CHAPTER 84: CHAPTER 84: BLESSING IN DISGUISE

Li Maojie also expressed his stance, and apologized to the two of them, "The principal misunderstood you that day. You’re all good kids. Keep working hard, and you’ll surely get into college and make something of yourselves in the future."

Lin Yi liked hearing that, and the frustration in his heart dissipated a lot. He even proposed to keep them for dinner at his house.

Huang Weixiong repeatedly shook his head and refused, "Uncle, there’s no need to be courteous with us. We came today not just to see the children, but also to resolve issues. We’ve thoroughly investigated An Yijie’s long-term bullying of Chen Ruiyu and Chen Xinyue.

It was indeed his fault. An Meihua, who is both An Yijie’s aunt and their class teacher, was aware but chose favoritism towards An Yijie. She also had issues with her own judgment and didn’t want to address the matter. The whole class was also unfriendly to Chen Ruiyu and Chen Xinyue because of An Meihua’s attitude.

This situation is extremely serious. The education bureau has already disciplined An Meihua, transferring her to a village school under Nansheng County, and she is no longer allowed to work in education.

At the same time, the education bureau has sent personnel to Anshan Society Primary School to educate and supervise all teachers and students, strictly prohibiting such incidents from happening again.

Furthermore, regarding the education of the two children, the leadership has made arrangements for them to transfer to the City Experimental Primary School. We’ve already informed the principal of the City Experimental Primary School about the children’s situation, and the principal also indicated that they would help select the most suitable form teacher for them."

Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin exchanged a glance, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes.

Lin Qin stepped forward, continuously expressing words of gratitude.

Chen Wenjun was equally excited, and immediately declared, "Thank you to the inspector, and thank you to the leaders of the education bureau. We are very satisfied with this arrangement, and if there’s anything we need to cooperate on later, please let us know."

Huang Weixiong laughed and shook his head, only saying he needed to take the children’s notebooks.

For this couple, it wasn’t a big deal at all.

Lin Yi insisted on keeping them for dinner at his home.

Huang Weixiong refused, left the items, took the children’s notebooks, and hurriedly headed out.

Chen Wenjun caught up with them, as he needed to ferry the three across the river.

Once the gate was closed behind them.

Lin Qin excitedly hugged the two children and spun around, "This is so great! You’ve really turned misfortune into fortune this time!"

City Experimental Primary School is the best in An City, attended by children either living in the district or are children of elites or faculty staff, with an overall teaching level far surpassing other primary schools. The quality of both teachers and students is relatively high, making bullying incidents less likely.

Most importantly, the education bureau’s involvement just now, with Huang Weixiong saying the principal over there will carefully select the class teacher, gave Lin Qin peace of mind.

Due to her excitement, Lin Qin forgot about the items Huang Weixiong left before leaving. It was Lin Yi who went over to open the bag and discovered it contained some fruits, two cans of malted milk, and a red envelope with ten yuan inside.

There was also an apology letter from Anshan Society Primary School.

During this period, Lin Qin followed Chen Wenjun to learn reading and writing, managing to clumsily read the letter out loud, "Dad, these are reparations from Anshan Society Primary School for the kids. It’s okay for us to accept them. Let’s not go to Anshan Society anymore to avoid trouble."

In this village, everyone shares the same surname and stands united. With such a big issue, regardless of whether they were justified, the villagers of Anshan Society are surely angry. It would be better not to go, as if they were recognized, some might throw stones at them or secretly sabotage them.

Lin Yi nodded repeatedly, and gave a reminder to the two children.

Meanwhile, just after docking, Li Maojie and Teacher Zhou separated from Huang Weixiong.

The two walked back to Anshan Society.

On the way, Teacher Zhou looked displeased, "Principal, I just looked at the two children’s notebooks. They’re promising students; Teacher An was very confused!"

Li Maojie sighed along with him, "We also bear some responsibility for this matter. It’s a good thing it’s been resolved. Next time, if there are any external students, we must not exhibit any discriminatory behavior."

In fact, he should have thought of the fact that students sent by the education bureau, regardless of where they come from, definitely have some background. Why didn’t he think in that direction when he heard the word ’Dang people’?

No matter how regretful they are, the situation is settled, and there’s nothing more to be said.

The education bureau moved quickly, and the two children can report to the City Experimental Primary School by Monday.

Located in the city center, City Experimental Primary School is quite a distance from Nanxi, taking about forty minutes on foot or fifteen to twenty minutes by bike each way, four times a day, so walking entirely isn’t feasible.

Lin Qin considered buying a bicycle, but with the family’s external debts not yet paid off, she thought about it and quietly discussed with Chen Wenjun, "How about we borrow money from Boss Zheng to buy the bicycle first? In these days, we’ll catch more fish and shrimp to pay back the money.

We’ll repay Master Zhang half first, explaining that it might take a few days to pay off completely."

Later we’ll need to invite Zhang Yongquan to renovate the first floor, so we’ll also need to set a date with him.

Chen Wenjun agreed.

The next day, after finishing their work, the couple managed to bring home a brand new bicycle.

Because it was purchased through connections arranged by Zheng Guoxing, it only cost a hundred and twenty.

When the bicycle arrived in Nanyu, Lin Yi and the two children were ecstatic.

Chen Wenjun proactively handed the bicycle to Lin Yi, "Dad, try to learn it over the next two days. If you can ride it, you can take the two children to and from school. If not, Ah Qin will have to do it. I have to set up the stall early in the morning, and I really don’t have time, though I can pick them up at noon."

Lin Yi nodded fervently, "Okay, okay, okay, I’ll start learning immediately. Qingxiang said the bicycle isn’t very difficult, so I’ll give it a try."

Seeing Lin Yi’s enthusiasm, Chen Wenjun packed up his fishing gear and headed out, while Lin Qin had to help Lin Yi with the bicycle, unable to go out to work at all.

After two consecutive days, Lin Yi still couldn’t ride very smoothly, while Lin Qin got the hang of it first, even able to carry the children back and forth on the dirt road in front of their house, looking steady.

Lin Yi was incredibly envious, secretly resolving to practice well.

For now, Lin Qin would escort the children to school, while Chen Wenjun, having been able to ride a bicycle in his past life, didn’t need to learn and would pick them up after school.

This left Lin Yi, who was in the dark about the situation, feeling very frustrated and determined to work hard to ride steadily within a month and take on the responsibility of ferrying the children.

On Sunday afternoon.

After finishing her chores, Lin Qin first rode the bicycle to take the children to the City Experimental Primary School to explore the route, and then bought them new clothes and shoes.

Seeing that the weather was turning cold, long pants and long sleeves needed to be prepared, sandals had to be replaced with cloth shoes, and considering the previous bullying by An Yijie, some of their clothes and pants were damaged to various degrees, and it wasn’t appropriate to wear them to school. So new short-sleeves and shorts had to be bought as well.

All in all, these expenses totaled more than thirty yuan.

On her way back, Lin Qin kept calculating the expenses since her reincarnation, and it was a shock. In her previous life, she was extremely frugal, aside from spending large sums due to illness later on, she hardly spent any money. In this life, only a few months have passed, and she’s already spent ten thousand yuan or more. It’s truly terrifying.
