Chapter 349 Yan Bugui Pretends to Be Poor

When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's analysis, she was visibly stunned. She confirmed with Jia Dongming in disbelief, "Dongming! What you mean is that Yan Bugui was not frightened by the corpse, but was worried about losing his job, so he scared himself to death."

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question and saw her eager look, he was speechless. He said to her helplessly, "Mom! Yan Bugui might have been frightened when he fished the body out just now. By the time he got to the East City Branch, he would have recovered."

"The reason why Yan Bugui fainted was because after he left the Dongcheng Branch, he suddenly realized that if the school knew about this, they would probably expel him. That's why Yan Bugui, who values money more than anything else, fainted from fear."

When Jia Zhang learned the reason why Yan Bugui fainted, she immediately asked Jia Dongming curiously, "Dongming! Then tell me, will Red Star Primary School expel Yan Laoxi?"

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question, he subconsciously shook his head and answered, "Yan Bugui just took advantage of the opportunity when he didn't have classes to go fishing in Beihai Park. Although he skipped classes, it didn't affect his work at school. At most, he was disqualified as a teacher and was assigned to do odd jobs in the logistics department."

When Jia Zhang learned that Yan Bugui was about to lose his teaching qualification and was assigned by the school to do odd jobs in logistics, she once again showed an expression of gloating and said to Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Old Yan relied on his status as a teacher to take advantage of students' parents. Now that Yan Bugui has lost his status as a teacher, he can forget about taking advantage of students' parents in the future."

"Brother Dongming! The Yan family has six members, and only Yan Bugui earns money to support the family. Once Yan Bugui is transferred, his income will probably decrease, and the Yan family will probably have a hard time in the future." Qin Huairu walked out of the kitchen with a plate of food. She happened to hear the conversation between Jia Dongming and Jia Zhang, and couldn't help but sigh.

When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's sigh, he thought of the plot in which Yan Bugui bought a bicycle, a radio, a television, and even lent money to Yan Jiecheng to open a restaurant. In the end, he followed Xu Damao to engage in the business of smuggling televisions. This alone was enough to prove that the Yan family's poverty was just a deliberate act.

Thinking of the true situation of the Yan family, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Qin Huairu: "Huairu! If you really think so, then you have been deceived by the Yan family."

"Let me tell you the truth! The Yan family is not only not poor, but also one of the richest families in our courtyard. The Yan family looks poor and likes to take advantage of others. This is just Yan Bugui's way of hiding the fact that the Yan family is a small owner. He deliberately pretends to be so in front of the neighbors in the courtyard."

"Brother Dongming! If the Yan family is really a group of small property owners, then they are not poor but very rich. I heard from the eldest sister in our community that the families that were rated as small property owners at that time were all families with a lot of property." When Lin Qiuyue heard Jia Dongming say that the Yan family was a group of small property owners, an expression of surprise appeared on her face, and she continued with surprise.

When Jia Zhang heard what Jia Dongming said and learned that the Yan family was very rich, she showed an incredible expression on her face and quickly asked Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Is what you said true? Is the Yan family really rich?"

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question and saw her shocked expression, he did not answer her question this time. Instead, he smiled and said to her, "Mom! Whether the Yan family has money or not has nothing to do with our family. We just need to live our own lives well. As for whether other families live well or not, what does it have to do with us?"

When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's answer, she showed an angry expression on her face and replied, "I thought I was the best at pretending to be poor in our courtyard, but I didn't expect that Old Man Yan was even better at pretending to be poor than me. If I hadn't heard you, Dongming, say that the Yan family was a small property owner, I would have really been deceived by Old Man Yan."

At around 8 o'clock the next morning, Yan Bugui was in class when a teacher suddenly walked to the door of the classroom and shouted to Yan Bugui, who was in class: "Teacher Yan! Come out for a moment. The principal wants you to go to his office."

Just as Jia Dongming imagined, Yan Bugui left the Dongcheng Branch yesterday evening. On the way home, he thought about the dead body he caught while fishing today, and suddenly realized that once the news got to the school, the school would definitely find out that he skipped work to go fishing. Thinking of the principal's personality, Yan Bugui immediately realized that his skipping work to go fishing today would probably be treated as an example by the school, and he would probably lose his status as a teacher because of this incident, so he frightened himself and fainted.

When Yan Bugui arrived at school in the morning, he found that the teachers looked at him strangely. At that moment, Yan Bugui realized that the news of him catching a dead body while fishing yesterday had spread in the school.

In order to reduce the impact, Yan Bugui directly changed his previous work style. He came to the classroom early to supervise the children's morning reading. When teaching the children, he no longer dawdled and let the children study on their own. Instead, he picked up the textbooks and concentrated on teaching the children.

Yan Bugui, who was giving a lecture, heard the shouting outside the classroom. His heart skipped a beat and he smiled and asked his colleague standing outside the classroom door, "Mr. Shen! What does the principal want to talk to me about?"

When Teacher Shen heard Yan Bugui's question, he thought of the scene where the principal had just received a call from the district and got furious in the office. He looked at Yan Bugui with some sympathy and said to him, "Teacher Yan! I don't know why the principal is looking for you, but the principal doesn't look very good. You should go and see him."

When Yan Bugui heard what Teacher Shen said and saw the sympathetic expression on his face, he immediately realized that the principal must have been looking for him because of what happened yesterday, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk towards the principal's office.

Soon Yan Bugui arrived at the principal's office. When he saw the principal sitting in the office, he reached out and knocked on the door, then asked the principal carefully, "Principal! I heard from Teacher Shen that you have something to talk to me about."

When the principal heard the knock on the door and saw Yan Bugui standing outside the office, he angrily said to Yan Bugui: "Yan Bugui! Congratulations! Our Red Star Primary School has become famous throughout the city because of you. Even the leaders of the district education committee called me and asked me to ask you, are you a gardener in the school? Or a fishing master in the park?"

When Yan Bugui heard the principal's question and saw the principal's angry expression, he instinctively shrank his head and replied with a guilty look, "Principal! I didn't have classes yesterday afternoon, so I thought I would go to Beihai Park to try my luck and see if I could catch one or two fish to bring home to improve my meals. Who would have thought that I would actually catch a dead body."

"Snapped!"

When the principal heard what Yan Bugui said, he slammed his desk in anger and shouted at Yan Bugui: "Yan Bugui! Whether you have classes or not, it is still working hours. You skipped work to go fishing, which caused the leaders of the district education committee to think that our Red Star Primary School is in disarray and that the teachers are irresponsible in teaching, and they asked us to make corrections."

Facing the principal's anger, Yan Bugui shrank his head and assured the principal: "Principal! I promise you that I will never skip work to go fishing during working hours in the future."

When the principal heard Yan Bugui's perfunctory promise, he said seriously, "Yan Bugui! In view of the fact that your actions have seriously affected our school and the impression left on the leaders of the Education Committee, the school D Committee has decided to transfer you to the Logistics and Health Group. As long as you can complete your job, it has nothing to do with our school where you want to go fishing."
