Chapter 103 Shi Qiushui Fights
"Hey, Shi Yue, I'm glad you're back. I was just looking for you. Come on, follow me..."
Zhao Hui grabbed Shi Yue's arm and walked out. Shi Yue was confused: "No, Brother Zhao, what are you doing...?"
Why are you in such a hurry? Has something happened?
Zhao Hui: "Fu Qiang called me and said Xiaoqiu and Zhao Ran got into a fight with someone at the martial arts gym, and asked both our parents to come over."
"ah?!"
Hearing this, Shi Yue also panicked. He hurriedly asked, "Who did the two of them fight with? How was the fight? Did Xiaoqiu and the others lose? Did Xiaoqiu and the others get hurt? How are Xiaoqiu and Zhao Ran now?"
Even though he knew that Shi Qiu Shui was almost an adult, Shi Yue still couldn't help but worry. He looked at Zhao Hui anxiously, hoping that Zhao Hui could give him an answer.
Unfortunately, Zhao Hui hesitated for a long time and only said, "I, I don't know the situation either. When I heard Fu Qiang say that they had a fight with someone, I got anxious and hung up the phone..."
Shi Yue frowned and said nothing, but just quickened his pace silently.
Since Zhao Hui didn't know what the situation was, he could only rush over to see what was going on.
Shi Yue and Zhao Hui rushed all the way to the martial arts hall. Seeing Fu Qiang standing at the front desk, Shi Yue immediately rushed over and asked, "Deputy Director, where is my Xiaoqiu? Where is Xiaoqiu now? Is she okay? Is she not injured? Is she not crying? Is she..."
Hearing these questions, Fu Qiang glanced at Shi Yue with an indescribable expression and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoqiu is fine."
Zhao Hui also came over at this time and asked, "What about my Zhao Ran? Is my Zhao Ran okay? He..."
Fu Qiang: "Zhao Ran is fine too."
Zhao Hui: "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay..."
Shi Yue frowned and asked, "Since the two children are fine, why did you call us over?"
Fu Qiang pursed his lips and said, "Xiao Qiu and Zhao Ran are fine, but the child they beat up is in trouble."
"Ah?!" Shi Yue and Zhao Hui opened their mouths wide, already feeling that things seemed to be different from what they expected.
Fu Qiang: "Ahem, well, please follow me in first."
Shi Yue nodded. No matter what the situation was, he had to go and take a look.
Fu Qiang led the two parents to the office inside. The three children who were fighting and the teacher who was teaching at the time were all in the office.
When Shi Yue entered the office, the first thing he looked for was his daughter. His eyes were fixed on Shi Qiu Shui, who had a pouty face and a look of dissatisfaction. He saw that Shi Qiu Shui's hair was messy, and the small flower hairpin on her head was nowhere to be found. The pigtails she had carefully combed in the morning were also pulled loose.
He looked Shi Qiu Shui up and down and felt relieved. Although his daughter now looked like a little lunatic, he looked carefully and found that apart from the somewhat unsightly appearance, Shi Qiu Shui had no injuries on her body.
He turned his head and looked at Zhao Ran beside him. Zhao Ran's condition was better than Shi Qiu Shui's. His body was in good condition and there was no sign of fighting, let alone injury.
Seeing that both children were fine, Shi Yue turned his gaze to the remaining child in the room who was still wiping his tears. He was a chubby little boy with a round face. He was obviously taller than Shi Qiu Shui and Zhao Ran. Shi Yue estimated that he should be one or two years older than Shi Qiu Shui and Zhao Ran.
But the child's condition is not very good now.
His hair was messy, his clothes were messy, and he had two dark panda eyes, but this was not the most eye-catching thing. The most eye-catching thing on him was the piece of toilet paper with bright red blood stains stuck in his nose.
The little boy looked extremely pitiful.
Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, then he moved closer to Shi Qiushui, lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Girl, did you beat that kid like this?"
Shi Qiushui nodded confidently: "Yes, I did."
Shi Yue’s eyes widened.
No, my girl, how can you hit someone and still feel so righteous?
