Chapter 242 (Third Update) The First Time My Parents Were Called In...
Tang Mingli guessed correctly.
The next second, Fu Yu vividly described how she did it.
“The other children didn’t dare to say anything, but I bravely stood in front of a few bad classmates, opened my arms, and shouted, ‘Don’t hit the cat!’”
"Well done!" Fu Cheng'an praised his granddaughter excitedly, "She truly is a child of the Fu family. None of our children, whether male or female, are cowards."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu's mother rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Shut up! Are you trying to encourage Xiaoyu to fight with those bad kids at school?"
Fu Yu asked in amazement, "Grandma, how did you know I got into a fight with those bad kids?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng'an could no longer laugh.
Several adults immediately rushed to the child's side, anxiously checking her for any injuries.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the child's clothes were indeed much dirtier than usual today, but thankfully, the child was not injured.
The thought of her beloved granddaughter being bullied at school breaks Fu's heart.
This heartache had nowhere to go, so she vented it all on her husband.
"It's all your fault. You always tell Xiaoyu about your great achievements in the army, and Xiaoyu has learned from you..."
Madam Fu tugged at her daughter-in-law's clothes, signaling her not to continue.
Only then did Fu's mother regain her composure and realize that her actions might frighten the child. She quickly calmed herself down and returned to her usual kind and gentle demeanor.
Tang Mingli also spoke up to calm her agitated mother-in-law: "Mom, don't be too nervous. It's probably just playful fighting, and the kids have made it sound like a fight. If it were a real fight, how could Xiaoyu, who was alone, be completely unharmed against several others?"
"You're right." Mrs. Fu nodded vigorously. "Mingli, you still have to stay calm."
Where did you calm down?
Tang Mingli smiled wryly; in fact, her mind was buzzing right now.
Which mother wouldn't get a headache hearing her child say they got into a fight at school, especially if it's a girl who took on several people?
Fortunately, no one was injured this time.
But what about next time?
She felt she had neglected her daughter's education in this area, and that she would have a good talk with him when she got home that evening about what to do if their daughter encountered this situation again.
But I won't be back until tonight.
Now all she can do is have a good talk with her daughter.
How should we talk about this?
For the first time since coming into this world, Tang Mingli felt somewhat helpless when faced with a situation.
The adults' reactions finally made Fu Yu realize that something was wrong.
She gradually calmed down from her previous excitement and asked in a low voice, "Are you unhappy that Xiaoyu fought with the bad classmate?"
"No, that's not what we meant," Tang Mingli quickly denied, trying to soothe her daughter's young heart. "We were just worried that Xiaoyu wouldn't be able to beat those bad classmates, and what if she got hurt?"
"That's what I was worried about." Fu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately raised her chin proudly. "Mom, don't worry, I won. None of them could beat me."
That proud little face... Tang Mingli almost fainted. Wasn't she usually quite talkative? How come she was making more and more mistakes when it came to educating her daughter?
She had to tell herself to stay calm again.
calm.
We need to find out how our daughter 'won'.
With her small arms and legs, and not being a naturally strong woman, how could she possibly defeat several opponents?
She still insisted that her daughter should have said "playing around."
Taking a deep breath, Tang Mingli asked, "Sweetie, can you tell Mommy how you 'fought' with those classmates?"
“That’s what I did.” Fu Yu suddenly raised her fist, which was smaller than an egg, and punched them repeatedly. They cried loudly and ran back to their own classrooms.
He added at the end, "Those few cowards."
Judging from his tone of voice, who could say they didn't want to pay Fu Cheng'an?
Fu Cheng'an was so ashamed that he couldn't face his daughter-in-law.
Tang Mingli was also speechless.
So, it was the daughter who unilaterally threw a punch at the other person?
Why did my vision go completely black the moment I breathed a sigh of relief?
"Honey, I know you're very brave, but next time something like this happens, please don't do it this way, okay?"
Fu Yu countered, "Mom, what should I do?"
"You can... report to the teacher."
Tang Mingli realized that, like most parents, when her child encountered problems at school, all she could think of was reporting it to the teacher.
Fu Yu hummed in agreement and said, "A classmate reported it to the teacher, and then the homeroom teacher found out. She called me to her office and asked me to tell my mom to come to the school to see her this afternoon. Mom, does the teacher want to praise me to you?"
Tang Mingli was dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, her child was arrested by the parents less than a month after starting school.
Her daughter looked at her with bright, sparkling eyes, full of the innocence and ignorance that belong to that age.
It's hard to say whether it is or isn't.
"Well... Mom won't know until she meets the teacher this afternoon."
"Mm." Fu Yu understood, but she felt that the teacher should praise her, since there were very few children as brave as her.
The naive student, unaware of what it meant for the teacher to call the parents, still enjoyed his lunch immensely.
However, the adults who understood the truth found the meal particularly unpleasant.
After dinner, Fu Yu changed into her own pajamas and lay in bed waiting for her mother to come and take a nap with her.
However, after waiting for a while, his mother still did not come in.
She was a little anxious, so she immediately got out of bed and ran to the living room.
