Thank You for Stepping Aside (1)

"Then you and your sister may not be able to stay in our class… you might have to transfer to a regular class."

Pudding heard the teacher's words loud and clear.

The hierarchy at this private school was no joke. Children from richer families were put into a class called the 'accelerated class'. There was one accelerated class in each year, known as Class 8 (8 is a lucky number in China). Meanwhile, Classes 1 through 7 in each year were composed of children from normal families; these children got into this school with their good grades.

Ms. Li's words were clear; if Pudding and Little Bean's parents were unwilling to donate to the school, they would be demoted to a regular class.
