However, she did not want to just hire a tutor for her children. All the Xia family’s children must study hard together. The only way for the family to progress was if everyone worked hard and improved together.
“Third Aunt-in-law, do you know any retired teachers? Are they willing to come out of retirement to teach again?” Qiao Mei called up Tang Hui and asked her.
“I know a few people who meet your requirements, but which subjects do you want to focus on?” Tang Hui asked.
“My main focus is on local language, mathematics and foreign languages but I need to find a teacher for each subject and also a teacher who knows astronomy. I want the children to be developed in all aspects,” Qiao Mei said after thinking for a long time.
The optional subjects could wait. The children could pick those up anytime they wanted, but they must not miss out on the essential subjects. As for physical fitness, Xia Zhe could train the children himself and she did not have to worry about it. In addition, she would teach them about law.
“You’ll end up starting a school at this rate!” Tang Hui said in surprise. She had thought the children were weak in a particular subject and Qiao Mei wanted to boost their understanding of the subject. She definitely did not expect that Qiao Mei wanted to find teachers for all the subjects.
“What you’re saying… actually makes sense. I really should consider setting up a school,” Qiao Mei said excitedly.
Currently, there were only public schools and private schools were almost unheard of. Many rich families had different ways of educating their children. If Qiao Mei could set up a private school to focus on those children who were from an elite family background and whose families wanted them to have an all-rounded education, it would also make life easier for their parents.
“This is a good idea, but it’s not something that can be done within a short period of time. We need to plan it properly. Moreover, it’s not going to be an easy task to set up a school and to maintain the teachers’ standards,” Tang Hui said.
“That’s true, I’ll give some thought to it,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“By the way, your third uncle is already back. He said that he’s been quite busy recently since he just took over his current portfolio. He’ll go and visit your children when he has settled down,” Tang Hui said, conveying Xia Guang’s message.
Qiao Mei laughed and said, “When Third Uncle has a rest day, I’ll bring the children to come and visit him.”
Tang Hui laughed and did not say anything. The two of them ended the call after discussing some work matters. Qiao Mei had not forgiven Third Uncle yet, but she did not show it because she wanted to maintain the cordial atmosphere in the family.
“Mei Mei, there’s someone looking for you,” Feng Hua said.
Qiao Mei could not tell who it was until she reached the front door. It was Wang Tian’s brother, Wang Kun.
“I’m here today to beg you to save my sister,” Wang Kun said as he looked at Qiao Mei firmly.
“Your Wang family has nothing to do with me, so why should I help you? Besides, your sister did a huge disservice to our Xia family,” Qiao Mei said.
“I know, but at this moment, the only person who can save my sister is you. As long as you’re willing to help me, I’ll give you the Wang family’s steamed bun recipe,” Wang Kun said openly.
Qiao Mei shook her head again and said, “I’m not interested in your Wang family’s business. I don’t lack money.”
Wang Kun did not have anything more valuable to offer. He stood there with his head lowered, as if he was thinking about what other bargaining chips he had to negotiate with Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei felt a little surprised. She originally thought that Wang Kun was just making use of Wang Tian and did not have any familial feelings for Wang Tian. Yet, when Wang Tian was in trouble, it was Wang Kun who stepped up to protect her.
Although Qiao Mei did not lack money, the Wang family had steamed bun shops in many locations in the capital and their buns were popular with everyone. It was no loss to her if she could get the secret recipe.She could even sell it to someone else and pocket a generous sum of money.
“Tell me, what happened to your sister?” Qiao Mei sighed and asked.
“My sister has lost her memory… She doesn’t remember anything. I’m here to beg you for a bottle of medicinal wine,” Wang Kun whispered.
“Lost her memory? Why did she suddenly lose her memory? Did she hit her head?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“No, she… she was forcibly imprisoned by that man. The marriage was arranged by our parents and I don’t really know what happened either. Anyway, she doesn’t recognize anyone now,” Wang Kun said vaguely.
Qiao Mei could pick up on the underlying message that Wang Kun did not say. It seemed that she would have to make a trip personally. Her medicinal wine could only treat physical illnesses. If there was a psychological problem, the medicinal wine would not work.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Qiao Mei observed Wang Tian carefully. Wang Tian’s question-and-answer session with the doctor went very smoothly though her speech was very slow. She seemed indifferent to everything, as if she was isolated from the world.
Qiao Mei’s guess was right. The girl not only had external injuries, but there were also some serious psychological problems involved.
