Chapter 737: Teacher Zhou Causes Trouble

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing the commotion, the other teachers were taken aback. Was Yang Zhen really berating Teacher Zhou over such a trivial matter? They had never known Yang Zhen to be that kind of person.

They all turned their attention to Yang Zhen, uncertain of how to react. Yang Zhen was at a loss for words, exclaiming, “I didn’t insult you. Stop your act. You’re just pretending to gain sympathy. What’s the point?”

Su Li was dumbfounded by Teacher Zhou’s antics and was too flustered to speak. Fortunately, Su Bing was there. He calmly explained, “Teachers, it’s not as you see. Teacher Zhou was the one who treated my brother, Su Li, differently. Yang Zhen was just standing up for us. When Teacher Zhou couldn’t justify her actions, she started to play sick.”

However, Teacher Zhou didn’t even wait for Su Bing to finish before she started to wail again. She stood up and walked out, crying out, “This is a grave injustice! Yang Zhen, I never thought you would stoop so low as to encourage children to lie. This matter cannot be left unresolved. I’m going to report this to the school leaders. Either you leave, or I will!”

Yang Zhen, having done nothing wrong, was not afraid to confront Teacher Zhou. With the situation escalating to this point, even if Teacher Zhou didn’t insist on involving the school leaders, Yang Zhen felt she had to. As a teacher, Yang Zhen had always believed that no matter concerning a student was too small. Especially when Teacher Zhou was blatantly treating Su Li unfairly and slandering him, such behavior could not be tolerated.

Unfazed, Yang Zhen followed after her, “Go ahead. I won’t be able to sleep tonight if this matter isn’t cleared up. Teacher Zhou, you seem to have recovered quite quickly. Just a moment ago, you were about to faint from anger, and now you’re walking briskly.”

Seeing this, the other teachers decided not to get involved any further. After all, they didn’t know the full story and didn’t want to jump to conclusions. However, one of them still tried to persuade Yang Zhen, “Teacher Yang, perhaps it’s best to let it go. Teacher Zhou is your senior. It’s better to avoid conflict. If you bring this to the school leaders, how will you work together in the future?”

Yang Zhen didn’t stop, “As a teacher, I believe the most important thing is that children should not be treated unfairly. There’s no need to persuade me.”

Su Li followed after her, “Teacher Yang, I’ll go with you.”

Seeing the three of them walk away, Su Bing quickly ran off towards the administration building. He found Teacher Du, who was busy grading papers in the office, and asked to make a phone call. Given that Su Bing was one of her best students, Teacher Du allowed Su Bing to use the office phone.

Su Bing dialed the home phone number, calculating that his mother should have returned from the newspaper office by now. He prayed fervently that his mother would answer the call.

As Su Bing was in the midst of his silent prayer, the call connected. The gentle and melodious voice of his mother echoed from the other end, “Hello, this is the Su residence.”

“Mother,” Su Bing began, his voice trembling slightly, “Su Li has been targeted by his homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhou, at school. Teacher Yang Zhen took Su Li to reason with her, but it ended up in a heated argument. Unable to out-argue Teacher Yang, Teacher Zhou feigned illness on the spot, even accusing Teacher Yang Zhen of causing her heart disease to flare up. Both teachers have gone to speak with the school leaders now…”

Upon hearing Su Bing’s voice, Gu Zi was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. She had been mentally prepared for Teacher Zhou’s antics, but she hadn’t expected things to escalate so quickly. After Su Bing finished speaking, she responded, “Alright, I’ll head to the school immediately. You go and stay with Su Li, make sure he doesn’t get too scared.”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zi immediately rose from her seat and began to gather her things, preparing to leave. Fortunately, she had just returned home and hadn’t yet picked up Su Le from the neighbor’s house.

“Guan Xin, I’m sorry,” she said, “I had just invited you over for tea after lunch, but it seems that won’t be possible now. I need to make a trip to the school.”

Guan Xin, who had been standing nearby and heard the conversation, also rose from her seat. “We can have tea anytime,” she said, “This matter is obviously more important. I’ll go with you. It’s quite a coincidence, the Yang Zhen you mentioned is my college classmate. We’re good friends.

“When we graduated, I wanted to introduce her to Guangcheng First Bilingual Primary School. She’s a very capable teacher, but due to some reasons, she had to teach at another school for a few years before she could transfer. So, she only joined the First Bilingual Primary School this year. I didn’t expect Su Li to end up in her class.”

Upon hearing this connection, Gu Zi was quite surprised. At the same time, she began to understand why Yang Zhen hadn’t returned immediately after graduation to find Aunt Yang. It seemed she had been unable to do so due to circumstances beyond her control.
