Seeing that Xiaoxiao remained silent, Li Chuntao held Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Xiaoxiao, thank you for helping me out just now, but I've thought about it and I still want to continue teaching."
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao's face darkened. So her playing the villain just now was all for nothing. Continuing to teach—so what was the point of the whole act she just pulled?
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Li Chuntao continue, "Xiaoxiao, you don't have to worry about me. I won't be staying here for long. I'll just tell the kids that I'll teach for two hours every day, so it won't be too tiring."
"You just drove the kids away like that, and now who knows what the villagers will say about you? They'll say you're blocking the kids' path to education. You've worked hard to build your reputation here, so don't ruin it because of me. Teaching them for a few days won't be a big deal, just like I'm learning myself."
