The English teacher dominated most of the evening self-study of the third class. Normally, the first year of high school had two sessions of night self-study. Because of the papers, the self-study of the evening became three i.e the same as that of the second and third grades of high school.

The English teacher came to the class and handed the papers to the English class representatives and study committee members.

She stood in the podium while the test papers were distributed, “I heard that one of your classmates has made great progress this time, with a math score of 91 points and a chinese score of 89 points.”

She faced Su Xingchen and asked, “Why did you fail in English?”

All the students in the class followed the English teacher’s gaze and turned back to look at Su Xingchen.

The English teacher dropped the matter and continued, “Okay, now let’s talk about the test paper, the first question, the English-Chinese translation.”

When it came to translating between English and Chinese, her mood was complicated.

At first, when she saw Su Xingchen’s English test paper, she also felt that Su Xingchen had made great progress.

The little girl who kept the papers blank in the past, this time had written the English-Chinese translation and it was right. The small composition was pieced together well. She could guess that she had seriously taken the exam.

But when compared with other subjects, it was so low. What was this discriminating against her? She failed in the subject she taught?

The problem was that the offices of the liberal arts were all together. The language group and the English group had offices next to each other. When the papers were checked, everyone went to the office at night, and would inevitably sit down and discuss. When it came to the post in the school forum, everyone laughed and said, “Who is the Shā mǎ tè in Class 16? Now in the forum everyone is talking about the Shā mǎ tè in Class 16. “

All the teachers drank tea and smiled.

They said ‘Shā mǎ tè’ in private, and they didn’t dare to say it publicly in the class.

They just wanted to stimulate their students, so they closed the door and scolded them saying they couldn’t even compare to a Shā mǎ tè. But these guys in a blink of an eye sold them and posted it on the school forum.

No one pursued it, but if parents called to complain, their wages would be deducted.  

Teacher Ma, who also taught politics, laughed and said, “Su Xingchen has made great progress this time. I heard Teacher Ke say that she has scored 91 points in mathematics and 89 in language and politics. Not bad.”

Teacher Ma smiled and asked the English teacher who poured water from their office, “Mr. Jiao, how is her English exam? “

The English teacher got the water, and left.

When she went near the science teachers group, the physics and chemistry teachers were also whispering that Su Xingchen had made great progress this time.

“What’s the problem? She went to Teacher Zhao for tutions.”

The physics and chemistry teacher stopped talking and looked up to the English teacher who came in, “Teacher Lao Jiao? Come and sit.”

They talked about Su Xingchen again, saying she had made great progress.

The English teacher turned around and found that Su Xingchen’s Chinese, mathematics, politics, history, physics, chemistry were all great but she failed in English.

This was a bit intolerable.

The paper was half-blank.The English teacher had a self-study class the next night. She took the paper and knocked on Su Xingchen’s desk, and called her out. She asked her what was going on.

Everyone was packing up their bags and probing to see what the English teacher wanted to say to Su Xingchen.

In the cold wind, Su Xingchen kept her hands in her pockets, “I can’t write, my foundation is not good. I don’t understand many things.”

“You can’t write if you don’t study!” The English teacher was a female in her forties with short hair, a small round face, and glasses.

“You can’t just study Chinese and mathematics. English and Chinese and mathematics exams are one hundred and fifty points in the college entrance examination!”

The English teacher also wanted to give her extra classes like Teacher Chen, but she didn’t have time. She had two other classes of English.

Teacher Chen didn’t teach too many lessons. In addition to being the class teacher and Chinese teacher of Class 16, she had one other class that she taught Chinese.

But a teacher in charge of the class was also a big responsibility. If she was not helped by Teacher Ke, she wouldn’t even have time to eat.

“I heard that you signed up for a cram school? You can’t just take a few of them. English is also very important.”

The English teacher looked at Su Xingchen’s English scores and her heart pained.

Su Xingchen didn’t want to find a tutor for English. Just a cram class for mathematics, physics and chemistry from Teacher Zhao, had already caused a war in the Su family. If she said that she wanted to find a tutor for English …

If they had treated her as a family member and as a loved one, she could have asked them to pay her tuition and living expenses, but when they tried to exclude her from the inside, she couldn’t ask for anything with the right attitude.

Since they no longer treated her as a family member, how could she ask them to pay?

She gave the talisman that was left in Su’s family to Father Su because she still needed Father Su to pay for her tuition and give her living expenses.

Since she had a need, she would naturally have to pay.

Only in this way could she feel at ease and not owe them.
