Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s Ⅱ

Part 256 Si Nian is really too low-key

As soon as Si Nian arrived at school, she received a letter from Mama Lin.

Although there were landline phones by this time, long-distance calls were expensive, so most people preferred to send letters. The letter mentioned that business had been going well recently and that her two younger brothers had also started school. Once things stabilized, Mama Lin and her husband planned to come to the city to visit them.

The letter also talked about how the Si family had gone to the Lin family to find them, mentioning that Lin Sisi inexplicably wanted to see them and even claimed that Si Nian had taken her spot, among other things... but it had been declined.

Mama Lin was straightforward with her, without any hint of concealment. She worried that if she didn't clarify things, Si Nian might get upset upon finding out.

After reading it, Si Nian felt her mind buzzing. What did Lin Sisi mean by saying she took her spot? Wasn't that spot originally Fu Qianqian's? Even if, hypothetically, she hadn't resigned, that spot still belonged to the original owner. Why was Lin Sisi so certain about it?

Si Nian furrowed her brows, hoping she was just overthinking...

"Ms. Si, you're here! Do you want to join us for lunch?"

Ever since the incident yesterday, the way everyone looked at Si Nian had changed. Now, when someone initiated a conversation, all eyes turned to the two of them.

Everyone only knew that because of Si Nian, Director Li had been reprimanded by the principal and lost his bonus.

I heard he got so angry he fell ill and has been recovering at home, so he hasn't come to school.

"Ms. Si... oh no, I should say Nian Jie! So you're really quite low-key!"

"Nian Jie, you're so brave! You'll be our role model in the future!"

Everyone had been squeezed for more than they could bear. But they never dared to voice their objections; they all worked quietly without complaint. However, just because they didn't speak up didn't mean they didn't have opinions.

This time, Director Li had hit a brick wall, and everyone felt incredibly satisfied about it. Besides the few teachers who had spoken to Si Nian yesterday, even the older staff members who had hardly acknowledged her began to show her friendly glances.

Si Nian folded the letter and smiled politely, "Everyone is overthinking this. It was an accident."

Upon hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances.

"An accident?"

Who would believe that?

Si Nian was just too low-key.

At that moment, the office door was pushed open. The deputy director walked in, as he was in charge of arranging the work in Director Li's absence.

He handed out materials to each teacher, instructing them to prepare for the day. Today was the first day of school, and everything had to go smoothly. With many new students arriving, the teachers needed to be on alert.

However, Li Fenghua's faction was represented by Li Fengxian, who arrogantly snorted, "I only listen to my aunt; no one else can give me orders."

After saying that, she slammed her hands on the table and stood up, looking down her nose at Si Nian with a smug expression.

Si Nian felt utterly baffled. The people around her exchanged confused glances, unsure of what Li Fengxian was up to this time.

In the past, Li Fengxian had been quite arrogant in the office, relying on her relationship with Li Fenghua. She looked down on everyone else. With her strong backing, she had been assigned to teach English in the top class as soon as she arrived. However, her teaching didn't go well, and after just half a year, she was demoted by the principal.
