Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 514 - 49: [Extra Update 3 for Alliance Leader Qianqiu Zi’er]_3

Chapter 514: Chapter 49: [Extra Update 3 for Alliance Leader Qianqiu Zi’er]_3

Then, she stomped her foot, tears began to burst out, and she turned her head, wiping her eyes as she ran out.

Sister-in-law Wang and Sister-in-law Zheng were scrubbing sheets to the side—Teacher Xiao Zhou didn’t care for the kids’ needs. Two wet their pants in the morning, and four by noon. In this heat, don’t wash it and it’ll just get filthy!

It was the same job as before, but why did it feel different after the teacher changed?

The two women sighed, watching her run out and couldn’t help but shake their heads:

"This Teacher Xiao Zhou has been brought to tears again..."

"Sigh, this girl cries too easily... When Teacher Xiao Chu was here, kids laughed so hard they lost their voices. Do you think when my grandson starts school next year, they could switch back to Teacher Xiao Chu?"

The women were beginning to worry as well.

...

The sense of humiliation in Teacher Xiao Zhou’s heart was incomprehensible to others.

She wiped her tears while flipping her shiny black braid, heading straight to the far end of the military district.

There was a remote and spacious courtyard.

She started banging on the door.

The wooden doors thudded with a dull sound. Da Dan, who was squatting at the edge of the vegetable garden staring at his seedlings, heard the knocking and quickly ran over:

"Who is it?"

Knocking so rudely.

Opening the door—

"Teacher Xiao Zhou."

The expression on the little bald black-haired head changed a bit.

Teacher Xiao Zhou stared coldly at him with her red eyes for a while, then asked coldly, "Where’s Chu River?"

Da Dan didn’t want to answer.

His aunt?

His aunt was, of course, sleeping.

With the heat growing, you sweat with any movement, and washing takes up a lot of water!

But he couldn’t say that, so Da Dan cautiously replied:

"Aunt is out for something, anything I can help with?"

Teacher Xiao Zhou grew angrier: "What about Shi Suifeng?" This time, Da Dan didn’t even want to acknowledge her—what does she think his uncle does, at home at this hour? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Teacher Xiao Zhou realized her question but was still unwilling to let it go.

Looking at this spacious courtyard and the vegetable garden full within, her heart surged with humiliation and anger—living so frugally they grew so many vegetables here, how could Shi Suifeng look down on a successful young woman with a stable job like her?

No!

She realized: They never said he looked down on her; mainly, it was about those kids.

A sense of superiority as a teacher surged within her.

She folded her arms, looking down at Da Dan: "Kid, I heard you’re going to school next semester. How many characters do you know?"

Da Dan really didn’t know many characters, after all, he’d only attended classes for two days, right?

But once he opened his mouth—

"One and one make two, one and two make two... nine times nine makes eighty-one..."

For a second grader to recite the 99 multiplication table, he did it so fluently!

No matter how unreasonable, Teacher Xiao Zhou should know, for a child who hasn’t been to school to recite this, he’s indeed smart enough to be praised.

Teacher Xiao Zhou was momentarily speechless; she stomped her foot in anger just as Chu River came out from the door:

"Da Dan, what’s going on?"

The chattering was disturbing her.

The lie was exposed, but Da Dan’s face didn’t change:

"Aunt, when did you come inside?"

Then he diverted the topic: "Aunt, Teacher Xiao Zhou is here for you."

In his heart, his aunt was invincible, surely wouldn’t suffer any loss, so he was reassured.

And Chu River didn’t take it seriously, either.

No, to be exact, she was a bit cautious. After all, even if marrying her was not worthwhile, Teacher Xiao Zhou’s salary wasn’t entirely useless either...

"Teacher Xiao Zhou, you’re here!"

She even greeted warmly.

But who could be so warm to someone who snatched away her job?

