Chapter 123 Chen Xin apologizes
Because of Shi Yue's strong request, Teacher Wang had to call Chen Xin's parents over.
While waiting for Teacher Wang and Chen Xin's parents to come back, Teacher Cai took them to the office.
After all, this was not a good thing. There were so many students, parents, and leaders on the playground. There happened to be a sports meeting today, so there were not many people in the office. Teacher Cai led Chen Xin and Shi Yue, father and daughter, into the office.
After entering the office, Teacher Cai asked Shi Qiushui to sit down while rummaging through the desk. "Xiaoqiu, please sit down for a moment. I remember I have a bottle of red medicine here. Let me look for it."
She rummaged around for a while and actually found a bottle of unused red medicine.
Teacher Cai: “Found it!”
She unscrewed the lid and said, "Come here, Xiaoqiu, let me apply some of this red medicine on you."
Shi Qiushui: "Oh, okay."
She walked up to Teacher Cai obediently.
The little girl had fallen for a while. The broken skin on her knee had stopped bleeding, but the red blood that had seeped out had mixed with the dust that seeped out when she fell, making it look dirty. In addition, the flesh near the wound had turned blue and purple, making it look very miserable.
Teacher Cai was stunned for a moment when he saw this. Shi Yue quickly stepped forward and said politely, "Teacher Cai, thank you. Let me do it. Please give me the mercurochrome and I'll apply it to Xiaoqiu. Well, I'd like to ask if there's a place in the office where we can get water. I'll wipe Xiaoqiu's wound first."
Teacher Cai: "Oh, yes, there is one right outside the office door... Oh, let me do it, Shi Qiushui's father, you wait here for a moment, I'll go get some water."
There was a shared washbasin in the office. Teacher Cai went out to get some water, carrying the basin. When she came back, she saw Chen Xin, who was covered in dirt and had several scrapes. She hesitated and asked, "Uh, it might take a while for your parents to come. Why don't you go to the infirmary and get some medicine first?"
Shi Qiu Shui only had one wound on his body, and it was not too serious. Even if he didn't go to the infirmary, it wouldn't be a big problem. But Chen Xin's situation was obviously different.
Chen Xin glanced at Shi Qiushui, unwilling to show weakness in front of her, and said with a firm shake of his head, "No, it's just a small wound, no need for medicine!"
Teacher Cai: “…Okay.”
Chen Xin wasn't a student in their class, so she wasn't responsible for him. She'd only asked him about it out of pity as a teacher. But since Chen Xin had already said he didn't need to go to the infirmary, there was no need for her to worry about it.
Teacher Cai returned to Shi Qiu Shui with the washbasin, and together with Shi Yue, helped Shi Qiu Shui apply the medicine. Seeing Teacher Cai turn and leave, Chen Xin immediately let out a low "hiss" and touched his elbow with a grin.
He just fell to the ground with all his might, and the injury is really painful now!
Chen Xin's parents both work in a machinery factory, which makes it convenient for Teacher Wang to find someone. He was out for a short time and soon came back with Chen Xin's father.
Chen Xin's father probably heard Teacher Wang tell him the reason why he was looking for him on the way here. He walked into the office with a dark face and slapped Chen Xin on the spot.
Teacher Wang and Teacher Cai quickly stepped forward and grabbed Mr. Chen.
"Chen Xin's father, calm down. Don't be so excited. If your child does something wrong, you can talk to him nicely instead of hitting him."
"Yes, Chen Xin's father, let's talk it out. Don't hit the child right away."
Chen Xin's father blushed: "Speak nicely, this little bastard did such a shameless thing, I still want to talk to him nicely, what the hell is there to talk to him about!"
He raised his hand and cursed, "You little bastard! I spent money to send you to school so that you could study hard. I didn't expect that you, a little bastard, didn't learn anything good at school, but learned a lot of bad things. For a sports competition, you actually wanted to knock down a classmate. How the hell can you be so shameless? I feel ashamed after hearing your teacher tell you about this!"
Chen Xin didn't care about appearing timid in front of Shi Qiushui. When he saw his father raising his hand to slap him, he immediately shrank his neck and hid behind Teacher Wang. He shouted, "Teacher, help me! Teacher, help me! My dad is going to beat me to death."
