Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Shen Mianmian Becomes Cute. Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Shen Mianmian Becomes Cute. The principal’s eyelids twitched in speechless disbelief. Not even he would indulge in buying a military coat like the one Shen Mianmian was wearing, and she needed financial aid?

He laughed awkwardly and explained, “The students on the list all come from families without any labor capacity, or they are orphans living with grandparents, or have physical disabilities.”

“Shen Mianmian is an only daughter. Her parents are in good health. She doesn’t qualify as a family in poverty.”

Any family on the list was several times worse off than the Shen Family.

He Nan’s brow furrowed slightly as he closed the list and handed it back without expression. The principal’s heart skipped a beat, fearing that He Nan might withdraw his support over this matter, and hastily added.

“Then I’ll replace the last name with Shen Mianmian.”

“No need,” He Nan said in a deep voice, “Include all fifty names, and add Shen Mianmian’s name to the list as well.”

“…”

The principal was completely stunned by He Nan’s words and just stood there.

This… This suddenly added eleven more students?

In an instant, he felt Shen Mianmian became especially endearing.

He even thought to himself that since the two major city businessmen were showing such concern for Shen Mianmian, no matter what, he couldn’t let her drop out. She only had the second half of her senior year left; she had to finish it no matter what.

He had to talk to Li Qiumei later on; they couldn’t keep targeting Shen Mianmian.

Li Yue: “…”

Sponsoring eleven additional students was no big deal for them; they had the capital.

But this behavior was very unlike He Nan!

With the principal in a good mood, he proposed toast after toast to the two men. By the end of the meal, he was staggering drunk but didn’t forget to pay the bill.

When he reached the cashier, he heard the cashier point to Li Yue and say, “The bill for your table has already been settled by this gentleman.”

The principal was taken aback and thought to himself that these big city bosses really did things in a grand way.

…

Wang Jingjing and her group were completely unaware of what had happened afterward. They all thought Shen Mianmian had been called to have a parent-teacher meeting and would be expelled, feeling both nervous and, more so, pleased.

Getting into a fight with Du Xiaohui, the principal’s nephew, wasn’t that courting death?

Now, finally, they wouldn’t have to face that annoying Shen Mianmian anymore.

By noon, once the parents arrived, Shen Mianmian would no longer be a part of the afternoon class.

That’s what you get for hanging out with Lu Siyuan.

Wang Jingjing was in a great mood, looking down on Shen Mianmian as if through her nostrils.

She was just waiting to enjoy the show.

Zhou Siyu didn’t leave the classroom when the class ended; she was completely unaware of the fight. First, Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan were absent from the classroom, then Wang Jingjing and her group were called out.

After that, everyone returned, both Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan wounded, clearly the result of a fight. Now the only person who could answer her questions was Zhao Xinlan.

The two hadn’t spoken for days after a quarrel.

Zhou Siyu, itching like a cat scratch, couldn’t wait until after class to ask Wang Jingjing, so she took the initiative to speak to Zhao Xinlan.

Zhao Xinlan, who had wanted to make up but was too proud to do so, gladly took the opportunity.

She buried her head on the desk and whispered, “Let me tell you, your sister might not even have a chance to take the final exams. Teacher Sun will go get your aunt soon. The principal is going to expel Shen Mianmian.”

“Did she fight with Lu Siyuan?” Seeing both were injured, Zhou Siyu’s first guess was that Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan had turned on each other.

“No,” Zhao Xinlan shook her head, glanced at Chen Jie on the podium, saw him busy writing on the blackboard, not paying attention to them, and continued in a whisper, “They got into a fight with Du Xiaohui. The principal is so angry, he’s calling in their parents.”
