Although making desks and chairs for the school wasn’t technically their job, everyone knew the school’s situation. The principal had already subsidized it with a lot of his own money, so now that the student’s desks were broken again, everyone was willing to pitch in.
As for Hu Xiuqiao, she only took on one extra class and didn’t do any of the other work at all.
The other women, on the other hand, took on two classes and even helped grade the male teachers’ homework, making their workload much heavier than Hu Xiuqiao’s.
Gu Jiaojiao, in particular, had the heaviest workload of all.
But right now, it was Hu Xiuqiao who was complaining the most.
Now, the principal had overheard her slandering him behind his back, leaving everyone speechless. But seeing Hu Xiuqiao kneel before the principal in front of the other female teachers just to keep her job left them even more at a loss for words.
The principal himself was startled. He hadn’t expected Hu Xiuqiao to suddenly kneel. He immediately sidestepped, his tone growing even colder.
"Teacher Hu, what are you doing? Get up immediately. Is this how a teacher should behave?"
But Hu Xiuqiao couldn’t be bothered with that. She was a crying mess, with tears and snot streaming down her face.
"Principal, I truly know I was wrong. I’ll never do it again. Please, give me another chance! This job is so important to me. I’m begging you."
The principal felt a sense of stifling frustration. The whole issue was that Hu Xiuqiao had been spouting nonsense. But now, with her kneeling like this, she was forcing his hand, making it impossible for him to punish her.
Taking a deep breath, the principal said coldly, "Alright. We’ll let it go this time. But if there’s a next time, there won’t be a place for you here anymore."
The moment the principal relented, Hu Xiuqiao immediately stood up without the slightest delay.
