My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 324 - 31 The Importance of Culture_2

"Your name?" 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 me?" 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 time they came to test the waters, because that woman named Chen Lijuan said it’s darkest under the light and there might be unexpected gains."

"Also, I heard a man named 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 mess with someone 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 somewhat surprised to see her son and Zeng Yi walk in, "How did you guys come over?"

Shen Yinian curled his lip, "I came to see Dad, and he insisted on following."

Shen Chi narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed like his son had also inherited Wanwan’s habit of saying one thing but meaning 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 me 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 time being.

"How is it going, is Teacher Zhong still your homeroom 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 punishments, 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 me 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 me a big red envelope for New Year," Shen Yinian boasted.

"But you did let me copy the homework, didn’t you?" Zeng Yi was somewhat 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 homework," Shen Yinian raised his eyebrows at him, "As for the rest, how he filled in the blanks is beyond me, 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 homework.

Although his dad did tell Shen Yinian in front of him not to let him cheat on homework, 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 shame!"

"Of course I have shame," Shen Yinian replied seriously, "The shameless one is you."

Zeng Yi felt extremely 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 shameless.

But he heard Shen Yinian continue, "Homework, exams, I don’t mind letting you copy those. Even if it comes 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 someday, 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 mean 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." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"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.
