Chapter 276
They said Xiao Han got into a fight with the teacher.
I couldn't reach her at all.
Other parents demanded a teacher change, and the school agreed.
Now it's up to her to see how to resolve this, but the school doesn't want it to blow up.
After listening, Si Nian hung up the phone with a grim expression.
She hadn't expected that before the issue with the older boy was even resolved, the younger one had also been hit.
Although she herself had been hit by teachers when she was little, she absolutely could not tolerate this kind of inexplicable violence against a child.
And especially since it was Teacher Xu, it was even more clearly targeted.
If it was because of her own relationship that led to the two children being targeted and bullied by the teacher, then she would definitely not let the other party off.
Just as Si Nian walked out the main gate, she saw Xiao Lao Er and Jiang Jiu saying goodbye at the entrance, chatting and laughing.
She hurried over and looked him up and down.
Noticing that half of his face was somewhat swollen, her expression immediately darkened: "Xiao Han, did the teacher hit your face?"
Zhou Zehan was initially confused, but upon hearing Si Nian's urgent question, his eyes immediately reddened and he started crying, nodding his little head heavily with an "Mhm."
"That teacher is an old witch too. She wouldn't let me wear my new clothes under my uniform, and she even scolded me. I didn't listen to her, so she hit me, wuwu, it hurts so much, Mom."
After hearing this, Si Nian was almost furious.
In the phone call just now, the school had only said the child fought with the teacher; the specific situation wasn't clear to them.
After all, they were just first-grade students; none of them were very sensible and didn't understand why the fight started.
Now the school was planning to replace Teacher Xu but didn't want a big scene.
The parents, hearing that the school agreed to change the teacher, naturally had no objections either.
She clenched her fist, "She's gone too far. What about your brother?"
Si Nian noticed Zhou Zedong wasn't there, and her face changed.
Usually, the two children came home together.
Zhou Zehan still had a potato in his mouth, chewing as he spoke, "Brother said he forgot his book, so he told me and Xiao Jiang to come back first."
Hearing this, Si Nian felt inexplicably worried.
In the novel, Xiao Lao Da was the type who could endure being bullied himself, but would pay back a hundredfold if his younger brother was bullied.
When Xiao Lao Er grew up and was hacked to death by enemies in revenge, it was he who led people to wipe out the entire gang.
The boy who caused his sister's suicide was also dismembered by him...
A complete psychopathic terror of a man.
His eventual fate, of course, was being sent to prison by the male lead, joined by the female lead and the Lin brothers.
Even so, because he was clever, he still managed, through his own efforts, to become the only convict who became a scientific researcher.
Of course, all this was written later on; Si Nian thought it was too exaggerated.
But then again, it was a novel after all; how could it not be written exaggeratedly?
Feeling uneasy, she said, "You go home and watch your sister. I'll go find your brother first."
Xiao Lao Er was somewhat puzzled, but seeing her serious expression, he still nodded.
Si Nian quickened her pace, afraid Xiao Lao Da might act impulsively and do something wrong.
Because she had changed the plot, the two children from the countryside had now entered the city ahead of time.
With the plot's direction altered, she was also worried about unexpected incidents.
Then, just as she turned the corner, she saw two policemen standing on either side of Zhou Zedong.
Si Nian's face changed dramatically in shock, and her whole body froze.
Had she still been too late?
Had Xiao Lao Da already done something wrong?
It's over, Zhou Yueshen, I've failed you, I'm sorry for the hundred thousand plus you gave me...
I didn't raise the children well...
Si Nian felt as if struck by lightning, rooted to the spot.
Her mind raced: Xiao Lao Da was only ten, so he probably wouldn't go to prison.
But if he killed someone, he'd definitely be sent to juvenile detention.
She didn't know what it was called in this era.
But life certainly wouldn't be easy there.
Poor Xiao Lao Da, how could you be so impulsive!
Although the other party's violence was outrageous, it didn't warrant death!
Just as her thoughts were spiraling chaotically, she heard the policeman's stern voice ring out.
"You must never do such a thing again! Do you know how dangerous this is?"
Si Nian: Sure enough, it's over...
Right after the policeman finished speaking, Xiao Lao Da's frail voice sounded.
"Officer Uncle, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again."
Si Nian: Is this something that can be solved just by admitting you were wrong? Huh?
After apologizing, Xiao Lao Da's tears started pattering down again, his tone frail and familiar: "Even though Teacher Xu is bad and targets me, as a student, I still have to learn from Lei Feng and set a good example."
Si Nian, who had been worried, was instead left bewildered by these words.
Looking again at Xiao Lao Da's pitiful, fragile appearance and the two policemen's admiring, approving expressions, her temples throbbed.
Simultaneously, she felt Xiao Lao Da's act of playing pitiful sounded familiar. Si Nian thought for a moment and realized she had acted the same way towards the Si family, so this kid had learned it all by imitation?
Si Nian's mouth twitched. She had thought he was caught by the police for doing something bad, and today would be their last meeting.
But now it seemed she had overthought it.
Thinking this, Si Nian strode over.
"This child, you're really too sensible. Saving someone is a good deed, but it's also dangerous. You're just a kid; what if you got hurt by accident?"
"Right, she got hit because she did something bad. It wouldn't be good if you got dragged into it."
"In the future, when you encounter this kind of thing, you must make sure you're safe first before helping, understand?"
"Such a young child, yet so broad-minded. Truly kind-hearted."
"Kid, come work at the Public Security Bureau in the future! I have high hopes for you!"
Si Nian stumbled on her feet.
It wasn't that she had a big problem with Xiao Lao Da.
Although they'd been in contact for a while now, Si Nian never expected him to do good deeds outside.
As long as he didn't do bad things, Si Nian would thank heaven and earth.
Just what was going on?
"Xiao Dong? What happened?"
She stepped forward to ask.
"You must be Xiao Dong's mother. Indeed, you look like a kind person. No wonder you raised such a good-hearted child like Xiao Dong. Don't worry, the child is fine."
"Since your mom is here to pick you up, we'll be going now."
"Kid, remember to take the exam for our Public Security Bureau in the future."
Si Nian: "...."
Zhou Zedong, not knowing how much Si Nian had heard, looked a bit guilty.
Fidgeting with his fingers, he called out softly: "Mom."
Seeing he was okay, Si Nian felt slightly relieved.
Heaven knows, when she saw the child escorted by two policemen just now, she was already thinking of going back to write a letter to Zhou Yueshen.
Zhou Yueshen, after all, was a former military officer; he could definitely help.
At the very least, shortening his time in juvenile detention would be good.
But she never expected the policemen were actually seeing him home.
And flanking him protectively on both sides.
She stared at Xiao Dong, who looked like he'd done something wrong, and finally sighed: "Let's go home first."
Zhou Zedong nodded.
Back home, he didn't hide it from Si Nian, though he didn't say he had sought someone out. Instead, he said that after hearing his brother was hit, he wanted to ask Teacher Xu about it, and unexpectedly saw Teacher Xu being beaten by someone, which was why he went to find the police uncles.