Chen Xin's father let out a "Hey" and laughed angrily: "Okay, you little bastard, your mouth is not in vain. I haven't even touched you a few times, and you want to beat you to death, right? Fine, then I'll let you know what it means to really beat you to death!"
He raised his palm and chased after Chen Xin who was behind Teacher Wang.
Chen Xin "whoosh" and fled to the left, hiding behind Teacher Cai again.
"Hey, you little bastard, you still dare to hide, right? Just wait and see if I catch you or I'll beat you up!"
Chen Xin's father chased after him with a fierce look on his face, but before he could get behind Teacher Cai, Chen Xin ran the other way, and Chen Xin's father chased after him...
The father and son were chasing each other like they were playing a game of chicken in the office.
Shi Yue laughed mockingly. If Chen Xin's father really wanted to teach Chen Xin a lesson, he would not have been unable to catch Chen Xin for such a long time. The reason why he was still playing the game of eagle catching chickens for such a long time was nothing more than acting in front of the teacher and himself.
Shi Yue was too lazy to cooperate with Chen Xin's father's performance and said bluntly, "Chen Xin's father, if you want to teach your child a lesson, you can do so after school when you get home and close the door. But for now, let's get down to business. Just now during the competition, your child deliberately pushed my daughter in order to make my child lose. Teacher Wang should have told you about this on the way here."
Chen Xin's father smiled and nodded: "Oh, yes, Teacher Wang told me about this on the way here."
He said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Chen Xin really went too far this time. Don't worry, I will definitely teach Chen Xin a lesson when I get back."
Shi Yue tilted his ear and waited for a long time, but Chen Xin's father didn't seem to want to speak again.
He frowned. No, is this just a perfunctory apology and that's it?
That’s all?
If Chen Xin's father had asked Chen Xin to apologize to Shi Qiu Shui, Shi Yue would have forgiven Chen Xin. But Chen Xin's father only said this one sentence, apologized and looked away. Shi Yue really couldn't accept it.
He said with a cold face, "Dad Chen Xin, you are really quite interesting. Look at my daughter's leg. Your child pushed my daughter and injured her leg. Your child pushed her and injured her leg. You say sorry, go home and teach your child a lesson, and that's it? No, whether you teach your child or not is none of my business."
Chen Xin's father's face turned pale and blue after what Shi Yue said. He clenched his fists and asked, "So what do you want?"
Shi Yue: "Apologize!"
Chen Xin's father: "Didn't I apologize to you just now?"
Shi Yue: "I'm talking about your child. Ask your child to apologize to my child!"
He glanced at Shi Qiushui and said, "Girl, do you think this is okay?"
Shi Qiushui nodded, but added, "I want Chen Xin to apologize to me in front of the whole school! And he must admit that he made me fall on purpose!"
Chen Xin's father: "You can apologize, but there's no need to apologize in front of the whole school."
He glanced at Shi Qiushui and said, "Little girl, I know you're upset because my child got you hurt, but it's nothing serious. Do you really need to make a scene and let everyone in the school know about it?"
Shi Qiushui: "As for that!"
She emphasized clearly, "I'm fine now because I dodged it and didn't let Chen Xin hit me completely. If I hadn't dodged it, I would definitely be hurt worse than Chen Xin is now!"
Shi Qiu Shui was not exaggerating at all. Chen Xin was falling towards her at that time. If she had not dodged, not only would she have fallen and been injured, but she would also have been a scapegoat for Chen Xin, and her injuries would have been more serious.
Seeing Shi Qiushui and Shi Yue's firm attitude, Chen Xin's father could only look at Teacher Wang: "Teacher Wang, look at this... This isn't appropriate."
He said, "I'm certainly willing to let our Chen Xin apologize to this little girl, but I really don't think it's appropriate for him to apologize in front of the whole school. Yes, our Chen Xin did something wrong this time, but he was just impulsive. If other students knew about this, they would definitely think our Chen Xin is a bad kid. Then they would stop playing with Chen Xin and isolate him. What will we do? Our Chen Xin still has six years of schooling here. He can't be alone like this for the next six years, right?"
