Chapter 152 Mother-in-law came to school
"I spent so much money to raise you and send you to school, and this is how you learn from me?"
With a bang, the middle-aged man with a mustache kicked Shang Zhen's side knee. Shang Zhen then fell sideways due to his body reflex. Before he fell, he was kicked hard on the shoulder with his leather boots.
With a crisp bang, Shang Zhen's body was kicked far away.
The office was empty, with only the two of them in it.
Watching Shang Zhen stubbornly standing up slowly while holding onto the wall, there was no fear of giving up in her eyes, she just coldly looked at the man who beat her.
Shang Zhen gritted his teeth, his face pale, and he didn't even utter a word: "If you have the guts, beat me to death."
"Okay, you're pretty tough. Did I teach you to hit people like this in school?" As he said that, he grabbed the man's hair and slapped him in the face.
In an instant, blood flowed from the corner of Shang Zhen's mouth.
Fortunately, Wang Liang and the principal arrived.
Ye Xiaomei followed behind him and walked in.
"You are Shang Zhen's father, right?" As soon as the principal sat down, Shang Zhen's father came forward with a smile:
"This child is ignorant. I have already taught her a lesson on behalf of the school. Comrade Principal, I will follow your instructions on how to deal with this matter."
Ye Xiaomei looked at Shang Zhen, whose face was bruised from being beaten, with heartache. The beating she received was much more severe than what she had received as a child.
But Shang Zhen climbed up and sat on the chair, sucked his teeth a few times, and used his tongue to touch the bruised side of his face, looking unconvinced.
"Ye Xiaomei, you live in the same dormitory with her. Tell me what happened." Wang Liang did not listen to the parents' one-sided story.
Ye Xiaomei told the truth, the light bulb exploded:
"The bulb we were using before was not this one at all. I suspect someone deliberately replaced it with a short-circuited bulb and that's what caused the problem."
"Change the light bulb? Who has the time to do that after eating a lot?" Shang Zhen's father immediately glared at Shang Zhen with a vicious look and slapped him on the face:
"Did you do this? I thought you were a well-behaved kid before, how come you became so bad?" He slapped her again.
Shang Zhen's head was hit so hard that it made a loud banging sound. Every time she raised her head, there was a hint of ferocity in her eyes.
Ye Xiaomei wanted to explain the cause and effect, but considering Shang Zhen's intention, it was caused by family affairs. If she told everything, Shang Zhen would have to endure a lot of pressure to go to school:
"Principal, Teacher Wang, why don't you just call the police and let them investigate."
Shang Zhen, Shang Zhen's father, the principal, and Wang Liang were all stunned.
Finally, Wang Liang said, "This is an internal matter of the school. It won't look good if we make a big fuss about it."
"It doesn't look good? Why are you doing it if it doesn't look good?" Shang Zhen's father slapped Shang Zhen again.
Now, the thing she was worried about happened. Shang Zhen stood up on the chair and looked down at her father:
"Hit me again and see what qualifications you have to hit me?"
"Shang Zhen, come down. This is a school. How can you be so unreasonable?" Wang Liang was also shocked. He knew that this guy was a worry as soon as the school started, but he was just skipping classes, not doing homework, and not liking exams. Wasn't the scene before him too ridiculous?
This matter lasted for about an hour in the office. In the end, the principal said that since the school rules were violated, the student would be handed over to the Education Department for punishment.
His grades were not good to begin with and he didn't like studying, so Wang Liang didn't say much.
Just when Shang Zhen was leaving the office, his father kicked him hard from behind.
Ye Xiaomei only felt a person lying beside her. She looked to the side and saw her father had just withdrawn his foot and was still cursing:
"Just like your mother, you might as well die. If you don't study hard, you will be a loser in the future."
"What did you say?" Shang Zhen got up, her eyes full of bloodshot: "Say it again." Her voice was hysterical.
"Shang Zhen, don't get excited." Ye Xiaomei went over and grabbed Shang Zhen's arm. She was very strong and leaned forward as if she wanted to fight with her father. Ye Xiaomei could hardly hold on any longer.
