Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 318: Chapter 60 Behind the Scenes! Operating Changning (7000 Big Chapter)_2

Upon hearing this, they didn’t panic, but were pleased. They bowed to Wang Shouzhe and said, “Thank you, Fourth Uncle/Fourth Brother.” Doing this work not only spares them from being reported to the family head, but also earns them some Merit Points.

Finally, Wang Shouzhe’s gaze landed on Wang Lillian and Wang Luoqing.

Both girls looked at Wang Shouzhe with a bit of fear, ready to accept whatever he had to say.

Wang Luoqing was the ninth of the Luo-generation; unless something unusual happened, she was likely to be the youngest of her generation.

Of course, it wasn’t impossible for Sixth Uncle Wang Dinghai to become youthful again and give Wang Shouzhe another little sister.

Now that the family is in better financial situation, there was less economic pressure, and the birth rate has risen considerably compared to the past.

“Fourth Brother,” six-year-old Wang Luoqing said in her childish voice, staring at Wang Shouzhe with wide eyes, “Yao Yao sister says the teacher is too mean.”

“That’s your niece Yao Yao, you can’t get your generations mixed up.” Wang Shouzhe fondly patted her head, “Besides, how could the teacher be mean to you?”

This young girl, youngest in age, yet high in ranking, even thirty-year-old Wang Zongwei had to respectfully call her Auntie Jiugugu.

“Fourth Uncle,” Wang Lillian also complained, “I agree with what Yao Yao sister said, too. The teacher shouldn’t look down on the women scholars in the clan school.”

Wang Lillian, eldest daughter of Wang Shouyi, was only seven this year. Although she was a year older than Wang Luoqing, they were both just little girls.

Seeing these young girls, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t bear to scold them. He pinched her cheek and said, “For now, you should focus on your studies. If there’s any problem, tell your Fourth Uncle. I’ll solve it for you.”

“Fourth Brother, we were wrong. We’re willing to be punished,” Wang Luoqing took responsibility, “We’re also willing to help at the refugee camp.”

“Alright. Once I’m done with this, none of you will escape, including you, Wang Li Yao. Do you understand?” Wang Shouzhe said sternly.

“I understand, Daddy.” Wang Liyao wasn’t afraid of the punishment, “I also heard from Auntie Seven and Auntie Four that more and more refugees are arriving in Ping’an Town and there’s a lot of work to be done.”

“That’s my good girl~”

Wang Shouzhe praised her and then let her go. Together, they followed the female teacher into his office.

The office was occupied by a man in his seventies who appeared quite miserable. His once majestic white beard had been burned off in large patches and his face was blackened and grey, looking quite ragged.

He leaned on his walking stick, trembling slightly, as if still in shock.

“Shouzhe, is this how you discipline your child? Look at your daughter Wang Li Yao, causing trouble in the clan school every day.”

Upon seeing Wang Shouzhe, the old man finally found a vent for his anger and launched an verbal attack.

“Old Master Wang, calm down, calm down. Let me ask about the situation first.”

Wang Shouzhe respected this old predecessor, who had served the Wang family dutifully most of his life, and hasten to appease him.

This old man was Wang Yangjie, a brilliant scholar from a branch of the Wang family. He had traveled the world, gaining much knowledge and even served as a civilian official in Changning City Defense Office.

In the beginning, it was the Old Ancestor Luo Yan who had invited him back to teach in the clan school. He had educated many, including Wang Shouzhe’s predecessor, dedicating his life to the service of others.

Therefore, in the new clan school, he became the vice principal.

As for the principal, it was Wang Shouzhe in name. But he was usually too busy with other affairs to manage the school.

The authority of Wang Shouzhe, the Family Head, was very effective. Upon hearing him, the Old Master indeed calmed down.

Then, Wang Shouzhe shifted his gaze to his beloved daughter.

Now at eight years old, she was past the age of innocence.

She crossed her arms, pouting. “Daddy, haven’t you always said boys and girls are the same? But the Teacher favors boys.”

“When a boy misbehaves, he just scolds them mildly. But if a girl from the clan school messes up, the Teacher would always threaten to send her away. He also always says that there shouldn’t be female scholars in the academy and easily scolds them. I was angry, that’s why I stood up against him.”

Wang Shouzhe knew about this.

Old Master Wang Yangjie did indeed favor sons over daughters. Perhaps there was a reason why Luo Qiu and others didn’t like studying back then.

And it seemed that Luo Qiu and Luo Jing often quarreled with Wang Yangjie back then.

“But you cannot just burn the Teacher’s beard. If there’s a problem, it has to be solved,” Wang Shouzhe said seriously, “So what do you think should be done?”

“I think the clan school needs a female vice principal.” Wang Liyao had clearly thought about this problem in advance and as soon as Wang Shouzhe asked, she hugged her arms and discussed seriously, “There also need to be clear rules. Everyone who makes a mistake should be punished, boys and girls should be treated the same.”

“Hmm, you’ve made some good points,” Wang Shouzhe said, “But, Liyao, your approach is too radical. First, apologize to the Teacher.”
