Chapter 96 (Exclusive from Jinjiang Literary City)

A blessing in disguise.

Failing the exam due to illness will not turn out to be a bad thing. Instead, it confirms some of Shen Baili's guesses.

There is a critical point in learning mindfulness at eleventh place.

Why is it eleventh?

Shen Baili searches for answers.

As a nationally renowned city key school, Haicheng No. 1 Middle School's emphasis on and investment in education is not only reflected in its teaching staff, infrastructure, etc., but also in its practical incentive measures for students.

To this end, the school has established various reward mechanisms.

The top ten students in their grade will be exempted from tuition, sundry fees, living expenses and other fees, and will receive generous scholarships.

Being in the top ten of the grade not only brings honor, but also "paid" learning.

In this midterm exam, Shen Baili fell out of the top ten in her grade. She will not be required to return the waived fees, but she will not be eligible for this term's generous scholarship.

To be honest, Shen Baili felt a little sad because she was obsessed with the scholarship.

She was heartbroken as she pieced the clues together.

.

In her previous life, Shen Baili attended the only middle school in the town. This middle school was very simple, and the teaching staff was far inferior to that of Haicheng No. 1 Middle School.

The town's middle school is very poor, but every year it waives tuition and miscellaneous fees for the top ten students in the grade, as well as giving them a cash reward of ten yuan.

This money is not much, but it is the key for Shen Baili to go to school.

Only with the tuition waiver and a scholarship of ten yuan did her parents allow their laborer to continue her studies. Otherwise, they would have let Shen Baili drop out of school right after she graduated from elementary school.

Being allowed to go to school does not mean that Shen Baili can spend all her time on studying, doing all the housework and taking care of her younger siblings.

As soon as I fell out of the top ten, my family immediately arranged for me to drop out of school.

She is like an old ox that is whipped all the time, the only difference is that she has hope.

The teacher described the outside world to them.

The teacher said that studying changes your destiny.

Shen Baili took it to heart, and she always believed that she could get out of the mountains and change her fate.

Later... later she escaped from the mountains, and then what happened... Shen Baili couldn't remember, and her memories after that were sealed.

But she knew that she did not go to school later, otherwise it would not have become her lifelong obsession.

Shen Baili held the report card and lowered her eyes.

Her obsession with studying is not only related to getting into college, but also to her grades.

Only if she ranks in the top ten can she continue her studies and have a chance to continue her studies.

Therefore, being in the top ten in the whole grade is a crucial threshold, and this obsession with learning ignores the added value brought by the Mathematical Olympiad, and it only recognizes the results of the college entrance examination and major examinations.

Shen Baili thought about it for a moment and understood the reason.

In poor mountainous areas with backward educational resources, there is no guarantee of getting a spot in the Olympic Mathematics Competition. It was even more impossible for Zhou Yu to know that at that time.

Ah Deng: "Isn't it too stressful to have to rank in the top ten in every exam?"

While Shen Baili was working hard, A Deng had been absorbing knowledge from this world. She knew how difficult it was for students to stay in the top ten in their grade in a key high school full of top students.

Every year is strong, but every year is also hard.

Ah Deng saw all her efforts and was very worried.

Shen Baili rubbed Xiao Naiju's head imperceptibly: "A Deng, I'm not tired."

The little orange turned over on the test paper, revealing his round body.

In the eyes of Qiao Yi and others, it was not strange to see Shen Baili flipping through the test papers.

Meng Jiuan lay on the table, moved the textbook down, revealing one eye, and quietly looked at Shen Baili, but the latter did not notice.

Lu Mingqian is solving a difficult problem and writing down the steps.

Ruan Mian was holding the second place report card, wondering what she was thinking.

Shen Baili continued to communicate with Ah Deng through brain waves. She said frankly: "No matter in the past life or this life, learning is a very happy thing for me."

During countless long nights, she was grateful that she was able to study.

Learning knowledge carries too many hopes for her: the hope of breaking free from the cage, the hope of freedom, the hope of moving forward... She draws nourishment from it and gradually becomes stronger.

"I will remain number one in the entire grade." Shen Baili was ambitious.

This defeat was a test and a warning.

"I've figured out what I need to let go of."

It's time to do subtraction.

Shen Baili made a decision quickly and went to the office to find her class teacher.

She voluntarily gave up her place in the Mathematical Olympiad.

Deng Qin listened to her request carefully and did not agree immediately. Instead, she analyzed the pros and cons of the Mathematical Olympiad from Shen Baili's perspective.

Shen Baili did not waver, and Deng Qin respected the students' opinions.

In Deng Qin's view, her monitor is the type who will succeed no matter what he does.

She has her own opinions, ideas and the courage to act.

Shen Baili pursed her lips: "Thank you, teacher. I'll go back to the classroom now."

Deng Qin patted her arm and said, "Okay, you are excellent. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Our squad leader can succeed in everything he does."

"A healthy body and a smart mind are both important."

Deng Qin raised her arms and smiled as she showed off her biceps.

Shen Baili curled up the corners of her mouth, rolled up her sleeves, and showed off her beautiful muscular lines: "I will."

Deng Qin smiled with relief: "Come on, squad leader."

When Shen Baili left the office, her steps were much lighter, as if she had put down a heavy stone.

She glanced at it and was stunned.

Deng Qin leaned over to pick up a pen. When she stood up, a large scabbed wound and bruises were exposed on her collar.

Shen Baili stopped immediately. Deng Qin had already stood up and put on her coat, even zipping it up to her chin as if she was hiding something.

Am I seeing this wrong?

No...she definitely wasn't seeing things. Teacher Deng Qin was injured?

Who treated her violently?

Shen Baili's eyes were solemn, and her feet seemed to be sealed with cement, unable to move at all.

How can she help the teacher?

…

Shen Baili returned to her seat with a heavy heart, and Qiao Yi immediately stuffed a piece of chocolate into her mouth.

"Very sweet!" Joey ate one herself.

Shen Baili nodded: "Very sweet."

Ji Qi noticed something was wrong with Shen Baili: "Sui Sui, did the teacher scold you?"

His tone was cautious.

Shen Baili shook her head: "No."

She didn't reveal the teacher's privacy and made an excuse: "I'm thinking about a math problem."

Ji Qi had no doubt: "You are really... awesome!"

Lu Mingqian: "Which question? Let me help you."

Shen Baili took out the exercise book, marked the major questions she didn't know how to answer, and handed it to Lu Mingqian.

"Thank you."

Lu Mingqian: "You're welcome."

He lowered his head to look at the question, frowning in thought.

This question is beyond the scope of the topic.

…

The next day.

Shen Baili came to the school with a business card of a gold medal divorce lawyer.

As soon as she sat down, she noticed that the atmosphere in the classroom was not right.

"What's wrong?" Shen Baili asked.

Qiao Yi said absentmindedly: "People from the next class said that our head teacher was beaten up."

"The monitor next door heard the teachers' conversation in the office. Teacher Deng had suffered... domestic violence."
