Ye Linchen sighed as he looked at Teacher Ma's excited expression.
Teacher Ma is blindly filial to her parents; she wants the whole world to be just as blindly filial as she is.
On what grounds?
She didn't want to be the Ye family's blood money bag.
Judging from the way things are going today, if she doesn't meet Teacher Ma's expectations, he probably won't let her go.
She still wants to go back and do her test papers.
Forget it, I'll just brush it off for now. As for what I do, Teacher Ma has no say in it.
Thinking this, Ye Linchen nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to them."
Teacher Ma was very satisfied to see that Ye Linchen's attitude had softened.
His tone also softened.
"A loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer. You're a smart child; once the teacher explains the principle, you'll understand."
"As for Meng Zihan's previous actions, it was indeed her fault. I've already talked to her, and she's stated that she will focus on her studies from now on and won't do anything foolish again."
"You are relatives, family. Family members don't hold grudges overnight. When you get home tonight, shake hands and make up with her. It's best for the family to live in harmony."
Ye Linchen listened to Teacher Ma's long speech without saying a word, silently praying that she would finish quickly so that he could go home as soon as possible.
Just as Teacher Ma was getting hoarse from talking and was about to take a sip of water to continue, Ye Linchen seized the opportunity to express his opinion.
“Teacher Ma, what you said makes perfect sense. I’ve taken it all into consideration.”
Whether or not to do it is another matter entirely.
Teacher Ma was very pleased to see that she had such a good attitude.
Ye Linchen hasn't gone too far astray; he can still be educated.
Fortunately, I was patient enough to pull Ye Linchen back in time.
If it were another irresponsible teacher, how could they teach her with such dedication?
Ye Linchen will definitely realize how good she is in the future and come back to thank her!
Teacher Ma decided to press his advantage.
“It’s inconvenient and unsafe for a girl like you to live outside, and it’s not good for your reputation. Now that you’ve made up with your family, you should move back home to ease their burden and make it easier for your mother to take care of you.”
Ye Linchen couldn't be ambiguous about this matter. If she gave in again, Teacher Ma would probably make her give money to her family.
She resorted to her usual excuse.
"Teacher Ma, this is inconvenient. I have already paid my rent until after the college entrance examination, and the landlord will not refund the money if I leave the house."
"Moreover, my house is small, with only three rooms, which is not enough for four students to live in. They would also disturb each other's studies. It is more convenient for me to live outside, so that we can avoid disturbing each other."
“My dad agreed, and I will live outside until the end of the college entrance examination.”
That makes sense.
Teacher Ma didn't want to ask any further, so she nodded.
"Okay, remember to be more generous in the future, don't be so narrow-minded, and be more tolerant of your parents, understand?"
"I know," Ye Linchen replied impatiently.
"I won't take up any more of your time. You can go back now. Remember to be tolerant."
Ye Linchen didn't want to stay a second longer and turned to leave.
Back in the classroom, all the students had left. Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan went home first to get their dinner.
Only the students on duty were cleaning.
This includes Meng Zihan, who was punished by being made to do cleaning for a week.
Seeing Ye Linchen return, she threw the rag in her hand onto the table, walked over and greeted Ye Linchen with a warm smile.
"Cousin, have you decided who will attend your parent-teacher conference?"
Ye Linchen glared at her and ignored her.
They can harm someone and then turn around and pretend nothing happened.
This person's shamelessness is simply unimaginable.
She returned to her seat, packed her things, and left the classroom amidst Meng Zihan's resentful gaze.
I was delayed by Teacher Ma today. I need to hurry back and start cooking the rice and make a simple dish.
Just as Ye Linchen was frowning, pondering what dish to make, she heard someone calling her.
"Ye Linchen!"
She looked up and saw Ye Zhenghua standing at the school gate, waving at her with a big smile on his face.
"Xiao Chen! Over here!"
Ye Linchen clicked his tongue.
The Ye family is really persistent, one after another crowding around her.
She wanted to pretend she didn't see them and just walk around them, but the students passing by were all looking at them curiously, so she couldn't ignore them and had to bite the bullet and walk over.
Ye Zhenghua didn't notice her impatience and said to himself, "Xiao Chen, the parent-teacher conference is about to start."
“Your mother and I discussed it, and she will hold the parent-teacher conference for Xiaohan, while I will hold yours.”
Ye Zhenghua felt that the parent-teacher meeting was a good opportunity to ease the tension between him and his daughter.
Firstly, most of the parents in his class are employees of the steel mill. By holding a parent-teacher meeting for Ye Linchen, he can show these employees that the Ye family's relationship is not as bad as the rumors outside suggest.
Secondly, Ye Linchen's good grades make him look good when he attends parent-teacher conferences.
Moreover, he always felt that the conflict between Ye Linchen and the Ye family mainly stemmed from Meng Xueyun, and that there was no direct conflict between him and Ye Linchen.
Therefore, even if Ye Linchen didn't want Meng Xueyun to attend the parent-teacher conference, he wouldn't refuse her.
But this time he was very wrong.
After hearing his words, Ye Linchen refused without hesitation: "No need."
Ye Zhenghua was stunned when his daughter rejected him outright, and the smile on his face froze.
He touched his face and said unhappily, "Xiao Chen, can you not be so stubborn? I know you have grievances against your family, but so much time has passed, and your parents genuinely want to make it up to you. Why do you have to keep acting like this?"
Ye Linchen looked at Ye Zhenghua with a mocking smile and sneered.
“I’ve been attending parent-teacher conferences by myself since I started school, and I sign the papers myself. I’m used to it and don’t want to trouble you.”
She was telling the truth.
Ye Linchen's grandmother was an elderly woman from the countryside who was illiterate.
He didn't particularly love Ye Linchen; he just fed her and kept her from starving.
Sometimes, he would even hurl insults at her, saying she was a money-loser and that studying was useless.
Compared to Ye Linchen, her grandmother valued her eldest uncle's grandsons more and would never attend her parent-teacher conferences.
Her uncle and aunt even looked down on her, considering her a burden. No matter what she did, they always complained.
It's even less likely that I'll attend her parent-teacher conference.
Therefore, Ye Linchen has always managed everything at school on his own since he was a child.
In rural areas, students' parents are generally farmers who make a living by working the land and do not pay much attention to their children's studies, so such situations are not uncommon.
The teachers were used to it and didn't find it strange.
She never expected that when she returned to the city, Teacher Ma and the Ye family would make a fuss about it.
However, she didn't enjoy the happiness of having her parents attend parent-teacher conferences when she was a child, and she doesn't need it anymore now that she's grown up.
Ye Zhenghua got angry when he saw that Ye Linchen still had such an unruly and stubborn attitude.
