Chapter 5 Raise your hand and slap him
"What can't you say to me? I've eaten your corn buns and promised your mother to take care of you, so don't be polite to me."
Su Li smiled like an old mother and encouraged her to speak boldly.
"Teacher Su, the Academic Affairs Office informed me that the school has decided to withdraw my poverty subsidy quota, saying that there are students who need it more than I do."
As Zhao Xinran spoke, tears began to fall down her face.
Su Li was stunned and pretended to be shocked, "How could this happen? Wasn't it announced yesterday?"
Zhao Xinran sniffed and sobbed, "The Dean of Studies said a classmate gave anonymous feedback last night, saying my family isn't poor. Teacher Su, you know my family's situation, and I really do need this poverty subsidy."
Haha, the national poverty subsidy is eight yuan a month, which is enough for her food expenses for half a month.
She works part-time during the holidays to help her family with some financial support. Not only can she have a relaxed time during the next semester, but she can also buy nice clothes like the girls in the city.
Su Li thought, you finally found the right person, just wait.
But her face furrowed again, and she looked particularly indignant. "Send the bike to the parking shed, and I'll go to the Academic Affairs Office to ask. How can you just say it's gone?"
Zhao Xinran was waiting for her to say this. She quickly wiped her tears and took her bicycle.
"Thank you, Teacher Su!"
Seeing Zhao Xinran riding his bike towards the parking shed behind the playground, Su Li curled her lips.
The bicycle shed is a bit far from the teaching building. I always get sweaty when I ride there and walk back under the scorching sun. If someone is willing to do it for me, why not?
Su Li sat down in the office, drank some water, and held a palm-leaf fan.
You must go to the principal's office, but you have to rest well and feel comfortable before going.
She had just slapped him twice when the dean came to find her first.
"Teacher Su, come to my office for a moment."
Su Li quickly put down her fan and followed him, "Director Zhang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
The principal was a middle-aged woman in her forties with a kind face. She was always friendly to these young teachers.
But there is one thing: I can never tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes.
"Teacher Su, Zhao Xinran in your class has always been excellent. You recommended her for poverty assistance, and the school has verified and publicly announced her case. But last night, we suddenly received a report alleging that she is extravagant and has a less-than-perfect personal life.
So the Moral Education Department and the Academic Affairs Department held a meeting to discuss this matter. Zhao Xinran's place this year has been cancelled. You should go and work with the students. Don't tell anyone about the report, as it will have a bad impact on her.
Director Zhang hates two types of students the most. One type is those who are not motivated and waste their time in college.
The other type is promiscuity, especially some female college students who always think that they will become successful after going to college.
Su Li pretended to be anxious when she heard the director say this. "Director, are you mistaken? Zhao Xinran has good grades and good discipline in the class, and her family's situation is indeed very difficult..."
Director Zhang waved his hand. "Teacher Su, I understand how you feel. You certainly didn't know about this, but we've received the report. If you truly didn't do it, or if you've corrected it, you can apply again next year. Our country provides poverty subsidies to cultivate talent, not to encourage selfish motives. Go back and explain this to her."
Su Li did not refute, but lowered her eyes and nodded, "I will guide you well. By the way, Director, please consider me for our school's further study in the provincial capital. I think what you said before is right. We should continue to improve while we are young."
"Last year, when I asked you about it, you said you were too busy at home so you gave the opportunity to someone else. This year, you took the initiative. Your thinking has improved. I will consider you if a position becomes available."
"Thank you, Director. I'll do her job then."
When Su Li came out of the teaching office, she saw Zhao Xinran standing at the stairs. Her face was flushed, her bangs were touching her forehead, and her eyes were eager.
Su Li glanced at her without saying anything and walked straight to the corridor entrance.
Zhao Xinran followed quietly.
"Xinran, I tried my best. Director Zhang only said that someone reported you, but he didn't say what. Think carefully about whether you have done anything you shouldn't have done."
Zhao Xinran shook her head repeatedly, "How could that be? Teacher Su, I've been at school the whole time, apart from going home with you, and I haven't done anything else."
She looked at Su Li's eyes, was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, thinking that no one else could know.
Could it be that someone saw her holding hands with Shao Ting'an at the school gate last night?!
Seeing that she didn't dare to look him in the face, Su Li sneered inwardly, "After the exam, you can go to the newspaper office and earn quite a bit. Besides, don't we have me and your brother Ting An? How can we just watch you go hungry?"
Zhao Xinran looked up with red eyes, "Thank you, Teacher Su, you are so kind to me."
Su Li only thought in her heart, I am not good enough to you, I will treat you better!
"I heard the newspaper is doing a follow-up report on the Pingjiang Machinery Factory next month. If that doesn't work out, I'll use my connections to get you in. The environment at the factory is much better than at the newspaper, so there should be extra subsidies."
When Zhao Xinran heard that they were going to Pingjiang Machinery Factory, his eyes lit up and he nodded quickly, "I don't mind. I can do anything. Teacher Su, you know that."
After smoothing the hair on her forehead, Su Li nodded and said, "Yes, you are very capable and can do anything. Go back to class quickly."
Zhao Xinran's mood improved not just a little bit, but significantly, and even his walking became much lighter.
If I go to the machinery factory, I will be closer to Shao Tingan, so why should I worry about not having money?
Su Li looked at her leaving back with cold eyes, thinking to herself, you are really capable. Not only can you seduce people, but you can also kill people.
Su Li was in a pretty good mood until she got home from get off work. She was even looking forward to seeing what Zhao Xinran would look like after arriving at the machinery factory.
Shao Ting'an also left work early today. When he walked in, he heard her humming a little tune while picking vegetables in the kitchen. He quietly walked up to her and hugged her from behind.
Su Li pretended to be bullied, turned around suddenly, raised her hand and slapped him, "Someone, help me..."
Shao Ting'an ignored the burning pain on his face and quickly covered her mouth, "Su Li, wife, it's me, it's me."
Of course Su Li knew it was him. She was not deaf, so how could she not hear the door opening?
Besides, the kitchen window faces the entrance to the corridor, and Su Li saw him locking his bicycle out of the corner of her eye.
She did it on purpose!
"Ouch, Ting'an, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you."
Su Li looked at the Five Finger Mountains, which were prominent on Shao Ting'an's face and had already swollen. She felt relieved. She had put in a lot of effort. However, her face was still filled with anxiety and concern. "Quickly, get a towel and apply cold water."
