Chapter 1183: Not a Catfish

r, and it's said that death is commonplace."The border fortresses are always guarded by powerful generals, so it's not easy to break through. Besides, we are going to Huangzhou, not settling down dire...Treat these people like they're farting, then shut everyone's mouths with the first-place scores from the monthly exams.

"Hmph, what's so impressive She's a year older than us. Getting this score isn't that surprising, is it"

Liu Qi mumbled, her eyes full of discontent.

"Then you can also take an exam to prove that you are first in your grade!"

Ripple smiled sweetly.

"You already had a year more of review than us. We're losing out because we're ranked with you, which isn't fair to everyone."

Liu Qi immediately started fanning the flames.

"You're right, then I'll tell the homeroom teacher that my grades are not included in the rankings."

Ripple said it didn't matter.

Whether she ranks high or not doesn't matter to her, as long as she gets into her dream school.

Yes, Lianyi decided to take the entrance exam for a military academy. This is what she thought was the best way to fulfill the original owner's wish.

This matter had been a consideration for her ever since she decided to redo it. It needed to balance several things: a good future, taking care of her parents, fulfilling the original owner's wish, and keeping the world plot from collapsing, all while ensuring the male lead could smoothly be born from his own womb. After weighing all these factors, this was the decision she made.

So this year was a transition, aiming to broaden her parents' horizons and increase their financial standing so she could convince them to join her after she got into military school. She didn't make many friends in class, treating everyone similarly and avoiding small groups. She let her grades do the talking.

Liu Qi choked when she heard Lian Yi's words. She didn't expect the other party to say that. Shouldn't the other party reason with her

After finishing her explanation, Ripple went to find the teacher and explained the reasons why she didn't want to participate in the rankings.

The head teacher, Ms. Lao Sun, was speechless. Her intention was to motivate these children to strive for improvement and give it their all in their final year. However, the students didn't appreciate her efforts and even wanted to remove Lianyi from the rankings. Of course, she disagreed with that.

Ripple naturally understood the teacher's intention. She was the catfish, entering the peaceful sardine tank, then stirring up a whole pool of sardines, causing the threatened sardines to swim and thereby enhance their own activity for survival.

But the problem now is that these sardines are very averse to ripples, they're starting to isolate themselves, wanting to artificially exclude the threat of ripples.

Liàn Yī saw that the teacher disagreed, so she smiled and comforted him:

"Mr. Sun, I'm not participating in the ranking, and that doesn't mean I don't have results. When my results come out, those who need to know will know, and those who should still strive will continue to do so."

As for those self-deceived classmates, you don't need to put too much thought into them. After all, learning is for their own sake, and going to college is also for their own sake.

You can cast a wide net and focus on cultivating key talents, after all, a teacher is responsible for 45 students in a class, not just one individual.

With this time, the teacher can urge several potential students more, raising the class's admission rate. This would be helpful for your year-end evaluation or leading a graduating class.

Mr. Sun, after hearing Ripples' words, was even more impressed with this repeating student. He wondered how a child who was so academically gifted could have failed the exam.

The ripples seemed to have sensed Master Sun's confusion and sighed as they explained:

"Teacher Sun, I'm the youngest in my family. I have three older brothers who are all married with children. They think because I'm a girl, I don't need to study as much. They don't want my parents to spend money on my education."

> Last year during the college entrance exam, things at home were especially chaotic. It wasn't until my father separated from the family that my three older brothers finally calmed down. However, I was also affected, so I didn't perform as well as I could have.

Teacher Sun was immediately furious. This kind of situation happened to her several times a year. It was always because the families favored sons over daughters, or thought that girls would eventually get married and therefore didn't want to pay for their education. These were vestiges of feudalistic thinking.

"Xing Lianyi, your foundation is very good. This time with no outside interference, you are definitely going to get a great score. Don't relax at all, and make sure your brothers can't keep up when the results come out."

Mr. Sun encouraged.

Ripple immediately smiled and agreed. This teacher has a good moral compass, it's nice to know him/her.

When Lian Ri returned to the classroom, her classmates immediately surrounded her, asking about her situation. Lian Ri told them the truth and said that she would no longer participate in the ranking system from now on, encouraging everyone else to work hard and strive for first place.

Then, in the second month's exam, Ripples didn't make it onto the rankings. However, when classmates added up her scores, they discovered she was 45 points higher than the first-place student. This made the first-place male student feel like his top spot wasn't really worth bragging about.

Liu Qi couldn't speak up against the ripples now, after all, the other party didn't even make the rankings. What else could she do Was she going to drive someone away just because they performed well Then Teacher Sun would tear her apart! The teachers in the graduating class have admission tasks, you know.

Xingjia's elderly couple's small business was also on track, because the business was getting better and better, they were excluded by nearby vendors who spread rumors that the elderly couple was not in good health and their products were definitely problematic.

Ripples won't get used to these people. Everyone is living their lives, you make your money, and the things we sell are different. There's no such thing as stealing business. Spreading rumors is excessive.

So, the ripples went straight to the police and then stuck her parents' checkup reports on the stroller's window, accepting everyone's supervision.

Of course, the teachers at school also thought the couple were honest people. The whole process of making food was under everyone's eyes, and the hygiene was up to standard. Moreover, their daughter ate breakfast at their own stall. If there were any problems, would they still feed their own daughter

Although small business was affected to some extent, after clearing their name with medical reports and the arrival of the police, business gradually recovered. Those who had been secretly trying to sabotage them were left frustrated and helpless.

The three Xing brothers were still waiting for their parents to sneak back to the village. However, they discovered that their parents now only returned sporadically. They would stay for two days and then leave again after buying some rice and noodles from villagers, completely forgetting about their three sons' families.

The three sisters-in-law were even more heart-wrenching, it felt like the old couple was making money in the county, that's why they became even less willing to see them.

The three of them conspired and snuck to the entrance of Lian Yi's school to see what was going on. They saw so many students gathered around the old couple's stall, and by the time the early reading bell rang, they had sold out all their goods and pushed their cart away.

"Sister-in-law one, sister-in-law two, I'll go take a look."

The third daughter-in-law said in a low voice.

"Go."

Three people trailed far behind the elderly couple, going to where they were temporarily staying at Ripples. Looking at the cramped yard, they scoffed, but just now when Old Xing collected the money, they had seen his little bag was bulging.

Let's go see our parents!

The third daughter-in-law suggested.

"Does this work"

"What's wrong with that We are their daughters-in-law."

The sister-in-law emphasized.

"Tsk, you all know you're daughters-in-law, visiting your in-laws should be more than just showing up empty-handed"rls were frightened, but none of them screamed. Instead, they huddled in their mothers' arms, their eyes fixed on the small hillock in the distance.Liu was also startled, the child in her belly seemed...
