Chapter 22 Everything I Want to Say Is on These Papers

Zhao Xinran looked worried and kept looking back as she went to the bathroom to wash her face.

Su Li roughly understood what was going on. Her father had suddenly gotten into trouble these past two days, which made her forget about this little episode.

She curved her lips and smiled, "Director, you really misunderstood."

Director Zhang waved his hand. "Teacher Su, I've always had high hopes for you, so I didn't report the report to the school right away. I've been looking for you these past two days. I've also asked a few of your neighbors who found the hospital from your home, and they say this girl does all the housework, like washing and cooking. And that's not all. She's even become the scapegoat for your family conflicts. You've gone too far. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

Director Zhang became more and more angry as she spoke, her hands were shaking. She had been working in education all her life and had never seen a teacher like this. She was really angry.

As soon as she finished speaking, the cleaning lady came over with a broom in hand. "Hey, Comrade Su, your little nanny is really capable. She brings you meals three times a day, washes and shovels, and is always busy without any complaints. She tells everyone she meets that you are a good person."

After saying this, the old lady left with a smile.

Su Li was confused. Who said Zhao Xinran was their family's nanny? Now she felt that she could never clear herself of the blame even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"Su Li, you've gone too far. Go back to school tomorrow morning and explain your problem to the school leaders."

After saying that, he stuffed the apple in his hand into Su Li's hand and said, "This is for seeing patients, it has nothing to do with you."

Su Li watched Director Zhang leave, a smile playing on her lips. In her previous life, she had also been reported, and although she had proven her innocence, she still had not been able to become an outstanding counselor.

Because she took Zhao Xinran's face into consideration in her previous life, in this life she not only wants to clear her name, but she will not give up the honor that belongs to her.

Zhao Xinran hurried over and whispered, "Teacher Su, Director Zhang looks very angry. What should we do?"

Su Li quickly calmed down and turned to look at her anxiously, "Xinran, come with me to school tomorrow and help me clarify this. Otherwise, you might lose your job."

Zhao Xinran was just thinking that Director Zhang happened to see the beating, and it might not be just a simple matter of evaluation. Su Li might be expelled from the school.

So she went to the bathroom and gave the cleaning lady fifty cents, asking her to say a few nice words. It seemed that adding fuel to the fire had a good effect.

She suppressed her excitement and said with a worried look, "Teacher Su, I will definitely help you explain it tomorrow."

She said this, but in her heart she was thinking that Director Zhang had already made up his mind and had witnessed her being scolded and beaten. She was afraid that the more she explained, the more suspicious Director Zhang would become.

Even if she was not expelled, a disciplinary action would damage her image in Shao Ting'an's mind.

"Thank you. I'll be counting on you tomorrow."

Su Li grabbed her hand, feeling very worried.

In the ward, Liu Guilan watched Zhao Xinran leave with her lunch box and exclaimed, "Little Zhao, this girl is so sensible!"

She liked this girl very much. She was hardworking and didn't mind any dirty or tiring work.

Su Li did not respond, but opened the handbag Fu Jinzhou gave him. He originally thought that it was ordinary candy and took two to satisfy his mother, but he did not expect that the entire packaging was in English.

Su Li recognized it. It was chocolate. There was a small gift box underneath, and the label on the box was also in English.

She opened it curiously, and as soon as she unscrewed the cap, a fresh and natural scent hit her nose.

It turned out to be a bottle of perfume, with an elegant lilac scent that was refreshing.

Su Li suddenly felt the bag in her hand was heavy, and she felt a little annoyed. Why did she take it without even looking at it?

These things are all foreign products, and you can’t buy them without some background and money.

I can't find anyone to return it to now. The chocolate might melt if left overnight, and chasing them to return the gift would make me look petty.

Suddenly I felt that the pen in my bag was light and for a moment I was worried about how to return the gift.

"Xiao Li, what are you thinking about? Go home tonight and see your father. They say there are no filial sons by the bedside of a long-term patient. You have been guarding your father all these days. That's enough."

Seeing her mother's misunderstanding, Su Li smiled and said, "You are here during the day, and my brother is here at night. The most I can do is accompany you."

After much thought, Su Li decided to give away the pen and return the perfume. After all, with a family background like Fu Jinzhou's, he would not be surprised by anything she gave him.

"Mom, take these two boxes of chocolates back for Zhuangzhuang to eat."

Liu Guilan had never seen or eaten anything like it before, so she stared at the bag and asked, "What is chocolate?"

"It's just candy. Take it back. Zhuangzhuang will definitely like it."

…

The next day, Su Li went back to her home early to get her things, and after meeting up with Zhao Xinran, she went to school.

When they arrived, Zhang Xuelian was already in the office.

Seeing that Su Li arrived later than her, she glared at Su Li with a dark face.

"You might as well come a little later and let the school leaders wait for you."

Su Li didn't refute, but smiled. "Director, everyone in the school knows that you're the first one to arrive and the last to leave. Everyone says you're the head of the family. Our school is like a big, warm family."

"Stop the flattery. I won't fall for it, and neither will the school leaders. Tell me your problem honestly later."

Su Li nodded and said obediently, "Don't worry, I will explain everything."

Zhao Xinran stood aside with her head slightly lowered, looking obedient and weak.

Director Zhang looked at her and felt sour in his heart. It seemed that this child was being enslaved and didn't even dare to raise her head.

The three of them had not been sitting in the conference room for two minutes when the principal, secretary and the leadership team came in one after another.

Su Li sighed secretly. If she hadn't had the habit of collecting stamps for many years, she would have been expelled from school.

"Director Zhang, please ask the students to step aside for a moment."

The principal spoke, and Zhang Xuelian patted Zhao Xinran's hand, "Son, go sit in the office next door for a while. Come back when I call you."

Zhao Xinran said anxiously: "Teacher Zhang, Teacher Su is really very good to me, not like what you said."

Director Zhang nodded. "You're a sensible child. The school leaders will make the decision for you. Don't be afraid. Go ahead."

Zhao Xinran walked away in small steps, and when she reached the door, she turned back and explained, "Teacher Su is really good to me."

Director Zhang shook his head repeatedly, thinking that even at this time, this kid was still defending Su Li so much, how afraid of her was he?

"Teacher Su, your student is so protective of you, how do you treat her?"

Su Li did not explain, but handed the thick stack of letters in her bag to Zhang Xuelian.

"Director, please take a look at these before you convict me."

Zhang Xuelian took the letters from her hand and read them one by one. All the letters were sent from a place called Dalui Village in Dongjiang Province.

She read one letter and forwarded it to the school leaders. It turned out to be from Zhao Xinran's mother. The handwriting was very ugly, but the words were full of gratitude. She was grateful that she gave her daughter living expenses and let her live and eat in her home.

She was also grateful that she sent her money from time to time, helping her family overcome one difficulty after another.

Zhao Xinran is the eldest in the family and she has three younger brothers. Her father passed away six years ago, and it was Su Li who paid her tuition for going to college.

In addition to a thick stack of letters, there was also a small stack of bank remittance slips.

After reading it, Zhang Xuelian looked at Su Li for a long time without saying a word. Thinking of Zhao Xinran's sincere eyes, she believed that Su Li was really good to that student.

Su Li looked at her and smiled, "Director, you've always been my supervisor. Don't you know who I am? You can pretend for a while, but you can't pretend for three years, right? Everything I want to say is written on these papers. After the school leaders read them, I will accept any punishment they give me."

Director Zhang felt a little guilty, and felt even more embarrassed when he saw Su Li's frank smile.

The principal said in a low voice with a sullen face, "Call that student in and ask about the situation."