Shi Qiushui didn't feel his father's shock at all, and said angrily, "He deserves a beating!"
Shi Yue: "What's going on?"
Shi Qiushui said angrily, "Xiong Jie bullied Zhao Ran and scolded me, he deserved to be beaten! I don't think I beat him enough!"
Everyone in the office heard her words, and the first person to express his dissatisfaction was the little boy Xiong Jie who was named by her.
He stopped wiping his tears, sobbed and stood up, shouting: "I didn't! I didn't bully Zhao Ran, nor did I scold you, I just, I just..."
Shi Qiushui: "You did! I heard it all! You just grabbed Zhao Ran and insisted that he play with you. When he refused, you called him a freak, a weird kid! You even said that it was no wonder that only a tigress like me was willing to play with him!"
She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Tell me yourself, is this all what you just said?!"
"I, I, I... wow wow wow mommy wow wow..."
Under the angry glare of Shi Qiu Shui, Xiong Jie stammered for a long time and couldn't say a word. Instead, he was frightened by Shi Qiu Shui and burst into tears. Teacher Xiao Xu next to him was stunned for a moment, and quickly took a piece of paper and went forward to coax Xiong Jie.
After coaxing him for a long time, Xiong Jie still didn't stop crying, and then Xiong Jie's mother arrived.
Xiong Jie's mother, with her hair in curly curls and a rather plump figure, swept into the office like a tornado and asked anxiously as soon as she entered: "Teacher, where is our Xiong Jie? Where is he? And where are the kids who fought with him?"
Xiong Jie's mother looked like someone who was not easy to mess with, so Shi Yue subconsciously pulled Shi Qiu Shui behind him. Zhao Hui, who was standing next to him, noticed Shi Yue's actions and quickly pulled Zhao Ran behind him.
Teacher Xiaoxu saw Xiong Jie's mother coming and quickly said, "Xiong Jie's mother, here she is."
She couldn't wait to hand over the kettle that was still shedding tears.
Xiong Jie's mother also saw her child crying. She strode forward and slapped Xiong Jie on the back, saying, "Why are you crying? You fought with others and you think you are right, right? I haven't said anything to you yet, but now you have become successful. You even dare to fight with others. I think you deserve a beating, you little bastard!"
Without waiting for Xiong Jie to react, she immediately pulled Xiong Jie and talked to Teacher Xiaoxu.
"Well, teacher, I'm sorry. Our Xiong Jie was a little naughty, but I didn't expect him to actually get into a fight. I'm really sorry. I'll definitely teach Xiong Jie a lesson when I get back and make sure he knows his mistake. By the way, where is the kid who fought with Xiong Jie? Is he okay? I know our Xiong Jie. He's stronger than most kids. Did Xiong Jie beat that kid up?"
Xiong Jie's mother was very worried about this issue, but the expressions of everyone in the office who heard her words were somewhat embarrassed.
Teacher Xiaoxu bit her lip and said awkwardly: "Uh, Xiong Jie's mother, you don't have to worry. The child who fought with Xiong Jie is fine." The one who is in trouble is your Xiong Jie.
Of course, Teacher Xiaoxu did not say the second half of the sentence directly.
"Huh?" Xiong Jie's mother turned to look at Fu Qiang and asked, "Director Fu, I remember you said on the phone just now that the person who fought with Xiong Jie was a little girl. Is she really okay? Wasn't she beaten badly by our Xiong Jie? Don't be afraid that I will worry, tell me the truth, is that little girl really okay?"
"Mother!"
Xiong Jie felt very aggrieved. He was the one who was beaten and injured, so why did his mother immediately care about the person who fought with him?
Moreover, Shi Qiu Shui was standing by, couldn't his mother take a look for herself to see who was beaten more badly?
Xiong Jie's mother: "Go away, don't you see I'm talking to your teacher? If you have anything to say, just wait a minute."
She didn't even pay attention to Xiong Jie, but looked at Fu Qiang eagerly.
Fu Qiang pursed his lips and said, "Uh, well, don't worry, Xiong Jie's mother, the children who fought with Xiong Jie are really fine. The two children are right behind you. If you are worried, you can take a look yourself."
