Chapter 378: Chapter 378 Shu Jiao Almost Drowns (5)_1 Chapter 378: Chapter 378 Shu Jiao Almost Drowns (5)_1 Fortunately, when these test papers were printed, three extra copies were made in case of an accident, and now they come in handy.

“Parent, let’s not say more. If this student can pass this test paper, we will let him attend the first grade. Is that okay?” The principal was also a picture of distress. Dealing with parents who you can’t reason with was truly unbearable.

“I can’t do it.” Xiu Cheng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, hiding behind Liu Mei.

Liu Mei’s face stiffened, as she turned around and pointed at Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi: “What’s the big deal, are you just picking on us, mother and son? Did they do it?”

“They did, Ruan got ninety-nine points, Xiu got a hundred points.”

“What, you’re bluffing! That bastard got a hundred points? Do you think I’m an idiot?” Liu Mei knew Xiu Xi all too well—a kid without a mom getting a hundred points? As if she would fall for that!

“Parent, you’re being quite unreasonable. In front of all these people, how could I possibly tell such a lie?” The principal was also getting displeased, and his expression grew stern.

Liu Mei was the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Seeing the principal’s face turn sour, she began to feel anxious inside. After all, her son would be spending the next six years at this school, and she truly feared he would be given a hard time.

But—

Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi both in the first grade, she really couldn’t bear the thought of her son being relegated to kindergarten.

Let’s not even talk about the money, the fact that her son was shorter than Xiu Xi by a whole head was something she could not accept!

Her eyes darted around, and she knew her son’s level well. A kid who couldn’t even count to a hundred certainly couldn’t complete that test. After thinking it over, she made a compromise and said to the principal: “Then how about this, let my son stay in the first grade for a while? If he does well in the midterm exams, let him continue. If not, it won’t be too late to send him to kindergarten.”

However, when Liu Mei said this, her mind was already made up that Xiu Cheng was going to attend the first grade no matter what.

The principal looked troubled and was about to say something when Liu Mei suddenly sat down on the floor and started wailing.

“Oh Lord, open your eyes, why are people so heartless these days, preying on us orphans and widows. Isn’t there any justice left in the world? This won’t do, that won’t do, are you trying to drive me to death?”

As she spoke, she pretended to dash her head against the wall.

The principal, a cultured man, had never seen anything like this and went pale with fright. With the help of a few teachers, they held her back, and he reluctantly nodded.

Seeing the principal nod, Liu Mei immediately changed her demeanor, leapt up from the floor, and ran into the first-grade classroom. She squeezed Xiu Cheng’s desk and chair behind the teacher’s desk, pushing the original desk to the back.

After doing all this, she looked up at the class teacher at the door: “Teacher, my son is short and not in good health. Please take care of him and let him sit at the very front, okay?”

Without waiting for the class teacher to respond, she turned to Xiu Cheng: “Son, from now on, you’ll sit here. You have to study hard!”

Xiu Cheng didn’t speak, his expression somewhat blank, as if all of this had nothing to do with him. Apart from saying he couldn’t do it at the beginning, he remained silent afterward, just clinging tightly to Liu Mei.
