Chapter 2: The Ninth Generation Male Heir

  Lin Feng flipped over and got out of bed, sticking his ear against the door.

  "Mr. Lei, please sit down and have a cup of tea." Lin Jingye's expression was somewhat uneasy, he knew his son's situation, and the class teacher coming to their home might not be a good thing.

  "Hmph! I won't drink tea anymore. Today, I came to talk to you about Lin Feng," Lei Laohu sat down on the sofa with a thud, his face darkening. "Lin Feng is not only unwilling to study in school and dragging the whole class down, but now he's becoming more and more outrageous, starting fights over girls like Zeng Feng."

  "Really?" Lin Jingye adjusted his glasses and looked at Lei Laohu with a skeptical gaze, "Lin Feng may not love studying, but he shouldn't be fighting, should he?"

  "Why don't you ask your son and you'll know? Anyway, the good son you've raised can't be taught by me. Tomorrow, have his parents come to school and withdraw him!"

  "Teacher Lei, there must be some misunderstanding about this matter. I'd rather hope that Lin Feng would be jealous and competitive, but the problem is that he's not even paying attention, let alone competing with others." Lin Feng's mother, Yang Huiru, smiled apologetically and said, "Lin Feng is at home right now, why don't I call him out to clarify things in person?"

  "It's fine." In Lei Hu's heart, Lin Feng was basically hopeless. He couldn't wait to get rid of him from the classroom. Standing up, he glanced around and said with a sarcastic tone, "I see your family's living conditions aren't that great either, is that TV still black and white? The tuition at Qing Lan Middle School is so expensive, I think you should let Lin Feng drop out and start working to alleviate some of the burden on your family."

  Lei Laohu's tone was full of disdain, and Yang Huiru's face slowly darkened. Although their family was a bit poor, it didn't mean they could be insulted by anyone.

  "We don't really watch TV as a family." Lin Jingye awkwardly explained, tugging on Yang Huiru's sleeve.

  Yang Huiru pushed Lin Jingye away and looked at Lei Lao Hu with a calm expression, saying: "Teacher Lei, we don't steal or rob, what's wrong with living a simple life?"

  "You..."

  Lei Laohu was shocked, as a class teacher, which parent wasn't enthusiastic about him?

  Especially the parents of poor students, seeing him come to their doorstep, are even more servile and flattering, but this Lin Feng's mother actually dares to defy him?

  As a head teacher, if parents don't care about the halo of being a head teacher, then it's no different from an ordinary worker. Lei Lao Hu was furious for the first time when he was forced to eat humble pie by the students' parents, his face turned dark and he coldly said: "I won't talk to you anymore, it's simply unreasonable. Lin Feng doesn't need to go to school again, you can go to the school tomorrow to handle the procedures."

  "Teacher Lei, are you trying to persuade Lin Feng to retire or expel him? If it's the former, please leave, we won't agree!"

  "I fire him!"

  "Are you expelling him? Not to mention whether you have the right to represent the school to expel him, even if you do, you must give sufficient reasons!" Lei Lao Hu, who was only 1.6 meters tall, looked up at Yang Hui Ru, who was slightly taller than him, as she took off her apron and walked in front of him, looking down on him. "We haven't been stingy with visiting your home during holidays, have we? If you dare to expel Lin Feng, I'll report you to the Education Bureau for accepting red envelopes from students' parents."

  "Oh no!"

  It's not pleasant to be looked down upon by a woman, Lei Laohu took a few steps back, he was so angry that his whole body was trembling, pointing at Yang Huiru and nodding repeatedly. After a long time, he finally breathed smoothly and said: "Okay, okay, I'll give Lin Feng another chance. The day after tomorrow is the math test, if he doesn't pass, don't blame me!"

  Lei Hu said and turned around to leave, walked to the door, seemed to think of something, turned around and said: "When the time comes, you can go to the Education Bureau to accuse me, I won't admit it."

  Lin Feng knew that after such an incident, the usual ideological and political class was inevitable, and this time it also involved fighting for girls, so he estimated that there would be extra classes.

  But what Lin Feng didn't expect was that his parents hadn't come to find him, and after Lei Lao Hu left, the living room fell into a long silence.

  "Ah!" Lin Jingye sighed, pulled out a cigarette and lit it, taking a deep drag.

  "What's the use of sighing?" Yang Huiru smiled, but her tone was tinged with a hint of bitterness that couldn't be concealed. "Regardless of whether Teacher Lei is telling the truth or not, this isn't a bad thing. If Teacher Lei is lying, it proves Xiao Feng is innocent. If it's true, then it proves Xiao Feng has grown up."

  Lin Jingye fell silent for a moment before speaking up, "Huiru, have we been wrong all along?"

  "Isn't it in the book that there is a house of gold and a beauty like jade?"

  Lin Jingye shook his head and said, "I went through great difficulties to get Xiao Feng into Qinglan Middle School, hoping that he could receive a better education in school, rely on reading books to make a name for himself. However, looking at Teacher Lei's attitude, I'm sure he hasn't been easy on Xiao Feng in school. A school like this isn't worth attending! But if Xiao Feng doesn't pass the math exam and gets expelled, we'll still have to transfer him to another school. We don't want to put any more pressure on him, but no matter what, we must let him graduate from college, otherwise he might face discrimination in society later."

  Yang Huiru's eyes were slightly moist as she smiled and said, "It's good that you've come to your senses. The child isn't cut out for it, and forcing him will only make him suffer."

  After making the decision, Lin Jingye's heart also felt much lighter. He took a puff of smoke and said, "Yes, Xiaofeng is not doing well in terms of grades, but other aspects are still okay..."

  Lin Feng no longer had the mood to watch, and after hearing that there was no movement in the living room, he quietly went out.

  In junior high school, Lin Feng's grades were in the middle to upper range, and such grades would not be a problem for entering any ordinary high school, but they were far from enough to enter Qinglan High School.

  Qinglan Middle School has consistently ranked among the top three in the city in terms of teacher strength, hardware and software facilities, as well as promotion rates. Two years ago, it even produced a provincial high school exam champion.

  To ensure the promotion rate, Qinglan Middle School sets a relatively high score line when recruiting new first-year students. Those who do not meet the admission score line must pay 1,000 yuan per point of difference between their middle school entrance examination scores and the school's admission score line as a selection fee to enter Qinglan Middle School.

  Lin Feng was initially 30 points short, and the tuition fee for choosing a school was over 300,000 yuan. Although he repeatedly insisted that he did not want to go to Qinglan Middle School, Lin Jingye still went into debt to send him there.

  It can be imagined how much expectation Lin Jingye had for Lin Feng?

  At the beginning of school, Lin Feng also wanted to study hard, but on the first day of school, Lin Feng just made a small move and was ridiculed by Lei Lao Hu without mercy. In an instant, Lin Feng's beautiful fantasy turned into a bubble. At 16 years old, he was at the age of rebellion, and after his self-esteem was greatly hurt, Lin Feng chose an extreme path and embarked on a road of self-destruction.

  Lin Feng shook his head, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. If he had chosen to endure humiliation and work hard back then, today would probably be a completely different story.
