Chapter 1918 A figure flashed past Teacher Jiang's window
The principal, exasperated, explained, "Teacher Zhang paid for the first-grade children's reward out of her own pocket, and she also paid for all the school uniforms for all the children. She didn't charge you parents a single penny! If you're not satisfied, you can transfer your child to first grade to repeat the year." These parents were never satisfied with taking advantage! The two sets of uniforms were enough for the children to wear for four or five years because all the children asked for clothes two sizes too big. If the hem was too long, they could tuck it into their pants, and if the cuffs and pant legs were too long, they could roll them up and still wear them.
Parent: "..." It's impossible for him to repeat a grade; his child is already in fifth grade.
After dinner, Fu Qin sat at the dormitory entrance, cracking sunflower seeds. She watched as a cucumber hung from a rope on the horizontal bar in the open space. Zhang Ran stood not far away, tossing a deck of cards at the cucumber. A month ago, he couldn't even throw accurately, but now he could hit the cucumber with pinpoint accuracy.
She praised Zhang Ran for her accuracy, but Zhang Ran was not satisfied, saying that she wanted to use the playing cards as knives, and that it would only count when the playing cards she threw could accurately cut through the cucumber.
"Playing cards are made of paper, how could they possibly cut a cucumber?"
Hearing Fu Qin's mutterings, Zhang Ran didn't argue with her, because she had personally witnessed someone using playing cards to cut cucumbers and puncture canned drinks.
Teaching first and second graders is too much of a hassle; there's plenty of time. You might as well practice every day. If you succeed, you can carry a deck of cards in your pocket and no one will ever guess that you can use it to kill someone.
While cracking sunflower seeds, Fu Qin brought up Teacher Jiang: "He didn't come to class today. Did he do something wrong and dare not come to school?"
Zhang Ran replied casually, "I heard he was beaten up by Liu Ni's father. He already had a leg injury, so he probably won't be able to get out of bed."
"Serves him right!" Fu Qin laughed gleefully.
Three days later, Ms. Jiang recovered from her injuries and came to school to teach, only to be told that she had been expelled.
The principal took out a wad of bills from his pocket, counted them, pulled out a bill and handed it over, saying, "This is your salary."
Teacher Jiang didn't reach out to take it, but angrily questioned, "Why are you expelling me? Just because I haven't come to school for the past few days? That's because I was injured by a student's parent!"
Seeing that he refused to leave, the principal simply dropped the pretense of civility: "You know perfectly well why those parents came to the school to cause trouble a few days ago!"
Teacher Jiang, feeling guilty, stuck out her neck and retorted, "I accidentally let it slip, but I didn't lie! On the contrary, you're the ones who deceived the students' parents into helping their children get student loans! This money has to be repaid anyway! It's not free assistance at all!"
"Whether it was an accident or intentional, you know perfectly well!" the principal retorted coldly. "Take the money and get out of here!"
Teacher Jiang snatched the money from his hand and said angrily, "Don't beg me to come back after Teacher Zhang and the others leave!"
Girls in the village are not allowed to go to school, and most of the boys are slow-witted and cannot even pass the high school entrance exam. The minimum requirement for teachers to come to school is a high school diploma. Even if someone graduates from high school, they are unwilling to come to school to teach because the salary is too low, and it is often not even paid! It is better to go out and work to earn more.
If the principal can't find the teacher, he'll definitely come to the school in person to beg him to come back!
"Don't worry, I absolutely won't beg you! Goodbye!"
The principal ordered him to leave, and Teacher Jiang left in anger, leaning on his cane.
That night, a figure flashed past Teacher Jiang's window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Three days later, Teacher Jiang's wife was kicked out of her home by her parents, so she had no choice but to return to the village with her children and push open the door to her new home.
"Ah...!" A piercing scream shattered the peace of the village.
