Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 304 Good Words Are Hard to Persuade a Damn Ghost

There's a limit to making a scene. Do these students intend to storm his little courtyard?

Headmaster Chen has always cared for the younger generation; otherwise, he wouldn't have kept Li Xun and Gu Ziyan in the courtyard today, sparing them from the wrath of the enraged students.

Therefore, he allowed the students to petition in front of his college.

However, even a clay figure has its limits, and at this moment, Chen Shanzhang's temper also flared up.

He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, "This brat is so rude! I'll go and deal with him!"

Just then, a clear female voice rang out again from outside, "Student Li Xun, seeking his cousin Lin Chang'er, in order to find the truth about his brother and his classmate Gu Ziyan's theft and cheating, requests an audience with Headmaster Chen. Please take some time out of your busy schedule to meet with him."

Then came the sound of banging on the door again.

“It’s my cousin Chang’er!” Gu Ziyan said.

Li Xun also recognized it, "Yes, it's my cousin Chang'er's voice."

Chen Zhaoshu stood up abruptly. "Why is Sister Chang'er here?"

She stepped forward and helped Chen Shanzhang up, saying, "Uncle, it's not that your students are rebelling, it's my sister Chang'er who's here to support us!"

Headmaster Chen: "..." What's wrong with this kid? Making up relatives randomly, it's just a little girl, why are they so happy?

Headmaster Chen was somewhat displeased, "That doesn't mean you can dismantle the door!"

Chen Zhao said, "It definitely couldn't be my sister Chang'er who was dismantling the door. My sister Chang'er is such a delicate girl that she would fall over with a gust of wind. How could she possibly dismantle it? It must have been someone else..."

Headmaster Chen gave him a displeased look. "Whether it's true or not, we'll know once we go out and take a look!"

Chen Zhao nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, let's go out and take a look!"

Chen Zhao was overjoyed. His father had been saying he would visit Linshui Village, but it had been several days and there was still no news! He was getting anxious, but Sister Chang'er did come by herself.

Chen Zhao was about to skip out when she remembered something and looked at Li Xun and Gu Ziyan. "Why are you still kneeling? None of those people outside can fight against Sister Chang'er. Go and plead your case!"

They grabbed one in each hand and pulled them up.

Headmaster Chen's face darkened further. What did this mean? Was it implying that he was no longer useful?

"Ahem!" Headmaster Chen coughed twice to indicate that he was still there. What kind of position did he put him in by talking like that?

Chen Zhao was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, are you feeling unwell? Should I ask my father to bring you some loquat syrup?"

Headmaster Chen: "..." Forget it, why bother arguing with a fool?

He wanted to see if the little girl they praised so highly actually had three heads and six arms.

Chen Shanzhang stroked his beard and straightened his clothes before casually walking out with his hands behind his back.

Chen Zhao ran ahead, and as soon as the door opened, the burly man who was banging on it stumbled and almost fell in.

"Uncle!" Chen Zhao shouted, jumping several steps back.

Once they calmed down, they saw Lin Chang'er standing at least ten feet away from the door, with the child she was holding in her hand.

"Sister Chang'er!" Chen Zhao waved to her hurriedly.

Headmaster Chen frowned. "Flirtatious!"

Then he looked at the man who stumbled and jumped into the courtyard, "Who are you?"

He Fei clasped his hands in a fist salute and introduced himself, "He Fei, a city gate guard, is here to protect Miss Lin."

Chen Shanzhang waved his hand, put his hands behind his back and walked out. He immediately saw his good-for-nothing grandnephew wagging his tail at the little girl like a puppy!

His gaze fell on the young girl. She was pretty, well-dressed, and had a graceful posture. She looked like a respectable person.

It's true, for a young girl to show her face in public like this is a bit frivolous...

Chen Shanzhang was still somewhat displeased.

However, glancing at Li Xun and Gu Ziyan following behind her, she stroked her beard. If she could figure this out, it would be a good thing.

Headmaster Chen nodded to himself. Just then, someone shouted, "Headmaster, this woman is causing trouble at the academy, assaulting Yang Cheng, and even trying to imprison the three of us. Please, Headmaster, do justice for the students!"

Headmaster Chen: "..."

Headmaster Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the students outside the campus were indeed divided into two groups. On one side were Yang Cheng, Yang Li, and Hu Guang, separated from the other students by the three men.

For some unknown reason, Yang Cheng had a small shoe stuffed in his mouth and his hands were tied behind his back. At this moment, he could only whimper and scream, his eyes filled with accusation.

The other two are fine.

Headmaster Chen frowned as he looked at Lin Chang'er. "Did you have someone do this?"

Lin Chang'er curtsied and said slowly, "I asked them to do it. Please allow me to explain the reasons in detail!"

Headmaster Chen didn't have a very good impression of Lin Chang'er, but it wasn't that bad either. He just didn't want to see her being arrogant, and was thinking of making things difficult for her first.

But then she spoke.

Lin Chang'er said, "I came to the city today and heard that my cousin had an accident, so I came here to find out what happened."

Pointing at Yang Cheng, he said, "This man incited the petitioning students to surround us! It's fine if we are adults, but my poor stepson is only five years old. How can he withstand such a fright?"

Fortunately, the city gate guards came to my aid.

"Headmaster Chen, let's not even talk about Yang Cheng's deliberate obstruction of our audience with you, his attempt to directly convict my brother and Brother Gu, and expel them from the academy! He who started this is despicable. I merely used a shoe to shut him up, preventing him from spreading rumors and controlling people's hearts. This is still too lenient!"

Chen Shanzhang frowned, even if Li Xun and Gu Ziyan were indeed guilty of theft and fraud, their relatives should still have the right to know.

Yang Cheng's behavior is truly shameful; it's laughable if word gets out!

However, "what about Yang Li and Hu Guang?"

Lin Chang'er replied to him, "Oh, these two? These two are so naive that they didn't even realize they'd been tricked. I'll do a good deed and let them know how wicked people can be!"

Yang Li: "..."

Hu Guang: "..."

Yang Li said, "You're just spouting nonsense. As members of the academy, it's our duty to rid the academy of pests, restore its integrity, and give everyone justice. Why would we need anyone to incite us?"

Hu Guang responded, "What Yang Tongnian said is true. Today's petition was all done spontaneously, and no one instigated us."

Lin Chang'er rolled her eyes and chuckled, "You can't reason with those damned devils. I'm only giving you a hand today, and since you don't appreciate it, there's no point in saying more." And yet you still want to make a name for yourselves in officialdom? It's a miracle you even made it into the examination hall; God is turning a blind eye and ignoring you.

Lin Chang'er stopped arguing with them and turned to Headmaster Chen, "In that case, let's get straight to the point!"

When Chen Shanzhang came out, he thought it would be a farce of village women cursing each other, but to his surprise, the little girl was not impolite in her words and actions, and she was not impolite to his students either.

He was listening intently when he suddenly said he wanted to get down to business.

After a moment of reflection, Chen Shanzhang said, "Then, let's get down to business!"
