70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 25: Qin Jie

Following Du Yu to the shoe factory, Xu Mumu thought Du Yu’s family were just ordinary workers, but it turned out his family was much more impressive than she imagined. His dad was actually the factory director, and his mom was the head of the women’s federation at the factory.

Very well, his family background was quite powerful, which made her a bit envious. Some people are indeed born under a lucky star, and Du Yu was one of those fortunate ones.

"Your house is quite big." Looking at the two-story house in front of her, in this era, those who could afford a house were definitely not lacking money.

"It’s alright, just like that. Let’s go in quickly," Du Yu said happily.

"Mom, I’m back. This is my classmate Xu Mumu; she’s here to tutor me," Du Yu said to his mom.

"Hello, Auntie." Seeing a woman tidying up the room, the woman looked gentle and kind. At first glance, Xu Mumu had a good impression of her.

"Xu is here! Please sit down. Xiaoyu, go bring out the fruit. I’ve already washed them," Qin Jie said with a gentle smile, her gaze falling on Xu Mumu.

She had heard from Du Yu before that this young girl was from the countryside. Though it was her first time visiting their home, she didn’t seem nervous at all and looked generous and graceful. Such a fair and tender girl didn’t seem like someone who could be raised in the countryside.

"No need to be so polite, Auntie," Xu Mumu said with a light smile.

"It’s nothing. Xiaoyu likes those fruits too," Qin Jie said softly, having quite a good impression of the girl.

Du Yu was her son, and the way he mentioned Xu Mumu clearly indicated he liked the girl. That’s why, when Xu Mumu came today to tutor Du Yu, she specifically stayed to have a look.

She doesn’t want the person her son likes to be someone only after Du Yu’s money. As the son of the factory director, there were plenty of people with ulterior motives approaching him.

Thanks to their protection, Du Yu hadn’t been surrounded by all kinds of unsavory people.

"Mumu, there’s an apple here for you; give it a try," Du Yu said, handing a big, red apple from the plate to Xu Mumu.

"Thank you," Xu Mumu said with a smile, not in a hurry to eat it. Such a big apple would make her little brother very happy if given to him.

"Come on, eat it. There are plenty more here," Du Yu said cheerfully, biting into an apple with a crunch.

"No, I’m here to tutor you, not to eat your food. This apple is enough," Xu Mumu said helplessly. Du Yu’s simple and silly demeanor made her not want to take advantage of him.

"I’ve already tidied up this area, so you can have your class here. Xu, please pay a little more attention to our Xiaoyu; his grades aren’t good," Qin Jie smiled, sensing Xu Mumu’s intentions, and followed her lead.

"Auntie, you don’t have to call me Xu. Just call me Mumu," Xu Mumu said helplessly, finding ’Xu’ awkward to hear.

"Alright, I’ll call you Mumu," Qin Jie said with a smile, having a good impression of the generous girl in front of her.

"Oh, can’t we play a little bit longer?" Du Yu couldn’t smile anymore, feeling like he had trapped himself. He really didn’t like studying.

"No, how can you even say that? I’m too embarrassed to even mention your grades," Qin Jie glared at Du Yu. Her son’s grades had always been a headache for her, and although the current exams weren’t crucial, she knew the importance of knowledge. They had already planned Du Yu’s future. After he graduates high school, they’ll find a way to get him into a Worker-Peasant-Soldier University spot.

"Got it," Du Yu said obediently after Qin Jie glared at him. His mom usually showed her gentle side in front of outsiders, but when it came to dealing with him, she was always stern, making him occasionally doubt if he was her biological child.

Du Yu went to get the textbooks he had prepared, and Xu Mumu also took out her lesson plan notebook.

They had agreed beforehand that Du Yu’s tutoring would start from first-year high school subjects. They needed to cover first and second-year high school, and there was quite a bit to go through.

"Mumu, you’ve prepared a lot," Qin Jie said, surprised at the amount of material Xu Mumu had prepared for the tutoring.

"Not that much," Xu Mumu said a bit embarrassedly, as it was her first time teaching anyone.

After taking out the lesson plans, Xu Mumu quietly placed the big apple into her backpack.

Starting with the first-year textbooks, Du Yu didn’t fool around but listened attentively to the lesson.

Using her own method, although she had never tutored anyone before, Xu Mumu had studied a lot in her past life, so teaching Du Yu wasn’t too difficult.

Du Yu thought he wouldn’t be able to understand, but to his surprise, as soon as Xu Mumu explained it, he found that high school material wasn’t as hard as it seemed.

Watching the living room as one person taught earnestly and the other learned intently, Qin Jie smiled, quietly returning to her own room, leaving the space to the two of them.

When Xu Mumu felt they’d spent enough time, she stopped teaching. Teaching too much at once would be too much for Du Yu to absorb.

"Here’s the homework I’ve prepared for you; it’s not much, but I need to check it tomorrow," Xu Mumu said, handing over the homework she had prepared, consisting of her own questions.

"There’s homework too?" Du Yu widened his eyes.

"Of course, it’s proof of my hard work. Do them well. With the methods I taught you today, think a bit more, and you’ll be able to solve them," Xu Mumu said, patting Du Yu on the shoulder.

"Alright," Du Yu said, thinking he couldn’t do much but finish the homework if he wanted to spend more time with Xu Mumu and continue the tutoring.

"Mumu, here you go. It’s the first time I’ve seen Xiaoyu so serious about tutoring. The previous tutors we hired were all infuriated by him," Qin Jie said, giving Xu Mumu two yuan.

"Auntie, one yuan is enough. That’s what I agreed on with Du Yu," Xu Mumu said, smiling, although she really wanted the two yuan.

"Take it. This two yuan is just for today; there won’t be any next time. Take these fruits home; Xiaoyu can’t eat them all," Qin Jie said, smiling, as she handed the money to Xu Mumu and also gave her the remaining apples.

Having a good impression of Xu Mumu, she gave those things, hoping Xu Mumu would pay more attention while teaching Du Yu.

"Thank you, Auntie," Xu Mumu said earnestly. Since Qin Jie had put it that way, she did want it, and she knew what Qin Jie meant.

"It’s nothing," Qin Jie said with a careless smile.
