Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 120: Teachers Are Just Different

"Oh, actually, even if your family has no means, you can still find someone in the team to help, or when you’re outside, you can act righteously. That’s how Yi Roujing from our Dingping Production Team got the opportunity to work in the city." Song Yiluo, who had walked some distance away, saw Yi Roujing and Xia Xingchen ahead, stopped, turned around, and spoke to Guo Qianwen’s group.

"Comrade Yi Roujing is a righteous and helpful comrade, so I suppose she’ll certainly answer your inquiries and questions very well."

Yi Roujing felt a bit helpless, thinking that even though Song Yiluo was about to return to the capital, he still couldn’t resist picking on her. But she wasn’t a pushover either. "Compared to some people who deceive those with pure hearts, I am indeed someone who acts righteously and helps others. Just the other day I was in the bamboo forest beating off vicious dogs."

"I wonder what some people are after. Is it that the mushrooms on the mountain are bigger, or are they more expensive? Some people gain huge benefits from those with pure hearts and then turn around to use it against them. Truly, teachers are different; they have nimble minds."

Song Yiluo’s expression slowly changed at Yi Roujing’s words, but she believed Ding Xingye wouldn’t reveal anything about her, and those who came had nothing to do with her. However, how did Yi Roujing know, and how much did she know?

Yi Roujing took a few steps forward, smiling. "Song, in the future when you return to the city, who knows if we’ll ever meet again. Here, let me congratulate you first, wishing you great success and wealth in every step."

Yi Roujing stood in front of Song Yiluo, half a head taller than her, with an expression of superiority, fully overwhelming Song Yiluo. Finally, she leaned closer to Song Yiluo’s ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Aren’t you a bit curious how I knew?"

"I saw with my own eyes Ding Xingye taking you to harvest Lingzhi mushrooms. He fondly called you Yiluo. I didn’t expect your relationship to be that good, that such precious herbs weren’t taken home by Ding Xingye but given entirely to you, sent to Jing City."

"Isn’t it thanks to those Lingzhi mushrooms that you can return to the city this time? You really should thank people properly, shouldn’t you? Don’t take your body for granted, and you certainly shouldn’t repay kindness with ingratitude."

"Why involve innocent people in your scheming with Wen Chaokuan and Li Xipei? You and Li Xipei like Ding Ancheng so much, finding ways to trouble me?"

"What do you call people like you? Sluts? Bitches?" Yi Roujing softly but chillingly whispered, making Song Yiluo’s face turn completely white, looking at Yi Roujing in disbelief.

"Song, may your future be bright." Yi Roujing left Song Yiluo, loudly congratulating, then returned with Ding Anmin and Xia Xingchen.

"What did you say to Song Yiluo? Her face looked like she’d seen a ghost." Ding Anmin was a bit curious.

"I just told her some truths she didn’t want to hear." Yi Roujing was in high spirits. Allowing Ding Ancheng to get close to her, she’d already made up her mind. Who cares who the protagonist of the book is or who is officially paired with whom? Since Yi Roujing came, she, as the legitimate wife, needed to stand firm.

Song Yiluo’s return to the city documents were still a topic of conversation in the team, and on Monday, Xia Xingchen’s return to the city documents also arrived. Ding Xiaoding was calm after the initial surprise, not expecting that the educated youths from Dingping Production Team weren’t ordinary, able to secure returning to the city slots by themselves, all directly sent from the city.

The educated youth place was once again in uproar upon learning that Xia Xingchen was also going to return to the city. Although Xia Xingchen was mentally prepared, actually receiving the documents still felt unexpected and complicated, because Ding Ancheng and Yi Roujing had said it was all thanks to Gu Shizhao’s efforts that the documents were retrieved.

However, with Song Yiluo’s situation fresh in mind, the youths, although itching to know, held back. Finally, Ding Xiaoding personally clarified that the documents for Xia Xingchen’s return were not submitted by him.

When the educated youths learned that Xia Xingchen was going to Huaixi County, they were a bit surprised, because Xia Xingchen was from Jing City, and if she went to Huaixi County this time, who knows if she could ever return to Jing City later.

That afternoon, the real slots for returning to the city submitted by Ding Xiaoding were finally issued, and it was Dong Weiyong. The educated youths were somewhat surprised but also found it within expectations.

However, Dong Weiyong was suddenly ostracized at the educated youth place, with many thinking that Dong Weiyong knew about this matter in advance, which is why Song Yiluo remained indifferent when receiving the return to the city documents.

But Tong Dongxue stood up for Dong Weiyong. Tong Dongxue had never been involved from start to end, and no one asked her as she usually stayed close to Song Yiluo. When Song Yiluo was set to return to the city, she simply gave her blessings without currying favor or defaming anyone.

"If Dong really knew beforehand, then when Yiluo received the return to the city documents, Dong should have been the most anxious one, right? It was said that a slot promised to him was given to someone else; one would think a person couldn’t help but be anxious."

"But Dong didn’t go looking for the team leader once, didn’t argue with Yiluo, nor did he stir others to rebel. He continued working diligently."

"Think for yourselves, Dong is the oldest among us at the educated youth place, and he always does the hardest work. Whenever anyone feels unwell, Dong always lends a hand. Even when Dong’s wife visits with their child, they bring us good food."

"One must have a conscience. The team leader has said that the slot he nominated was for the most diligent worker among the educated youths. Who do you think is more deserving than Dong to take on this title?"

Tong Dongxue’s straightforward nature and emphasis on each point left no room for rebuttal, and many felt guilty, blushing and looking down.

Afterwards, many apologized to Dong Weiyong, who magnanimously forgave them. The atmosphere at the educated youth place changed for the better due to Tong Dongxue’s fair stand, leading to renewed cohesion among the educated youths.

But none of this concerned Yi Roujing. On Monday, she and Ding Ancheng went into the county, where, under Zhao Hanjuan’s guidance, they completed all the property transfer procedures at the subdistrict office.

The property was reclaimed, and with Zhao Hanjuan acting as a bridge, the transaction was finally completed at a price of 3,300 yuan.

Although the savings book had less money, there was now a large property. Yi Roujing hummed a song while on the way to the photo studio with Ding Ancheng.

Today, besides the property purchase, there was also the matter of the County First Middle School graduation exam in June. Ding Ancheng, being a teacher at County First Middle School, mentioned this to the school’s leadership, who naturally agreed. So today, the necessary materials for participating in the graduation exam needed to be submitted.

The junior high school diploma had already been submitted by Ding Ancheng when he discussed this matter with the school leadership, but an exam application form and a photo were still needed, so Ding Ancheng took Yi Roujing for a photo shoot. And when Yi Roujing went to work at the food factory staff hospital, she would certainly need to provide a photo as well.
