Chapter 11 — On Le

Teacher Khau poured water for me: "Don't be nervous, just tell the truth." I didn't accept the water: "Last winter, I wrote at my father's restaurant. I wrote to an old man who came to eat noodles." The old man in the gray shirt asked: "How is the old man?" "Using his left hand to hold chopsticks, he likes to add vinegar, says the noodles are too soft." I looked at him. “At that time, you were a little fatter than you are now.” Teacher Khau couldn't help but laugh. The old man in the gray shirt touched his nose: "Memory is quite good." I said: "You still owe me money for a bowl of noodles." The old man couldn't laugh anymore and coughed: "I didn't bring any change at that time." Teacher Co pushed the test to me: "So this test is yours?" I corrected myself: "I didn't make a question, I just wrote it while chatting. There was an error in the question, I corrected it at that time. Today's paper has not been edited yet." There was a noise outside the door. Teacher Chu led Luc Hoai Can to stand outside, obviously having heard the last sentence. Teacher Chu's face was very ugly: "Teacher Co, did you call her here because she was exposed to the previous topic?" The old man in the gray shirt said: "I called her here because this article should not have been included in the practice test." Teacher Chu immediately said: "That proves that she has a problem." The old man raised his head to look at him: "The person with the problem is the one who got the wrong question." Teacher Co said: "This set of questions is temporarily assembled, the first sentence is taken from the old problem repository. In the old problem repository, this article is signed Thanh Le." Luc Hoai Can suddenly looked at me. Teacher Chu's voice was like being sandpapered: "Thanh Le?" Mr. Khau said: "Don't you know? In the last two years, several of the city's amendments have all signed this name." Teacher Chu immediately objected: "It's impossible. On Le's normal achievements..." I interrupted him: "Teacher Chu, besides his normal achievements, what else can you say?" When I opposed him right in front of him, his face turned purple: "Are you talking to the teacher like that?" The gray-shirted old man asked: "Does her poor normal performance affect her pointing out errors in the test?" Mr. Chu stubbornly said: "But she always sleeps during the hour." I said: "During the teacher's class, I actually fell asleep, because the teacher's lecture was wrong. I raised my hand and the teacher didn't let me speak." This sentence is like kicking open a door. Luc Hoai Can's hand held the door frame, his voice was very low: "Why didn't you say so sooner?" I looked at him: "I said." He was stunned. "The third week you were tutoring me, I asked you for another way to solve a problem. You said it was a wrong way and couldn't be used on the exam. Tell me not to waste your time." I pushed the glass of water out. "The fourth week, I showed you the lesson I wrote, you said I copied it online. The fifth week, I said Mr. Chu's writing on the board was lacking in conditions, he told me not to like showing off in class." Luc Hoai Can's face turned pale. Teacher Chu was angry: "On Le, don't drag Luc Hoai Can into it." The gray-shirted old man looked at Luc Hoai Can: "Is what he said true?" Luc Hoai Can tried to force out one word from his throat: "Yes." Outside the door, someone took a breath. I don't know when Lam Nhuoc Duong arrived, she stood in the hallway, there were no tears on her face, only panic. She asked: "Thanh Le, are you?" I looked at her: "Do you also know Thanh Le?" She didn't answer. Teacher Co immediately grasped this point: "Lin Nhuoc Duong, how do you know?" Lam Nhuoc Duong quickly said: "I heard what my classmate said." Hua Kieu peeked out from behind her: "Which friend? I was standing right next to you just now, you didn't tell me." Lam Nhuoc Duong still spoke stiffly: "I forgot." The old man in the gray shirt took out an old piece of paper. On the paper is my familiar handwriting, the lower right corner has the words Thanh Le. "On Le, is this your signature?" I nodded. He took out the second sheet. "And this one?" I took a look, my face darkened: "No." The two words Thanh Le on that piece of paper were imitated very similarly, but the last stroke of the word Le was too hasty. Teacher Co asked: "This piece of paper is Lam Nhuoc

Duong submitted it to Mr. Chu yesterday, saying he found Thanh Le's old manuscript from outside." Lam Nhuoc Duong panicked: "I didn't say it was mine!" Hua Kieu laughed: "Again, you never said it was yours, but the benefits are all in your hands." Teacher Chu's face also changed. He looked at Lam Nhuoc Duong: "When you gave it to me, you said this could prove that you had been exposed to a higher level problem." Lam Nhuoc Duong cried: "Teacher, you said that as long as I perform well, my place in the exam will be certain." The meeting room was so quiet that there was only the sound of the whistle outside the gymnasium. Teacher Chu felt like his skin had been peeled off in front of everyone: "You're talking nonsense!" I watched them bite each other and suddenly felt very calm. Teacher Co put away both pieces of paper: "The writing will be sent for comparison. On Le, in the public lecture this afternoon, you went up on stage to explain the error in the first sentence." Teacher Chu immediately objected: "She is still a student, how can she go on stage to question the person who gave the test?" The gray-shirted old man said: "If you make a mistake, let the person who discovered the mistake tell you." Luc Hoai Can looked at me, his voice hoarse: "On Le, are you really Thanh Le?" Before I could answer, the old man spoke instead. "Whether it is or not, we will know after listening to her lecture this afternoon." At the public lecture that afternoon, the lecture hall's stairs were full of people.
