Although six hundred taels is a lot, Yu Xiaolian wasn't moved. If it were six hundred taels a month, maybe. But six hundred taels a year? Sorry, she's not interested.
Yu Xiaolian didn't directly refuse Feng Daquan but rather politely said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to come to your house to teach your two granddaughters, but the business at home and affairs of Shuren Academy already keep me busy, and I have no spare time.
If your two granddaughters don't mind, they can visit my residence and we can engage in friendly exchanges and learning. Xiaolian would be delighted to welcome them."
Feng Daquan saw that although Yu Xiaolian spoke tactfully, her attitude was firm, knowing that the idea of having her come to the house as a female teacher was a lost cause.
His right hand, grasping the armrest of the chair, tightened and then relaxed. After weighing the situation in his mind, Feng Daquan decided to show Yu Xiaolian some goodwill by allowing her to take Gao Yishui away.