Shi Yue and Shi Qiu Shui, father and daughter, curled their lips at the same time. Isn’t Chen Xin a bad boy?
They both realized that Chen Xin's father was really his biological father. Only a biological father could lie like that with his eyes open!
Teacher Wang was actually shaken by what Chen Xin's father said. He pursed his lips, looked at Shi Yue, and said, "Well, Shi Qiushui's parents, I think what Chen Xin's parents said makes sense. Apologizing in front of the whole school is a bit..."
Shi Yue: "Stop, Teacher Wang, I just want to ask you a question. Is this the first time Chen Xin has bullied a classmate?"
Teacher Wang paused.
This is not the first time that Chen Xin has bullied his classmates.
Teacher Wang's eyes fell on Shi Qiu Shui. Not to mention the distant past, let's talk about the recent past. The reason why Shi Qiu Shui in front of him became enemies with Chen Xin was because Chen Xin bullied the students in Class 2.
Teacher Wang was speechless, but Chen Xin's father, confused, stiffened his neck and asked, "What do you mean? When has our Chen Xin ever bullied a classmate before? Huh? When has he ever bullied a classmate? You can't just put the blame on him just because he made a mistake this time, right?"
Shi Yue rolled his eyes. "Who's putting the blame on your child? Don't you know your child once stopped a female classmate and mocked and bullied her? My daughter even fought with your child to protect a classmate. You don't know that, do you?"
Chen Xin's father really didn't know about this. After all, he was just a kid who crawled around everywhere. It was normal for him to get injured. Even if he fought with others outside, it was a common thing. So when Chen Xin came home injured before, he didn't ask what happened.
He lowered his head and asked Chen Xin: "You little bastard, have you ever done something like this?"
"Ah...that..." Chen Xin stammered and couldn't speak.
Chen Xin's father looked at it and saw that there was nothing he didn't understand.
He ground his back teeth and felt a little itchy on his hands. He must have known that he really wanted to beat the child now, not just for show.
But thinking that Shi Yue and the others were still there, Chen Xin's father tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but he couldn't suppress it!
Since Chen Xin had a precedent of bullying his classmates, he couldn't use this as an excuse to refuse Shi Yue's request for an apology.
Shi Yue spoke again at this time: "Dad Chen Xin, I think you really should take better care of your child. There are so many first-grade children in this school. Whose child is like yours? He has only been in school for less than a month, and he mocks and discriminates against the professions of parents of female classmates in other classes. He also takes the lead in isolating female classmates and fighting with classmates from other classes. Now he is even using dirty tricks on his classmates on the playing field. Don't mind if I say something harsh. I really think your child has a crooked mind."
He said: "The child is still young, you still have time to discipline him. If you don't take care of him now, when he grows up, the public security bureau might come to take care of him."
Chen Xin's father had a dark face and an extremely ugly expression.
He wanted to refute Shi Yue's words, go to hell, his precious son was just a little naughty, he was not a bad boy, and he would not go to jail.
But because the teachers were all here and his child was the one who did something wrong, he could only hold his anger and curse Shi Yue's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart before he felt better.
"Yeah, I know. I will definitely educate my child well." Chen Xin's father promised, but immediately couldn't wait to defend his son: "But I still want to explain on my child's behalf. He really doesn't have any bad intentions. At most, he's a little naughty, likes to joke, and sometimes has a quick temper..."
have to.
Everyone present reacted, but Chen Xin's father still didn't realize Chen Xin's problem.
Shi Yue was too lazy to argue with such nonsense. He said directly, "Let's talk about the apology. Chen Xin's father, when will your child publicly apologize to my child?"
Chen Xin's father: "You still need to make a public apology? Can you not..."
Shi Qiushui and Shi Yue were very firm in their attitude: "No!"
Chen Xin’s father: “Well, if it really doesn’t work out, can I pay you some money…”
Shi Yue: "Our family is not short of money!"
Chen Xin’s father: …
You're rich, huh?!
Shi Yue: Hey, it’s really great that I’m rich!
