Chapter 110

Qin Dawang saw Lu Haici acting mysterious, and he also became curious. He walked up to Lu Haici with a smile and asked softly, "What happened?"

Lu Haici's little face blushed slightly, and he asked hesitantly, "Brother Dawang, how do you write a self-criticism?" Dawang

was stunned. Could it be that this kid made a mistake and was punished by Uncle Lu? "Did Uncle Lu ask you to write it?"

Lu Haici shook his head and said softly, "No, the teacher asked me to write it."

This matter was a big deal. Being punished by the teacher to write a self-criticism, Qin Dawang felt that it must be a big deal. This kid came to ask him how to write a self-criticism, and Uncle Lu and Aunt Lin definitely didn't know. Qin Dawang thought for a moment and asked in a good tone: "Why did the teacher ask you to write a self-criticism?" He was afraid that he would scare the boy if he was too harsh.

Lu Haici said aggrievedly: "It was Zhang Youcai..." He told the whole story again, "Next time I meet Zhang Youcai, I will definitely beat him up."

Qin Dawang heard the whole story and breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Haici could not be blamed for this. If it was him, he would definitely beat him up. But the teacher's point of view was different from theirs. Although he also thought that Lu Haici was not wrong, from the perspective of an adult, it was still wrong for Lu Haici and his three friends to beat up Zhang Youcai alone. Qin Dawang said: "It's easy to write a self-criticism. Just write down the whole story, and summarize that you have realized your mistakes, and you should ask the teacher for help, etc..." Qin Dawang told Lu Haici how to write a self-criticism.

Lu Haici nodded after listening to Qin Dawang: "I know, thank you, Dawang. Dawang, you can't tell my parents about this." Lu Haici, who was in elementary school, also had secrets that he didn't want to tell his parents.

Qin Dawang said straightforwardly: "Don't worry, I won't tell your parents."

Lu Haici went home relieved after hearing this. But Lu Haici didn't know that Qin Dawang told Yu Xiuyao about this. Qin Dawang felt that he had not broken his promise. Lu Haici only told him not to tell his parents, but he did not tell his mother.

Yu Xiuyao said after hearing what Qin Dawang said, "I will go and tell Qingqing tomorrow morning. Although Haici cannot be blamed for this matter, the child's things in school should still be told to the parents." Taking this opportunity, Yu Xiuyao also taught her son a lesson, "And you, if anything happens, don't hide it from me."

Qin Dawang did not expect that the fire could burn him, and immediately raised his hand to guarantee, "I will definitely not hide it from you."

...

The third grade head teacher of the commune primary school is called Ren Chao, an educated youth who came from the countryside. Because of his good performance, he became a teacher in the commune primary school. Ren Chao is from the Meixiang Production Brigade, which means she is from the same production brigade as Zhang Youcai's family. Zhang Youcai suddenly left today, and Ren Chao didn't catch up with him, so she had to go to Zhang Youcai's house after school. Zhang Youcai's slapping of Hu Xiaolan was a very bad behavior, and she had to tell the Zhang family about it.

At the same time, she also had to tell the Hu family about the beating of her classmate Hu Xiaolan. Ren Chao got a headache when she thought about it. No matter whether it was the Zhang family who taught Zhang Youcai to be this kind of person, or the Hu family who let their daughter go to school, they were not easy to mess with.

Ren Chao thought about it and decided to go to the Hu family first. After all, it was Hu Xiaolan who started this incident.

When Ren Chao went there, the Hu family was having dinner. Seeing Ren Chao coming, the Hu family was very surprised: "Ren the educated youth is here."

The Hu family has several branches, and Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu have many grandchildren, but why Hu Xiaolan can go to school? It's because her brother was born when she reached school age. And each branch of the Hu family can have one child go to school, so Hu's father and mother directly let Hu Xiaolan go to school. Anyway, it will take several years for their son to grow up and go to school. In these years, let their daughter go to school first. When the son reaches school age, if the daughter's grades are not good, then let the son go to school. If the daughter's grades are good, then continue to study. As for the son's tuition, they have been secretly saving money in the past few years, and maybe they can save enough for the tuition.

Although Ren Chao is a teacher at the commune primary school, people in the village are still used to calling her Ren Zhiqing.

Hu Xiaolan was beaten in the morning. After a day, she had long forgotten about it and did not mention it when she went home. When she saw Ren Chao coming, she remembered that she was slapped by Zhang Youcai.