Xiong Jie's mother turned her head and saw Shi Qiu Shui and Zhao Ran who were safe and sound. Her eyes met Shi Qiu Shui who was sticking his head out from behind Shi Yue and observing the situation curiously.
Xiong Jie's mother was stunned and finally realized that in this fight, her Xiong Jie was not the adult, but the one being beaten.
She glanced at Shi Qiushui and Zhao Ran, then at Xiong Jie, who was obviously a size bigger than both, and felt even more embarrassed...
Fighting with two kids who were clearly younger than me was embarrassing enough, but fighting with two kids who were clearly younger than me, and losing, was the most embarrassing thing ever...
For a moment, Xiong Jie's mother had the urge to leave Xiong Jie here and go away.
But maternal love ultimately triumphed over pride. Xiong Jie's mother took a deep breath and said to save her dignity, "Oh, I'm glad you're okay. I was worried that Xiong Jie might hurt someone else's child. Now I'm relieved."
Seeing Xiong Jie's mother's reaction, Fu Qiang and Teacher Xiaoxu both breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Xiong Jie's mother will not make a fuss about Xiong Jie being beaten.
Those who run martial arts schools are most afraid of trouble caused by the children's parents, especially when there is a conflict between the children. There is already a conflict between the children that needs to be mediated, and when the parents come and make a fuss, it also becomes a conflict. It may not have been a big deal originally, but when it is magnified, it becomes a conflict between two families. They are caught in the middle and are in a difficult situation.
Fu Qiang: "Well, Xiong Jie's mother, Shi Qiushui's father, Zhao Ran's father, since you three are here, I will briefly tell you what happened to the three children today, and why I called you three here."
He said: "What happened is this. During lunch today, Xiong Jie wanted to play with Zhao Ran, but Zhao Ran didn't want to play with him. The two children had a little quarrel because of this. Then Shi Qiushui saw this and went to help Zhao Ran, and the three of them started arguing. Teacher Xiaoxu, who was in charge of the class at the time, noticed this and was about to step forward to separate them, but before Teacher Xiaoxu could go over, Shi Qiushui got angry because Xiong Jie used some inappropriate words to say to her and started fighting. Teacher Xiaoxu had tried her best to break up the fight, but Xiong Jie was inevitably hit a few times. Among them, Shi Qiushui hit him in the nose, which made his nose bleed."
As Fu Qiang spoke, he glanced at the faces of the three parents in front of him. After sensing that their expressions were not very good, he spoke hurriedly.
"After the incident, I asked our martial arts gym's health doctor to check on the three children. They're all fine. Xiong Jie only suffered a minor skin injury, and his nose is fine. But after all, the three of them did fight, so I thought it was necessary to notify your parents about this matter, so I called you here."
Because he was afraid that the parents on both sides would be dissatisfied, Fu Qiang explained it very clearly. The three parents present understood what was going on as soon as they heard it. After hearing what the situation was, the three of them felt a little embarrassed.
Shi Yue felt embarrassed because his daughter hit someone because someone said something to her; Zhao Hui felt embarrassed because his son, a boy, was bullied and had to rely on a little girl like Shi Qiu Shui to fight back; Xiong Jie's mother felt embarrassed because she understood that the source of the incident was her son. If her son had not spoken ill of Shi Qiu Shui and Zhao Ran first, the fight would not have started.
The three parents all lowered their heads, feeling embarrassed for their children, then raised their heads at the same time and spoke in unison.
“Sorry…” “No…” “No…”
Hearing the other people's voices, the three of them were stunned, and then they all laughed. This laugh actually eased everyone's awkwardness. Shi Yue glanced at the other two people and said to Xiong Jie's mother: "Ladies first, you go first--"
Xiong Jie's mother said straightforwardly: "Since Shi Qiushui's father asked me to speak first, then I will speak first."
She said, "Actually, I don't have much to say. I just want to apologize to you two. I'm really sorry. Everything that happened today was caused by my child. If he hadn't started it, there wouldn't have been a fight. So he didn't deserve the beating he got today, and I don't have anything to say."
