did he have any other thoughts.

Nuanbao could now understand some ordinary conversational language.

He obediently nodded, patted Ye Muyu’s shoulder to reassure her, and then reached out to Chun Xing. Only after Chun Xing held his hand did he take small steps, walking ahead.

Ye Muyu handed Nuanbao over to Chun Xing and Liuye.

She herself, along with Su Mei, followed Song Hong to the main guest room to talk. “Director Song, have you taken care of the previous matter?” Ye Muyu sipped her tea, referring to the incident where the children became ill due to poisoning. Although they later discovered that it was the handiwork of the Qi family, it did affect the school’s reputation.

Later, Ye Muyu entrusted this matter to Song Hong; she only knew that the students’ parents had stopped causing trouble and the students had calmed down, but she wasn’t aware of the specific process, mainly because she didn’t have time to handle this at that moment, so she didn’t ask more.

Song Hong found it strange why she was asking about such a long past matter, but he didn’t dare to question her and answered honestly: “It has all been resolved. I arranged for a few trustworthy parents to take turns cooking meals at the school and handed over the person who poisoned to the yamen for processing. The compensation received was used to subsidize the sick students. However, some parents took advantage of the situation and were bribed. I personally visited them, presented evidence, and made them voluntarily relinquish the compensation, and told them about their children. It was agreed that they would get one last chance; if they again committed acts damaging the school’s reputation and harming others, these students would have to be expelled and bear the necessary consequences.”

“However, it wasn’t spread within the school, so naturally, the students didn’t ostracize those whose parents made mistakes but felt guilty and scared. As a result, managing the students became easier.”

“Oh?” Ye Muyu did not expect Song Hong to be so flexible in his thinking, both punishing and warning the parents while protecting the students’ self-esteem.

“Director Song, you’ve handled this matter well. However, you might consider appointing some of these well-behaved students as class monitors to guide and manage other students. In this way, the students might better understand gratitude and collective honor.”

“You are right, my lady.” Song Hong’s eyes brightened upon hearing this; he hadn’t thought of this aspect.

“I will go and arrange it shortly.”
