In the face of overwhelming evidence, the horoom teacher was left with no argunt.
Qian drove her back to the corner, the horoom teacher leaned against the wall, and behind her hung a frad piece of calligraphy.
"Virtue nourishes all?" Qian read the words on the wall, and the horoom teacher’s face turned pale.
"Heavenly conduct is persistent, and gentlen relentlessly strive. Earthly forces are nurturing, and gentlen use virtue to support everything, the highest praise for those who educate, describing soone’s noble character. Teacher, tell , every day in front of these words praising virtue, you do those conscience-missing things, are you worthy of the title ’teacher’?"
Qian’s voice wasn’t loud, one could even say it was gentle.
It was this gentle voice, paired with sharp soul-searching words, that effortlessly broke the horoom teacher’s psychological defense.
The horoom teacher covered her face, almost sobbing uncontrollably.
"Don’t tell the school or the education bureau about this; I still have children to raise."
When Chen Lin approached the horoom teacher, she was also hesitant.
Qian’s college entrance examination scores were high, and having taught such a student ant bonuses.
But Chen Lin told the teacher the family conditions were too difficult, even ntioned his wife was terminally ill and had no money for treatnt, and then slipped money to the teacher, just a bit more than the bonus, exactly 50 extra.
Pushed to a breakdown by Qian, when the teacher ntioned the 50 yuan, Qian laughed.
"Did you ruin my life just for those 50 yuan?"
Ha, the source of all her past life pain was only worth 50 yuan?
And that father, no, don’t call him father anymore, he’s unworthy!
Just to save money for his son’s college at the expense of his daughter, even saying shaless things like his wife having a terminal illness, Qian had completely rembered him and decided to intensify her revenge against Chen Lin.
"Chen Xiaoqian, forgive the teacher this once; next ti I won’t, definitely won’t..." If this got reported to the education bureau, she would be completely finished.
"This kind of thing, you may have done for the first ti, but swapping the seats of the bribing students to the front row, you haven’t done it less, have you? I never forgive those who bully , because forgiving once brings more harm later."
School, the purest place originally, yet so unfairness already begins there.
"Get out of my way."
After Qian finished speaking, she dragged the horoom teacher back a few steps, picked up the water cup on the table, and threw it forcefully at the calligraphy on the wall. The frad glass shattered on impact, fragnts scattered everywhere, causing the teacher to scream.
The part Qian targeted was precisely the ’Virtue’ in ’Virtue nourishes all,’ shattering the character for virtue.
"You must return the money my dad gave you."
Scared stiff by Qian, the teacher dared not say a word and hurriedly took out 550 yuan.
"Chen Xiaoqian, about the recording..."
"I initially wanted to report it, but your daughter saved you, ha ha."
Qian took the money and pointed at the shattered calligraphy fra.
"Do not fix this, do not replace it, clean up the glass to avoid injuring your child, and keep this stained virtue in your sight. When you assu a human position but fail to act humanely, just look up at this. If I find out you dare to ruin other children’s futures for money again, the education bureau will definitely receive the recording."
The horoom teacher nodded continuously.
At this mont, in her eyes, Chen Xiaoqian was nothing but a devil.
Qian looked at the damaged character for virtue, expressionless.
"You will handwrite ’Yan Family’s Family Rules,’ ’Zhu Family’s Family Rules,’ and ’Zeng Guofan’s Ten thods of Teaching Children,’ at least ten pages daily without limit, and mail it to once a month. Calculated by current scrap recycling prices, 0.3 yuan per pound, when you’ve written 166.6 pounds and repaid the 50 yuan, I’ll return the tape to you!"
The horoom teacher was dumbfounded.
For the first ti hearing...such a novel and unique thod of revenge!
"When students’ performance doesn’t et your standards, don’t you punish them by making them copy? Now I’m just using your thod to handle you; I’ve endured over 10 years of schooling this way, teacher, do you think my 13 years are worth only 50 yuan? Fine, I’ll let you know, 50 yuan can be very light, but it can also be very heavy!"
sheets of A4 paper approximate 4.3 pounds, 160 pounds requires 18,000 sheets, taking at least 5 years to finish. Qian’s scholarly brain easily calculated the numbers.
"Using your 5 years to exchange for my 13 years, can’t I say I’m too rciful?"
When you casually step on soone’s wound, don’t bla others for doing the sa to you, because you have it coming.
"Chen Xiaoqian, for this thod, I don’t have ti!"
"When you punish students by making them write, did you consider that they don’t have ti? Students need to sleep, you know? Can’t morize—punish to write, write wrongly—punish to write, unable to finish—multiply the punishnt, still can’t finish—cube it! Teacher, it’s all you taught ! You said it was for students’ good when punishing, now the student is also doing it for your own good."
The horoom teacher remained silent, the thods she often employed on students now applied to herself were unbearably painful.
"Why...are all the books about teaching children?"
"While you write, keep your daughter beside you, don’t send her to others, keep her with you, family companionship reduces the impulse to steal. If she continues stealing, you mustn’t hit her, just recite these with her, let her write once, you write twice, let her watch you write! This diagnosis fee, I won’t charge you; consider it for the sake of our teacher-student relationship. I’m always clear about gratitude and grudges."
She finally understood why that child with kleptomania suffered the way she did.
"Chen Xiaoqian, I’m sorry for covering up your admission score. Whatever you do to , I can accept, but please don’t involve my child!"
"Who are you pretending to be a loving mother for? Your daughter suffers from pathological kleptomania, she steals things she doesn’t even want, hides them away, though internally struggling, she can’t overco the impulse to steal, it’s all because of you!"
"You’re talking nonsense, I’ve always taught her to be a good child..." The horoom teacher’s child was her unspeakable wound.
She and her husband both had respectable jobs, and this habit in the child had persisted for over two years, even with scoldings and beatings, but it worsened. Afraid of the child’s presence affecting their work, they sent her to grandma, bringing her back during sumr, only to find she continued stealing.
"Pathological kleptomania has a reason for forming; although she is sick, it’s the absence of family warmth and parental inconsistencies that caused it."
Qian’s sharp eyes stared at the horoom teacher, "Have you ever thought that a thousand pale verbal educations can’t compare to one true action? When you say stealing is wrong but engage in shady dealings yourself, how does it impact a child whose values haven’t ford?"
Parents are the best teachers for their children.
