Soon, Bing Tianyi arrived at his parents' stall and handed them five hundred yuan. After that, he saved the remaining two hundred as his personal allowance.
Although he was a student with little daily expenses, having never possessed such wealth before, he felt it was time to be self-sufficient and set aside some money for himself.
Father Bing and Mother Bing noticed the five finger marks on their son's cheek and approached him with concern, asking, "What happened? Did someone hit you in the street?"
Bing Tianyi smiled wryly and replied, "I was giving fortune-telling, and I was a bit too direct with my words, so someone slapped me. But it's fine; this is quite normal."
Father Bing and Mother Bing exchanged a bitter smile. To be honest, they had not expected such an outcome when they heard that Bing Tianyi was going out to tell fortunes. They thought he would just be playing around and wouldn’t bring back any money.
However, in just half a day, this silly boy had brought back five hundred yuan. Compared to their daily income of less than a hundred yuan, such earnings were unimaginable.
Seeing her son busy cleaning up as soon as he arrived, Mother Bing quickly said, "Alright, you don’t need to worry about that; your father and I can handle it."
"It's nothing," Bing Tianyi said with a sincere smile as he continued to help his parents.
The next day, Bing Tianyi went to school as usual. Before entering the school gate, he prepared himself to compete with his math teacher, Gao Pengjun.
After all, being a flesh-and-blood person, he endured daily insults and physical beatings from this guy. If he remained silent again, he would truly become a laughingstock in the eyes of his classmates.
Soon, it was time for the third class of the morning. As the class bell rang, Gao Pengjun walked into the classroom confidently with a book in hand.
At the same time, the students sitting at the back of the classroom were sweating in their palms because none of them knew if they would be called up to solve problems today.
After entering, Gao Pengjun did as usual: he tossed the book onto the podium and then picked up chalk to write five math problems directly on the blackboard.
Turning around, he bluntly called out, "Mei Fenfeng, Maping, Zhao Qiang, Pang Yu, Bing Tianyi—come up."
Although Bing Tianyi appeared to be sleeping at his desk every day, during high school he had copied each wrong problem thirty to fifty times. His math foundation was naturally not lacking now. After Gao Pengjun's class each day, he only needed to glance at the textbook content to understand it.
He stepped onto the podium and finished solving the problem in less than two minutes before returning directly to his seat.
Gao Pengjun furrowed his brows, seriously examining the answer to the problem. Although he felt somewhat frustrated, there was little he could do about it.
Looking at Pang Yu and the others on the podium, it was clear that this problem had only been explained during today's class. How could these four who had never learned it manage to solve it?
After about three minutes, Gao Pengjun turned around, first sneering, then asking the four in front of him, "What's wrong? Why aren't you writing? Did your parents not check the date when they had you? Or did a donkey kick you in the head?"
Pang Yu was timid; while Gao Pengjun spoke, Bing Tianyi, sitting on the floor, could clearly see that this kid's legs were trembling continuously.
"Teacher, this is content that was just covered today, right?" Maping asked boldly, turning around to tentatively question Gao Pengjun.
"Stop making excuses if you can't solve the problems. I really don't know how your parents ended up with such brainless sons like you. You're all useless." Gao Pengjun said as he began to kick at these kids.
Aside from the sound of thuds from the kicks, the rest of the students in the classroom fell silent.
Seeing this scene, Bing Tianyi couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to shout, "Teacher Gao, I have a question I want to ask you."
Gao Pengjun never expected that Bing Tianyi would dare to ask a question now. However, he wasn't too angry; instead, he felt a bit pleased. After all, Bing Tianyi's recent performance was more important.
"Sure, go ahead," Gao Pengjun said with a cold smile directed at Bing Tianyi.
"Teacher Gao, since they can't solve it, why don't you let a few other people come up and give it a try?" Bing Tianyi suggested.
Gao Pengjun frowned deeply as the short figure of one meter sixty stepped down from the podium.
Just as Gao Pengjun was about to walk up to Bing Tianyi for a fierce reprimand, Wang Ziyan from the third row unexpectedly stood up and said directly to Gao Pengjun, "Teacher Gao, I think Bing Tianyi's suggestion is good. It's always these few people going up to solve problems; it's not fair. We also want a chance to come up and solve problems."
As she spoke, Wang Ziyan pushed her chair back and walked directly toward the podium.
At this moment, Gao Pengjun was completely stunned. While he was at a loss for what to do, Bing Tianyi looked at Huang Ke, who was silent with his head down, and said with a smile, "Class Monitor Huang, as far as I know, you haven't solved a problem on the board since school started. Why don't you set an example today and go up to solve a problem?"
