Chapter 366

Jiang Yue (6)

The principal had noticed this little girl for a while. After observing her for a few days, he became more certain that there was something wrong. So, he caught her red-handed today.

Jiang Yue was so frightened that her face was pale, and she couldn’t say a word. She could only stare blankly at the principal and let him take her to the teacher’s office.

“Tell me, what are you doing here?” The principal was stern and fierce.

“I... I just came to wait for my big brother to finish class.”

“What’s your big brother’s name?”

“...” Jiang Yue couldn’t answer.

She was still too young to fool anyone with her clumsy acting. What’s more, the teachers were all locals. Where there was a child going to school, what their name was, who their family members were, they basically knew everything.

The principal took a look at her self-made schoolbag, touched it, and found a workbook that she made herself. His face immediately turned gloomy.

If this was a student from his school, he would be very happy, but unfortunately she was not.

If everyone studied by eavesdropping like her and became self-taught, then what was the school made for?

If everyone wanted to take advantage illegally, who would support the school and the teachers?

If this precedent was set and everyone followed her in the future, would anyone still be willing to pay tuition?

The principal said coldly, “I see that this is your first offense, so I won’t hold you accountable. But if you dare to come again in the future, I will tell the village chief and let him teach you a lesson and drive you all out of the village.”

The principal was just trying to scare her, but something like this did happen before. Once someone could no longer be tolerated in the village, they would have to leave their hometown and who knew where else they could go. But this was something from the past, and now they were a little more disciplined. They no longer depended solely on the village chief’s decision, but it was enough to scare a child.

Jiang Yue’s face instantly turned pale and she cried.

Jiang Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. While sobbing, she poured a glass of water for Teacher Tang.

Teacher Tang smiled very gently, and it didn’t look like he came to settle accounts. But as soon as he sat down, what he said made Jiang Yue feel cold.

Teacher Tang said, “I see that this child has not been to school for several days, is there something wrong?”

Jiang Yue didn’t dare to speak. She just clutched her sleeves, her hands and feet going cold.

Jiang Xiumei said oddly, “Teacher Tang, we don’t have any children going to school in our house.”

This time, it was Teacher Tang’s turn to be surprised. He looked at Jiang Yue with a touch of curiosity in his eyes.

It turned out that when she went to eavesdrop on the class, it was not at the behest of the adults in her family, but by her own initiative.

He had noticed her for a while. At first, he thought that she was just here to play, so he just let her be, thinking that she would leave soon. He didn’t expect that she would persist for so long. This made Teacher Tang really touched.

Teacher Tang said, “So you didn’t know. I’m going to tell you what happened, don’t scare the child.”

Jiang Xiumei’s look also became serious. She secretly wiped her hands on her clothes, her palms starting to sweat.

“Yes, Teacher Tang, please say it.”

Jiang Yue was already crying wuu wuu wuu.

She was really scared, so without waiting for Teacher Tang to say anything, she said it all by herself.

“I’m sorry, Mom, I secretly went to the school to listen to class without telling you. When the principal found out, he sent me back. Wuu wuu wuu, Mom, I’m sorry. The principal said that we will be driven away. I did this, so I will suffer the consequences alone. I will go to the village chief and turn myself in. Wuu wuu wuu...”

She was crying really miserably and looked really pitiful.

Jiang Xiumei was stunned, unable to recover for a long time. Her scalp became numb from what Jiang Yue said.
