Chapter 39: The Blame Is Not On Me, Why Fear Slander

  After a while, no one from the teaching office responded. Single Changgen also sighed and heard that Lei Dapeng had returned. This made him speechless with anger. It was already a fact, and there was nothing he could do to change it now.

  He often gets angry, and his anger is directed at something. He estimated that he saw the bicycles parked in front of the teaching building and stretched his head to come in. With a pleased smile, he took out a treasure and held it in his hands, a broken straw hat with a bunch of small apples with red and white stripes inside, which was an early ripening variety, with red flowers and fruit. He brought them in for everyone to eat, saying that they were given by Niur's mother, but no one took any, so he ate them himself, making crunching sounds as he bit into them. After eating a few bites, he realized the atmosphere was not right. Le Dapeng looked at Shan Changgen's triumphant appearance and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Uncle Shan? Did your wife clean you out again? Don't have anywhere to eat?"

  Everyone burst out laughing, knowing that Shan Changgen was a bit afraid of his wife. Shan Changgen didn't mince words this time, grabbing Lei Dapeng and scolding him severely for several sentences. Lei Dapeng had been a teacher for almost a month now, and finally showed his true colors. Upon hearing the terrible grades and numerous mistakes, his face turned deep red with embarrassment, not daring to retort back. A large stack of papers was slammed in front of Lei Dapeng, who flipped through them left and right, slapping and explaining: "It shouldn't be wrong this many times, right? I thought at least a few would pass?"

  Lei Dapeng was shocked, seemingly thinking that his own level as a disciple should not be so bad, while Shan Yong was indulging in how this goods could produce such a high-level poem, and asked cautiously:

  "Da Peng, these lines of poetry..."

  "Good grief, how can you say that? The unified exam questions are too biased, students have never practiced them before, and they haven't even been covered in class. Who could possibly know the answers?" Lei Dapeng slapped the test paper onto the desk, as if it wasn't his problem.

  When it comes to this, Shuang Changgen indeed said that the topic is a bit biased. For city students, knowledge is broad and there's no big problem, but for rural students, it's difficult. This is good, Lei Dapeng was delighted and said with pride: "During the exam, I found out that many of them were telling me answers they had searched on their mobile phones, Shuang uncle, are you sure he judged correctly? Didn't he misjudge me?"

  Everyone's eyes widened in shock, their throats constricted with fear. It turned out that this was indeed the work of this guy, and now they were in trouble.

  Shan Yong was really angry this time, pointing at Lei Da Peng and scolding: "You...used your mobile phone to access the internet during the exam? How could you help students cheat?"

  "Exams without cheating, who can pass, was it me or you who taught?" Lei Dapeng retorted.

  "This... this is just like when you were a student and I was your teacher?" Dan Yongqi said with a chuckle.

  "What's the difference, when you're a teacher, shouldn't you be hypocritical?" Lei Dapeng retorted, thoroughly stifling Shan Yong, who was furious and spoke recklessly: "You scoundrel, go ahead and cheat if you want to, but can't even do it right, why don't you just choke on a baozi and die!"

  "Just pay attention next time, can't fill in the blanks and choke to death? You've had more make-up tests than me, but I haven't seen you choke to death, and you're still alive and kicking." Lei Dapeng's sharp words left Dan Yong speechless.

  Two people called out, a rare situation, I guess it's because Leigang has been so confident in being a role model lately that he dares to call out anyone.

  It's clear that Lei Dapeng didn't do it on purpose, absolutely not. His true level is just like this. With a belly full of anger, he couldn't help but say to Lei Dapeng, who was staring blankly: "Everyone, don't worry about it, and don't quarrel anymore. I also lost my temper for a moment, and my words were too harsh... However, Dapeng, you can't teach seventh grade here. We have several promising students here, who might be able to get into the city's high school, or even take the college entrance exam..."

  One not allowed to teach, Lei Dapeng was displeased, rolling his eyes and saying: "What's the point? I've never seen anyone as muddle-headed as you... what's good about going to university? Originally, the village had some good laborers, but after they went to university, they all learned how to be idle and lazy, ruining their good labor skills... just look at those few, they can't even see it clearly, only knowing how to attend classes, not even knowing how to cook a meal."

  Uh, Single Long Gen was struck by a guy, this statement is not false, at least the fact that this guy can go to college is proof. And the ones being belittled are actually Si Mu Xian and Class Monitor Ding Yi Zhi, implying that Lei Ge himself is still stronger than them.

  This is a big blow, Leigang is about to anger everyone. Dan Changgen, on the other hand, has a red face and knocks on the table, saying: "I'm talking about several girls here who didn't do well in junior high school, now they're all failing... If they can get into a key university or a half-key university, isn't that equivalent to jumping out of the rural gate? Do you think it's easy for our village to produce a college student?"

