Chapter 398: Do Not Mess with My Family
Lu Jiaxin smiled at Er Sao's continued scolding and said, "Er Sao, don't worry. I won't have anything to do with that family from now on. As for the two job openings, the temporary position won't last long, and the permanent position at the construction company involves heavy labor. It depends on whether he can endure the hardship."
With the scarcity of jobs nowadays, the two positions obtained by the Ding family must have come at the expense of others. Those who were pushed out would surely seek revenge.
Er Sao's mood improved slightly, and she stopped scolding, "Jiaxin, Gou Sheng's illness has healed. Let Shanzi follow you to Gangcheng!"
Lu Jiaxin nodded, "I've already arranged for Shanzi's travel documents. He can come with me when the time comes."
Hearing this, Er Sao felt relieved.
Lu Jiaxin then asked about Xiaoqiu, "How is Xiaoqiu doing with that male teacher? They haven't been in contact anymore, have they?"
Er Sao replied, "I followed your suggestion and told that man that if he truly wanted to be with Xiaoqiu, he should ask her parents to send a matchmaker. But that scumbag kept making excuses. When Xiaoqiu found out, she went to the school to confront him and learned that he already had a partner."
It was despicable to pursue Xiaoqiu while being committed to someone else. Such a person's character was questionable.
Er Sao sighed, "Xiaoqiu cried all night after she found out. The next day, she went back to work as usual. I was so worried about her that I didn't dare bring up the topic again for fear of upsetting her."
Lu Jiaxin found it hard to believe, "Er Sao, how could you give up on that scumbag so easily? This doesn't sound like you!"
Er Sao was helpless. Xiaoqiu was still a young girl, and making a scene would affect her reputation. They had no choice but to endure this injustice.
"Why don't you write an anonymous letter to expose them?" Lu Jiaxin suggested.
Er Sao let out a bitter laugh, "I've written three letters, but nothing came of it. We can't confront them directly, or people will blame Xiaoqiu for being promiscuous. This incident has already dealt a huge blow to her, and she won't be able to handle any more rumors or gossip."
The love and protection of parents knew no bounds, even for someone as fierce as Er Sao, who had to soften her thorns for the sake of her children.
"Er Sao, you should have told me about this earlier," Lu Jiaxin said. "I wouldn't have known otherwise, but now that I do, there's no way she's going to let that man off the hook. Moreover, such a despicable person being a high school teacher, who knows what he might do in the future. In this age of information explosion, some people have no boundaries."
Er Sao shook her head, "I didn't intentionally hide it from you. I was just worried that you would go and comfort Xiaoqiu. She hasn't fully recovered from the incident yet, and bringing it up repeatedly will only make her more upset."
Lu Jiaxin had intended to talk to Xiaoqiu, but upon hearing this, she immediately dropped the idea. Such matters needed to be resolved by the individual; others' words would be of little use.
After Er Sao left, Lu Jiaxin discussed the matter with Gu Wenfeng, "Look into that man. I don't believe he's only deceived Xiaoqiu. There must be more victims."
Xiaoqiu's interaction with that man had been brief, and their relationship was never confirmed. Even the family was unaware of the situation. However, Er Sao didn't want the news to spread and affect Xiaoqiu's reputation, so she had to seek alternative solutions.
Gu Wenfeng was both shocked and furious, "Boss, he's a high school teacher?"
Seeing his angry expression, Lu Jiaxin muttered, "Such things are common, you just don't hear about them often."
Teachers without moral integrity posed a danger to their students. Gu Wenfeng vowed, "Boss, rest assured. Such scum must be removed from the teaching profession."
If Xiaoqiu hadn't left home to make a living at a young age, she would have been in high school now. Therefore, it was crucial to remove such a person from the school to ensure the safety of the students.
Gu Wenfeng quickly took action, and by the next afternoon, he informed Lu Jiaxin that the scumbag had been fired from his teaching position.
Lu Jiaxin was surprised at his speed. "Why was it so quick?"
A look of hatred crossed Gu Wenfeng's face as he replied, "In addition to Xiaoqiu, he also flirted with two other girls at the night school. One of them rejected him, but he managed to deceive the other into dating him. Last night, he had a date with that girl, and my people caught them red-handed."
He sighed as he continued, "When they were caught, the girl insisted that they were just dating. She refused to believe that he already had a partner and was preparing to get married."
Lu Jiaxin asked gently, "Was the girl hurt?"
Gu Wenfeng understood the underlying meaning of her question. "No. The two of them hadn't been dating for long, and it didn't go beyond hand-holding."
The main point was that their relationship was very brief. If it weren't for Lu Jiaxin's intervention, that man would have eventually taken advantage of the girl, given his character.
"That's good," Lu Jiaxin said. "Otherwise, that girl would have been ruined." In those more conservative times, if a girl lost her virginity, her future husband would likely reject her. Without a man, life would be difficult.
Lu Jiaxin felt that they shouldn't let the scumbag off easily. "We must expose his crimes publicly; otherwise, there will be more girls falling for his tricks."
Gu Wenfeng nodded in agreement.
In the evening, Lu Jiaxin called Er Sao and informed her of the latest developments. "Being fired is not enough. I want to ruin his reputation."
Er Sao's voice choked with gratitude as she heard this. "Jiaxin, thank you so much."
Her daughter had become quiet and withdrawn after being deceived, and Er Sao's heart ached for her. She also hated that good-for-nothing man, but she dared not confront him for fear of damaging her daughter's reputation. Now, thanks to Jiaxin, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Er Sao, we are family," Lu Jiaxin said. "When Xiaoqiu is wronged, I, as her aunt, will definitely stand up for her. Don't worry about her being sad and avoiding the topic. Tell her what happened so she can learn a lesson and not be fooled again in the future."
"Let me think about it," Er Sao replied.
After some hesitation, she went to Xiaoqiu's room and relayed what Lu Jiaxin had told her. "Xiaoqiu, that man is nothing but a beast. Someone like him isn't worth your tears."
Half an hour later, Lu Jiaxin saw Xiaoqiu, her eyes red and swollen. "Have you thought it through?"
She had been worried about Xiaoqiu, who was young and attractive, and bound to attract many suitors. Meeting the right person could lead to a happy marriage, but someone with ill intentions could be dangerous. Xiaoqiu had been unlucky to encounter such a scumbag, but thankfully, she had only been deceived emotionally and not financially or physically.
Xiaoqiu, her eyes still red and puffy, said, "Aunt, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have thought that I was just too late and would never have known that he was such a beast."
She had originally thought that they were simply not meant to be, but it turned out that he was a player, deceiving one girl after another.
Lu Jiaxin's mouth twitched. It seemed that these scumbags all used the same tactics. She comforted Xiaoqiu, "This is just a small bump in your life. You'll get over it. But you've worried your parents sick with your stubbornness."
Xiaoqiu apologized guiltily to her mother, Er Sao.
Lu Jiaxin advised, "In the future, if you like someone, bring him home to meet your parents. They interact with many people through their business, and they'll be able to tell if he's a good or bad person."
"Okay," Xiaoqiu agreed.
