Xia Liang continued hitting and cursing, "I think you're the one who's a good-for-nothing. You've eaten nothing but dog food since you were a child. How can you say such ill-mannered and vulgar things to a child? I think not only your child deserves a beating, but you do too." Seeing the middle-aged woman about to rush forward, Xia Liang pushed Xiao Yunxi next to Zhao Weiting. Just as the middle-aged woman was about to strike her face, Xia Liang kicked her against the wall. The middle-aged man also reacted at this moment. Instead of helping his wife up, he pointed at Xia Liang and cursed, "You shrew, how could you hit someone? Do you know who I am?" Just then, Teacher Mao arrived with the kindergarten principal. Upon seeing the middle-aged man, the principal immediately bowed and scraped, "Director Zhu, what happened?" Seeing the principal's obsequious face, Xia Liang knew that these two were not ordinary people. Of course, their clothing also indicated that they looked like officials, and the man even had a pen in his breast pocket. Upon seeing the kindergarten director, the middle-aged man said impatiently, "Director Zhang, how come your kindergarten accepts just any student? Not only did this little kid fight with his classmates, but this parent is also a shrew. Like mother, like daughter! With the quality of your kindergarten, do you even want to continue operating?" Director Zhang trembled even more upon hearing this. If this incident caused the factory kindergarten to be unable to continue operating, and the children of factory workers had to go to other factories to attend school, wouldn't she be in big trouble? This man in front of her was from the Education Bureau; she absolutely couldn't afford to offend him. He looked at Xia Liang and said, "Comrade Xia, these are all classmates. How could your child hit someone? And you, look, you even hit Director Zhu's wife! This is unacceptable. As a member of the factory, although your professional skills are good, it's one thing if you don't think about the factory, but how can you cause trouble? Quickly apologize to Comrade Zhu and his wife." Hearing this, Zhu Liwen cast an admiring glance at Director Zhang, then looked at Xia Liang with disdain, his head held high as if waiting for Xia Liang to apologize. Zhu Liwen's wife, Li Birong, snorted coldly and looked at Xia Liang, saying, "Today's matter cannot be resolved with an apology. I will make you pay the price. Shouldn't Director Zhang fire an employee like this to cause trouble for the factory?" Director Zhang thought to herself: Whether or not to fire him is not up to me! But he still tried to smooth things over, saying, "Comrade Li, this Comrade Xia is an advisor handpicked by our factory director. The factory can't do without her." Li Birong scoffed, "Advisor? What can a woman do? Does she have some shady relationship that led to her appointment?" As he spoke, he looked at Xia Liang with disdain, as if he were looking at something dirty. Xia Liang coldly looked at her and said, "Shut up if you don't want to get beaten. Also, make your grandson apologize to my daughter." Zhu Liwen laughed mockingly, as if he had heard a big joke, "Who are you? Who am I? Can you accept my apology?" Hearing this, Xia Liang perked up and raised an eyebrow, "Oh! Then who is this person? Tell me so this commoner can see." Seeing Xia Liang's stubbornness and lack of remorse, the regimental commander Zhang became angry and said, "Comrade Xia Liang, don't push your luck. Director Zhu is not someone you can afford to offend. If the factory can't run the school because of you, even if the factory director wants to protect you, the other comrades won't agree. In that case, do you think the factory director will choose you or the masses?" Xia Liang was so angry that she laughed and asked, "You mean if Director Zhu is unhappy, the factory's school can't continue to operate? Is that right, Director Zhu?" Liang looked at Zhu Liwen, but before he could speak, his wife Li Birong said, "Yes, as long as my husband gives the order, your garment factory's school will be shut down! Humph! Don't you know your own limitations? You dare to mess with me? Today you'd better kneel down and kowtow to me to admit your mistake, or you can expect to be expelled!" Before Xia Liang could speak, a majestic voice came from outside: "Such a powerful official! I want to see who this person is, daring to speak so arrogantly." Everyone looked at the speaker and saw a middle-aged couple who appeared to be cadres. When Xiao Yunxi saw her grandparents, she ran over to her godmother and hugged Gu Weiguo's leg, saying, "Grandpa and Grandma, you've come to pick up your little darling?" Gu Weiguo picked up his granddaughter and said kindly, "Yes, my little darling, Grandpa has come to pick you up. You stay with your grandma for a while, Grandpa has some things to take care of." Xiao Yunxi nodded obediently, and Han Yulan took her granddaughter and held her in her arms. Zhu Liwen, who was standing to the side, had already turned pale. He had a bad feeling from the first moment he saw Gu Weiguo. After all, it was impossible for the secretary to come to a kindergarten in a garment factory for no reason. But when the little girl who had just fought with his grandson came up and called him grandpa, Zhu Liwen knew that he was doomed.

Gu Weiguo looked at Zhu Liwen and said, "Which department are you from? How dare you bend the law for personal gain and oppress the people?" Zhu Liwen, changing his previous arrogant attitude, braced himself and said, "Secretary, I'm from the Ministry of Education. My name is Zhu Liwen, you can just call me Xiao Zhu." Gu Weiguo looked at his daughter-in-law and asked, "What just happened?" Xia Liang explained the whole story and then asked the stunned Zhu Liwen, "Director Zhu, am I right?" Zhu Liwen nodded vigorously, "Yes, Comrade Xia is right." Gu Weiguo frowned and said, "Then I just heard your wife say that my daughter-in-law had to kowtow..." "What's this about her kowtowing and apologizing?" Li Birong realized she'd messed up and quickly stepped forward to explain, "Secretary Gu, please forgive us! We really didn't know Comrade Xia was your daughter-in-law! If we had known, we wouldn't have dared to say that!" Gu Weiguo, however, became even angrier, shouting, "What? You know she's my daughter-in-law, so you don't dare make her kowtow and apologize? If she were an ordinary person, this wouldn't be over, would it? Fine, I understand. I'll take good care of you, Director Zhu." With that, he took his granddaughter from his wife and went home. Xia Liang said goodbye to Zhao Weiting and also went home.

On the way home, Xia Liang kept thinking about what she had done wrong today. She shouldn't have argued with someone in front of her little one; what if it had a bad influence on her? Just as she was thinking about how to talk to her daughter, the little one looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Mommy, you were so amazing today! And Grandpa was amazing too." She then kissed Gu Weiguo on the cheek. "I want to learn from Grandpa and Mommy in the future." Han Yulan, standing nearby, felt a pang of jealousy: "What? Grandma isn't amazing? Don't you want to learn from Grandma?" The little one, despite her young age, was a master of balancing things, kissing her grandmother on the cheek and saying, "I want to learn from Grandma." Han Yulan couldn't help but laugh, playfully pinching her little nose and saying, "You little rascal."
