Chapter 123 The Sharp-Tongued Mother of the Female Supporting Character in the 1980s
"How about it? If you kneel down and beg me, Auntie, I'll put in a good word for Chuxia. Maybe she can come back to school and won't have to sell tofu with you under the scorching sun anymore."
Yan Xue looked at Si Yan and spoke sarcastically.
"Yan, you're really amazing! But I'm curious, you're just a student, where do you get your confidence from?"
Si Yan chuckled.
Yan Xue heard this and looked very smug.
"That's because of my uncle, of course. My uncle is the vice principal of our school, and he dotes on me the most."
After Yan Xue finished speaking, she glanced at Si Yan disdainfully. She was about to say something more when she was interrupted by a sudden reprimand.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I had no idea you were using my name to bully your classmates at school?"
Vice Principal Yan's face was as black as ink, and his palms were sweating.
Yan Xue, you little miss, please don't say another word.
At first, Yan Xue was confused and looked aggrieved when she heard her uncle say that.
But seeing her uncle constantly giving her meaningful glances, Yan Xue knew something was wrong, so she changed the subject and apologized to Si Yan.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I misspoke, I didn't mean to,"
Yan Xue said this with a pitiful expression, but the resentment and anger in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"No, Auntie can't take that responsibility. You won't forget what you said so quickly, will you? I'm worried that even if I forgive you today, you'll bully my daughter again tomorrow."
Si Yan spoke calmly.
Seeing how difficult Si Yan was to deal with, Yan Xue's face turned ugly, and she couldn't help but look at her uncle, Vice Principal Yan.
Vice Principal Yan glanced at Director Song's expression, made up her mind, and said to Si Yan.
"This parent is right. She must be disciplined, write a self-criticism, and apologize to Wang Chuxia in front of the whole class. Is that alright?"
Vice Principal Yan looked at Si Yan with a forced smile and made a promise.
"uncle……"
Yan Xue was filled with panic upon hearing this; how could this be?
"Shut up. You did something wrong, so you should reflect on it. When you get back, I'll have your father discipline you properly. You're getting more and more out of line."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Director Song on the side.
"Boss, this is just my own child being unreasonable. I'll go back and give her a good talking to."
After Vice Principal Yan finished speaking to Director Song, he immediately looked at Si Yan.
"Parent, is this solution acceptable? I guarantee you, this will never happen again."
Seeing that Si Yan did not reply, Vice Principal Yan's eyes darkened, but then he smiled and assured Si Yan.
"Parents, don't worry, I promise this will never happen again. This was my negligence, and I apologize to you and your child."
Vice Principal Yan put on a very convincing act, perfectly absolving himself of any responsibility. He portrayed his niece as someone who had used her position to bully others, while he himself was a righteous and impartial official.
Si Yan smiled faintly after hearing this.
"Vice Principal Yan is such an upright and good leader. I thank you on behalf of my Chuxia."
Si Yan smiled at Vice Principal Yan, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
It's alright. I already know Vice Principal Yan's biggest weakness. Let them relax first, and then we can catch them all in one fell swoop.
Having achieved her goal, Si Yan expressed her gratitude to the leaders present and then left the school gate with Si Lang and the others, along with Chu Xia.
"Mom, you know perfectly well that the truth isn't what Vice Principal Yan said, so why are you thanking him?"
As soon as she stepped out of the school gate, Chu Xia asked, she was just too curious, because this wasn't her mother's style.
“In early summer, your mother has other plans. Our purpose today is to get you back to school. As for other things, we can settle scores later.”
Si Lang chuckled softly.
“Your uncle is right. Too much of a good thing can be bad. Now that we’ve achieved our goal, we can deal with the rest later. For now, at least for a while, those people won’t dare to mess with you. You can focus on your studies.”
Si Yan looked at Chu Xia, her tone full of tenderness.
There are some things that don't need to be known by my daughter. After all, Vice Principal Yan's gossip is quite explosive, and I don't want to pollute her ears.
"Little sister, let's go home first for lunch, and I'll bring you back this afternoon."
