“It’s strange, wasn’t she closest to Director Li? How did she end up kidnapping even Director Li’s grandson?”

“You all don’t know, do you? I heard the people she referred to the tutoring class all demanded refunds from her. To repay the money, Teacher Xu borrowed from loan sharks. That’s why her son was taken and sold off. She probably blames Director Li for pushing her into a corner, which is why she sought revenge.”

“Apparently, the school was about to fire her, but it was the parents of Class Four who insisted Teacher Xu be reinstated, leading to the kidnapping case. I think those parents are accomplices and should be arrested too.”

“Exactly, serves them right. They only cared about their own children’s grades, disregarded others’ lives, and almost harmed their own kids in the end. What goes around comes around, karma spares no one.”

While everyone enjoyed the gossip, this time no one stepped forward to speak up for her.

After Teacher Xu was arrested, the school immediately stepped forward and revoked her teaching qualification.

They also stated that if any parents were dissatisfied, the school would cooperate with withdrawal procedures.

That shut everyone up for good.

Teacher Xu was finally out of the picture.

The Zhou Zhedong and Zhou Zehan brothers became famous throughout the school.

As soon as Si Nian arrived at school, she saw many gifts piled on her desk.

There were fruits, eggs, and all sorts of children’s clothes and toys.

They covered the entire desk.

She was utterly bewildered.

Wang Xiaoli beside her covered her mouth, laughing enviously. “Hahaha, Teacher Si, surprised? Or shocked?”

Si Nian: “More like shocked. Where did all this come from?”

“These are gifts from the parents, led by Director Li and the principal, to thank your Xiao Han for saving their children.”

“After this incident, Director Li seems like a changed person. She just came by to say she was too ashamed to face you after all the trouble she caused before, so she just left the gifts and went away.”

Si Nian: “……” Reformed?

Although it was somewhat unexpected, if Director Li stopped causing trouble for her from now on, then she would have no more enemies at the school.

Most people at the school were actually quite nice. It was just that oddball Teacher Xu and that inexplicable Director Li.

Although inexplicable, she truly doted on her grandson.

Now that Li Youcai had been saved by her own son, it would be really unreasonable if Director Li still targeted her.

Si Nian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of pride akin to “my children have finally grown up.”

The kids have grown up and already know how to solve their mother’s problems.

Seeing everyone gathered around Si Nian chatting and laughing, Li Fengxian walked into the office, her face immediately darkening.

Everyone fell silent upon seeing her.

How could they forget? There was still Li Fengxian, the young lady who harbored such intense jealousy and hatred towards Si Nian.

With a dark expression, Li Fengxian walked towards Si Nian, striking a pose as if declaring war.

Everyone unconsciously gulped.

Truly, one trouble barely ends before another begins.

With a thud.

Li Fengxian’s hand slammed onto Si Nian’s desk. “Si Nian! Don’t get too cocky.”

Everyone: ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‍Here it comes, the declaration of war?

Although I admit your child did my nephew a huge favor, I haven’t acknowledged you yet. In the next midterm exams, I will definitely have my class surpass yours. Then I can move up to the elite class and be with Teacher Wu, teaching side by side… Pah! I mean, teach together!

The corner of Si Nian’s mouth twitched. “No need to wait until then.”

Li Fengxian glared at her. “What do you mean? Are you conceding defeat without a fight?”

Si Nian said helplessly, “I’m only teaching for half a year before I leave. Whoever takes over for me then is irrelevant. If you’re really that capable, I can recommend you for the position.”

Li Fengxian let out an “Ah?” “Really?”

Si Nian nodded. “Really.”

…

Meanwhile, the children from Class Four, holding flowers and candy, arrived at the door of Class One.

They were blocked at the entrance by Class One students, who looked at them warily. “What do you want?”

After this incident, students from other classes unanimously believed the Class Four students were too bad, corrupted by Teacher Xu.

Their families had told them not to play with anyone from Class Four.

Class Four had finally managed to isolate itself from the entire school through its own actions.

They used to be proud top students, academic elites who naturally looked down on students from other classes, often looking at them with disdain.

Yet at this moment, these children blushed, stammering, “W-we’re sorry. We know we were wrong. We won’t bother Zhou Zhedong anymore. This is candy and flowers we bought with our pocket money to thank him and his brother.”

“Please, let us see him.”

“If possible, we’d like to ask him to come back to our class.”

“Zhou Zhedong, we’re sorry.”

Inside the classroom, a vein throbbed on Zhou Zhedong’s temple.

He was more accustomed to a cold, studious environment.

This kind of enthusiasm was really hard to take.

…

Class One.

Jiang Jiu and Zhou Zehan stood on the podium, talking animatedly.

Zhou Zehan, “You have no idea how thrilling it was when we were in the kidnappers’ car. That car was driving as fast as an airplane. Everyone passed out, only I stayed awake. Right then I thought, this world would fall apart without me…”

Zhou Zehan clutched his chest, wearing a look of great ambition. “With a left hook and a right kick, I sent those two kidnappers flying out of the car. Then I got into the driver’s seat, gulped down a bottle of soda, stepped on the gas, and raced back to my hometown (had to make a pit stop for stomach issues, but that’s not the point).”

“I rallied all the folks from Happiness Village. Everyone held machetes, and we chopped the pursuing kidnappers into pieces.”

“We finally achieved victory and liberated all the victims.”

“The villagers saw me as the Monkey King, gave me a golden staff, cheered for me, gave me little red flowers…”

Classmates: “Wow—”

“So amazing!”

“Heavens, Second Brother is awesome!”

“Does Second Brother’s family really have a pig farm?”

Jiang Jiu immediately stepped forward, gesturing exaggeratedly. “Of course! I saw it with my own eyes. Second Brother’s family has a pig farm this big, with a hundred thousand piglets. I even helped Second Brother feed the pigs. Second Brother’s house is a castle, with a rockery in front (the back hill) and a garden in the back (the vegetable plot)… Yes! Second Brother is a prince!”

Jiang Jiu: “Second Brother kissed me on the cheek, and I woke up. Second Brother is the prince from Snow White!”

Classmates: “Wow—”

Second Child stood with hands on hips, nose in the air.

“Second Brother, I want you to kiss me too.”

“Second Brother, me too, me too!”

…

Si Nian struggled to carry the gifts home, and soon the two children returned.

Seeing the room piled high with so many presents, and their little sister lying amidst a heap of candy, occasionally picking one to pop in her mouth, then squinting her eyes in blissful enjoyment.

Second Child threw his backpack aside, let out a cheer, and dove right in.
