264: Hit the wrong child

Hit the wrong child

Qin Yan and Xi Ting entered the classroom through the back door. The door was not too large, so it was only big enough for one person to pass through. It would be very crowded for two people to try to enter at the same time, so Xi Ting let Qin Yan walk in front of him.0

Just as Qin Yan was about to walk through the door, a woman wearing a large red mid-length mink fur vest squeezed in front of her and entered first.

Although Qin Yan was not hurt by this woman squeezing past her, she still felt uncomfortable being squashed like this. After all, this was very uncouth.

However, thinking about how this was the little guy's school, she did not say anything else. She only frowned slightly.

Xi Ting was about to ask Qin Yan if she had been squashed, but a very fat man suddenly squeezed in from behind too.

He crowded against Qin Yan so hard that she staggered a step forward, as he snatched the opportunity to walk in. Then, he walked up to the side of the woman in red and asked, "Has it started?"

"Soon."

"Is that brat here yet?"

"Look over there! He's so short. That must be him!"

The woman and the man looked aggressive. Seeing that they were pointing at some boy, Qin Yan guessed that perhaps this couple's child had been bullied, and they were trying to find the bully. Thus, she tried not to mind their interruption too much.

When the woman pointed at the boy in front of her, the man rushed over aggressively. The woman followed the man and went over.

The other parents who had come to participate in the Parents' Open Day activities today followed common decorum and watched quietly from the back of the classroom.

There was an activity area the same size as the classroom at the back of each classroom, so even if there were many parents around, the room would not be too crowded.

All the parents at the back watched as a couple walked to the front and found a boy sitting in the front row. With no consideration for what he was doing, the man lifted the boy up by the collar as easily as he was lifting a little chick by the beak.

The boy was very confused. He had suddenly been lifted up by a strong force! His eyes were full of fear. Just as he was about to speak, the parents at the back came to their senses and were about to step forward to stop the man's behavior. However, the woman next to him slapped the boy's face before anyone could do anything.

A red palm print instantly formed on the boy's tender face, and the boy loudly cried out.

"What are you doing?"

The boy's mother rushed up from behind, wanting to protect her child, but she was pushed away by the boy's father. She staggered a few times before she eventually came to sit down on the ground.

The woman who had slapped the boy was still not satisfied. She started to slap the boy again. She hit him four more times before she stopped.

When the boy's mother saw her son being hit, she jumped up and pushed the woman who had hit her son. She used all her strength and pushed the woman to the ground. Then, she rose up and slapped the woman's face a few times in return. 

When the arrogant woman's husband saw this, he threw the child who had been beaten to the side and kicked at the woman's back.

Fortunately, a group of teachers arrived in time and pulled the parents on both sides apart.

Seeing that a child had been beaten, as well as his own mother, the class teacher was very angry.

"Don't you parents know manners and common decency? You dare to even beat a child! If you have a problem, you can report it to the school. There's no need to attempt murder in public. Are there not laws?"

"Laws? What is law and order, pray tell? This brat extorted money from my son. Don't tell me I can't teach him a lesson! Do you know who I am? Bring up the law one more time! My cousin sister is the young miss of the Nei family of capital city. Are you sure you want to bring up the law?" The man's face was full of anger even when he was facing the class teacher. He did not give in the slightest. He did not show any regret or contrition despite having hit someone.

He did not stop there. The man also shouted, "Go and find your principal immediately. Even if you hadn't brought up the law, I would have brought this up with him. If I don't teach this brat a lesson today, I'm not the vice chairman of the Hengliang Group!" 

The parents at the back had initially wanted to help the child's mother when they saw the man beat her and her child. However, when they heard him mention the Nei family… In addition to that, he had even said that he was the vice chairman of the Hengliang Group. Everyone shut up and did not dare to say anything more.

This school was a premier school, so no poor family would be able to send their child there. However, compared to the Nei family, most of the families sending their children to this school were nothing. The Nei family, as well as the Hengliang Group—a subsidiary of Nei family—were not people they could afford to anger.

The homeroom teacher, however, was firm. She quickly helped the crying little boy up and said, "Even if you want to argue, you can't hit a child! You hit a child, yet you're still trying to justify your actions?"

"What's there to be dissatisfied about? We welcome everyone to bring up any issues they might have with the school authorities. You're a grown man! What's the point of you ganging up with your wife to bully such a young child?"

"Believe it or not, I'll slap you if you keep blabbering! What's wrong with hitting him? He deserves it! He's already turning into such a bad apple at a young age, joining a gang of bullies to extort money from my son! If you don't return that money to my son today and apologize to him, this won't be the last you see of me!" The man fiercely roared.

"Who is your son?" The class teacher was still protecting the hurt student, completely unbothered.

"My son, Yuan Mingbo! This brat has stolen over 3,000 yuan from my son! Why would he need so much money at his young age? It's simply too vile. If children like this aren't well-disciplined by their parents, then parents like me have to pick up the slack!" Yuan Mingbo's mother stood up at this moment, brushed her clothes off, and roared fiercely.

"Li Yangdi, what's going on? Did you steal more than 3,000 yuan from Yuan Mingbo?" the class teacher asked.

Li Yangdi cried until he was shaking, his voice cracking, "No… No… I didn't… Sob sob sob sob… it's… It was Xi Xiaobao… Xi Xiaobao… Sob sob sob sob…"

"You still want to argue?" Yuan Mingbo's mother had hit Li Yangdi, and now her face was as red with anger as his was red from pain. She shouted at Yuan Mingbo, who was sitting in the last row, "Mingbo, come here! Tell your class teacher who cheated you out of your money."

Yuan Mingbo heard his mother call him. He was still stunned. He looked at Li Yangdi, whose face had been beaten until it was swollen, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Say something! Why are you as mute as a fool right now? Who cheated you out of your money? Speak up! Today, Daddy and Mommy will avenge you!"

"Daddy… Mommy… You… hit the wrong person!"

Father Yuan, "…"

Mother Yuan, "…"

"How could we have hit the wrong person? Didn't you say that the boy who extorted you was some five-year-old kid from your class? He had a bad upbringing, so he decided to try to cheat you out of your money! I really don't know how his parents raised him! And apparently, he's some child prodigy! I think he's just a fool, though!"

"But… But I'm already seven years old! I'm not five years old… Sob sob sob…"

Li Yangdi, who had been beaten until he was sobbing, defended himself.

Father Yuan, "…"

Mother Yuan, "…"

Qin Yan, who was remaining silent at the side, "…"

Xi Ting, "…"

This woman thought that the five-year-old child would definitely be the shortest one in the class, so she beat up the shortest one she could find.

She had not expected a five-year-old child to be able to grow very tall because of good genes, and to grow even taller than a seven-year-old child.
