Walking numbly into the teachers' office, Mo Ran saw several of the usually diligent teachers with heavy looks of worry on their faces.
"Ms. Zhang, what's wrong with you?" she asked a female teacher instinctively.
Ms. Zhang glanced at her, shook her head, and sighed, "What else could be wrong? The school is about to close, where will I work in the future? Jobs are so hard to find nowadays, and I'm not getting any younger. I fear I'll have no choice but to go back home and live off my parents."
Another male teacher spoke solemnly, "I've been married for just two years and already have a child. This is the time we really need money. Suddenly losing my job, what will I use to support my wife and child?"
"The same goes for me. I just took out a loan to buy a house, and I have to pay two thousand a month in mortgage. I thought I could pay it off by working at the school for ten years, but I never anticipated something like this would happen."