Shi Yue and Shi Qiu Shui were completely at odds with each other, and Chen Xin's father was really helpless. In the end, he had to agree to let Chen Xin apologize to Shi Qiu Shui in front of the whole school.
Shi Qiushui: "And more! I have to apologize to Cao Juan!"
Chen Xin's father: "Who is Cao Juan?"
Shi Qiushui kindly answered his question: "Cao Juan is the classmate that Chen Xin had ridiculed before!"
She complained indignantly: "Just because Cao Juan's family sells stinky tofu, Chen Xin spread rumors about her stinking, saying her stinky tofu stinks, like stinky manure, and even told everyone not to play with Cao Juan!"
Chen Xin's father slapped Chen Xin on the back of the head with a green face: "Where did you learn these words, kid?"
Chen Xin covered his head and muttered, "I learned that from you. You saw the stinky tofu vendor on the street before, and he said the same thing..."
Chen Xin’s father: …
He quickly explained: "No, I, uh, the child is ignorant and talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
Shi Yue curled his lips. It was really true that if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked too. The reason why Chen Xin became crooked was also because of his father.
Chen Xin's father: "Well, apologize, yes, apologize, apologize to Cao Juan. I agree. I will let Chen Xin apologize to Cao Juan later."
Shi Qiushui: "Apologize to Cao Juan in front of the whole school!"
In order to make everyone ignore Chen Xin's words "I learned that from you", Chen Xin's father had no objection. He nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let him apologize."
Teacher Wang: "Okay, that's it. After the sports meet is over, I'll ask the students to stay for a while, and then Chen Xin will go on stage to apologize. Is that okay?"
Chen Xin’s father: “Sure, sure.”
Teacher Wang looked at Shi Qiushui again, and Shi Qiushui nodded: "Okay."
"Okay, let's do this. I'll go talk to the director about this now." After saying that, Teacher Wang hurriedly left the office.
Having achieved her goal of getting Chen Xin to apologize, Shi Qiushui was satisfied. She tugged at Shi Yue's arm and said, "Dad, let's go back to the playground. Xiao Taozi's competition should be about to begin. I promised to cheer her on, so I can't miss it."
Shi Yue looked at Teacher Cai and said, "Then Teacher Cai, shall I take Xiao Qiu back first?"
Teacher Cai: “Yeah.”
Shi Yue and the little girl left the office, and Chen Xin's father also took Chen Xin out of the office. Teacher Cai and Shi Qiu Shui didn't pay attention to where they went or what they did. It was only after the sports meeting that when they saw Chen Xin again, they found that Chen Xin seemed to have a few more injuries on his body.
It was visible to the naked eye that there were several red slap marks on Chen Xin's face.
His walking posture also became strange. Shi Qiu Shui stared at him and felt that Chen Xin's butt seemed to be more raised.
Xiong Jie, who was experienced in taking beatings, pointed at Chen Xin and said, "His butt must have been swollen from his dad's beating!"
Shi Qiushui: "Hmm?"
Xiong Jie: "Believe me, this is what happened to me the last time my mom beat me up!"
Xiao Taozi: "Hey, Xiong Jie, why does it feel like Chen Xin's butt is even swollen than yours last time?"
Xiong Jie: "Well, that might be because it was his father who beat Chen Xin. His father is a man, so his strength should be greater than that of my mother, a weak woman, so his butt was beaten more swollen."
Shi Qiushui: ...
Xiong Jie’s mother, a weak woman?
Thinking of Xiong Jie's mother, whom he had met once before, Shi Qiu Shui didn't think she could be associated with a weak woman.
She held up her chubby chin and offered a more convincing guess: "Xiong Jie, could it be that your butt gets spanked harder than Chen Xin's?"
"ah?"
Xiong Jie scratched his head and said, "That's also possible."
Xiaopang: "That's right, Xiong Jie, you look like the one who got beaten up more often. Chen Xin doesn't look like that..."
Shi Yue: ...
No, how come these kids actually started researching it?
At the critical moment, Zhao Ran was still more reliable. He cleared his throat, pointed at the stage and said, "Chen Xin is on stage."
Shi Qiu Shui immediately looked up at the podium, and sure enough, Chen Xin was already standing there with the microphone in his hand.
