Wen Qian felt that if she didn't explain herself soon, it would be a hassle to coexist harmoniously in the future. It was true that I had conflicts with Chi Xuecha, but I never attacked anyone in the family compound, nor did I lay a hand on Lu Zheng.
Simply put, if Chi Xuecha didn't come looking for trouble and harm my family, I wouldn't resort to violence against her.
"Go ahead! You should really teach her a lesson!"
The woman who had just spoken stood up excitedly, and seeing her gritting her teeth at the mention of Chi Xuecha, Wen Qian curiously asked, "What does Chi Xuecha have to do with you?"
The woman jumped up and ran to Wen Qian's side, pulling a chair to sit down. She looked at Wen Qian with indignation and spoke through gritted teeth about her past with Chi Xuecha.
This woman was named Xu Huimei, the daughter of the village chief from the neighboring village. When Chi Xuecha first arrived, the school was short on teachers. The principal heard that she had graduated from high school and approached her to come teach at the school.
Chi Xuecha wanted a higher status in the family compound and to make a good impression on Lu Zheng. When she arrived at the school, she acted superior to everyone else and didn't take her teaching seriously. She often ordered other teachers around to do various tasks, and they gritted their teeth and complied under the principle of avoiding trouble.
As time passed, resentment grew deeper among the staff. Xu Huimei had a fiery temper; she couldn't stand Chi Xuecha's spoiled attitude, and they had argued several times. Once, it even escalated into a physical confrontation.
Xu Huimei pointed at Chi Xuecha's nose and yelled, "Who do you think you are? You come here to teach and make the kids cry? You even hit students! Are you really here to be a teacher? Do you think you can boss us around like we're your servants? Is this how people treat you in the army?"
"I don't care anymore! I need to go find the principal and Captain Chi to ask what we're here for—teaching or being your maids!"
Though the other teachers remained silent, their eyes conveyed the same sentiment.
Chi Xuecha trembled with rage, pointing at Xu Huimei. "Who do you think you are? Just a country girl daring to cause me trouble! Do you believe I can get you fired as a teacher?"
Xu Huimei felt a moment of panic inside but couldn't lose face in front of her peers; if she lost her job as a teacher, she could only kneel at home and take whatever punishment came her way.
"Go ahead! Go ahead! If you don't go, you're my grandson! Kneel down and call me 'Grandma'!"
"I can't take it anymore! Do whatever you want; I refuse to believe that no one dares to speak the truth!"
Chancellor, can you really not tell right from wrong?
Chi Xuecha looked at Ke Huimei, who was confidently and aggressively confronting her, and for a moment, she felt deflated and guilty. Every time she was at home, Team Leader Chi would remind her to get along well with her colleagues and to teach her students properly. Otherwise, she would have to stay home obediently, and if she couldn't even handle such a small matter, what was the point of going out?
What she did was unknown to both the Chancellor and Team Leader Chi.
Seeing Chi Xuecha's guilty expression, Ke Huimei's confidence grew even stronger. She directly grabbed Chi Xuecha's arm. "Come on, let's go find the Chancellor. If that doesn't work, we'll go find Team Leader Chi. I refuse to believe that he can't tell right from wrong."
Just as Ke Huimei was about to drag Chi Xuecha to the Chancellor's office, Chi Xuecha suddenly pulled away with all her might. "Let go of me! I'm not going! Why should I go just because you say so?" With that, she pushed through the crowd and ran away.
Ke Huimei was so furious that she stamped her foot in frustration. It was infuriating that she hadn't revealed Chi Xuecha's true nature.
The next day when classes resumed, Chi Xuecha announced her resignation. The reason? She claimed she couldn't get along with the teachers and that they bullied her.
At that moment, Ke Huimei didn't know this was the reason; it was only later that she found out when it was too late.
"You have no idea how angry I am! I almost wanted to kill Chi Xuecha! How dare she tarnish my reputation outside? It's been years since I've found a partner; everyone calls me a shrew!"
Ke Huimei stood up and turned around in confusion. "Do I look like a shrew? I'm still young and beautiful!"
Ke Huimei had a rather impulsive personality; she was a fiery girl, but she was genuinely straightforward and seemed like someone from a happy family.
Everyone in the office watched her with smiles as she sat down dejectedly. "This is affecting my chances of finding a partner! I'm already ten years old and still single; my dad is almost going bald from worrying!"
Wen Qian laughed happily at her and asked curiously, "How did you find out about my situation with Chi Xuecha?"
Ke Huimei looked at her incredulously. "You don't know? This matter has spread everywhere! Everyone knows there's such an impressive person like you around."
"You have no idea how detestable Chi Xuecha is—she offends everyone! Everyone wants to deal with her, but they can't because her dad is the team leader."
"We heard someone finally dealt with Chi Xuecha; you have no idea how happy we were! I was so excited that I couldn't sleep well that night."
Everyone wants to meet you and see who you really are.
Kang Huimei couldn't stop talking as she excitedly pulled Wen Qian to share stories about Chixue Tea's actions and some instances of bullying.
Suddenly, Lu Wenwen quietly reminded her, "Huimei, you should go to class."
As soon as Lu Wenwen finished speaking, the bell rang outside.
Kang Huimei exclaimed loudly, "Oh no!" She hurried to grab her books from her desk and dashed out. "Why didn't anyone remind me earlier? The principal is going to scold me again!"
The young girl rushed out in a flurry, and once she left, the office erupted in laughter.
Lu Wenwen gently patted Wen Qian, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "Huimei is the joy of our office; everyone feels happy with her around."
Wen Qian smiled back at her. "You're adorable too."
As Wen Qian looked at Lu Wenwen, her face suddenly flushed bright red. She shyly covered her face, her eyes wide with surprise, and stiffly turned away.
Wen Qian watched them and felt a sense of relief wash over her. She had thought that since it was their first meeting, it would take a long time for everyone to start talking.
But everyone was easy to get along with, especially her colleagues Kang Huimei and Lu Wenwen. She liked them both very much, and it was quite unexpected.
The other teachers also greeted Wen Qian and introduced themselves briefly.
While chatting with Lu Wenwen, Wen Qian learned that she was the daughter of a doctor from the military medical office.
Wen Qian felt a bit nervous about going to teach the fourth-grade class for the first time. She asked Lu Wenwen some questions about teaching, and Lu Wenwen gave her a brief introduction. Wen Qian nodded, indicating that she had learned something useful.
Ding ling ling!
"I'm here! Class is over! Finally!"
Kang Huimei bounced in, but upon seeing Principal Shen in the office, she immediately closed her mouth and walked more gracefully and composedly.
She nervously greeted Principal Shen, "Hello, Principal Shen."
Principal Shen smiled and nodded. Then she turned to Wen Qian and said, "Teacher Wen, could you please come here for a moment? I need to ask you something."