  "Lei Dapeng said, 'You don't understand this, boys are ruined by university, girls are ruined by boys, and when they graduate, not one of them is any good... it's better to just stay in the village.' The interns who came with him turned green with anger. Single Zhang was so angry he couldn't help but curse: 'I think you're not a good catch either!'"

  He slammed the papers on the table and stormed out of the room. Single Courage was so angry that he kicked Lei Da Peng's foot, scolding him to get back to the kitchen to cook, never to substitute for class again, and then turned around to shout "Uncle" and chased after him...

  …………

  …………

  It's been a long time since I've seen such a magnificent display of thunder and lightning. Today, I was once again impressed.

  Si Mu Xian, Ding Yi Zhi and the two girls had just come to their senses, looking at Lei Da Peng covering his painful butt with a quilt, with an expression of wanting revenge. They didn't know what to say or whether they should try to persuade him. The team leader and the league secretary were stunned, staring at each other in dismay. This was a big scandal! If it was just a mistake, that would be one thing, but cheating and making mistakes? What could you do with him?!

  And at this time, Lei Dapeng still hadn't thoroughly figured out how this thing had happened. He sat in the principal's chair, flipping through a test paper covered in red X's, and asked Si Moxian: "Brother Xian, where did I go wrong? I really did look it up online. Can't let students say that Teacher Lei taught all wrong things?"

  "Second brother, anyone can believe it, but never trust Baidu... Searching for hundreds or thousands of answers, the truth and falsehood are mixed up. Can that be considered knowledge to teach students?" Si Mu Xian said tactfully.

  "Oh, then it's not my problem, it's a network issue." Lei Dapeng let out a sigh of relief, finally finding an excuse to extricate himself.

  Class monitor Ding Yizhi couldn't help but rebuke him in a soft tone: "Dapeng, you should go apologize to Principal Shan. If it's your mistake, then it's your problem. How can it be the internet's problem? The internet isn't without correct answers, but you always pick the wrong ones. Can that really be the internet's problem?"

  "That's the problem, and if you pursue it further, it's a problem with school education, they didn't teach me properly." Lei Dapeng sneered, "You're being a bit unreasonable."

  So evasive, it's enough to make those few people angry, this misleading of students is quite reasonable, Wang Huating scolded: "Lei Dapeng, you don't even know yourself, what kind of student can you teach? If you can't teach, that's one thing, but you're also helping them cheat, what kind of teacher are you?"

  "Who wouldn't know, it's just two lines of poetry, do you have to get so angry?" Lei Dapeng used to only not dare call out Eggy, now he had to add Wang Huating. Wang Huating scolded him saying: "You still have the nerve to say, alone in a foreign land as a guest, one branch of red apricot comes out of the wall; when flowers fall, again meet you, one branch of red apricot comes out of the wall... solitary sail far shadow blue sky ends, again one branch of red apricot comes out of the wall. Lei Dapeng, I ask you, spring color fills the garden can't be locked up, what's the next line?"

  Lei Dapeng bit his index finger, stared blankly, and realized that it couldn't be the case that all of them were like a single red apricot coming out from the wall. He muttered and didn't dare to speak up, silent for a while, until Wang Huating scolded: "Idiot, you don't even dare to say 'a single red apricot comes out from the wall'!"

  She turned her head and left, really didn't expect to make such a fool of herself in this place. As soon as she walked away, Lei Dapeng sneered, snorted his nose and hummed: "You're smart, but you only know this one sentence."

  Ding Yizhi couldn't hold back his laughter and walked away. This made Lei Dapeng feel very uncomfortable, he glared around but couldn't find a way to vent his anger, so he stared at Si Muxian instead. However, Si Muxian knew Lei's temper and liked to take out his frustrations on soft targets. Afraid of being implicated, he suddenly blurted out with a thumbs up: "Lei brother, you're really awesome... we also had an absolute victory in the dormitory, Wu Dalang flew over the Luoyang Bridge, what was the next line?"

  "Du Shi Niang's anger sank into the Eight Treasures Porridge." Lei Da Peng blurted out, and was led to the ditch by his younger brother.

  Liu Cuicui was amused and burst out laughing. The two of them, one in front of the other, laughed as they ran out of the teaching office. Behind them, Lei Dapeng was still shouting:

  "Hey, this isn't right, Egg Brother is the one who... you guys stop teasing me."

  ……………………

  ……………………

  Every time Lei Dapeng has something to do, he always makes people cry and laugh, this time is no exception. But how can we deal with it so that Wang Huating and Ding Yizhi have nothing to worry about? The good mood of going home for the holiday was also ruined. Lei Dapeng probably knew he messed up too, and quietly returned to the kitchen, rinsing rice, starting a fire, washing vegetables, and cooking for everyone.