Ren Chao greeted the Hu family and said to Hu's father and mother: "Brother Hu, sister-in-law, this is what happened..." She told the whole story, "This is an accident, but as a teacher, I still want to apologize to you. I will go to Zhang Youcai's house later, and I will persuade Zhang Youcai to apologize to Xiaolan. I hope this incident will not affect Xiaolan."

The Hu family was dumbfounded when they heard what Ren Chao said, because Hu Xiaolan did not say it, so they did not know. Father Hu was the first to react: "Zhang Youcai, this little bastard, dared to hit my daughter, I will beat him to pieces." Father Hu slammed the table, put down his chopsticks, and rushed to the Zhang family. There are many people in the Hu family, and they are never afraid of fighting.

"Brother Hu, don't be anxious, you..."

"Go and fight." Grandma Hu said, "If they dare to slap someone in our family, I think they deserve to be beaten. Son, let's go to the Zhang family to seek justice."

"Auntie Hu..." Ren Chao wanted to say more, but the Hu family didn't listen to her. The Hu family didn't even care about eating, and walked towards the Zhang family.

Ren Chao had no choice but to follow.

The Zhang family was also eating.

After Zhang Youcai ran back in the morning, he told the matter to Grandma Zhang. Grandma Zhang heard that her precious grandson was bullied at school, so she told him not to go to school. She was waiting for Ren Chao to come back in the evening and go to the Youth Office to ask Ren Chao for an explanation. As a result, Ren Chao came, and the Hu family came together.

"Zhang Youcai, get out of here." As soon as Hu's father arrived at the door of Zhang's house, he shouted loudly, "You bastard, you dare to slap my daughter, get out of here."

Zhang Youcai ran into the house immediately when he heard Hu's father's shouting.

Grandma Zhang saw the situation and knew that the Hu family had come. She rushed to the door and asked, "What are you going to do?" She was a little scared. The Hu family had many members, while the Zhang family had only one son for three generations. If they fought, the Zhang family would definitely not be able to beat the Hu family. So Grandma Hu usually used crying, making a fuss, and then hanging herself. It was the same now. When she saw so many people from the Hu family coming, she came to the door, sat on the ground and started crying, "Someone come quickly... someone come quickly... the Hu family bullies people... the Hu family bullies people..."

Grandpa Zhang, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were also in the house. Seeing this, Zhang's mother immediately ran outside and shouted, "Someone come quickly, the Hu family is taking advantage of their numbers to bully people, someone come quickly..."

Seeing this, Grandma Hu also shouted directly in the yard, "Someone come, everyone come, not only did their Zhang Youcai beat our Xiaolan in the commune primary school, he also fought with the son of a military officer. Such troubles should not go to school, someone come quickly..." Naturally,

the Hu family and the Zhang family would not fight. The Zhang family was small, so how could they dare to fight with the Hu family?

As more and more people came to see the scene and heard the Hu family’s story, everyone started looking at the Zhang family differently.

"You guys, Zhang Youcai is so young, but he already beats people. What will happen when he grows up?" Grandma Hu said angrily, with her hands on her hips. Grandma Zhang

said, "You are talking nonsense. It was clearly Hu Xiaolan and the children of the military officers who beat up our Youcai. You should pay for our Youcai's medical expenses."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Ren Zhiqing is here too. She is a teacher. She won't lie. You can ask Ren Zhiqing." Grandma Hu pushed Ren Chao out, "Teacher Ren, you can tell everyone."

Ren Chao always had a headache when facing this kind of situation with the country people. She originally wanted to tell the Zhang family about this matter in private, because telling it in front of everyone would lose the Zhang family's face, which was not a good thing for her as an educated youth in the countryside. If she offended the Zhang family, her life in the production brigade would not be easy. But the Hu family made a big deal out of it, and now there was nothing she could do even if she didn't say anything.

So, Ren Chao told the whole story, "...Auntie Zhang, Zhang Youcai was at fault first, and he should apologize to Hu Xiaolan. He should also apologize to Lu Haici. Lu Haici was buying a gift for his sister, not cheating on her as he said, and he shouldn't say such things at such a young age. Of course, it was Lu Haici, Qin Ming and Ji Yang's fault for taking off his pants together, and I also asked them to apologize to Zhang Youcai. In addition, Zhang Youcai, like Lu Haici, Qin Ming and Ji Yang, has to write a letter of apology and promise that they will never fight again."

Grandma Zhang didn't know there was such a thing as cheating on her, and when she heard what Ren Chao said, her eyes rolled, and she immediately understood that her grandson must have lied to her. But: "Ren Zhiqing, Youcai in our family is filial. Listen, I am an old woman, and when Hu Xiaolan said that, how could I not be angry? You asked Youcai to apologize to Xiaolan and another classmate, but what about Hu Xiaolan? She is a junior and she said bad things about me, an elder. Shouldn't she also apologize to me?"

