Chapter 937: Chapter 937: A Day as a Teacher (6)
Su He didn’t sleep well all night.
So the next morning, when she was throwing out the trash, she saw the things in the trash can and realized that when Chuzheng said she threw them away, she really meant it.
Those things were quietly lying in the trash can.
Of course, Su He couldn’t pick them back up, so she could only kick the trash can a few times to vent her anger.
–
Su He used to have a pretty good relationship with Chuzheng; most of the time, they came and went together.
But recently, the teachers noticed something strange between them.
Su He ignored Chuzheng, and Chuzheng ignored Su He.
It was as if they were enemies.
“Teacher Ruan seems a lot colder recently.”
“Yesterday, when I talked to her, she just glanced at me. Oh gosh, that look in her eyes still gives me chills. But she did end up helping me… although speaking to her is a bit intimidating now.”
“Teacher Ruan has indeed changed quite a bit recently.”
“Did she break up or something?”
“I haven’t heard that Teacher Ruan has a boyfriend…”
Chuzheng suddenly turned from a soft and tender teacher into a cold and aloof one, and the other teachers were curious about what happened.
The school teachers also noticed that whenever Chuzheng taught a class, Class 18 in the first year was incredibly quiet.
It wasn’t like before when you could hear them from across the hall.
Rumor had it that even the most mischievous students in Class 18 behaved well and didn’t dare to cause trouble in her class.
“What happened to Class 18 in the first year, did they turn over a new leaf?”
“In other teachers’ classes, they are still the same,” a teacher said. “But they’re quiet in Teacher Ruan’s class.”
“How did Teacher Ruan manage to tame them?”
“It used to be that Teacher Ruan’s class was the noisiest.”
The homeroom teacher of Class 18 was puzzled, so when Chuzheng came in, a few teachers surrounded her.
“Teacher Ruan, how did you tame those little brats in Class 18?”
Chuzheng straightforwardly said, “To catch the bandit, first catch the leader.”
“Huh?”
The teachers didn’t quite understand.
Chuzheng had no intention to teach the teachers after teaching the students, so she didn’t plan to continue explaining.
With her cold and stern demeanor, the other teachers didn’t dare ask more questions and gradually left, pondering over the meaning of “to catch the bandit, first catch the leader.”

Chuzheng: “…”
There were no classes for Chuzheng next, but she couldn’t leave just yet, she still needed to ask for leave to go out.

“You little girl, you know to come back now. My legs are sore from standing here.”
As soon as Chuzheng walked out of the elevator, she heard this voice shouting.
A slightly plump woman with a bag stood at the door, glaring angrily, her features appearing sharp and bitter.
It was the original owner’s aunt.
Before Chuzheng could speak, Su He also came up. Seeing the aunt, her eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly smiled and greeted enthusiastically as if it were her own relative: “Auntie, you’re here, come in and sit.”
What is this nasty person up to?
Su He opened the door while inviting the aunt inside.
“Oh, this girl is sensible, unlike this little brat.” The aunt changed her face quickly.
Su He and the aunt chatted and laughed as if they were the real family.
Su He made an excuse to fetch water for the aunt and left the living room.
The aunt’s face immediately turned cold: “The money I asked you to prepare, is it ready? Your brother urgently needs it.”
“No money.”
Chuzheng sat across, casually crossed her legs, and rested her fingers on her knee.
The aunt’s eyes widened: “What did you say? Your brother is waiting for this money, I’m telling you, if your brother can’t get married, you’ll be fully responsible.”
Chuzheng looked at her coldly: “What, do I have to marry him?”
“…” The aunt choked and coughed, her face trembling with anger; she pointed at Chuzheng furiously: “What nonsense are you spouting? That’s your brother!”
This little brat, what’s up with her? Before, she might have deflected saying she had no money, but she never talked back like this.
And saying something like that.
It’s absolutely infuriating!!
Chuzheng said calmly, “I’m his mom, right? I have to care about his marriage and children.”
The aunt shook with rage, her face flushed, pounding the table: “Ruan Chuzheng, how can you say such rebellious things? And you’re still a teacher, is this how a teacher should behave?”
Chuzheng’s fingers gently tapped her knee, and she spoke slowly: “Since he’s not my son, why are you asking me for money for his wedding?”
“Our family raised you with so much effort, and now you are unwilling to give a little money?” The aunt cursed for a while with harsh words: “Why did we raise such an ungrateful brat, we should’ve let you starve out there back then!”
The original owner was indeed raised by their family, which couldn’t be denied.
But the original owner didn’t have a good life with them either.
The original owner joined their family when she started middle school.
From the time she joined, she practically took over all the housework.
The original owner was always good academically, and her aunt got several kids for her to tutor from somewhere.
The aunt initially claimed they were friends’ kids who were struggling academically.
The original owner believed her.
But later she found out that the aunt had charged tutoring fees.
And none of that money was ever seen by the original owner.
From high school, the original owner’s tuition and living expenses were all earned by herself through work.
From her internship to her official job, half of her monthly salary was transferred, and the aunt even came to ask for more, so after deducting her own expenses, almost all of it went to them.
To put it bluntly, their family only raised the original owner for three years of middle school.
They gave her food, a bed, and got a free maid in return.
The money she gave them after starting work practically paid off the expenses of those three years with inflation taken into account.
Now that the blade of grass has grown, citing the nurturing grace, they start harvesting, over and over, endless.
Now they want to harvest her like a leek again, but it’s not that easy.
The aunt was still cursing: “Your brother finally has a chance to get married, and now he’s short some money for the betrothal gifts. You’re supposed to help, and you say you have no money, you ungrateful brat!!”
Su He came out with the water, curiously said, “Hmm.”
“How can Teacher Ruan have no money? Didn’t she buy an air conditioner just a few days ago? I checked, that air conditioner costs over ten thousand.”
“What!” Upon hearing this, the aunt exploded: “What air conditioner costs over ten thousand?!”
A two-thousand-dollar air conditioner should be very expensive in her opinion.
Upon hearing something over ten thousand, one can imagine the aunt’s mood.
“You have money to buy these luxuries for yourself and won’t give money to the family!”
Chuzheng glanced at Su He, who covered her mouth as if she had misspoken but her eyes carried malice.
She did it on purpose.
“If you don’t give money today, I’m not leaving!!”
The aunt sat fiercely on the sofa.
“I’ll let the neighbors see, let them see how ungrateful you are. You’re not afraid of losing face, why should I be!”
“Are you sure you won’t leave?”
“If you want me to leave, give me the money.”
Chuzheng got up and went into the room.
The aunt thought Chuzheng went to get the money, feeling proud, thinking she still had the upper hand.
But thinking about Chuzheng buying an air conditioner for ten thousand, her heart bled again.
That was money!!