  Shan Yong has not returned yet, Si Mu Xian, Liu Cui Yun, Wang Hua Ting and Ding Yi Zhi are discussing on the upper floor when they unintentionally see this scene and feel unbearable. Lei Da Peng may have joked a bit, but these days he has been working hard to cook for everyone in different ways, which is not fake at all. He is both a teacher and a chef, although his contributions are not obvious, his hard work is evident to everyone.

  Everyone silently entered the kitchen to help Leida Peng, but Leida Peng was also sulking and in a bad mood. Just as the meal was almost ready, Shanyong returned, sat down at the table without saying a word, and Leida Peng served the food with a scowl. He walked up to Shanyong and said, "Boss, I...I don't have to be a teacher anymore, do I? We came together, don't drive me away alone."

  Shan Yong glared, as if he still had a belly full of anger that hadn't been vented, but seeing Lei Da Peng's sincere foolish expression, he was originally prepared to scold him seriously for two sentences. However, this time Lei Da Peng didn't pretend and hurriedly confessed: "Don't make me recite poetry, I really can't do it."

  Everyone burst out laughing at his words, and Shanyong cried and laughed helplessly, waving his hand: "Forget it, I won't talk to you about it. They all said not to let you substitute teach, but you insisted on going... It's nothing, Uncle Shan just lost face in front of the town education committee, which is a bit infuriating. Let's eat, eat, and after eating, everyone will go their separate ways."

  "Alright, everyone wait, I'll get my dad to come pick us up." Lei Dapeng was delighted and took the initiative to take on the logistical task.

  When they sat down to eat lunch, Shanyong casually mentioned the incident. It turned out that when the teachers were reviewing the papers, one of them discovered the joke and passed it on to the Education Committee, which then shared it as a joke during a meeting. Fortunately, the 8th and 9th grades had made significant progress, so Shanlonggen couldn't say much, only saying that he wouldn't let Leidapeng teach again. He didn't mention anything else, after all, everyone had worked hard for a long time. This seemed to put Wang Huating and the class monitor at ease, but looking back on the process was still unsettling. During lunch, they couldn't help but glance at Leidapeng from time to time. Leidapeng wasn't stupid, and he knew that with Shanyong speaking up, nothing would come of it. These days, Shanyong had become the de facto leader of the group, and with him taking charge, they were all reassured.

  Everyone's face relaxed, Lei Dapeng was honest for a few minutes, and he came up with a flattering tone to ask Dan Yong: "Egg brother, we each go back to our own homes... where are you going?"

  "I'm going to the donkey farm tomorrow. Old Shi's youngest son is opening the lock, and I'll go congratulate him. You guys can take a few days off to rest at home." said Shan Yong casually.

  Kai Suo is the local coming-of-age ceremony for thirteen-year-olds, even more lively than the full moon festival. Others didn't think much of it, but Lei Da Peng took it to heart, his eyes lit up, and he leaned in: "Can I go too?"

  "I just sent a gift, what did you go for?"

  "Can't I just give you some money as a gift? It'll save you from spending unnecessarily."

  "You don't even know Shi Jia people."

  "After going once, it's unfamiliar."

  "What's the point of being so far away?"

  "It's nothing, I'll pay for the taxi, won't you save some trouble?"

  Lai Da Peng dispelled all the questions with a few words, but this only made Shan Yong more unconvinced. He said angrily: "It's inconvenient for me to take you along, isn't it?"

  This move is ruthless, directly meaning that he doesn't want to bring you along at all. However, he underestimated Lei Dapeng's endurance. Lei Ge smiled and clapped his hands, saying: "That's even better, bringing a few more would be more convenient, let's take all of us."

  Lai got straight to the point, pointing at Si Mu Xian and Wang Hua Ting, who were on the verge of bursting into laughter. After a while, Shan Yong was so angry that he raised a white flag and begged Lei Da Peng: "Second Lei, I'm not going anymore, can I go home and sleep? Can you let me have some peace and quiet? I'm really afraid of you now."

  "Hmph, I knew it early on that you didn't want to bring me along. You don't have the demeanor of an older brother at all. It's just a small matter, yet you're still holding it against me, so petty."

  Lei Dapeng rolled his eyes, holding the bowl, and walked out with a sulky expression. Those onlookers couldn't help but steal glances at Shan Yong's awkward expression, trying to stifle their laughter. It seemed that Lei Ge wasn't stupid enough not to understand, but rather wanted to prove Shan Yong's petty-mindedness with his own simplicity and kindness. Being a good brother to him was indeed not easy...

  Accidentally went up to Sanjiang, add one more to celebrate... brothers, sorry to trouble you to take some time to vote for Sanjiang, every day there is a free ticket, although it's a bit of a hassle, need to enter verification code and write a 10-word review, but everyone just copy and paste "I top I top I top I work hard to top", see?