"Mom, aren't you going to sleep?"
Tang Mingli rubbed her throbbing forehead and told her daughter a white lie.
"Mom isn't sleepy today."
"Mom isn't sleepy?"
This was quite unexpected for Fu Yu.
However, she was a little sleepy, so she yawned and turned to go back to her room.
As she passed by the empty room, she was surprised to find that the room had been cleaned up, with pink sheets and blankets, and many of her dolls on the cabinet.
"Mom, is this room for me to sleep in?"
"Oh." Tang Mingli had lost the enthusiasm she had when tidying the room that morning, and said listlessly, "Yes, this is what Mommy tidied up for the baby to sleep in."
"Yay! I love it!" Fu Ci jumped up excitedly and asked her mother, "Can I sleep here starting at noon today?"
"sure."
"That's great!" Fu
Fu Yu happily entered her own room, lay down on her own bed, covered herself with a pink quilt, and slept soundly.
After she fell asleep, the adults were more willing to talk.
With a worried look on her face, Fu's mother asked her daughter-in-law, "What should we do? The teacher called you over, and it's highly likely that she's going to criticize Xiaoyu for fighting."
She originally meant to say "hit someone," but due to her own selfishness, she said "fight."
Tang Mingli didn't know what to do either; it was the first time she had encountered something like this.
Only through personal experience did I realize that parents have an innate sense of awe towards teachers.
"Let's play it by ear. When we get to school, let's hear what the teachers have to say."
It wasn't that she was biased towards her daughter; it was because those children threw stones at the stray cat that her daughter's sense of justice flared up, leading her to do such a thing.
Of course, she knew that her daughter's punching was wrong, and she would apologize when necessary, but she would never accept that all the blame be placed on her daughter.
Once she understood her bottom line, Tang Mingli was no longer so panicked.
The agonizing wait passed by in the middle of the day.
When it was time to take her daughter to school, Tang Mingli had to go in with her this time and was about to receive a reprimand from the teacher.
Fu Yu, who knew nothing about everything, was still happy that her mother could come to school with her.
After entering the school, my daughter quickly saw her classmates and happily walked hand in hand with them to the classroom.
Tang Mingli watched her daughter's back for a while before turning around and heading to the teacher's office without hesitation.
She visited the teacher's office when registering her daughter and quickly found her daughter's homeroom teacher.
My daughter's homeroom teacher's surname is Wu. She is in her forties and has more than 20 years of rich teaching experience.
When Tang Mingli approached Ms. Wu's seat, she politely greeted her as "Ms. Wu".
Ms. Wu recognized this beautiful parent and, upon seeing her, immediately greeted her warmly, "Mrs. Fu Yu, you've come so early."
Tang Mingli lowered her head and said, "Have Xiaoyu tell me to come over this afternoon, and I'll come with her."
"Oh, yes, I asked Xiaoyu to tell you to come over this afternoon, but it doesn't mean you have to be there before school starts."
With a smile, Teacher Wu pulled over a chair from the teacher's office next to her and asked Tang Mingli to sit down.
“Fu Yu’s mother, sit down, let’s sit down and talk.”
"good."
Tang Mingli sat down.
Teacher Wu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"You should already know that Fu Yu hit a classmate at school this morning."
Tang Mingli nodded. "Xiaoyu went back and told us what happened."
He then recounted what he had heard from his daughter to the teacher and asked her to confirm, "I don't know if this is the correct account?"
Ms. Wu smiled and nodded, "Fu Yu is very honest, that's definitely true."
Seeing that Tang Mingli was nervous, Teacher Wu smiled and said, "Fu Yu's mother, don't be nervous. The reason I called you here today is because Fu Yu hit a classmate at school, but it's not entirely her fault."
Hearing this, Tang Mingli breathed a small sigh of relief.
It seems she watched too many news stories about discord between teachers and parents in her past life, making her overly anxious.
Ms. Wu is not an unreasonable person, nor is she a parent who reacts with excessive pride.
"Fu Yu is very brave and has a strong sense of justice, these two points are beyond doubt."
Tang Mingli nodded.
"But her behavior was still too dangerous. She didn't realize that she was still very young and her ability to resist danger was still very low. Luckily, she encountered a few very timid older students this time, and they were so scared that they ran away as soon as she made a move. If she had encountered someone else who was braver, Fu Yu would definitely have suffered."
Tang Mingli nodded vigorously, her head bobbing as if she were pounding garlic.
"Teacher, you're absolutely right. I was just as worried when I first heard about this."
"Since we're on the same page, I won't say anything more. I hope that you parents, while loving your children, will also cultivate their sense of crisis."
Tang Mingli nodded again.
...
That afternoon, Tang Mingli stayed in the teacher's office for nearly an hour, nodding countless times.
She felt a great sense of relief after leaving the school.
Things weren't as terrible as she thought.
She was truly terrified by the news she had seen in her past life.
At this time, most teachers and parents are tolerant of the children's fighting.
However, after this incident, she has realized that she has not done enough in educating her daughter in this regard and must make up for it.
