Chapter 97: Get out of our school

"You actually want me to go make bean sprouts?!" Su Qianqian shrieked at Qiao Wang. "I won't go! I'd rather work in the fields or go up the mountain to cut pig grass than help Su Qingyue with her work!"

"This is to help us earn money for ourselves! You can go without eating or drinking, but consider the child in your belly!"

Su Qianqian was already in a bad mood after being dismissed, and at this, she exploded instantly. "Shen Xunbao! You still have the nerve to lecture me? Then what about you? I ask you, where did you spend the one hundred yuan I gave you last week?!"

Qiao Wang was not Shen Xunbao; he didn't have a shred of patience. He kicked the enamel mug on the table, sending it flying, and scattered items rolled all over the floor with a clatter.

"Su Qianqian! Do you really think of yourself as a pampered young lady? Look at what you look like now! You're as unreasonable and shrewish as a virago. Do you have a single ounce of a young lady's poise or temperament?"

"What did you say?!" Su Qianqian cried hysterically. "Shen Xunbao, you're disgusted with me, aren't you?" She threw herself into Qiao Wang's arms, hitting and cursing him.

Qiao Wang, having lost all patience, threw her onto the bed, broke free from her grasp, and walked out the door without looking back.

He was going to find Shen Xunbao; he couldn't live a single day longer with Su Qianqian.

Su Qianqian cried for a long while. After calming down, she washed her face and looked at herself carefully in the mirror. Seeing the face that resembled Su Weixin in the reflection, her gaze gradually became firm.

She was the true daughter after all; she would definitely defeat Su Qingyue and live a life a thousand, ten thousand times better than hers.

Su Qianqian wrote a letter to Qiu Lu.

"This is how it happened. I might really be too stupid; I don't know why I was dismissed by President Zhang. Sister Qiu Lu, please don't tell my mother and make her worry. This is two hundred yuan; please buy some supplements for my mother. Thank you."

She had learned to be clever. In the letter, she defended Su Qingyue everywhere, saying she had been very caring toward her, praising Qingyue for being smart and organizing the villagers to make tofu and sell bean products, while she herself had been dismissed because she was too stupid and had hindered Su Qingyue.

Su Qianqian tucked the letter away and went to the county town. After mailing the letter, she passed by a state-run stationery store and saw Su Qingyue.

Su Qingyue was surrounded like the moon among stars, handing out fruit candies to several children from the village. Widow Liu and Xiang Jianming were both thanking her.

Directly opposite was Yucai Primary School.

Su Qianqian had only attended school for two years in the neighboring village when she was young. Su Qingyue must have attended such a beautiful school when she was young, too. Now she was going to send her younger sister and little nephew to such a good school.

Su Qianqian clenched her palms tightly, her sharp fingernails almost piercing her skin until it bled.

Why! Why was it that Su Qingyue, who had stolen seventeen years of her life, always lived better than her!

She and her family should be the ones living in poverty and constant trouble!

As if the heavens had heard her curse, the next moment, she saw the school guard hurry from the school across the street to the stationery store.

"Which one is Comrade Su Qingyue? Your sister beat another student until they were bleeding during the exam!"

"What?" Xiang Jianming looked at Su Qingyue, shocked. "Su Qingxi got into a fight? Let's go, let's go take a look quickly."

Su Qingyue believed her sister wouldn't hit people without cause. Pei Huaiye squeezed her palm and picked up Zhuangzhuang. "Don't worry, let's go see what the situation is first."

Widow Liu and Xiang Jianming followed behind with the other children.

A victorious smile appeared on the corner of Su Qianqian's mouth. Excited, she quietly followed behind them and entered the school without realizing it.

Inside the second-grade classroom.

A tall, fat boy was bleeding heavily from his nose, clutching his face and howling. Gao Ying stood to the side, comforting him in a soft voice.

Su Qingxi was shielding a short, thin boy behind her, looking at the tall, fat boy with disdain.

Gao Ying flared up at Su Qingyue and her group. "Su Qingyue, look! Your sister started hitting people right after the exam, and she made Young Master Fang's nose bleed! Our Yucai Primary School cannot accept someone with such character!"

Gao Ying had originally had a good impression of the two children Su Qingyue brought, but they had started a fight before school had even begun.

Furthermore, she was bringing so many rural children to study; their academic performance would definitely be poor, dragging down their school's teaching standards. There was no need for that; it would be better to take this opportunity to decline them all.

"Qingxi, let me see." Su Qingyue circled Su Qingxi, and seeing her sister wasn't hurt, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell your sister quickly what happened."

"Sister, he was the one bullying people first, so I hit him." Su Qingxi pointed at the tall, fat boy.

Gao Ying sternly stopped her. "Not only did you hit someone, but you're also lying?"

"I'm not lying!" Su Qingxi's eyes welled up with tears, and she choked out, "He was the one who pushed this little brother to the ground, stepped on his hand, and kicked his arm. I couldn't just watch, so I stopped him. Then he spat on me, and that's why I hit him."

Su Qingxi explained the sequence of events, neither humble nor pushy.

Su Qingyue wiped the tears from her sister's face. "Be good, don't cry. Sister believes you, don't be afraid."

The watching teachers and students began to whisper. Fang Rong was usually overbearing at school, and few students liked him, but they dared not offend him because his family was wealthy and powerful.

"You're lying! He fell down by himself! I didn't hit him!" Fang Rong wailed and made a scene. "Teacher Gao, she made me bleed! I want her to get out of school and not be allowed to study here!"

"The school isn't run by your family, so why should I get out just because you say so?" Su Qingxi frowned.

Gao Ying scolded sternly, "Su Qingxi, hitting people is wrong! Students, is there anyone who can prove whether Jiang Rong fell by himself or was pushed?"

The tall, fat boy glared at the students arrogantly, seeing who dared to speak up at this moment.

He hated Jiang Rong because his name also contained the character 'Rong', and his academic performance was better than his own.

He was the young master of the Fang family; his food and clothing were all the best, and he liked everything to be unique. How could someone have the same name as him?

Seeing no one speak, Gao Ying frowned and turned to Su Qingyue. "You've seen it too; no one will testify. Your sister hitting people is wrong. Hurry up and have her apologize to classmate Fang Rong."

Su Qingyue asked, "Teacher Gao, isn't that too arbitrary? You just heard Qingxi's account of what happened. Why don't we ask this classmate behind her?"

Jiang Rong's mother had passed away early, and his father was busy doing business every day. He had been sent to school at a very young age and was younger than his classmates; the second-grade students were all eight or nine years old, while he was only seven.

Usually, when he was bullied by Fang Rong, he would just scramble up and go home crying alone.

Today, an older sister had fought for him, and his little heart was filled with gratitude and warmth. Seeing the sister crying, he wiped his own tears as well.

"It was Fang Rong who pushed me first and stepped on my hand. This sister helped because she wanted to stop him."

Jiang Rong spoke in a very low voice, his tone trembling.

Gao Ying really didn't like this child. She frowned and said, "Jiang Rong, are you lying?"

"I'm not." The child bit his lip, his eyes full of terror.

Pei Huaiye watched from the side, always feeling that the child's face looked very familiar.

Over there, Fang Rong was still clutching his nose and making a scene. Gao Ying hurried forward to comfort him. "In that case, Comrade Su, I need to take the child to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up. If there's any problem caused by the beating, you will need to cover the medical expenses."

"As for the children's schooling," Gao Ying said firmly, "no matter the reason, hitting people is wrong. Our school will not accept your sister or the children you brought!" ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
