Hu Su's mother was very notorious in No. 60 High School. Her son had toiled hard in Grade One's remedial class for four years, but still continued to repeat it, and she would make trouble daily. Almost everyone in the school had heard of her, but a few of the younger teachers who had only just been posted here, and had yet to become completely familiar with the "business," were still in the dark.