Hearing her say this, Shi Yue quickly responded, "No, no, no, it's my family who should be apologizing. Even if Xiong Jie did something inappropriate, my Xiao Qiu shouldn't have just attacked him and beat him up like this... ahem, beaten him into this state. I'm so sorry."
Fortunately, he almost said what was in his heart accidentally.
Shi Yue rubbed his nose, then took out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xiong Jie's mother, saying, "This is a small token of my appreciation. Consider it as compensation for Xiong Jie's medical expenses on behalf of my Xiaoqiu. Go back and buy Xiong Jie some delicious food to nourish him."
Xiong Jie's mother quickly refused: "No, no, it's just a minor injury, why are you giving me medical expenses? You are too polite, please take it back quickly..."
Shi Yue: "No, no matter how serious the injury is, I can't just not show any appreciation at all. You must accept this money..."
“No, no…”
"No, you must accept it..."
"Need not……"
"Take it!"
Shi Yue and Xiong Jie's mother pushed and refused for several rounds, but in the end Shi Yue was the winner and Xiong Jie's mother accepted his money.
After Shi Yue finished speaking, it was Zhao Hui's turn. Although Zhao Ran did not fight during the fight, Shi Qiu Shui quarreled with Xiong Jie for his own son after all, so Zhao Hui also stepped forward to apologize to Xiong Jie's mother.
Of course, Xiong Jie’s mother also apologized to Zhao Hui.
After everyone apologized to each other, there was nothing else to say. Xiong Jie's mother thought about it, said hello to Teacher Xiaoxu, and said that Xiong Jie would not attend the afternoon class for the time being. She would take Xiong Jie home to rest. Teacher Xiaoxu readily agreed to Xiong Jie's mother's request for leave.
When Xiong Jie's mother saw that Teacher Xiao Xu had agreed, she grabbed her good-for-nothing son's ear and left. Even after the mother and son had walked a long way away, Shi Yue could still hear Xiong Jie's mother's lion roar: "You little bastard, where did you learn this bad habit? People don't want to play with you, so you scold them? Fine, Xiong Jie, you have a big temper now, don't you? You are still young, and people don't want to make friends with you, so you say bad things about them. Then when you grow up, won't it be even more outrageous? As long as people don't agree with you, you will fight with them? You are really lawless..."
Shi Yue looked down at Shi Qiu Shui and asked for leave from Teacher Xiao Xu.
His daughter is so dirty, she should go home and clean herself up first and go to class tomorrow.
Seeing that Shi Qiushui had asked for leave, Zhao Ran immediately tugged at Zhao Hui's sleeve and said, "Dad, I don't want to go to class this afternoon either."
Zhao Hui was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll ask Teacher Xiaoxu for leave."
He followed Shi Yue and asked for leave from Teacher Xiaoxu.
Teacher Xiaoxu readily approved leave for both of them.
Just like that, Shi Yue led Shi Qiu Shui, and Zhao Hui led Zhao Ran, and they walked out of the martial arts hall together.
Shi Yue raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already past two o'clock. If he rushed back to the factory to work, he would definitely be late. Since he would be deducted money for being late and the same amount of money would be deducted for taking leave, he might as well not go back.
Shi Yue: "Brother Zhao, I plan to go home directly and not go to the factory. What about you?"
Zhao Hui looked down at the time, thought for a moment, and said, "It's already past two o'clock. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. Forget it, let's go home."
Shi Yue smiled and said, "Shall we go?"
"Well, let's go."
As Shi Yue walked, he said to Shi Qiushui, "Daughter, Dad thinks what you did today was a little wrong."
Shi Qiushui pouted, stared with big eyes and said, "What's wrong with me?!"
Shi Yue: "I know that little fatty just said that to you and you're upset, but you can talk back. If he calls you a tigress, you can call him a stinking bitch or a scabby dog, but it's inappropriate for you to hit him. Only the little fatty's mother is reasonable and can talk things over. If you meet someone who won't give in, then it's your fault."
Shi Qiushui snorted heavily and said, "Dad, you don't understand!"
