Everyone who saw Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao would greet them politely, each person warmer than the last.
Gu Jiaojiao would respond courteously as well.
This was a world apart from the situation she was in when she first transmigrated into the book.
Back then, her reputation had hit rock bottom. People would walk right past her and pretend not to see her. On top of her failed pursuit of Yun Hao and her attempt to seduce Leng Yuan, everyone wanted to steer clear of her.
Fortunately, she had managed to change everyone’s opinion of her, step by step. She even had a decent job now, allowing her to live quite comfortably in this era.
’This is the life I built for myself.’
Perhaps because her future was becoming clearer, Gu Jiaojiao radiated a sense of determination. It was an energy that people found particularly endearing.
Anyone who greeted Gu Jiaojiao seemed to be infected by her positive, uplifting spirit.
A few villagers stared after her, stunned.
When they came to their senses, they began to discuss her in low voices.
"Look at Gu Zhiqing. She’s really something. To become a teacher all on her own merit—that’s truly impressive."
She can build a threshing machine and beat out all the competition to become a teacher. A girl who can study like that is no worse than a son.
"Isn’t that the truth! Just you watch! The Leng Family’s life is only going to get better. The two of them are both so capable, and with that capable uncle of hers to give them a little help, they’ll soon be completely out of our league."
The two exchanged a look, both understanding that the Leng Family was about to become extraordinary.
"People used to say studying was useless, but seeing how well Gu Zhiqing does, it seems pretty useful to me."
"Right? I’m going to send my kid to school one of these days, too."
These two were thinking more clearly than most.
Everyone said studying was useless, but what good job didn’t require an education? Without one, you didn’t even have the right to compete.
Gu Jiaojiao had no idea that by simply walking past those two people, she had changed their entire perspective on education.
When she returned home, she organized a family meeting.
Since she and Leng Yuan would be coming home rather late for the foreseeable future, she suggested that the two children could come home on their own with the other village kids.
