Lin Zhengran was about to speak when Su Meilian arrived before he could even make a sound.
"Should we take turns ringing the bell or let her do it alone?"
Mo Xiwen looked at Su Meilin coldly. This woman was not a good person either. She came at a very specific time every day and liked to gossip about others everywhere.
Last time, she hadn't changed her clothes for two days and Su Meilin spread the news that she hadn't taken a shower for a week. As a result, her classmates gave her another nickname.
Su Meilian didn't take Mo Xiwen seriously. She was just a woman who relied on her age to bully others. How could I be afraid of you?
She put the cloth bag on her desk, pushed Bai Yiyi away with her fat body, looked at Mo Xiwen with a smile, waiting for her reply.
"Or you two can take turns knocking." Mo Xiwen said.
Su Meilian looked at her quietly and thought to herself: How dare you think that? You cheated Lin Zhengran and now you want to cheat me?
Mo Xiwen has more seniority here than anyone else here.
If the school has a large number of students and a position of vice-principal or dean of studies is created, Mo Xiwen will be the best person to be nominated, so her opinion is second only to that of the principal.
But Mo Xiwen is just a teacher now.
Lin Zhengran was not afraid of offending her because she would not be able to hold this job for long.
Su Meilian has never taken anyone seriously, let alone Mo Xiwen.
Before she could open her mouth, Lin Zhengran said, "I have no objection if everyone takes turns ringing the bell."
When Mo Xiwen heard her say that, her face suddenly turned ugly. How dare Lin Zhengran disobey her?
Su Meilian also looked at Mo Xiwen with a smile, wondering how she would step down.
We are all equal, so why would you give us the face to tell us what to do?
A male teacher, noticing the awkward atmosphere, stood up and muttered, "It's just a bell. At most, I'll go home later. Teacher Su, why are you being so aggressive? You have nothing to do when you get home anyway."
Su Meilian turned around and snarled at him, "You're an old man, but all you know is to beg for food. You didn't even bother to help when the oil bottle at home fell over. Why don't you stay and knock on the door?"
He then asked, "To use it in such a way that it's aggressive, did your teacher graduate from elementary school?"
When it comes to culture, everyone here, including the principal, is not as good as Su Meilin, so the male teacher was so embarrassed by Su Meilin that he sat down.
Su Meilan was very satisfied with her masterpiece. I feed the child every two hours. I even bring the child to school. Are you blind and you still say I am idle?
"Before the principal left, he said that Teacher Mo would be in charge of school matters. It would be bad if you didn't listen. After all, Teacher Mo is the boss now." said a thin female teacher.
Mo Xiwen raised her head high when she heard someone speaking for her.
Lin Zhengran glanced at the teacher, then turned to ask Mo Xiwen:
"If ringing the bell is a rotation, I have no objection. But Teacher Mo designated me as the only one to ring the bell. I have reason to suspect that you are targeting me. Teacher Mo, can you give me a reason to let me ring the bell every day?"
Of course Mo Xiwen had no reason, but she was definitely targeting Lin Zhengran because she just couldn't stand seeing her doing well.
Mo Xiwen said, "Didn't I tell you that you're the only one who has a watch?"
Su Meilian sneered, "Two of the four male teachers in the office have watches. Why don't you ask them to ring?"
Without waiting for Mo Xiwen to explain, Su Meilian said to Lin Zhengran, "Don't doubt it, she is targeting you."
Mo Xiwen's face suddenly showed embarrassment. Lin Zhengran responded to her attitude by sitting down without saying a word.
Whoever wants to ring the bell can ring it.
Su Meilian tilted her head to look at Mo Xiwen, "I can ring the bell..."
Mo Xiwen immediately looked at Su Meilian, and she smiled and said, "The principal has been out for a meeting for ten days. I gave you ten cents a day. Please give me the money."
"There's money for ringing the bell?" another teacher asked in surprise.
"One cent a day."
Su Meilian said, "I heard the principal tell Teacher Mo with my own ears, and the money was given to her."
She was feeding her baby in the utility room that day and heard it with her own ears.
Mo Xiwen looked embarrassed. She couldn't deny it. If someone went to the principal and asked, she would definitely be exposed.
"Teacher Mo, this is a bit unkind." said the male teacher who came in with them.
“Ding ding ding…”
When Mo Xiwen was unable to get down from the stage, the bell for class rang. All the teachers were in the office. At this time, someone rang the bell. It should be the principal who came back.
Mo Xiwen didn't explain and was the first to walk out of the office.
The further Mo Xiwen walked, the angrier he became. He had thought Lin Zhengran was a pushover, but he turned out to be so tough.
If Lin Zhengran agreed to ring the bell today, she wouldn't lose face.
When she saw the principal approaching her, Mo Xiwen's mind went blank for some reason and she opened her mouth and said, "Principal, I want to report someone."
Feng Shui's first reaction was annoyance, and then he looked at Mo Xiwen carefully with a pair of turbid eyes.
The outside atmosphere cannot be brought here, otherwise how can all the teachers here be good?
All the teachers' files had passed through his hands, and he knew their backgrounds clearly; even he himself was not clean.
So no matter who this person is, no one can bring the outside atmosphere here.
"Principal, I want to report Lin Zhengran. She behaves like a capitalist, wearing new clothes and a brand-name watch every day. She even put my son in her class without paying tuition."
Lin Zhengran and Su Meilian were behind Mo Xiwen and happened to hear what she said.
Su Meilan called her a "gossip" and came to complain when she couldn't win the argument.
"Principal, before you rang the bell just now, Teacher Mo told Teacher Lin to ring the bell every day from now on, otherwise she would be in trouble."
Who wouldn't file a complaint? Since Lin Zhengran had taken her in last night, she also filed a complaint on his behalf.
Feng Shui felt a headache looking at the three women, but this matter had to be resolved immediately today.
"Go and arrange your class's studies and come to my office immediately." Feng Shui nodded at them and said.
Without hesitation, they all went back to their classes to make arrangements. After Lin Zhengran arranged for the students to study on their own, he also went back to the office.
Her desk was next to Bai Yiyi's, and they usually sat face to face. Sometimes when they were in a hurry, it was normal for Bai Yiyi to just put her things down and leave.
Usually at this time Lin Zhengran would put it back to her.
There was an extra book on the desk today. Lin Zhengran picked it up and was about to put it back, but when he was halfway up, the photo sandwiched between the books slipped down.
Lin Zhengran picked up the photos one by one and took a look. These photos were neither of scenery nor of people.
She was surprised at the moment, because Su Meilin said that Bai Yiyi's family was not well off.
Your family is not well off, but you still have spare money to buy a camera to take these photos without people in them?
And why are the photos taken clearer than the ones taken with Qin Shouguo?
She and Qin Shouguo took several photos to commemorate the day they got their marriage certificate, and they were much blurrier than the one above.
The principal was waiting, so Lin Zhengran didn't think much about it and put the book on Bai Yiyi's desk.
When he reached the door, for some reason, Lin Zhengran returned, picked up the book and put it back to its previous place.