Huang Ke stood up and glared at Bing Tianyi, ready to refuse, but unexpectedly, Wang Ziyan, who had already taken the stage, said, "Huang Ke, I'm already up here, you should come up too."
Huang Ke had some feelings for Wang Ziyan, and upon hearing her words, he could only get up and walk to the stage.
Immediately after, Wang Ziyan smiled and invited Li Yuxin and Ouyang Xue from the class. Seeing Wang Ziyan's invitation, the two happily went up on stage.
Mei Fenfeng, Maping, Zhao Qiang, and others stood at the door in a line, staring intently at the few classmates on stage.
Gao Pengjun was completely speechless. Since things had developed to this point, he could only turn around and say, "Alright, since you all want to do it, go ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ziyan turned to Gao Pengjun with a smile and said, "Teacher Gao, you haven't even explained this question yet. How can we do it?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Pengjun was utterly dumbfounded. He wanted to scold her, but Wang Ziyan was not someone who could be easily reprimanded.
"It's fine if you can't do it. You can all go down now; we're starting class," Gao Pengjun forced a smile as he looked at the four people on stage.
Of course, as the substitute teacher for this class, Gao Pengjun had read through all the students' profiles in detail. Among the four on stage, aside from Ouyang Xue's situation being unknown, the other three included a billionaire from their provincial capital and Huang Ke's father, who was the head of the Education Bureau. The other one, Li Yuxin, also had a father who was a leader in the city.
Gao Pengjun knew that offending these individuals would not end well for him.
"Teacher, don't you think you should educate us just like you do with them? Do we not count as your students in your eyes?" Wang Ziyan continued to ask Gao Pengjun with a smile.
Gao Pengjun really felt an impulse to slap Wang Ziyan twice right then and there. However, he was still apprehensive; after stammering for a moment, he finally smiled at Wang Ziyan and said, "It's normal not to be able to solve problems. Besides, I really haven't explained these questions on the board yet. Alright, go down now; I'm going to teach class."
Bing Tianyi stood at the back and directly asked after Gao Pengjun finished speaking: "Teacher Gao, what did you say when they couldn't solve it? How did they manage?"
"Bing Tianyi, shut up! Did I ask you to speak?" Gao Pengjun said as he stepped toward Bing Tianyi. At that moment, he looked like a dog driven mad by anger finally catching hold of a frail old man to tear into.
If it weren't for Wang Ziyan and others supporting him on stage, Bing Tianyi wouldn't dare act too excessively today; after all, he understood that he was still a student.
Gao Pengjun thought he could act as he usually did—charging in with punches and kicks. But unexpectedly, just as he rushed next to Bing Tianyi and was about to raise his hand to strike him in the face, Bing Tianyi directly reached out his hand and placed his palm against Gao Pengjun's forehead.
Although Bing Tianyi appeared younger, he was still 1.75 meters tall, which allowed him to easily keep Gao Pengjun, who was only 1.60 meters, out of reach with a simple extension of his arm.
Gao Pengjun, frustrated by Bing Tianyi's stance, kicked out without thinking. In response, Bing Tianyi merely pushed him lightly, causing Gao Pengjun to stumble back several steps.
Once he regained his footing, Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "Teacher Gao, don't you think you're being a bit too obvious? You won't dare to act against someone with connections, but you take it out on us who have no one backing us. Is it just to boost your so-called teaching performance by trying to drive us out of this school?"
Upon hearing this, an enraged Gao Pengjun shouted, "You little bastards! I can't believe what kind of wild and mixed-breed scum produced such a dog like you. Let's see how I educate you today."
With that, Gao Pengjun kicked over a nearby chair and grabbed a stainless steel pipe before storming toward Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi stepped back two paces and urgently said, "Teacher Gao, if you lay a hand on me today, I won't hold back."
Gao Pengjun laughed derisively and replied, "Sure! Let's see how this poor student dares to be rude to me."
As he spoke, Gao Pengjun swung the stainless steel pipe toward Bing Tianyi's head.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi quickly retreated until he reached the back of the classroom. He grabbed a mop handle and steadied himself. Just as Gao Pengjun approached him and swung the pipe down, Bing Tianyi shouted and struck the inside of Gao Pengjun's knee with the mop handle.
The impact caused Gao Pengjun to feel pain.
However, what he didn't realize was that this was just the beginning. Before Gao Pengjun could react further, Wang Ziyan threw an eraser from the podium at his head. Meanwhile, the students who had been previously attacked by Gao Pengjun suddenly stood up and surged toward the back of the classroom.
