Chapter 98: After the Rain, the Sky Cleared Up

Chapter 98: After the Rain, the Sky Cleared Up

Huang Lians mood had been absolutely terrible these past few days.

Mischievous students, troublesome parents.

They even threatened me to complain about my behavior to the principal. What a nonsense

What is that elementary school teacher supposed to mean?

Huang Lian was also in a bad mood during morning reading today, and everyone seemed less enthusiastic. She scolded a few students who couldnt answer and made them stand at the back.

At this moment, several unfamiliar students rushed into the classroom, causing Huang Lian to feel displeasure.

You all, which class are you from? Its almost time for class, why are you running into our class?

Liu Shiyang nervously handed a glass cup to Huang Lian.

Um Teacher Huang, Im sorry, its just that, I, um yesterday afternoon during the sanitation inspection, I accidentally bumped the table and then, I, I dropped your cup

The whole class immediately quieted down, silently watching the podium.

This was a huge breaking news.

Everyone was waiting for Huang Lians response.

Did did you do it?

Why didnt you admit your mistake earlier?

I um

The expression on Huang Lians face now was more uncomfortable than if she had eaten a fly, because she had no other words to say except to criticize Liu Shiyang.

This blind fool! If you had something to say, you should have said it in private. Why did you deliberately choose the time when the class was about to start and the students were all in their seats?

Isnt this deliberately humiliating me?

Huang Lian looked at the two people behind Liu Shiyang, she recognized these two, they were the top students in Class 9, the Class Monitor Lin Youxi, the excellent student she had always dreamed of.

As for the boy, she didnt remember his name very well, but they had met yesterday.

These two people have good academic performance, but unfortunately, during class breaks, they always play with Xia Yuan and Peng Xue together, willingly falling into decadence.

Why are you two following him?

Mei Fang explained expressionlessly, We are friends of Xia Yuan and Peng Xue. After hearing about their situation last night, we specifically investigated the situation and found out the truth. I believe that even students could easily uncover the truth. As a teacher, you should not make such a low-level mistake of lashing out at others.

Now that someone has admitted that he broke the cup, shouldnt you feel ashamed of your attitude towards Peng Xue and Xia Yuan last night?

The students below started whispering to each other:

Teacher Huang was so excessive and really went too far that time.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

I knew it wasnt Peng Xue. If it was her, she would have admitted it

Huang Lian quickly understood that these two students had come to stand up for their good friends and cause trouble for her.

Whats so excessive about it? You only know how to listen to their nonsense. Last night, Peng Xue showed no respect, she was disrespectful to me, a teacher, isnt that excessive? As long as Im here, I definitely wont let her come back.

But as far as I know, it was you who hurt Yuan Yuan first, and Peng Xue confronted you to protect Yuan Yuan. While it was wrong for her to do that to a teacher, dont you think you owe her an apology?

Lin Youxis stern and assertive tone, coupled with her dignified and commanding presence, quickly captivated the attention of the entire class. She exuded a natural leadership aura, and appeared formidable in this confrontation, drawing the gaze of all the students.

Is that Lin Youxi, the Class Monitor of Class 9? They say she has never ranked anything other than first in the exams for the entire grade.

How can there be someone so amazing? Shes both assertive and pretty, and her grades are excellent too. Is she a character from a novel?

Compared to those in our class who only excel in doing homework, the difference is like night and day. This is a true academic overachiever, no I should say a genius!

Under Lin Youxis reprimand, Huang Lian was momentarily stunned. It was only when the bell rang that she snapped back to reality.

Quick, lets go back to class. And you three, our class matters will be handled by us.

On the side, Liu Shiyang was already itching to escape.

What scene is this!? Im just a small sanitation officer who accidentally broke a cup and had to pay for a new one. How did I end up in the center of this stage? I wouldnt even come here if I had the choice!

But Lin Youxis powerful presence made him dare not move an inch.

Of course, another reason was that Mei Fang was tightly gripping his wrist.

Clearly, neither Lin Youxi nor Mei Fang had any intention of leaving. Lin Youxi spoke in a low voice, We hope to receive your promise to apologize to Yuan Yuan and Peng Xue before we leave.

What do you mean by that? Are you forcing me to apologize?

Huang Lian was instantly infuriated by Lin Youxis unreasonable behavior. Why should I apologize? Since when does a teacher apologize to a student? Do you still have any respect for teachers and their teachings?

The respect for teachers and their teachings is meant for teachers who are willing to have sincere communication with their students. I dont think you deserve to be associated with those words right now, Lin Youxi retorted.

Mei Fang took over, Those words dont apply to you until you acknowledge your mistake.

You youre really

After this incident, Peng Xue cherished her friendship with Xia Yuan even more, thinking that she would do anything for Xia Yuans happiness.

At the end of the conversation, Xu Mingde called in the former homeroom teacher, Huang Lian.

Initially, Xia Yuan and Peng Xue were furious to see Huang Lian, but to their surprise, she looked completely different from before, appearing exhausted. They didnt know what to say for a while.

Huang Lian came in this time to apologize on behalf of the school and seek forgiveness from Xia Yuan and Peng Xue. She admitted to wrongly accusing them and hitting Xia Yuan for no reason. After speaking, she left on her own, clearly struggling to contain her anger and lacking sincerity in her apology.

Xia Yuan and Peng Xue were worried that accepting the apology would mean continuing to attend Huang Lians class. But they were also concerned that making further demands would be pushing their luck.

So when Xu Mingde asked for their thoughts, they looked at each other, appearing very conflicted.

In the end, Xia Yuan spoke first, Principal, if someone apologizes, do we have to forgive them? My friend told me before that I dont have to forgive those who hurt me, and not to go against my own feelings. So I dont want to forgive Teacher Huang.

Peng Xue nodded beside her, I dont forgive her either.

Xu Mingde laughed heartily upon hearing this. Your friend is quite interesting. I like hearing you students speak honestly. Indeed if apologies could solve all problems, then we wouldnt have to work so hard on our studies, hahaha!

Xu Mingde continued, You dont need to forgive, and as for the punishment for Teacher Huang, we will announce it in due time.

The school ultimately suspended Huang Lian, and she did not continue teaching at the school afterward. No one knew where she went.

As for Class 8s homeroom teacher, the math teacher temporarily took over, while the Chinese class was taught by the teacher from the neighboring Class 7.

After the rain, the sky cleared up.

Whew. I guess that its good that peng xue didnt get thrown out of the school!

I feel I little bit of pity for huang lian as she didnt even apologize, and this situating couldve been resolved much more cleanly, but that is life I guess.

Thanks for the content as always!

To be honest, the forgiveness is necessary, its true that if is a false forgiveness, you can think about it, but, if you dont forgive, you will have resentment in your heart. and the resentment doesnt allow you to live a happy life.

Forgive up to seventy seven times. Jesus Christ.

I think it depends what you mean by forgiveness.

We can only discuss whether it is good, when we know what it is first.

Not everyone can be as forgiving. And forgiving in word only is worse than not forgiving at all. So why pick the worst choice if it would solve nothing?
