Chapter 301: I Stand on No Side, I Just Discuss the Matter on Its Merits

Liu Shuqin's face was full of bashfulness: "I was worried about you, so I came to check."

"How is it? Did the thing I gave you come in handy?"

Hearing her words, Xiang Qianjin was so frightened that he quickly looked left and right before pulling her under a nearby tree: "Don't say such things outside in the future. If someone hears, not only will I have trouble, but your family will suffer too."

Although Liu Shuqin felt uncomfortable in her heart, she still nodded and said: "I remember. I won't mention that matter again."

Xiang Qianjin had originally wanted to go find Liu Shuqin; he didn't expect her to come first. After drafting a speech in his mind several times, he looked left and right to ensure no one was nearby: "Shuqin, there is something I want to tell you."

"What is it? Speak."

Xiang Qianjin weighed his words carefully before deceiving her: "Today, the number of people taking the exam was huge. I was a bit nervous and forgot almost everything I had memorized before. I'm afraid I didn't perform well."

Liu Shuqin was somewhat stunned and couldn't help raising her voice: "What did you say?"

Xiang Qianjin was nearly sent away by her shout: "Why are you so loud?"

Liu Shuqin's head went 'Buzz!' with a thud: It was over. She had bragged to many people these past few days. If she really didn't pass, wouldn't people laugh her to death?

Moreover, her father had gone to such great lengths to help her, yet he said he didn't perform well today?

Seeing Liu Shuqin's expression, Xiang Qianjin knew what she was thinking: "Shuqin, I really didn't mean to. If it weren't for Liu Chuxue in the village handing in her paper early, I wouldn't have panicked. Once I panicked, mistakes were inevitable."

Hearing it was because of Chuxue, Liu Shuqin felt furious.

She already had a bad relationship with Chuxue; now the grudge was even bigger: "I'm not done with her over this."

Seeing her like this, Xiang Qianjin couldn't help but sigh with relief: "She finished the paper so quickly. Could it be she also found someone to help, just like us?"

Liu Shuqin became even angrier: "If it's really as you guess, and if she gets selected, just wait until I ruin it for her."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, a look of triumph flashed in Xiang Qianjin's eyes.

Time quickly passed until the afternoon. Under Liu's mother's urging, Chuxue arrived at the village primary school early to wait for the results.

She originally said there was no rush, and after all, it couldn't run away.

But Liu's mother said with a look of disapproval: "That's not the same. If the principal sees you don't take this exam seriously, he might form a bad impression of you. Anyway, you have nothing to do at home, so you might as well go there early and wait for the results."

Unable to bear Liu's mother's urging, Chuxue simply went out the door.

As soon as she stepped out, she met Liu Zhiyuan, who was preparing to go up the mountain: "Yuanyuan, are you going up the mountain?"

Liu Zhiyuan jogged a few steps to Chuxue's front: "How was your exam this morning?"

Chuxue smiled faintly: "I think it went well. I am just preparing to go to the village primary school to wait for the results."

Liu Zhiyuan glanced toward the village primary school: "My grandpa went there after eating. You studied so well before; you are definitely going to pass."

"Then I'll borrow your auspicious words."

The two chatted for a few more moments before parting ways.

When Chuxue arrived at the village primary school, quite a few people were already waiting there.

Seeing her appear, someone whispered: "I heard she is in a relationship. She is almost getting married, yet she still fights with us for the teacher position at the village primary school."

"Watch what you say. Even we, the outside Ding Zhiqing, can participate. Let alone her, who is a local."

"Why are you still sticking up for the other side? Which side are you on?"

"I don't stand on any side; I'm just discussing the matter on its merits."
