Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 411 - 410 Personality
"I don't need you to promise me anything about next year. I'm not sure about others, but I know Hu Meilin, so I just want you to give me an explanation. Why can Hu Meilin be a substitute teacher, and I can't? If you can give me a reasonable explanation, I will leave immediately. As a teacher, I must set an example for my students, so I won't make unreasonable demands." Xu Suya said, looking directly at Principal Ding.
"Xu Suya, what kind of attitude is this? Does the school have to explain its arrangements to you?" Principal Ding's face darkened when he saw Xu Suya challenging his authority.
If playing the good cop didn't work, naturally, only the bad cop was left.

After all, Xu Suya was just a rural teacher, whereas Principal Ding was the head of the school.
"You don't need to explain. I'll go to the county and ask the leaders of the Education Bureau myself." Xu Suya stood up and said calmly, though her heart was filled with extreme sorrow and anger.
"You, Xu Suya, stop right there!" Seeing that Xu Suya was about to make trouble at the county Education Bureau, Principal Ding couldn't help but change his expression and stood up to shout.
"What is it, Principal Ding?" Xu Suya turned her head and asked.
"I understand your feelings, Teacher Xu, but shouldn't things be taken slowly? The matter of the substitute teacher will be resolved eventually. You've toiled in Ge Family Village for over ten years, and I'm aware of that, but you must give me some time, right?" Seeing Xu Suya turn to look at him, Principal Ding intended to take a tough stance once more but ultimately, he could only muster a bitter smile.
He really had no grounds to be angry! Besides, given the temper Xu Suya had just displayed, if he pressed further, she would definitely cause a scene at the Education Bureau.
This would inevitably lead the leaders at the Education Bureau to think he was incompetent.
"Everything can be done slowly except for this matter. I can step back on anything, but not on this. Because this is an insult to the term 'people's teacher'!" After speaking, Xu Suya turned and walked away.
Upon seeing this, Principal Ding was so angry that he cursed under his breath.
"Make a fuss if you want, it's originally Chen Haoguan's mess. Let it fall back on him, he can deal with it!" After cursing for a while, Principal Ding decided not to think about it anymore.
All things considered, Principal Ding was also furious deep down.
The list had already been finalized and submitted, but suddenly, Director Chen from the county Education Bureau added someone new last minute. It was manageable that someone got added, as higher officials had the final say, but it had to be Hu Meilin, which made Principal Ding feel as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly, leaving him unable to be firm in front of Xu Suya.
The reality was just too unfair!
Xu Suya didn't go to the county immediately that day; she went home first since it was getting late.
"What's wrong? You look so down. Did your driving instructor criticize you?" As soon as Xu Suya got home, Ge Shengming noticed her odd expression and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, it was okay." Xu Suya replied. She was somewhat reluctant to discuss the matter with her husband to avoid upsetting him too.
"No, there's definitely something wrong. We've been together for so many years; you can't hide it from me." Ge Shengming said, looking at Xu Suya.
Facing her husband's gaze, Xu Suya couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, tears flowing unstoppable.
Seeing his usually strong wife suddenly cry, Ge Shengming was terrified and hurried to wipe away her tears, saying, "Suya, don't cry. Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll go beat them up right now!"
"How old are you, still fighting at the drop of a hat?" Xu Suya, seeing her husband so anxious, felt a bit better and wiped the tears from her face, giving him a reproachful look.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about fighting, but you have to tell me what's really going on? I'm your husband, you have to talk to me about these things," Ge Shengming said, relieved that Xu Suya had stopped crying.
"That last bit sounded more reasonable," Xu Suya gave Ge Shengming another look, then pondered a bit before continuing, "My name isn't on the teacher list for Town Third Elementary School."
"What? Damn it all! Why isn't it? Why not? I'm going to see the principal about this right now!" Ge Shengming understood everything as soon as he heard it and was furious enough to stand up and head to town.
Who else if not Ge Shengming would understand how much Xu Suya loved teaching and adored children?
"You get back here!" Xu Suya quickly pulled Ge Shengming back when she saw him leaving.
"Why are you pulling me back? I need to confront those people and ask them why. When they couldn't pay your salary back then, how come they didn't think about canceling your teaching credentials? And now that they've built a new school, they're kicking you to the curb just like that, these sons of bitches! Damn, I need to…" Ge Shengming grew angrier the more he spoke.
He could endure his own grievances, but he could never bear to see his wife suffer any injustice as a simple, honest man from the mountains.
"Swearing every other word, what kind of behavior is that? I'm still a public school teacher!" Xu Suya scolded, pulling Ge Shengming, glaring at him.
"Alright, alright, I won't curse. I'll go and speak sensibly with the principal," Ge Shengming said, knowing Xu Suya disliked his swearing and tried to speak calmly.
"It's done. I've already spoken all the reason there is to Principal Ding and the others; they know they are in the wrong; your going will be futile. I'll go to the Education Bureau tomorrow and see what they have to say. At this point, whether I teach or not doesn't matter, but they must give me an explanation," Xu Suya said.
"Then fine, I'll go with you tomorrow," Ge Shengming said.
"Why are you going? To argue or fight with someone? I'm a public school teacher; if there's an issue, I will speak to them reasonably by myself. You just stay at home and be good, and don't even think about calling our son. If he gets Zuo Le to intervene, it changes the whole situation. Even if the county gives me a quota again, I'd still feel like there's a thorn in my heart!" Xu Suya said sternly.
"Ah, your temperament, your temperament, can't you change it just a bit?" Ge Shengming saw his wife say this and realized she was determined to see it through, he couldn't help but smile wryly.
"If I changed my temperament, would I have married you in the first place? Would I still be me?" Xu Suya glared as she spoke.
Ge Shengming then fell silent.
He knew very well the pressure Xu Suya had faced when she married him, from her family, society, and even her close friends, but she married him anyway because she was sure she loved him and was convinced that he was a good, honest man.
Her character hadn't changed to this day. Back when Ren Yao had amnesia and looked disheveled, when the mischievous kids would chase and throw things at him, only young Ge Dongxu knew to protect him; all that was due to Xu Suya's upbringing as he was too busy everyday struggling to make a living and was too coarse to know how to properly teach the child.
