Chapter 129 : Cheating?

Fang Xiaoluo looked at Shen Haifeng and smiled, “As for rewards, of course we have to be generous.”

Shen Haifeng was very happy, “I will definitely get this hundred dollars today!”

Zheng Lanhua came out of the house with money in her hand.

She placed the money in Fang Xiaoluo’s hand and said, “Please bring some things for me when you go to Qingshi Town to buy stuff.”

“Mom, what do you want me to bring?” Fang Xiaoluo asked.

Zheng Lanhua replied, “Just buy whatever your parents like to eat. By the way, does your dad drink or smoke? Buy him some wine and a pack of cigarettes. You can buy anything else.”

Fang Xiaoluo asked, “Mom, are you planning to go to my parents’ place tomorrow?”

She stuffed the money back into Zheng Lanhua’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared everything. Didn’t you see the things in the living room? They’re all labeled with your name.”

Zheng Lanhua refused, “You prepared it, and I didn’t spend any money on it.”

“What’s yours and mine between us?” Fang Xiaoluo said, “In short, don’t worry about taking advantage. As the saying goes, what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine. Of course, I have the final say.”

With that, she dragged Shen Haifeng out.

Zheng Lanhua looked at the money in her hand and didn’t give it away.

Fang Xiaoluo and Shen Haifeng quickly arrived at the school gate.

The students running around at the school gate were all there to pick up their test papers. Whether they were top students or not, they were all excited because summer vacation was approaching.

“Go ahead, I’ll wait for you at the door.”

After Shen Haifeng went in, Fang Xiaoluo stayed under a big tree at the entrance, enjoying the cool breeze.

Inside the classroom, Shen Haifeng joined his classmates in playing and chatting.

After not seeing each other for a few days, everyone was talking about summer vacation plans.

Suddenly, the classroom became quiet. It was clear the teacher had arrived.

Everyone quickly returned to their seats.

Ding Xiuying stood at the front with the test papers in her hand. She handed them to the class monitor to pass out.

“Our class did well overall in the exam this time, and some of our students made significant progress. The student who deserves the most praise this time is—”

Ding Xiuying looked at the students and said loudly, “It’s Shen Haifeng.”

“Everyone knows the results of Shen Haifeng’s midterm exam. He worked very hard this semester and scored over 80 points in both subjects. Congratulations to Shen Haifeng.”

As soon as Ding Xiuying finished speaking, the entire class applauded Shen Haifeng.

Shen Haifeng was extremely nervous because he hadn’t seen his test paper yet. But when he heard Ding Xiuying say that he scored over 80 points in both subjects, he finally felt relieved.

Yu Feixu winked at him across the aisle.

Everyone around him gave him a thumbs up.

This made Shen Haifeng realize that as long as he worked hard, he could achieve good results.

Of course, all this was thanks to Fang Xiaoluo. If she had given up on him after the midterm exam, how could he have achieved the results he had now?

After receiving his test paper, Shen Haifeng opened it to check.

He scored 89 points in Chinese and 86 points in Mathematics.

Shen Haifeng was extremely happy and couldn’t suppress his smile.

Yu Feixu came over and said, “Oh my god, Shen Haifeng, you’re awesome. You scored so many points!”

Shen Haifeng glanced at Yu Feixu’s paper and said, “Haha, Yu Feixu, you didn’t score as high as I did.”

Yu Feixu sighed, “My dad said this morning that if I don’t get 95 points on the test, he’ll splash cold water on me.”

Shen Haifeng said, “Then I see you are not in a hurry at all.”

Yu Feixu smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’ve thought about it. I’ll go to my aunt’s house to hide for the next two days.”

“Your aunt?” Shen Haifeng asked.

Yu Feixu was very proud, “It’s your house.”

Shen Haifeng snorted, “I’m afraid you can only hide for one night. We are going to Honghe Village tomorrow.”

“Ah?” Yu Feixu was dumbfounded. “What should we do? Why don’t you go to Honghe Village and take Xiaopang and me with you?”

Shen Haifeng: …

Yu Feixu continued, “Don’t worry, we will pay for the food and just give us a place to stay.”

Shen Haifeng was seriously wondering whether his grandma’s house had such a big place.

Ding Xiuying saw that all the test papers had been distributed and stood in front, saying, “Take the test papers home and look at them. We will discuss them after school starts. The summer homework is…”

Everyone carefully recorded their math summer homework.

Ding Xiuying continued, “Teacher Zhou will come over after he finishes assigning summer homework to Class 1.”

As she was speaking, Zhou Yueshan strode in with a gloomy face.

Ding Xiuying gave the place to Zhou Yueshan and prepared to leave.

Zhou Yueshan called to Ding Xiuying, “Teacher Ding, please stay for a moment. I have something very important to tell you.”

Ding Xiuying was confused, “Teacher Zhou, aren’t you here to assign summer homework?”

“Of course, we have to assign homework, but there are more important things.” Zhou Yueshan waved the report card in his hand. “Everyone in our class did well in Chinese this time, including Shen Haifeng, who ranked last last time.”

Shen Haifeng raised his head and met Zhou Yueshan’s gloomy eyes.

“Shen Haifeng, stand up.”

Shen Haifeng stood up, and the whole class looked at him.

Zhou Yueshan continued, “If I remember correctly, you scored 26 points on the Chinese test last time. You couldn’t even spell pinyin correctly. In less than two months, you scored 89 points. Do you expect me to believe that?”

Shen Haifeng looked at Zhou Yueshan, “Teacher Zhou, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

Zhou Yueshan said, “Shen Haifeng, you shouldn’t lie at such a young age. Tell me, did you cheat on your test?”

Shen Haifeng’s head buzzed, and his eyes began to sting with tears.

He was only eight years old and didn’t know how to handle this situation.

What’s more, it was obvious that Zhou Yueshan was deliberately trying to make things difficult.

In Zhou Yueshan’s eyes, Shen Zheng’s previous warning had stopped him from causing trouble for Shen Haifeng before, but this time was different. He firmly didn’t believe that Shen Haifeng could improve so drastically in such a short time.

This wasn’t about causing trouble for Shen Haifeng. Even if Shen Zheng came, so what? His son had cheated, and it wouldn’t matter who showed up.

Zhou Yueshan just wanted to see Shen Haifeng repeat the grade, to prove to Shen Zheng who had the final say!

Shen Haifeng’s throat felt dry, and he tried hard not to cry, “I didn’t, I did it myself. I didn’t copy it!”

Ding Xiuying couldn’t bear it anymore. “Teacher Zhou, you need to provide evidence when you speak. Shen Haifeng has been working very hard recently.”

Zhou Yueshan said, “Teacher Ding, he only scored 23 points in math in the midterm exam, right? Do you believe he can score 86 this time?”

Ding Xiuying didn’t hesitate and replied directly, “I believe it.”

When Shen Haifeng heard Ding Xiuying’s voice, he was so moved that tears immediately fell from his eyes.

He quickly wiped them away and said stubbornly, “Teacher Zhou, I didn’t copy or cheat.”
