Chapter 25
Jian Li showed off her prowess at home.
The nickname "Chopstick Brothers" spread throughout the family compound along with wonderful insults such as "You are thin, you are thin, you weigh two and a half kilograms including the ash box."
Then it spread to various schools at the speed of a virus.
During the break, Jian Li heard female classmates yelling at male classmates in the corridor.
"You have blind spots everywhere, your facial features are all scraps, and you stand there like a date kernel that has been chewed!"
Jian Li: ...
Xia Liu was particularly relieved beside her: "Those boys with bad mouths really deserve to be scolded!"
Her name was Xia Liu. Her father had looked up this name in a dictionary for good intentions, but he overlooked the homonym of the name.
Xia Liu has been called "obscene" by boys since she was a child.
I just want to rip these people's mouths off!
As the instigator, Jian Li's name was not recorded in the widespread spread. She calmly comforted Xia Liu: "Next time this happens, come to me and I will help you scold."
She didn't even have enough time to scold last time. The big and small soldiers were already broken.
Recently, they have been called "Chopstick Brothers" wherever they go. They no longer say that to each other and run away when they see Jian Li at school.
Jane Litton felt that he had let out a breath of anger.
happy!
While chatting with Xia Liu, someone in the class called Jian Li at the door.
"Teacher Fang is looking for you!"
When Jian Li arrived at the office, Teacher Fang was surrounded by a group of teachers. When they saw her come in, they all had smiles on their faces.
“The young writer is here!”
Jian Li was at a loss: "Teacher Fang, you're looking for me?"
Teacher Fang smiled on her usually serious face: "I'm looking for you, come here."
Jian Li had never seen her head teacher laugh like that before, and she was a little hesitant to go over to him.
Teacher Fang happily held up a magazine and said, "Your article has been accepted!"
Jian Li widened her eyes.
Since she decided to submit her article, she tried to write two articles and submitted them.
Considering that no information in the family compound could be kept secret, she wrote the address of the school.
Originally, she thought that no one would know about it. The school has a mailroom at the gate, and many letters are sent there. Jian Li also thought that she should check frequently to see if there is any letter for her, so that she can know whether her article has been accepted.
How could she know that the other party would send the sample magazine together!
The man in the mailroom gave the sample magazines and letters directly to the class teacher.
The head teacher took a look and saw that someone in the class had submitted an essay and was selected. He saw the name, Jian Li.
The teachers in the office were also very envious and gathered around to read the article.
Jian Li was called to the teacher's side in a daze, and Teacher Fang handed her the letter. The sample magazine was a separate volume, and he flipped through it and found nothing special, but he did not open the letter, leaving it for Jian Li to open by herself.
"Tell me, how did you come up with the idea of submitting this article?"
Jian Li: "... Just throw it casually."
She doesn't know yet whether she won one or two.
Teacher Fang patted her on the shoulder and said, "Well done."
Jian Li was already numb, which was a good thing, but the teachers around her were all watching her, which completely disrupted her plan of "low-key development".
"Teacher... do you want to read my letter?"
Otherwise, why don't you let her go?
Teacher Fang smiled and said, "I want to ask you which article you are the author of."
He flipped through it, but it was full of pen names and he couldn't recognize any of them.
Jian Li opened the envelope and scanned the pages quickly.
"This one...'Night in the Hometown'."
Teacher Fang read it and was very satisfied: "Okay, I will take this article to the section chief, and you should prepare your speech under the national flag next week."
Jian Li: !!! Caught off guard!
Teacher Fang was still busy discussing with others, and hurried Jian Li back to the classroom: "The next class is about to start, hurry back."
Jian Li walked out of the office dejectedly.
Even the remittance slip of a few hundred dollars in the envelope didn't seem so attractive anymore.
This is the bad thing about being a minor, everything has to be done under the eyes of adults, and they can be caught if they are not careful.
Jian Li was listless for the entire class, but she quickly calmed herself down.
At worst, I can just change my pen name and find a safe place next time instead of sending it to school.
She unfolded the list in the envelope, which said that two of her articles were accepted this time, one was an essay, "Night in Hometown", and the other was "The Second Summer After Divorce" which would be published in next month's magazine.
Jian Li wiped her sweat. Fortunately, the essay was published first this time. If the latter one was published first, how would she explain it to the teacher?
The article "The Second Summer After Divorce" was written by Jian Li after she desperately recalled the toxic chicken soup she had read in her previous life. The content started from a divorced family, and after writing some nonsense, both parties understood each other's choice.
This type of chicken soup has a fixed format.
The first paragraph is a statement [Life is something that no one can explain clearly. If it is not... it is inevitable... Just like XXX said..., it can be seen...]
Then I started to insert a short story [I...]
Finally [Later, when Xiao X sat at XX place and we met again, things were no longer the same as before. I realized then… When we parted, I asked her if she regretted it, and she rolled her eyes at me, saying that she would still regret it if we did it again, but she definitely would not regret it.]
Mention the topic again at the end of the article.
Jian Li pretended to speak in the tone of a middle-aged person and interspersed a few clichés about the siege of marriage that she had heard in her previous life, making the whole article seem less ordinary.
As a result, these two articles were quickly accepted. Not only were they accepted, but the editor of the magazine also took the initiative to contact her privately.
