Chapter 550: Cruel and Cold Words
"In fact, the teacher wanted Shao Tianyu to be with him at that time. After all, Shao Tianyu is also from the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and the teacher is more familiar with him."
For the competition in the capital, only the No. 1 Middle School in the city sent a teacher to lead the team, while teachers from other counties and cities were waiting for news in Yan City.
"But Li Youmin stood up and explained to me that it was a matter of convenience for him to live with the teacher. I didn't think much about it at the time, and the teacher agreed to it. But the next morning when the teacher was about to take us to the exam room, he couldn't find his watch."
The teacher's watch was placed on the table. There were only two teachers and three students in the room, which was not too many, but not too few either.
The watch was gone and no one wanted to doubt these students, but the facts were there.
In order to prove his innocence, Li Youmin suggested that the teacher search everyone's schoolbags.
"The watch was found in your schoolbag?" Lin Chuxia continued.
Lin Jiadong nodded, "Not really, the teacher's watch is also a Shanghai brand, I heard it's new."
Lin Chuxia understood.
In order to encourage her younger brother, she bought him a Shanghai brand men's watch during Lin Jiadong's training in the city.
My younger brother took good care of the watch. Besides, few of his classmates wore watches so ostentatiously, so he didn’t wear it on his wrist but kept it in his schoolbag.
"And then?"
"There was quite a commotion at the time. Before that, Li Youmin had said that there were security issues at the guesthouse and asked the guesthouse to be responsible. They were even going to report it to the police, but the teacher in charge suppressed it. As the time was up, they asked us to take the exam first. After the exam, classmate Hu helped me to testify that the watch in my bag was mine. The guesthouse asked if they needed to report it to the police, but the teacher in charge refused and just said that he had made a mistake. The matter was over, and the teacher never looked for the lost watch again."
Lin Chuxia knew that the teacher was doing this to protect these students to the greatest extent possible.
They are here to participate in a national mathematics competition, and the ten people selected from the province are all elites.
Once the public security comrades are involved, the reputation of these children will be affected no matter what the outcome.
It will even affect the final outcome of this competition.
For a student, such a national competition may be an opportunity to change his or her destiny, and teachers are reluctant to ruin the children's future.
So the things that happened in the past were brought up again when I returned to school?
Since the teacher did not pursue the matter at the time, the matter was most likely over. The teacher gave up a watch for the children's future.
It has been so long since the incident happened, and Lam Ka-tung came to see her today, so perhaps something has changed in their school.
Lin Jiadong's eyes turned red again. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and it was obvious that he felt really aggrieved.
"I don't know what happened. The day before yesterday, my results came out. I was very happy when I found out I ranked third. My teacher was also happy for me. The principal even praised me at the assembly. But when I returned to class, I noticed that my classmates looked at me in a strange way."
At first he didn't take it seriously and even thought it was because he won a place in the national competition.
After all, even he himself felt honored and incredible about the ranking in the national competition.
It was not until he went to the toilet and heard his classmates talking behind his back that he learned that his classmates knew about the teacher's lost watch at the Capital Guesthouse. From what they said, they even thought that he had taken the watch.
"What's the use of having good grades if your character is questionable."
"That's right. He was a small thief when he was young and a big thief when he grew up. Now he dares to steal the teacher's watch. Who knows what he will steal in the future."
"Yes, you said he would study hard and get into college, and then he would not sell out his country for money when he entered the society, right? What bottom line can a thief have?"
"You know what, those traitors are not just like him, and so are the teachers in the city. People like him should be handed over directly to the public security personnel to prevent them from harming others outside."
"I lost 50 cents in class last year. Do you think Lam Ka-tung stole it? I never suspected that my classmates were thieves."
"That's possible. After all, he stole watches from teachers in the city. What else can he not do? No wonder he dresses so well. I heard that his family lives in the village and their living conditions are similar."
"Not only does he dress well, he also eats well. I can barely afford to buy meat and vegetables once a month, but he has to eat them once a week. Whose family is so poor? I wonder where they get the money."
"I don't feel bad about the stolen money..."
…………
Lin Jiadong didn't know how he got back to the class.
All his clothes were bought for him by his second sister. He ate well because his second sister loved him and said that he was in the period of growing up and studying was tiring, so eating more meat could nourish his brain.
The living expenses his second sister gave him were more than those of all his roommates combined, so how could he steal other people's money?
He wanted to explain to those classmates, but how could he win over so many people with just one mouth?
Even his roommates were on guard against him.
They knew his situation and that he had a rich sister, so why didn't they believe him?
Lin Jiadong couldn't understand why the torment he had endured during this period of time was almost too much for him to bear.
"Second sister, I really didn't steal the watch. I didn't do anything..."
In the end, Lam Ka-tung couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lin Chuxia sighed. Her silly brother was so foolish that he was trapped and unable to get out just because others used some tricks and played some small tricks on him.
No wonder I lost the chance to go to college because of being framed in my previous life.
"Don't cry, I believe you."
Lin Chuxia patted his shoulder and asked, "Jiadong, do you still know why you went to school?"
Lin Jiadong nodded, and said with a nasal tone, "I know, study hard."
"Yes, did their gossip affect your listening in class? When they framed you, did they take away your books in front of you? Or did such rumors make the teacher exclude you and not tell you the key points of the teaching? Or did those rumors affect your sleep?"
Lin Jiadong thought for a while, and finally whispered, "The other things have no impact, but the last one, they said those things, I really didn't sleep well these two nights. I don't understand why they framed me, and they just followed the crowd without any evidence."
Lin Chuxia was so angry that she laughed again, and took the toilet paper from the table and threw it to him.
"Wipe it off first. Is it necessary to figure this out? Have you figured out the math, physics, and chemistry questions? Have you ever thought about why you only ranked third instead of first in this national competition?"
"Second sister," Lin Jiadong opened his mouth.
He didn't understand why his second sister, who had just said she was proud of him, suddenly started to dislike him.
Is it easy to be number one in the country?
The principal was so happy that he got third place in the exam. How could his second sister, who looked so gentle, say such cruel and cold words?
