Chapter 78 Confidants and Major Hidden Dangers
Some students received subsidies but didn't take them home. Instead, they spent all their time at the convenience store and squandered the money in less than two weeks.
After receiving the money, Shen Xuewei took it directly home to her maternal grandfather, Chen, for safekeeping.
Although she is studying here, her parents will not send money to her just because she is studying at her maternal grandparents' house.
On the contrary, her father still harbors resentment about the household registration issue from back then.
True to her word, she hasn't called in a long time, and even her mother's calls have become less frequent.
Chen Fangyang of the Chen family is wealthy, but Chen's maternal grandfather is unwilling to accept money from the couple.
The elderly couple felt that after accepting Chen Fangyang's money, they would never be able to stand up straight in front of Zhao Fang'er again.
Chen Fanglan's salary has been rising steadily over the years, and she sends 300 yuan back to the elderly couple every month.
However, the elderly couple were unwilling to spend her money.
They felt that Chen Fanglan was divorced and unable to have children, and if she got married in the future, she would be looked down upon by her husband's family because she did not have a generous dowry.
The money was sent back and saved up, intended for her to use for a wedding banquet and dowry when she remarries in the future.
The two hundred yuan that Shen Xuewei brought home wasn't much, but it was enough for her living expenses for four or five weeks.
The elderly couple were very happy to receive the money and kept urging Shen Xuewei to study hard.
As the weather turned cooler, Mingda Secondary School held its midterm exams.
When the exam results came out, among the homeroom teachers of the first-year junior high school classes, Ms. Fang, the homeroom teacher of Class 5, was the happiest, walking with a swagger.
How could she not be happy?
There are nine classes in the first year of junior high school, and the top two students in the grade are both in their class.
Of the top three in the grade, Class 5 alone occupies two spots, and even those are the top two positions.
During the class meeting, the way she looked at Shen Xuewei and her deskmate Wang Zhuoxi was so gentle it was almost dripping with tenderness.
During the class meeting, the two were praised repeatedly, and all the students in the class were encouraged to learn from them.
However, when the gaze shifted to the student sitting at the back of the classroom near the trash can, his face immediately fell.
Shen Xuewei and Wang Zhuoxi are the teachers' confidantes, while the others are their biggest worry.
"Of course, the teacher believes that many students in our class are very diligent and hardworking. However, the teacher still needs to criticize some students..."
The top two students in the grade are in Class 5 of the first year of junior high school, and the bottom three students are also in Class 5.
"I'm telling you all this for your own good. There's a saying: 'One who doesn't know the importance of studying hard in youth will regret it in old age.' You're still young; study hard now so you won't regret it later..."
Most of the students in the class listened attentively, as if they had absorbed the information.
However, the students in the back row of the class just scratched their ears, looking completely unconcerned, and chatted with a grin as if the teacher above them didn't exist.
Seeing this, the homeroom teacher couldn't help but get angry and shouted, "Wang Min, Sun Zhiming, Lin Dongliang, come to my office after class!"
This wasn't the first time the three of them had been called to the office, so they weren't afraid of what was said.
He simply drawled out, "I know, teacher."
After finishing the class meeting, Ms. Fang suppressed her anger and led the three students to her office for a heart-to-heart talk.
The classmates had no idea how the discussion went. Anyway, when the three of them returned from the office, they were still acting nonchalant, and even talked loudly and disrupted the teacher's class.
The other teachers simply ignored them and pretended not to see them.
The political science teacher couldn't stand it anymore. "If you guys don't want to pay attention in class, then you don't need to attend any of my classes anymore. Go wherever you want to play, or stand outside."
"Don't take your grades seriously, and don't bother the other students. Get out of here!"
The three of them exchanged a glance, chuckled, and swaggered out of the classroom.
The political science teacher looked away and sighed.
She had tried to persuade these children several times before when they caused trouble, but their attitude not only did not improve, but they became even more outrageous.
So hopeless, she simply didn't want to deal with them anymore.
Take it or leave it. If she doesn't want to learn, fine. Anyway, she won't be the one who regrets it later.
She patted the stage, drawing everyone's attention back to the platform.
"Alright, students, ignore them. Let's continue the lesson..."
Shen Xuewei thought there would be no more follow-up.
However, when class started in the afternoon, she found that the homeroom teacher had separated the three students and moved their seats to the front.
One student was placed on the left and one on the right, each near the door, and the third student was placed under the teacher's podium.
This arrangement kept the three of them quiet for quite some time.
Until the three of them beat up one of the students the teacher had his eye on.
The student who was beaten was named Wu Zhibin. Although his grades were not among the top three in the class, they were often among the top five. He was one of the good students in the eyes of the teachers.
He was rather plump, probably because he often helped with farm work during holidays, and his skin was also quite dark.
Coupled with her quiet and timid personality, she became the target of bullying by the three men.
At first, they remained silent when bullied, but seeing this, the three became even bolder.
Not only did they give him nicknames like "Fat Pig" and "Black Egg," but Lin Dongliang, who was sitting in front of him, also deliberately moved his seat back to squeeze his space.
He had been silently enduring it, but as his space to move around became increasingly limited, he couldn't help but retort twice.
It was during recess, and the three of them were laughing and joking together. When Lin Dongliang heard that he dared to disobey, he felt embarrassed and pushed him.
The two people next to them also gave it a push.
This is going to be very serious.
Wu Zhibin lost his balance and fell backward, even crushing the student behind him and breaking one of his ribs.
With such a commotion, a teacher's informant quickly ran to the office and told the teacher.
The teacher rushed over and took the injured student to the infirmary.
As for the fact that the three of them had been bullying Wu Zhibin, it could no longer be kept secret.
Shen Xuewei never spoke a single word to the three of them from the very beginning.
In her past life, she was also one of the victims of school bullying. From the beginning, she had no good feelings towards these three people and always kept her distance.
I just didn't expect it to go this far.
The parents of the three students were called in, and they were even assigned seats outside in the hallway, which was equivalent to being completely exiled by the homeroom teacher.
After this incident, the three men's reputation spread throughout the first year of junior high school, and many students avoided them.
When Wu Yuhong got home from school, she also asked about this.
After hearing this from Shen Xuewei, a look of disgust appeared on her face, and she said:
"Sigh, those three guys in your class are really awful. Our class isn't that bad, though... the boy who sits behind me always pulls my hair on purpose and unties my belt..."
Wu Yuhong is four years older than Shen Xuewei, and is now thirteen years old.
She was at the age of puberty.
At this stage, teenage girls usually wear small bras, some of which are the kind with straps tied around their necks.
Some mischievous boys will deliberately untie girls' belts to make them angry and embarrassed, and they find pleasure in doing so.
