Chapter 324: Chapter 31 The Importance of Culture_2
“Your na?” Jiang Tao’s gaze toward her had changed even more. She might not be especially smart for thinking of these things, but being able to remain calm and think in such a situation was indeed rare.
“Li Lingling.”
“So, Li Lingling, did they say anything else you can tell ?” Jiang Tao coaxed gently.
Li Lingling pondered and said, “They said they fed us drugs so we wouldn’t get pregnant after servicing clients, because the clients are all people with strong backgrounds, and having children could cause trouble.”
“Also, I saw them use bulky cell phones to make calls, and the content…” Li Lingling bit her lip and said, “It seems they have other accomplices, but not in the Capital.”
“From what they said, the Capital is probably their first stop. This ti they ca to test the waters, because that woman nad Chen Lijuan said it’s darkest under the light and there might be unexpected gains.”
“Also, I heard a man nad Yang say on the phone, ‘It’s always tough to get goods from Shanghai, especially since you have to be careful and keep your eyes peeled, or if you ss with soone you shouldn’t, you could get wiped out in one swoop.”
…
Li Lingling said a lot, useful and not, and the listeners—Jiang Tao, Wu Chengguang, and a group of detectives—all grew increasingly grim.
At the hospital, Lin Xiaoguai was sowhat surprised to see her son and Zeng Yi walk in, “How did you guys co over?”
Shen Yinian curled his lip, “I ca to see Dad, and he insisted on following.”
Shen Chi narrowed his eyes slightly. It seed like his son had also inherited Wanwan’s habit of saying one thing but aning another?
Even though it looked like he was in a good mood.
“Hello, Uncle and Auntie.” Zeng Yi greeted politely and then eagerly pulled out a cloth bag he brought, digging out a couple of wrapped items from inside and putting them on the bedside table.
“What’s this?” Shen Yinian asked.
“Peach crisps and sauce chicken legs.” Zeng Yi said proudly, “My grandma made them, she only makes them for when I’m sick, and whenever I eat them, I get better right away. I’m sure after you eat them, Uncle, you’ll be able to leave the hospital very quickly.”
There was no scientific basis whatsoever.
Shen Chi initially wanted to scold him for being an idiot, but seeing his silly appearance, he decided to let it go for the ti being.
“How is it going, is Teacher Zhong still your horoom teacher?” Lin Xiaoguai said thank you as she patted Zeng Yi’s head and asked him.
“Nope.” Zeng Yi looked dejected, “Teacher Zhong has always taught first and second grade, we get Teacher Ma for third grade. I heard from the older students that Teacher Ma is very strict, often assigns writing punishnts, and likes to call on the poor students during class. What am I going to do?”
“Just do better on the tests, and you’ll be fine,” said Shen Yinian, an honor student who couldn’t understand Zeng Yi’s troubles at all.
Zeng Yi gave him a glare, “Then why didn’t you let copy from you during the last test, Shen Yinian?”
“Who would let you copy? Uncle Zeng said if I made sure you didn’t cheat, he would give a big red envelope for New Year,” Shen Yinian boasted.
“But you did let copy the howork, didn’t you?” Zeng Yi was sowhat perplexed.
“So, I told Uncle Zeng.” Shen Yinian said with a narrow-eyed smile.
Zeng Yi was stunned, then bewildered, “How did you tell him?”
“Of course, I said you copied my howork,” Shen Yinian raised his eyebrows at him, “As for the rest, how he filled in the blanks is beyond , but he wouldn’t think I was the one who allowed it.”
“Shen Yinian, how could you do this?” Zeng Yi said, a little angrily.
No wonder he’d been mysteriously punished twice recently, he was wondering how his dad had found out about his cheating on howork.
Although his dad did tell Shen Yinian in front of him not to let him cheat on howork, since Shen Yinian looked quite willing to let him copy …
You’re just too naive, kiddo!
“To think I treated you like a brother.” Zeng Yi said, resentful.
“That’s exactly why I did it,” Shen Yinian retorted.
Zeng Yi was left speechless by his righteous words, his eyes widening as he blurted, “Shen Yinian, do you have no sha!”
“Of course I have sha,” Shen Yinian replied seriously, “The shaless one is you.”
Zeng Yi felt extrely wronged; he wasn’t particularly angry to begin with and thought that if Shen Yinian just apologized, he would forgive him. But Shen Yinian not only didn’t apologize, he also turned it around and accused him of being shaless.
But he heard Shen Yinian continue, “Howork, exams, I don’t mind letting you copy those. Even if it cos to middle school, high school, university, or even the middle school and college entrance exams, I could give you the answers. But what about afterward, when you start working, who’s going to ‘copy’ work for you?”
“If you don’t study seriously at school and get an empty diploma, knowing nothing, do you expect your dad to support you for the rest of your life?”
While many had said similar things, hearing them from a peer made Zeng Yi especially mortified and angry.
“Who says? I’m going to be a soldier like my dad soday, and soldiers don’t need education. My dad barely recognizes all the characters, but isn’t he still a battalion commander?”
So the root of the dislike for studying lies here?
“Battalion commander?” Shen Yinian raised an eyebrow, “Just a battalion commander?”
“What do you an by that?” Zeng Yi retorted angrily, “My dad is very capable, even the higher-ups say he has strong combat ability, hitting targets with precision in artillery fire.”
“But my dad is already a division commander,” Shen Yinian lifted his chin, “My dad is younger than yours, but he finished middle school and later went to a military academy for two years.”
“Are you implying that my dad has only ever been a battalion commander because he has no education?” Zeng Yi was deeply shaken.
Wasn’t it said that it didn’t matter even if you barely knew the characters? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it at Qidian (qidian) with a recomndation ticket or a monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