This was a pleasant surprise. Jian Li even understood the editor's intention from the words in which the editor was eager to leave her address and phone number.
For those "soft articles", editors always have to find the right people to write them.
Jian Li put away the five hundred yuan invoice with satisfaction, thinking that it was finally a good start.
While Jian Li was developing her side business in full swing, Ge Ming also started his own vicious plan.
Ge Ming agreed with his brothers to trick Teacher Liu's son out of school, but things went wrong from the beginning.
The lackey said with a bitter face: "Brother, no, I don't know what's wrong with that kid recently. His parents come to pick him up every day."
Teacher Liu called his parents from his hometown. There was nothing to hide from his family, so he told the elderly everything and asked them to look after the child more every day.
When the old man heard this, he was so angry that he immediately announced that he would not go back to his hometown.
"If this kind of conscienceless guy comes, I will beat him to death!"
The old man was already over 70 years old, but there was a cold light in his eyes: "If you dare to touch my grandson, just wait and see!"
The child's grandparents also rushed over after they found out. There were four elderly people in the family, and the child's mother had passed away early. Not only could Teacher Liu not accept that something had happened to the child, but the other elderly people in the family couldn't accept it either.
Grandma and grandma take care of the children's food and drink every day, while grandma and grandpa are responsible for picking them up and dropping them off every day. When picking them up and dropping them off, one is in the light and the other in the dark, concentrating on observing the surroundings.
This observation indeed revealed some differences.
Those young guys were no match for the old men who had been on the battlefield, and they were soon targeted.
Now this lackey is reporting the situation to Ge Ming in the alley outside the school, but he doesn't know that at the corner not far away, Teacher Liu's biological father is eavesdropping.
"Boss, why don't we just forget about it? Beating up that teacher will help us vent our anger."
Ge Ming kicked the person who said this: "On what basis? Do you know what that bastard did? He called my dad and told him not to let me go. My dad just beat me up the day before yesterday."
Ge Ming was extremely angry. There were not many people he was afraid of in this world, and his father was one of them.
Because of a bad Olympiad class, he was beaten three times.
Although his father didn't allow him to go now, the beating he received was not in vain. Ge Ming wanted to vent his anger.
"Can't cheat? Don't worry about it, I'll cheat."
Ge Ming smiled sinisterly: "Find someone on the street and ask him to go to the school to find the teacher and tell him that his father was in a car accident. Wait until he leaves the school and take him away!"
Ge Ming is rich, and his money is indispensable in the family on a daily basis, so he always has a few hundred yuan in pocket money all year round.
After he said he wanted to seek revenge, he gave each of his younger brothers twenty yuan.
After getting the twenty yuan, the lackey, who was originally worried, became teary-eyed.
Ge Ming patted his chest and promised: "Don't be afraid if something happens, my father has money."
With just one sentence, “My dad has money,” all the last bit of fear among these half-grown kids disappeared.
"Don't worry, brother."
It's just throwing someone into a well, just like they used to scare people, it's no big deal.
Ge Ming left with satisfaction.
Leaving behind the corner an old man with a gloomy face.
The old man took a few deep breaths, and when he got home he started thinking about how to deal with them.
They are all minors. Even if they are arrested, they will just be criticized and educated and then released.
Thousands of thoughts went through the old man's mind, and finally he made a decision.
Ge Ming didn't know that he was in big trouble. He actually found someone to go to the school and call the other party out.
When Teacher Liu's son heard that his father was in trouble, he immediately asked for leave from his teacher and hurried out of the school.
It was mid-afternoon. Ge Ming skipped classes and hid in an alley outside the school with a few other students who also skipped classes.
The heat of autumn has not yet dissipated, and there are few people on the streets at noon.
Ge Ming and the others even covered their faces to avoid being noticed.
"superior!"
At the command, several boys went up and lifted up Teacher Liu's son.
Ge Ming's eyes were gleaming with pride. He went up to hit the boy who didn't know what was going on: "Tell your dad to hurt me!"
He spat on the ground and said, "Come on, I'm going to have some fun with you."
Following the path, several people came to the open space at the back door of the school.
This area was originally a factory. Later, the factory moved and only a few wells were left here.
When Teacher Liu's son saw that they were not here with good intentions, he did not shout or yell, but just calmly negotiated the terms.
"What do you want? Money or things? Just let me go and everything will be fine."
Ge Ming: "Who cares about your money? You think I don't have it, right? Remember this, it's all your father's fault that you are suffering today. Remember to warn your father when you get home, stop complaining and shut down his crappy training class immediately."
The lackey went to check the well first, and came back worriedly: "Brother, this well mouth is a bit small. It will be difficult for people to climb out if they go in."
The well has been abandoned for a long time, and the well mouth has become extremely narrow. If a person is squeezed in, how can he climb out?
Ge Ming slapped Teacher Liu's son on the face, turned his head and said impatiently: "It's fine as long as it can be stuffed in!"
Climb out or something, he is not a fool, he won’t shout!
The lackey shivered a little: "Brother, come over and take a look first, this well mouth is really small, I'm afraid..."
"Be afraid, be afraid, be afraid!"
Ge Ming walked over to take a look, cursing. Not only was the well mouth narrow, but it was also pitch black inside.
"Brother, forget it."
Ge Ming licked his lips and said, "What the hell! Throw it in there!"
