Chapter 202 Bonnie Makes Her Move

Bonnie led Liu Jiu out of Teacher Yang's office; it wasn't time for school to end yet.

"Liu Jiu, are you going back to class now or leaving with your mom? She's working on the beach. Do you want to go?"

"Mom, I'm going back to my class. School's not over yet. I'll ask Grandma to take us to the beach to find you later." Her schoolbag and everything else are still in the classroom. She hasn't done anything wrong, so what's there to be afraid of?

"Okay, go back to your class. After school, go to your grandma's house first. Don't go to the beach by yourself." Bonnie said before leaving.

When Liu Jiu returned to the classroom, all the other children looked at her. Unexpectedly, Liu Jiu came back without crying.

"Gu Yun Chu, how's it going? Did Li Xiao Bao's mother say anything to you? His mother is unreasonable. Li Xiao Bao is always right, and he often beats his sister." The child who spoke was from the same brigade as Li Xiao Bao, from the third team of the island.

"It's okay, my mom is here too. My mom is very strict. She said I didn't do anything wrong. Boys shouldn't go near the girls' restroom. There's a difference between boys and girls." Liu Jiu said a few words to his classmates, and then Teacher Yang came back. She came back by herself, but Li Xiaobao didn't come back with her.

"Quiet down. Let me tell you about what happened today. From now on, boys are not allowed to go near the girls' restroom, and girls are not allowed to go near the boys' restroom either. You come to school to study, not to bully your classmates, understand?" Teacher Yang was also exhausted. In just over a month since the start of the semester, she had been involved in three fights.

Gu Yun Chu didn't do anything wrong; she's just quick to defend the weak and has a lot of strength. Who knows how this will turn out today? Judging from Li Xiao Bao's parents, they seem difficult to communicate with; they were even grumbling as they left.

Liu Jiu was completely unaffected, sitting attentively in his seat listening to the teacher, very focused.

Bonnie received a lot of attention when she returned to the beach. Everyone slowed down their work as soon as they saw her back.

"Sister Bonnie, how is it? Has Liu Jiu been bullied?" Han Weidong asked hurriedly, as he was Liu Jiu's friend.

"Yes, Bonnie, tell me, which blind brat was it this time? Is Liu Jiu hurt?" Aunt Zhang next door knows Liu Jiu very well. That little girl basically never hits girls. Over the years, it's always been the boys who get hurt.

"Was the parent easier to talk to this time? What did they compensate you with?" Li Gang remembered that once they compensated Liu Jiu with White Rabbit milk candies. Liu Jiu had given away all of her own milk candies, and Han Weidong had smuggled a lot of them to Liu Jiu.

Bonnie looked at this group of people and thought, "Why do they all have such gossipy hearts?" The soldiers over there were also straining their ears, eager to hear how things were going.

Bonnie had no choice but to recount what had happened. This time, Bonnie was also angry and refused to compensate Bonnie for anything.

"Kids like that should be beaten. He's so old, why is he still going near the girls' restroom? Didn't his family tell him that there's a difference between boys and girls?" Han Weidong said angrily. What nonsense! How come they weren't girls in 1969?

"Baoni, I know the person you're talking about. She's from the same team as my family. She's notorious in Team Three on the island. That woman is extremely sexist, treating her son like her lifeblood, while her two daughters are raised like dirt and are always getting beaten up by their older brother." A woman from Team One knew that family; they weren't exactly good people.

"Alright, let's deal with whatever comes our way. I'm not afraid of them. Let's get to work and try to finish everything today so we can rest tomorrow." She wasn't one to be easily swayed, no matter how difficult they were to deal with.

Having heard the gossip and satisfied their curiosity, everyone quickly sped up their work.

After finishing work, Bonnie went straight to her parents' house. Gu Ye wasn't home, so she usually ate at her parents' house before going home.

"Grandma, where are my mother and the others?" Bao Ni entered the courtyard but didn't see her mother or the children.

"She took the children to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soy sauce, why haven't they come back yet?" Grandma Lin wondered, it had been a long time since they left.

"I'll go check it out." Bonnie turned and left.

Before she even reached the supply and marketing cooperative, she heard her mother's voice; they were arguing. Bonnie ran over to see who they were arguing with.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Inside the circle, standing opposite her mother was the mother of the boy from today, and an old lady she had never seen before.

"These two women are crazy. They're saying that Liu Jiu hit her child and they want me to pay them money. They're going on and on, and I still have to go home and cook." Bao Ni's mother didn't know about the fight Liu Jiu had gotten into today and was inexplicably stopped, so she was also angry.

"Didn't I say that my Gu Yun Chu did nothing wrong? It's your child's own fault for being beaten. He's so old, yet he still blocked the women's restroom. Who else should we beat if not him?" Bao Ni was speechless. What kind of people are these? Trying to extort money from her? How wonderful.

"What's wrong with the women's restroom? Aren't restrooms for people to poop and pee? Why can't my grandson go there? Your little brat hit my grandson, so you have to pay compensation. My little treasure is precious. He even has a bruise around his eye. You have to pay at least two ten-yuan bills." The old lady's eyes gleamed, feeling that the money was about to be in her hands.

"Dream on! Two ten-yuan notes? I'd rather slap you twice." Bao Ni's mother was furious. What kind of person was this?

Bonnie didn't want to waste her breath arguing with them; she couldn't understand what they were saying, and even if she did, she pretended not to.

"Get out of my way, or I won't blame you if you get hurt."

Bonnie was hungry and didn't want to get entangled with them. After a long day of work, she just wanted to go home and have a hot meal.

Liu Jiu and San Qi followed behind Bonnie; they were hungry too.

"You can't leave without paying compensation! Son, come here quickly, they're bullying us!" The old lady shouted at the crowd. Three men, in their twenties or thirties, tall and burly, squeezed in. Judging by their appearance, they had been in many fights.