Shi Yue: "Huh? Why don't I understand?"
Shi Qiushui: "I beat up Xiong Jie not because he called me a tigress, but because of what he said about Zhao Ran! He said so many inappropriate things!"
Shi Yue glanced at Zhao Hui and his son out of the corner of his eye and found that they were still some distance away from him, so he leaned over to Shi Qiushui's ear and said, "What did he say about Zhao Ran? Can you imitate him?"
Shi Qiushui whispered, "Xiong Jie said Zhao Ran was a freak, saying he was like a mute and abnormal. The other kids didn't want to play with Zhao Ran, and it was Zhao Ran's honor that he was willing to play with him. He also said that I was the only tigress who played with Zhao Ran, so Zhao Ran would be my lackey..."
Shi Yue's face darkened. He had to admit that what Xiong Jie said was really harsh. Even an adult like him couldn't stand it. It was no wonder that Shi Qiu Shui couldn't help but take action.
Now Shi Yue no longer felt that Shi Qiu Shui shouldn't have fought with the fat boy Xiong Jie. He even felt that Shi Qiu Shui didn't beat Xiong Jie lightly.
Why didn’t his daughter hit him a few more times, so that the little fat boy couldn’t even speak!
Shi Qiushui: "Dad, do you understand now?"
Shi Yue nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "You're right, that little fat boy deserves a beating, but my girl, you can beat him up, but Daddy is telling you, your behavior today is not good."
He imparted his experience to Shi Qiushui: "I'm telling you, this is what you should do. When you hit him, don't hit him on the surface, don't hit him in the face. Pinch him, pinch his thighs. He'll feel pain and be speechless. Also, after you hit him, don't just stand there. Sit on the ground and cry. No matter what others ask you, just cry. And..."
Shi Yue taught Shi Qiu Shui all the shady tricks he had used over the years without reservation. Zhao Hui, who was behind them, heard Shi Yue's words and gave him a look that said "Wow, so insidious".
But he did pull Zhao Ran and said, "Learn well from your uncle Shi!"
Zhao Ran:...?
Shi Yue walked and taught all the way, and soon returned to the slum. Zhao Hui led Zhao Ran back to the backyard, and Shi Yue and Shi Qiu Shui also returned home.
He returned home, closed the door, and waved to Shi Qiu Shui.
Shi Qiushui's eyes widened in confusion: "Dad?"
Shi Yue took out the property certificate that had just been issued this morning from the small bag he was carrying and said, "Come, take a look. This is the property certificate for our new house."
Shi Qiushui: "Wow!"
She came up with bright eyes, opened the property deed, and then exclaimed: "Dad?!"
Shi Yue: “Hmm?”
Shi Qiushui pointed at the three words above the homeowner's name and said, "It's my name?!"
Shi Yue nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, it's your name."
He said, "After I die, these things will be yours anyway. I'll just register them in your name now, and it saves me from going through the paperwork again later."
Shi Qiushui was so touched that she threw herself into Shi Yue's arms like a little bird and said, "Dad, don't talk nonsense. I don't want you to die."
Shi Yue touched Shi Qiushui's little head and said, "Oh, you kid, really... I just said I would die in the future, but I didn't say I would die now."
Shi Qiushui: "That won't work either. I don't want you to die! You can't die in the future!"
Shi Yue: "Hey, you've given me, your father, a difficult problem. How can anyone not die? I, your father, am a human, not a monster. I will definitely die in the future, sooner or later."
Perhaps because of his time-travel experience, Shi Yue was still very open-minded about matters of life and death, but Shi Qiu Shui was not. She hugged Shi Yue and cried, "I don't want Daddy to die", which made Shi Yue look very upset.
Shi Yue was finally at his wit's end, so he resorted to a powerful move: "Since Xiaoqiu is so reluctant to leave Dad, then she must be willing to help Dad wash his stinky socks, right? It just so happens that Dad hasn't washed the socks he took off last night yet, you..."
When Shi Qiu Shui heard this, he immediately let go of his hand.
She turned around without mercy: "Dad, I can't bear to leave you."
Shi Yue: ...
