The Young Matriarch

The young teacher came over in a flash and snatched the porcelain bottle from Li Juan’s hands. He dropped the books he was holding and carefully scrutinized the bottle in his hands. His expression became increasingly complicated.

Li Juan was taken aback by his actions. She asked curiously. “Teacher Zhao, what’s wrong with these candies? Are they some super expensive brand?”

Majority of the students were from wealthy families and Li Juan had received enough internationally branded candies from her students. However, she had never seen Teacher Zhao with such an expression on his face.

The young teacher taught history and had a postgraduate degree from a famous university. Moreover, it was said that both his father and grandfather were archaeology and history researchers. To sum it up, he had a profound family background.

Teacher Zhao’s expression became increasingly stunned as he muttered to himself. “The craftsmanship of this porcelain bottle is similar to the smelting technique that has been lost for centuries. Take a look at the fine pattern on this bottle. Only a professional craftsman can identify it. Oh my god… I’ve only seen this in books!”

The other teachers inside the office had also gathered around in curiosity.

Li Juan was in disbelief. “Teacher Zhou, so this is an imitation?”

Teacher Zhao carefully placed down the bottle and sent a few photos to his grandfather. His voice was rather agitated. “Imitation? This craftsmanship has not been revealed until today. It’s impossible to replicate it!”

All of them were awed when they heard that. Teacher Zhao opened the bottle and a faint fragrance rose up from within. “These don’t seem to be candies, but medicine instead.”

Just as Teacher Zhao said that, a knock came at the door and a woman in her thirties walked in.

The woman walked towards Teacher Huang and said, “Teacher Huang, I am Zhou Feng’s wife. I’m here on his behalf to sort out some information.”

The attention of all the teachers was instantly shifted to her.

Someone asked her. “I believe Teacher Zhou’s illness would at least require a few years to recover?”

Another teacher chipped in. “But I heard that Teacher Zhou’s condition has changed for the better? If you need any help, do tell.”

Zhou Feng’s wife packed his belongings and said with a smile, “My husband mentioned that Bai Chuwei had pricked him with a few needles and gave him some sort of panacea which has helped him to recover rapidly. He’ll be able to return to work after one week of rest.”

Zhou Feng would be able to return so soon? Didn’t he have some sort of a brain tumour?

Zhou Feng’s wife turned to look at the shocked teachers and took out a pile of material. “Teacher huang, this is some maths learning materials that Zhou Feng burned midnight oil to organize for Bai Chuwei. Please help me to pass it to her as a token of his thanks for her help.”

Zhou Feng had recalled that Bai Chuwei did not have any records of achievement and assumed that she might be bad in her studies. Therefore, he had worked really hard to organize some valuable materials from recent years and asked his wife to deliver it on his behalf.

Teacher Huang gulped and stared at Zhou Feng’s wife in shock.

She knew that Teacher Zhou had been forced to take leave to recuperate due to his fainting incident. However, she never expected his condition to turn for the better due to Bai Chuwei! Could it be that she was really an expert in medical skills?

Is that how did Bai Chuwei get to know of her condition? Could it be that her eyes had the X-ray feature?

In addition, she was so skilled at such a young age?

Teacher Huang stood rooted on the spot. All of a sudden, Bai Chuwei’s previous words surfaced in her mind. “Teacher Huang, this is a gift for you. You can eat it when your stomach feels sick.”

This was… medicine?

They weren’t sweets?

Teacher Huang had been suffering from diarrhea for more than half a year and even visited several doctors, but to no avail. It had caused her to suffer unspeakably. Her eyes instantly reddened and she rushed to grab the porcelain bottle. When she took a look at the contents, she was stupefied and yelled loudly. “WHY ARE THERE ONLY THREE REMAINING!?”
