The Lucky Star Blessing the Whole Village
Translator: 549690339
In Teacher Xiaoâs eyes, Xiao Jinli was just a bad student who slept during class, had poor grades, liked to meddle in other peopleâs business, and loved to talk back to teachers.
She had also proposed to the school several times to transfer this student to another class or expel her, but somehow the school did not agree.
At first, she thought Xiao Jinli had connections in the school, but upon inquiring, she found out she was from an ordinary family.
Later, the School Guidance Director, who happened to be her uncle, reminded her that Xiao Jinli was a genius, so the school turned a blind eye to her sleeping during class.
Hearing her uncleâs words, she disdained in her heart.
She simply didnât believe that a student who loved to sleep in class could be a genius.
Frankly, she had long wanted to teach this student a tough lesson.
Now, she finally had an excuse.
The anger emitted by Teacher Xiao could be seen as a threat to Xiao Jinli.
Teacher Yang, who was beside her, thought for a moment and couldnât bother about possibly offending Teacher Xiao.
He interrupted, âTeacher Xiao, youâre going too far with your words. I donât think Xiao Jinli was wrong in the first place. Sheâs just enthusiastic and stands up for her classmates. That student Xiao Jianming in your class is always bullying others. Besides apologizing to the students he bullied, he really needs to be punished severely to learn his lesson!â
After hearing Teacher Yangâs words, Teacher Xiaoâs face turned green.
She gritted her teeth and said, âTeacher Yang, this is my class, and I can handle it. â
Meaning: Mind your own business!
However, Teacher Yang solemnly said, âTeacher Xiao, as a teacher, we should first of all strive to be fair and impartial to every student and not show favoritism to anyone.
Iâve heard of that Xiao Jianming, who bullies classmates every day, especially girls. He either puts snakes or insects in girlsâ drawers, or tears their books apart. He doesnât listen carefully during class and disturbs the surrounding students. He cheats on exams and doesnât do work when itâs his turn to be on duty. Is it enough to just mildly criticize such a bad student? Isnât this favoritism too excessive?â
Itâs no secret that Xiao Jianming is Xiao Hongmeiâs nephew.
Xiao Jianming had openly boasted about it in class. Normally, Xiao Hongmei would take care of him, sending him delicious food after class.
As Teacher Yang spoke, Xiao Hongmeiâs face turned red and blue with anger, humiliation, and rage.
She unconsciously snapped, âTeacher Yang, how I treat my students is none of your business! Do I need you to be nosy and point fingers at me? My nephew is just a bit mischievous in class and nowhere near as bad as you claim. Heâs an obedient and sensible child at home, but now youâre painting him as so unbearable. Teacher Yang, do you think itâs too much to harp on a little mistake made by an elementary student?â
Teacher Yang and others,
Xiao Jinli, â
This⦠was truly self-deceiving.
Xiao Hongmei was obviously dissatisfied with Teacher Yang.
She continued, âIn that case, I must have a good talk with Director Guo about whether you, as a role model, are doing the right thing.â
Director Guo was the Teaching Director, her uncle.
With Xiao Hongmei saying this, it was like the offender accusing the victim first.
As Teacher Yang was about to speak, Xiao Jinliâs little face turned cold. She said coldly, âSo, if Teacher Xiao clearly favors her nephew, is that being a good role model? If such an elementary school student commits such a serious offense like not participating in labor, playing pranks on classmates, and bullying classmates, are those all minor errors? So, may I ask Teacher Xiao, what counts as a major mistake made by an elementary school student? Is it robbery or arson?â
Pausing for a moment, she continued, âOr is it that this school, or you, Teacher Xiao, own this place, and you do whatever you want?â
Teacher Xiao was instantly rendered speechless with anger.
She angrily pointed at Xiao Jinli and shouted, âYouâve gone too far! This is a total disregard for me as your teacher. Fine, I donât want you as my student anymore. Oh, no, Iâm expelling you. You donât have to study here anymore.
Hurry up and get your parents over here and have them withdraw you from school!â
Xiao Jinli stared very seriously at Xiao Hongmei, saying, âAbout transferring to another class, I will consider it. But transferring schools, thatâs impossible!â Hu Hongmei and Dong Qiufang, the two little classmates, were completely stunned.
They had clearly come to resolve the issue of Xiao Jianming bullying people, but how did it escalate to expelling Xiao Jinli?
The two little classmates were a little frightened and felt that Teacher Xiao was so unreasonable and terrifying.
After a while, Hu Hongmeiâs face turned a little pale, and she timidly said to Teacher Xiao, âTeacher Xiao, I⦠I donât want Xiao Jianming to apologize to me anymore. Itâs⦠itâs my fault. You⦠can you please not expel Xiao Jinli, okay?â
Hu Hongmei felt it was all her fault. If she hadnât been bullied by Xiao Jianming and sought help from Xiao Jinli, Xiao Jinli wouldnât have confronted Teacher Xiao, talked back to her, made her angry, and wanted to expel Xiao Jinli.
Itâs just that she doesnât know, at this point, itâs not something that can be solved by not asking Xiao Jianming to apologize.
Xiao Jinli patted her shoulder to comfort her, âDonât worry, I will be fine.â
With this, she said firmly, âI just canât believe there isnât a single place in this whole school thatâs reasonable.â
Teacher Yang and others, â This child, saying this, wasnât it just adding fuel to the fire? She truly has no fear of heaven or earth in her character.
Teacher Xiao, â . This little bastard, she really doesnât take her seriously at all.
Teacher Xiao looked at the eloquent Xiao Jinli, not angry but laughing coldly, âHehe, do you think this school is owned by your family? Let me tell you, just the matter of you sleeping in class will be enough reason for the school to expel you.â
However, Xiao Jinli simply shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, âI donât care.â
She really didnât care.
Even if she was expelled, she would just be sleeping somewhere else.
Naturally, if possible, she didnât really want to go to school either.
Itâs too childish.
However, if she didnât go to school, her family would definitely make her come.
After all, no matter how intelligent or gifted she was, her age required her to complete her nine-year compulsory education.
Teacher Yang and others,? ?This child has such a strong control over her SAT score, that she might really not care about going to school.
After Xiao Jinli finished her words, the atmosphere became deadlocked against Teacher Xiao.
Teacher Xiao felt that Xiao Jinli, this bad student, was simply here to oppose her.
âAlright, you donât care, huh? Fine, call your parents over right now. I want to hear how they educate their child, who is so rude, disrespectful, and talks back to the teacher!â Teacher Xiao looked at Xiao Jinli with contempt and said coldly..
