After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

Just as Chunsheng and Li Yufeng were talking, Hongqin also walked over with her schoolbag on her back.

In fact, Hongqin had been waiting nearby for a long time, but seeing the two talking, she couldn't get closer.

She only approached him step by step when she saw Chunsheng take the "Machinery and Equipment Operation Manual" out of his schoolbag and tell the homeroom teacher that he wanted to ask for leave.

Li Yufeng glanced at Hongqin and smiled, "Have you been waiting impatiently?"

Hongqin quickly shook her head, "No, no, I just saw you talking to Chunsheng about his translations, so I came over to join in the fun."

Li Yufeng nodded and said, "You know about this thing that Chunsheng translated?"

Hongqin hummed in agreement. "Actually, I only found out after class just now. I was instantly shocked when I found out. I never expected Chunsheng to have translated such a thick English instruction manual. He's amazing!"

Chunsheng quickly waved his hand, "Don't praise me, I'll get arrogant!"

Hongqin rolled her eyes at him. "Come on! If you were going to be proud, you would have been already. Do you need my praise?"

Watching the two students bickering, Li Yufeng couldn't help but laugh, "To be honest, I've never seen Chunsheng ever arrogant! Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a little arrogant occasionally!"

Chunsheng shook his head and laughed, "I'm nothing special at all, I really don't think there's anything to be proud of!"

Seeing that Chunsheng looked very serious as he spoke, Hongqin said to Li Yufeng, "Teacher, don't you think he's infuriating!"

Li Yufeng smiled without saying anything, then she said to Chunsheng, "Then you can stay home and work on your translation these afternoons, and come to school tomorrow or the day after tomorrow morning."

"If you encounter any translation problems that you can't solve in the next couple of days, feel free to ask me for help!"

Upon hearing that his leave request had been approved, Chunsheng let out a long sigh and then bowed deeply to Li Yufeng, saying, "Thank you for your support, teacher!"

Li Yufeng laughed and said, "Alright, you two should go home and eat!"

After Chunsheng and Hongqin turned and left, Du Xiao'e, the homeroom teacher of Class 3, Grade 1, walked up to Liu Yufeng, watched their departing figures, and said:

Have you noticed that Song Chunsheng in your class seems to have changed?

Li Yufeng asked curiously, "Really? How is it different?"

Du Xiao'e thought for a moment and said, "I remember that child used to be quite quiet, but now he's not only talkative, he was even joking with you just now!"

Li Yufeng smiled thoughtfully and murmured, "That seems to be the case!"

In fact, she had noticed the change in Chunsheng's personality a week ago.

I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a natural change for a boy going through puberty.

But today, when Du Xiao'e told her about this, Liu Yufeng felt even more that Chunsheng had changed a lot!

On the way home, Hongqin kept asking Chunsheng what Hou Cuicui had talked about with his mother and sister when she visited his home.

If someone else had asked, Chunsheng would definitely have kept quiet.

But if he dared not answer Song Hongqin, she would really pinch him hard.

So he had no choice but to repeat what he had just told Li Yufeng.

After hearing this, Hongqin burst into laughter so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

Just as Chunsheng stood to the side, looking helplessly at Song Hongqin who was laughing hysterically.

Looking up, they saw Song Guangliang running towards them from a distance.

As soon as he arrived, he immediately asked Chunsheng, "Do you know who spread the word about Hou Cuicui visiting your house?"

Upon hearing this, Chunsheng and Hongqin both stared wide-eyed at Song Guangliang.

Hongqin immediately perked up her ears.

Chunsheng shook his head and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Song Guangliang said mysteriously, "Naturally, it's that bourgeois lady herself!"

Chunsheng sighed, looking helpless, "Why did she tell her classmates about that? What good would it do her?"

Hongqin immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Has that woman gone mad? She doesn't care about her own reputation, and she wants Chunsheng to be dragged down with her!"

Song Guangliang immediately responded, "Who says otherwise! I was shocked too; I never expected her to do something so shameless!"

"However, she was already called to the office by our homeroom teacher for a reprimand during class this morning!"

Hongqin said irritably, "What's the use of criticism? So many people still know, and now people will be gossiping about Chunsheng behind his back!"

Hongqin still clearly remembers that after Chunsheng drowned, on Monday morning during "Daily Reading," the classmates in the class went crazy, spreading the rumor that Chunsheng was the reincarnation of Nezha.

She didn't like that kind of atmosphere to begin with, and she was even more afraid that Chunsheng would be hurt because of it.

That incident happened only a few days ago, and now this other thing has happened.

Hongqin frowned and asked Song Guangliang, "Your homeroom teacher only criticized Hou Cuicui, but didn't say what would happen next?"

Song Guangliang shook his head. "I don't know! They've already been criticized. Will there be any further disciplinary action?"

Hongqin rolled her eyes at Song Guangliang. "It's right to criticize her. If she doesn't get a serious punishment this time, she'll definitely do it again next time, and who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause next!"

Song Guangliang nodded in agreement, saying, "What you said makes sense. Last year, when her younger brother Hou Xinqiang hit that male classmate in the second year of high school, I felt that the matter was handled too leniently, which led to what happened today."

"If this matter is dropped again, who knows what jaw-dropping things might happen next!"

Hongqin said indignantly, "If this scourge isn't eliminated, and the news gets out, it will affect the reputation of our school."

Song Guangliang shook his head. "If the school leaders don't care, what can we do?"

At this moment, Song Guangliang suddenly said, "Tell me, what kind of background does Hou Cuicui have? How come even the school leaders can't do anything about her?"

"Regarding the incident where her brother assaulted someone last year, if it had been any other student, they would have at least received a severe punishment, if not expelled from school."

"But Hou Cuicui and her brother were completely unharmed, as if nothing had ever happened."

After Song Guangliang said this, Hongqin became even angrier.

Although Chunsheng already knew that Hou Guoqiang, the secretary to the director of the Agriculture Bureau, was most likely Hou Cuicui's eldest or second eldest brother.

He just felt that a secretary to the head of a county agricultural bureau shouldn't have that much power to influence the decisions of their school leaders.

It is very likely that Hou Guoqiang, having spent a long time at the county agricultural bureau, got to know other leaders in the county through his own connections, and then established relationships with school leaders through these other people.

Chunsheng smiled somewhat helplessly, feeling that such matters of personal relationships would never disappear in any era.

Fortunately, the person most hurt by Hou Cuicui spreading rumors was not him, but Hou Cuicui herself.

That silly girl still doesn't understand how important a woman's reputation is to her in this era.

Two days ago, Hou Guoqiang had just helped Chunsheng's brother-in-law find someone to solve his work problems, so Chunsheng was even less willing to waste time and energy thinking about Hou Cuicui's matter. He just wanted to quietly and quickly transcribe the translated content from those two manuscripts!