At this time, the awards were presented and the principal had finished his speech. The students in the audience were about to leave, but when they saw Chen Xin suddenly standing on the podium, everyone looked confused.
Ah, not everyone is like this. For example, Shi Qiu Shui and others are not like this.
Amidst everyone's curiosity and the anticipation of Shi Qiu Shui and the others, Chen Xin began his apology.
"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Xin from Class 1, Grade 1. I'm here today to apologize to Cao Juan and Shi Qiushui from Class 2. First of all, I shouldn't look down on or mock Cao Juan just because her family sells stinky tofu. I shouldn't insult or take the lead in isolating Cao Juan. I'm sorry, Cao Juan, I was wrong! Secondly, I want to apologize to Shi Qiushui. I shouldn't have maliciously bumped into Shi Qiushui during the game just to decide who wins, causing her to injure her knee. I'm sorry, Shi Qiushui, I was wrong!"
Before Chen Xin finished speaking, some students were already discussing in low voices.
"Ah, just because someone's family sells stinky tofu, you bully them like this, how mean!"
"That's right! How bad!"
"How dare he come up and apologize?"
"He's so bad, we shouldn't play with him anymore!"
The discussion below was getting louder and louder. Chen Xin forced himself to finish his apology, then immediately rushed off the stage, covering his face.
Shi Qiu Shui felt relieved when he heard these discussions. It was Chen Xin who had led people to isolate Cao Juan before. If no one wanted to play with him in the future, it would be his fault!
Moreover, everyone was unwilling to play with him because they knew the bad things he had done, so Shi Qiu Shui didn't feel sorry for him at all!
After letting out a breath of anger, Shi Qiushui turned to look at Cao Juan happily and asked, "How is it, Cao Juan, are you relieved?"
Cao Juan looked up with red eyes: "Xiao Qiu, were you the one who asked Chen Xin to apologize to me?"
"Yeah, that's right." Shi Qiu Shui pulled her pigtails a little confusedly. She thought Cao Juan would be happy to hear Chen Xin's apology, but she didn't expect that Cao Juan didn't seem happy?
Especially when she saw tears in Cao Juan's eyes, Shi Qiushui panicked. She frantically tried to find paper to wipe Cao Juan's tears, but Cao Juan waved her hand and refused. She wiped away her tears herself and said, "It's okay, I'm fine. I just feel happy and relieved."
Shi Qiushui: "Do you really feel relieved? Cao Juan, don't lie to me. Seriously, if you don't feel relieved, then we can just leave the school and surround Chen Xin and beat him up."
Shi Yue: ...
His eyes flashed with light as he stared at Shi Qiu Shui who said he was going to beat someone up.
Shi Qiushui noticed Shi Yue's look, shrank his neck and said, "Uh, I'm just saying, fighting isn't good, so let's not fight. We can talk to Chen Xin and have a good chat."
Shi Yue: What you’d better say is real communication*.
Shi Qiushui: "Anyway, Cao Juan, if you still feel unsatisfied, we can always go find Chen Xin again!"
Cao Juan: "No need, I already feel relieved. And I don't want to have any contact with him anymore. Xiaoqiu, please don't bother with him anymore."
Shi Qiushui: "Yeah!"
In fact, if she hadn't wanted Chen Xin to apologize to Cao Juan, she wouldn't have made the bet with Chen Xin.
She originally wanted to beat Chen Xin in the competition, and then use the bet of riding a horse to exchange for Chen Xin's apology to Cao Juan.
Although Cao Juan didn't know Shi Qiu Shui's plan, she was deeply moved by what Shi Qiu Shui did. She was both moved and distressed.
What makes me sad is that Shi Qiu Shui was injured by Chen Xin.
She pouted, stared at Shi Qiushui's knees and asked, "Xiaoqiu, does your knee hurt?"
Shi Qiushui said honestly, "A little bit."
She bared her white teeth and said, "But if I could eat Aunt Cao's stinky tofu, I might not feel the pain anymore."
Cao Juan smiled helplessly.
She said, "Okay, I'll ask my mom to make stinky tofu for you!"
Shi Qiushui: "Don't forget the fried potatoes!"
