Her second sister married into the family of a cadre in the commune and became a stepmother. She begged for a long time before they found her such an easy job. She dared not cause trouble for her brother-in-law, otherwise what would she do if her second sister stopped taking care of her? If it weren't for this job, she would still be at home serving the whole family.

She knelt down in front of the principal with a thud: "No, Principal, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will never hit or scold students again. As long as they behave, I will not expel them, okay? Please don't send me to the commune."

Qian Xiao frowned. How did such an ignorant person become a teacher at the school? Does he really have some extraordinary background?

The principal was also in a dilemma. To be honest, this matter was really outrageous, and even he felt extremely angry just listening to it. But if they really sent him to the commune as they had just discussed, Xiao Wang's life would be ruined. Not only Xiao Wang, but his whole family would be unable to hold their heads up in public.

Furthermore, Xiao Wang's brother-in-law is a leader in the commune. If we don't give him any face, it will cause trouble for the school in the future, since that person is in charge of the school.

"Look, how about we fire her? After all, she's still young. We should give young people a chance to make amends, right?"

The village chief was also more thoughtful. Since the principal said so, it meant that this female teacher had some influence behind her. For the good of the village, things couldn't be taken too far.

"It's not impossible, but these children need some compensation first, and then we'll consider this matter closed here."

The villagers all listened to the village chief and did whatever he said. However, Teacher Wang still couldn't escape being beaten up by these parents. Qian Xiao felt helpless but also relieved. The adult world is complicated and not just black and white.

She has no objection as long as everyone agrees; she just stood up for herself because she couldn't stand by and watch.

Li Guizhi quickly pulled her daughter aside: "That woman didn't hit you, did she?"

"No, she can't beat me, Mother, you don't need to worry."

"If it doesn't work out, then we won't go to school here anymore. How about we go to school in the commune, even if it's a bit tough?"

"No need, Mother, this place is close enough, it's fine." No matter how many places you go, this is the current educational philosophy, and you'll find people like this everywhere you go.

Nowadays, you don't need a teaching certificate to be a teacher. As long as you know a few words, you can find someone to help you and start teaching students. She never thought about having a high level of education. These days, having a high level of education is not necessarily a good thing.

After seeing that Teacher Wang had been fired, the male teacher didn't dare to utter a sound and tried to minimize his presence. He wasn't as outrageous as Teacher Wang, but sometimes when he was in a bad mood, he would take it out on the students. He couldn't let others know about this, as it was a job opportunity he had worked so hard to get.

School was canceled today, and parents took their children home. On the way, they asked their children if they had been bullied. Some parents were annoyed, thinking that everything would be fine once their children were sent to school. How could they let their kids be bullied?

So school isn't such a great place after all!

Wang Dedi returned home with a bruised and swollen face. Before she even got home, the news of her incident had already spread. After all, there were children from their village studying at that school, and in the countryside, you can't expect anything to be kept secret.

They'd rather you farted in the village to the east in the morning and by the afternoon spread the word in the village to the south that you'd soiled your pants.

Wang Dedi, still in pain, had just opened the front door of his house when he was struck directly on the body with a stick, accompanied by his mother's cursing.

"You brat, I finally found you a job so you could hold onto it and wait for your younger brother to be old enough to take over. But look what you've done! It's only been a short time, and you've already given up the job you worked so hard for. I'll beat you to death, you worthless piece of trash."

Wang Dedi protected his head, not daring to utter a sound, and silently endured the pain. A boy of about half a year stood to the side, clapping and cheering him on.

“Mother, beat her hard, beat this good-for-nothing to death! She made me lose my job! Beat her to death, beat him to death!”

When it came to work, the old lady exerted even more strength until she ran out of energy and Wang Dedi was lying on the ground barely breathing. Then she stopped. Wang Dedi just lay there in the yard and no one paid any attention to her. The old couple and their son ate and drank as usual.

This is what they mean by "every pitiful person has something hateful about them"!

After everyone had left, Principal Fang first held a meeting with the teachers, emphasizing that they were not allowed to beat or scold students at will. Only then did he ride his bicycle to the commune. After all, Wang Dedi was a person with connections, so it was best to speak to him separately.

Principal Fang wasn't the type to flatter or fawn; otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way from the big city to teach here. He recounted everything in detail without embellishment, stating that their school really couldn't keep a teacher like that, and also expressed the villagers' anger.

Director Pang felt utterly humiliated today. He couldn't believe that the mean and hateful woman Principal Fang had described was actually his sister-in-law, who usually seemed timid and cowardly. This was the cultured, patient, and gentle sister his wife had described.

Director Pang is almost forty, and his eldest son is eighteen this year. He is proud that his wife is more than ten years younger than him. He will not refuse as long as his wife makes a request that is not too outrageous. But he never expected that this time he would almost get himself into big trouble.

It was thanks to Principal Fang and the village chief that he saved face; otherwise, he would have suffered as a result. After that, without the help of this official son-in-law, the Wang family's life became much worse. But that's another story.

Qian Xiao thought she would be nagged by her family when she got home, but she was rewarded with a boiled egg instead.

"Our Erdan did the right thing today. We don't cause trouble, but we can't let people bully us for no reason."

"Grandma, if I do this, all the teachers will dislike me. Are you really not worried? It might even affect my younger brothers."

"What's the big deal? If they don't like it, they don't like it. We go to school to learn knowledge. Whether they like it or not is not important. Your brother is a boy, and he won't let anyone bully him. Grandma thinks you're doing great."

"Eat quickly, talk after you're full."

San Dan and Si Dan patted their little chests and said, "Big sister, don't worry about eating. We're very strong. When we grow up, we'll protect you."

"Alright, alright, your big sister will wait for you all to grow up and protect me. Here, share this egg with your younger brothers. I don't like it." With that, Qian Xiao divided an egg into six portions, giving each of her six younger brothers a small bite.