Shang Zhen's father just put his hands on his hips, looking like if you have the guts, come on.
Wang Liang looked obviously troubled and said, "Let's put it this way. If this child can't be corrected at the teaching office, Mr. Shang, you can take your daughter away. This is a key middle school."
After saying this, no one paid any attention to the tense relationship between the father and daughter.
But Ye Xiaomei was thinking that even though she was so impulsive, she had suffered horrible treatment. However, she was able to be admitted to a key university, which showed that she had a solid foundation.
"Shang Zhen, think about it first. You worked so hard to get into a key university. If you get expelled, it will be your own life that will be ruined, not someone else's." Ye Xiaomei wanted to use some force to pull Shang Zhen away.
Shang Zhen looked at her father with hatred in her eyes. Fortunately, someone from the Education Department came and took her away.
Shang Zhen's father took two steps forward, but he didn't expect that what he said to Ye Xiaomei was this: "I think you are quite sensible. Don't associate with my daughter in the future. Be careful not to be corrupted by her."
Ye Xiaomei was puzzled. How could a father help isolate his own child? Shouldn't he be educating and guiding his child properly?
In the next few days, Ye Xiaomei could see Shang Zhen coming to the classroom for classes, but she didn't want to talk to anyone.
As soon as the class was over, I went to the teaching office to do chores. I was specifically responsible for checking the school's illegal records. It could be considered as making amends for my crime and correcting myself from my mistakes.
This time, Ye Xiaomei asked Wang Liang for help again. She also had to study hard because Teacher Wang valued her very much.
When she returned to the dormitory, she could no longer see Shang Zhen. Ye Xiaomei could almost hear the sound of the door opening in the middle of the night.
Ye Xiaomei was half asleep: "Shang Zhen?"
"Hmm." The rustling sound of someone taking off clothes and getting into bed.
"Why are you so late?"
"Checking the dorm."
"There's no need to check the dormitory so late. It's already past eleven o'clock."
"I'm playing poker with someone on the third floor." Shang Zhen said weakly.
"It's already past eleven o'clock. How did you turn on the lights without any lights?" Ye Xiaomei suddenly woke up.
"I've already said that the rules are fixed. Some dormitories can use electricity until midnight."
Ye Xiaomei felt uncomfortable after hearing Shang Zhen's words.
"Actually, I want to tell you that learning is an opportunity." Ye Xiaomei also told Shang Zhen about her family background. It was dark, so she told him the story as if she were telling someone else's story:
"As long as I have this opportunity, I think I will be able to succeed."
Unexpectedly, after four days, Shang Zhen sneered for the first time: "I used to think the same as you, that studying can make you stand out."
"And now?"
Ye Xiaomei's words fell on deaf ears. Perhaps Shang Zhen had too much work to do in the teaching department and was exhausted.
There was no one in the morning as usual. It was Friday again, and Ye Xiaomei was calculating the money she had on her and was unable to stop spending it. On Wednesday, a student found bugs in his food, so the cafeteria was closed for a week for repairs.
Ye Xiaomei recovered and went out of the school gate. It was nice to have a bowl of wontons.
As soon as Ye Xiaomei walked out of the school gate, she was spotted by Wang Lan, and Ye Xiaomei had no time to react.
"Xiao Mei, I finally caught you." Wang Lan hung the cloth bag on her shoulder, threw her arms around and rushed forward.
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank, and she turned around and wanted to run into the school, but she was grabbed by the arm and didn't let go for a moment.
"Come back here and tell me what you think of my Ma family. Do you think of them as a meal ticket to support you and send you to school? And what do you think of me, your mother-in-law? Do you think of me as your old mother who serves you?"
Wang Lan was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She had just arrived in Chaocheng yesterday and had learned the whole situation. She was surprised to see that her daughter had met him in the detention center.
When Ye Xiaomei heard this, she said, "Mom, what do you mean by this? What meal ticket?" Wasn't it her who did the stupid thing first?
What does it mean to use the Ma family as a meal ticket? She has never even touched a man's money.
Who would have thought that in an instant, many young people preparing to go home for the weekend stopped at the school gate.