Si Lang glanced at his watch and spoke softly to Si Yan and Chu Xia.
“Great! I haven’t seen Grandma in ages.”
Chu Xia replied happily, her mouth watering at the thought of her grandmother's cooking.
Chu Xia's expression, like a little glutton, made Si Yan and the other two both laugh and cry.
When we arrived at Si Lang's house, before we even went inside, we heard Si Lang's mother's voice.
"Afen, go and see why they haven't come back yet."
As she spoke, Mrs. Si slicing vegetables with a spicy and efficient manner.
Ah Fen, who was standing to the side, was Si Lang's wife. She responded with a word, put down the kitchen knife in her hand, and walked towards the front door.
As soon as she reached the door, she saw Si Yan and the others and immediately shouted happily.
"Mom, my sister-in-law and the others are back."
"Where? Let me see, has my dear granddaughter lost weight?"
Mrs. Si put down her work and hurried to the front door.
"Oh dear, my Chuxia has really suffered, she's even lost weight."
As soon as Chu Xia appeared, Si's mother went over and hugged her tightly.
Grandma, I miss you so much too.
In early summer, she buried her head in her grandmother's arms and laughed very happily.
"Alright, you two stop being so lovey-dovey, dinner's almost ready."
Si Yan said helplessly from the side.
Afen, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Little sister-in-law, you know perfectly well that Mommy's favorite person is Chuxia."
As she spoke, Afen raised an eyebrow at Chuxia.
"Early Summer, do you think what your aunt said is right?"
"Yes, yes, but doesn't everyone love me the most? Doesn't my aunt love me?"
Chu Xia said playfully.
While the Si family was enjoying themselves, the female lead, Wang Baozhu, was having a much harder time.
"Wang Baozhu, what's wrong with you? You just came home for a visit, and you've forgotten even the most basic knowledge?"
Teacher Li looked at the Chinese test paper in her hand, which only had a score of 58, and stared at Wang Baozhu in disbelief.
Wang Baozhu is a student I personally recruited to help Huada University.
"Teacher, after that high fever, I felt increasingly weak. Don't worry, this was an accident, and it won't happen again next time."
Wang Baozhu felt like she could disappear into the ground when she saw the stares of her classmates.
She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes brimming with tears.
Thinking of Wang Baozhu's previous good grades, Teacher Li sighed and waved for Wang Baozhu to go back.
Teacher Li realized that she needed to create a new study plan for Wang Baozhu.
If her grades don't improve in the monthly exam, she's doomed too.
Teacher Li assured the principal that the students he recruited were absolutely outstanding, which is why the principal agreed to pay for them.
The money has already been spent; if I don't produce results, I'm afraid I'll be fired.
Teacher Li gave a wry smile and resignedly buried herself in writing lesson plans.
But Teacher Li probably never imagined that the grades of the students she had high hopes for were stolen, and that they had now all been returned.
After staying at home for a few days, Wang Baozhu couldn't take it anymore and returned to Anshi No. 1 High School.
But now that he's back, new troubles have arisen.
Wang Baozhu can no longer understand what the teacher is saying in class. She only managed to get 58 points on the recent Chinese quiz because she had cheated.
What will she do when math class starts?
There's no way to cheat in math.
Compared to Wang Baozhu's chaotic situation, Wang Chuxia was much happier.
"Early summer, you're finally back."
Seeing Chu Xia sit down with a book in her arms, Song You leaned over and whispered something.
Looking at the teacher on the podium, Chu Xia gestured for Song You to be quiet with one hand, and took out a notebook to write on it with the other.
He quickly wrote a line of text, and when the teacher wasn't looking, he threw the crumpled paper onto Song You's desk.
After Song You received it, she lowered her head and quietly opened it, only to see what was written on it.
[Song You, thank you so much this time. I saw your dad this morning, and he didn't seem as serious as you described.]
After reading it, Song You pouted at Chu Xia, picked up her pen, and wrote something under that sentence.
[Early summer, you must be imagining things. My dad is really serious.]
After writing it, Song You tossed the note back to Chu Xia.
