Chapter 34 -34: So Overbearing, So Unreasonable!
The pretty sisters made some of the family members burst into smiles.
They didn’t really have a deep hatred for Qiao Qingyu, they just felt it was a pity that He Xiuyu, such a fine young man, was involved.
However, in recent days, even though there wasn’t much interaction, the slightly changed Qiao Qingyu still altered their views somewhat.
Especially Sister-in-law Li, she got along with her just like real sisters.
So, everyone laughed, some even really pondered the question Qiao Qingyu asked, “Why does 1+1 equal 2 and not 3?”
Lin Cujuan was the first to respond, “Exactly, everyone knows 1+1=2, but why is it 2 and not 3? I’m perplexed too. Teacher Zhu, I heard you graduated from high school, which means you are quite educated. Can you tell us why 1+1 equals 2?”
Zhu Mingli was so angry that her face turned an ashen hue, and she was unable to speak.
Shen Fen originally wanted to smooth things over, but after some thought, she calmly sat back down.
If you stir up trouble, you should be able to solve it,
otherwise, you don’t deserve to be a teacher.
Moreover, Qiao Qingyu’s question wasn’t being unreasonable or childish; on the contrary, this question had been posed a long time ago, and foreign mathematicians used over three hundred pages of theoretical knowledge to prove why 1+1 equals 2.
It stirred up a huge commotion!
These family members originally liked to gather and chat, and Lin Cujuan’s question undoubtedly gave them a start.
And after all, it was just a study class, not formal school students, so everyone was very casual.
They genuinely started asking,
“Teacher Zhu, Qiao Qingyu asked a great question, I’ve never thought about it, but now that you mention it, I am also curious, why is that?”
“Teacher Zhu, you surely know it, just explain it to us, then I can show off to my husband when I get home, I bet he doesn’t know why 1+1 equals 2 either…”
The classroom became incredibly lively for a moment.
Zhu Mingli initially felt confident, but she didn’t expect to be outwitted by Qiao Qingyu. As a high school graduate, she naturally wouldn’t foolishly point at Qiao Qingyu’s nose and scold her for not understanding such a simple arithmetic question; sometimes, simple truths require complex theories to be proven.
However, she really didn’t know what vocabulary to use to prove that 1+1=2.
She stood at the podium, her hands trembling slightly.
Looking at Qiao Qingyu, she wished she could kill her. Qiao Qingyu smiled at her, truly unreasonable—clearly, she was the instigator, yet she blamed the other for not showing mercy after losing. What kind of nonsense was that?
Qiao Qingyu sneered inwardly, but she still stood gracefully in the dilapidated warehouse, her eyes smiling, looking at Zhu Mingli, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from her.
“Teacher Zhu, it’s been quite a while and you haven’t answered, don’t you know?” Qiao Qingyu asked, puzzled.
Finally, Zhu Mingli found her voice again, and said furiously, “Qiao Qingyu, you are disrupting the class order, does such a simple question even need proof?”
“Teacher Zhu, that’s not right of you to say, as a teacher, you naturally bear the responsibility of clarifying our doubts. If you know, you know; if you don’t, you don’t—there’s nothing shameful about that.” Qiao Qingyu’s voice was calm.
Zhu Mingli clenched her fists tightly, glaring daggers at Qiao Qingyu, she blurted out, “I don’t know, do you know then?”
She was certain Qiao Qingyu wouldn’t know either, after all, such a question could not be clarified in a few words and required proper, substantial terminologies—could a village woman who didn’t even finish elementary school understand that?
She was just taking advantage with her quick wit.
Qiao Qingyu laughed, “I’m so sorry, you don’t know, but I do.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Cujuan hurriedly urged, “Qingyu, since you know, hurry up and tell all of us.”
It seemed that Old Xie must have told her about contracting the wasteland and the emergence of cabbage seedlings, otherwise, how could Lin Cujuan show her such kindness?
What goes around comes around, and Qiao Qingyu naturally nodded at her with a smile, “Alright, since everyone wants to know, I’ll talk about it.”
Sister-in-law Li turned around and said to the family members, “Everyone be quiet, let’s listen to Qingyu and gain some insights, otherwise our husbands always think they’re some kind of scientist or cultured person.”
Although the family members were laughing, they stopped talking and were quite curious about what Qiao Qingyu could come up with…
“Actually, I also don’t know…”
Zhu Mingli was so angry she almost cursed, “You don’t know, you don’t know and you’re talking nonsense here?”
Qiao Qingyu wasn’t provoked and her beautiful eyes and brows carried a smile, “I haven’t finished talking yet, and you interrupted me, and besides, you’re a teacher, how can you accuse a student like this?”
Zhu Mingli, “…”
At this moment, she finally saw Shen Fen’s calm face and her heart sank, she finally began to regret, why did she use this math problem to humiliate Qiao Qingyu?
Wasn’t this just shooting herself in the foot?
But what could she do now?
She could only clench her teeth and glared hard at Qiao Qingyu, “Didn’t you say you knew? Didn’t you say you wanted to discuss it with everyone?”
“So yeah, you interrupted me before I could finish. You’re really impolite, nevermind, I won’t argue with you.” Then Qiao Qingyu paused for a moment, and her expression became serious, “My educational level isn’t high, of course, I can’t prove why 1+1 equals 2, but I do know a principle, and that is 1+1 must equal 2, this is the definition, this is the axiom. We can prove it the other way around, assuming 1+1 does not equal 2, then all places that use numbers and calculations would become a mess, and our human society would be in chaos as well, so, 1+1 must equal 2!”
She then added with a smile, “You see, sometimes science is also unreasonable and domineering.”
Shen Fen relaxed her expression, her face also wearing a slight smile.
Because this question seemed simple, yet it was wonderfully profound.
So explaining it like this was quite interesting.
The family members on the other side first became quiet for a while, then they all nodded in sudden realization, and Lin Cujuan was the first to speak, “Qingyu is right, if 1+1 isn’t equal to 2, then all the following mathematical calculations would be messed up, so 1+1 must equal 2, just like that, so domineering, so unreasonable!”
Then, she herself found what she had said amusing, and thus her hearty voice suddenly filled this temporary classroom converted from a warehouse.

Everyone was infected and began to laugh along.
Sister Wu suddenly had a brilliant idea and stretched out her hands, “Look, these are hands, but why are they called hands? Because they are hands, there’s no reason for it, just so domineering, just so unreasonable!”
Someone joined in the fun and slapped Sister Wu’s hands, “Not quite right, these hands can also be called claws.”
Sister Wu gave her a look, “Sister-in-law, your family’s hands are claws, mine aren’t.”
“Hand claws, haha…”
Hearty laughter once again spread through the brigade’s warehouse…