Ren Chao was stunned. To be honest, as a junior, it was not appropriate for Hu Xiaolan to say such things. But: "Auntie Zhang, the reason why Hu Xiaolan said that is because Zhang Youcai spread rumors about Lu Haici. In the final analysis, it was Zhang Youcai who said the wrong thing."

Grandma Zhang said, "Our Youcai misunderstood his classmate. His classmate can blame our Youcai or explain to our Youcai. But it's inappropriate for a teenager like Hu Xiaolan to talk about me directly, right?"

"Ren Zhiqing, don't worry about this." Hu's father said, "Our Xiaolan talked about her, and I asked Xiaolan to apologize to her. However, Zhang Youcai hit my daughter, and my daughter must hit him back."

"Bah, if you dare to slap our Youcai, I will hang myself in front of your house." Grandma Zhang threatened Hu's father. "You can ask Youcai to apologize, but you can't slap him, unless you want to drive me to death."

"If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. You can't hit your grandson, I'll hit your son." Hu's father didn't accept her threat and rushed in to beat Zhang Youcai's father. When he left, he also said, "If you have the guts, go hang yourself. I don't believe you dare to hang yourself."

After a while, Zhang's father's cry was heard in the house: "Help... Mother... Help..."

"Son... Son..." Grandma Zhang rushed in to save her son, but when she rushed in, Hu's father had stopped beating him.

Zhang Youcai slapped Hu Xiaolan once, and Hu's father slapped Zhang's father twice. He didn't want to go too far, so he slapped him back twice. After beating her, she threatened: "If your son dares to beat my daughter again, I will beat you. I tell you, I dare not use your tricks on me. If your mother really goes to our house to hang herself, I will burn your whole house down and we will all die together."

Hearing this, Grandma Zhang swallowed her saliva. She was just saying harsh words because she cherished her life very much.

Seeing the Zhang family members in such a state of panic, Father Hu snorted and called his daughter outside: "Xiaolan, come here."

"Dad..." Hu Xiaolan came to him.

Father Hu said to his daughter, "Xiaolan, Zhang Youcai hit you, and your father hit Zhang Youcai's father, which can be considered as fighting back. But no matter what, you said something about Zhang Youcai's grandmother. You are a young person and cannot say things like that. So now in front of your teacher Ren, you apologize to Zhang Youcai's grandmother, okay?"

"Yes." Hu Xiaolan said obediently, "I'm sorry, Grandma Zhang, I shouldn't have said that to you."

After his daughter apologized, Father Hu said to Ren Chao, "Ren Zhiqing, you see my daughter apologized, this matter has nothing to do with her, right?"

Ren Chao: "..." What else can she say? "Yes, Hu Xiaolan knows her mistake and apologizes, she is a good student, this matter has nothing to do with her."

When the Hu family heard her say this, they all left in a big way.

After the Hu family left, the people at the door of the Zhang family dispersed, and soon only Ren Chao was left. Ren Chao looked at Zhang's father who was slapped twice, then looked at Grandpa Zhang who was silent, and finally looked at Grandma Zhang. She sighed and said earnestly: "Auntie Zhang, children's education is very important. For children who make mistakes, we should educate them and let them recognize their mistakes instead of covering them up. Otherwise, it will be a small mistake now, but a big mistake in the future. When he implicates his family, it will be too late." Grandma

Zhang pouted and said nothing.

Ren Chao added, "On Monday, I will ask the other children to apologize to Zhang Youcai. I hope Zhang Youcai will also apologize to Lu Haici. Also, Zhang Youcai's letter of apology must be handed to me on Monday... Then I'll be leaving first."

After Ren Chao left, Grandma Zhang rushed into the room: "Youcai..."

Zhang Youcai crawled out from under the bed: "Grandma..."

Grandma Zhang usually loved her grandson, and seeing him hiding under the bed, she was really distressed: "Tell me, what's going on? Did you lie to me during the day?"

Zhang Youcai's eyes were red, and he didn't dare to lie anymore: "Grandma, I..."

"So, you not only beat Hu Xiaolan, but also fought with the three military officers' children?" Grandma Zhang usually cried and made a scene in the village, but she was afraid of the military officers. She was a commoner with a serious mentality and only dared to bully the weak and fear the strong. "No, I have to go to the military officers' families to apologize tomorrow."