The two of them kept each other informed about what had happened in the past few days by passing notes.
Just then, the teacher on the podium spoke.
"Students, we have received a notice from the Education Bureau that the first monthly exam after the start of the semester will be a city-wide unified exam. That means all ten high schools in the city will participate. You can then see where your scores rank in the city."
Upon hearing this, the students below exclaimed in surprise.
"Teacher, do we repeat students also need to participate?"
"Of course, this is a city-wide unified exam. Not only senior students, but also junior and senior students like you will participate."
"Seriously? They've only just arrived and they've already made such a big fuss?"
Song You, standing next to Chu Xia, complained.
She came here with her father partly as an escape, because back in Shenzhen, she could hardly sleep until midnight every night.
Endless homework, countless essays to write, it's so tough!
"But I think it's great. It's a chance to prove myself, and I want to see where I rank in the city."
Early summer smiled faintly, her face full of anticipation.
"Keep it up, I believe in you. But speaking of which, how did you manage to get such bad grades before? I think you're quite smart."
Song You looked puzzled; Chu Xia's grades shouldn't be that bad.
"I don't know either, maybe I just hadn't figured it out yet."
Chu Xia smiled nonchalantly. Anyway, she had been in a good state lately, and studying was not difficult. She was sure she would do better in this monthly exam than before.
Not long after the teacher finished speaking, it was time for get out of class to end. Song You dragged Chu Xia along to the restroom.
When they finished using the restroom and were passing by the playground, Yan Xue stopped them.
However, she didn't come for Chu Xia, but for Song You.
"Song You, I was blind and offended you. I apologize to you, okay?"
Yan Xue adopted a very humble attitude and spoke much more gently.
At noon, her uncle told her that she had to build a good relationship with Song You, since her father was the director of the city's education bureau.
Hearing Yan Xue's affected voice, Song You got goosebumps all over. What was Yan Xue up to now?
"No way, just don't mess with us again."
After Song You finished speaking, she pulled Chu Xia away, leaving Yan Xue stamping her feet as she watched their retreating figures.
"Song You, you're really something, so tough today."
Chu Xia said jokingly.
"That's right, my dad came to support me today."
Song You raised her smug little expression.
Suddenly, Song You thought of something and froze.
Thinking of Chu Xia's father who had passed away long ago, Song You added another sentence, worried that her previous words might upset Chu Xia.
"But my aunt is also very capable. She gives me the feeling that she has more presence than the female leaders I have met in Shenzhen."
Song You started out just to comfort Chu Xia, but now she's getting more and more excited as she talks. She really likes Chu Xia's mother's personality.
Tense days always pass quickly. It feels like only a few days have passed, but in the blink of an eye, it's already the end of the month.
In early summer, their school was already posting the exam rosters.
To ensure fairness and impartiality, this time, senior high school students took the exam in the classrooms of junior high school students, junior high school students took the exam in the classrooms of senior high school students, and junior high school students took the exam in the classrooms of junior high school students.
Furthermore, each school exchanges invigilators, meaning that all the invigilators at each school are from other schools.
"Early summer, this time it feels really strict. I wonder how difficult the questions are?"
"What are you afraid of, Song You? I think your grades are pretty good, and your English pronunciation is just like a foreigner on a cassette tape."
Song You blushed slightly as Chu Xia praised her.
"It's alright, I'm not that good."
However, Song You changed the subject and said...
"Early Summer, I think you must have done well on the exam. How about we make a bet? The loser has to make hot water for the winner for a week."
Song You is very confident about early summer.
"How to bet?"
Chu Xia asked curiously.
"I bet you can get into the top 100 in the city this time."
"Song You, why do you have so much confidence in me?"
Chu Xia said with a laugh that even she herself was not sure, but Song You was absolutely certain about it.
"In early summer, Song You was just being nice and teasing you. She didn't want to hurt you, and you actually believed her."
Xu Jiajia, who had been listening for a long time, spoke up.
But Xu Jiajia didn't know that after the results came out in early summer, she single-handedly transformed Class 6 of Senior Three into Experimental Class 6.