Teacher Xiao Zhou even took a step back, realizing it, she mustered up her courage:

"Was it you who suggested sending the kids to school? Do you know how much burden that puts on Captain Shi? He supports your whole family with his salary, and you’re just so comfortable with it?"

Chu River thought for a while: "How about...Teacher Xiao Zhou, you give the job back to me, the 28 yuan a month can at least relieve some of this pressure..."

As taking care of kids was quite fun, and she was still a baby, wanting to play games too.

Teacher Xiao Zhou: ...

She recalled the reason she ran out of the nursery, this inflamed her more—

"It’s all because of you! You never even went to school, yet you’re teaching kids haphazardly, spoiling them. Now they’re out of control! I’ll tell all the families that you don’t know how to teach kids!"

Chu River’s eyes widened, looking innocent.

"I wasn’t teaching them, though."

A bunch of little brats, what could they be taught!

And besides...

"You’re the teacher now!"

Teacher Xiao Zhou got even angrier.

"And besides," Chu River suspiciously looked at her:

"Do kids even need managing? They’re easy to please. Just play a game with them, won’t that do?"

At this moment, a little brat squeezed in through the open door.

"Teacher Xiao Chu, please come back and teach us!"

Liu Jia Bao’s voice was so piercingly loud.

Following him was a little old lady who also plopped into the courtyard:

"Teacher Xiao Chu! Pity the children, pity my grandson, he’s constantly being picked on and punished by that Huang Mao girl changing her tricks... Why do the leaders hire a woman like her to be my child’s teacher? My grandchild..."

The young and old’s wailing gathered, making the small courtyard boisterous.

"Liu Jia Bao!"

Chu River couldn’t stand the clamorous noise, glaring at the little dirty child on the ground:

"What’s wrong with you? Have you forgotten what I taught you? You’re still sitting on the ground crying, isn’t that dirty?"

Liu Jia Bao responded with an "Oh" in grievance, then instinctively rolled on the ground twice before getting up.

The old lady had stopped her wailing, staring at her grandson’s grey clothes, then turned to look at the earnest Teacher Xiao Chu, momentarily confused about what’s going on.

Teacher Xiao Zhou was also startled by this extraordinary family that had come looking for her, and she jumped up:

"See, see?"

"This is your favorite Teacher Xiao Chu! Teaching kids to roll on the ground, isn’t it filthy? You’re so unhygienic!"

"And you, Liu Jia Bao, look at you, all filthy, disgusting."

Holy cow, no one could insult a grandma’s grandson in front of her, especially since Liu Jia Bao was her only grandson in the whole field—

In spring, the old lady was even scared the breeze might blow her grandson’s hair off, and now she jumped up, hands on hips, cursing:

"What do you know! You’re just boasting with your degree, yet you can’t even educate children!"

"What’s the problem with my Bao rolling on the ground? Isn’t everyone digging in the dirt! And you don’t allow toilet breaks during class, and the kid is soaked in urine, is that hygienic?"

"Pah!"

"Just count how many kids wet their pants since you took over as a teacher? Just yesterday, my Bao’s back was wet with urine!"

"If you’re so clean, why don’t you stop the kids from wetting their pants?"

The old lady was formidable, a match for two.

Da Dan listened to her words pouring like bullets, widening his eyes.

He looked at Liu Jia Bao wiping his nose and reflected—he shouldn’t avoid playing with Liu Jia Bao just because he has a big temper. The boy’s tantrum-throwing and rolling on the ground are quite impressive!

Looking within the house, a few children clustered at the door, their eyes fixed on Old Lady Liu, sparkling with the light of learning.

And Teacher Xiao Zhou...

Feeling helpless, a young and (self-proclaimed) beautiful girl like her, being a teacher was respectable, but having to take kids to the bathroom, wasn’t that disgusting!

And some students deliberately cause trouble, making dozens of trips to the bathroom during class. She wouldn’t let them go, couldn’t they hold it for a while?

Could that be her fault?

Teacher Xiao Zhou felt wronged.
