Give her a disciplinary action
On Monday, Nanqi rushed to finish her homework as soon as she entered the classroom, or rather, she copied it. She did math and physics at home, while Li Jia did Chinese and English. Back in class, the two of them copied each other's work. This was a tacit understanding they had maintained for a long time.
"Nanqi, Li Jia, Duan Peng, Teacher Xue wants to see you in the office," said class monitor Zhang Hu.
The two had only copied halfway through when neither was willing to stop. Seeing that they weren't moving, Duan Peng simply stopped moving as well.
Nanqi was writing furiously when suddenly someone snatched the test paper away, forcing her to make a long stroke of the pen before she had even finished writing half of her sentence.
She angrily said, "Who the hell doesn't grow..." Looking up, she saw Xue, the homeroom teacher and English teacher.
Xue snatched their homework from them and demanded, "Is this how you two do your homework?"
"Let's learn from each other, teacher," Li Jia said with an awkward smile.
"Alright, go to my place and learn from it."
The three of them pursed their lips and followed him out dejectedly.
"Stop looking at that, keep reading!" the class monitor shouted.
Upon entering Xue's office, Nanqi saw Zhang Bing, the director of education, and Song Zhao. An elderly woman was also sitting next to her, and she immediately felt uneasy.
"Teacher, it was these three who beat my daughter!" Fang Ping stood up excitedly and pointed at them.
"Parents, please don't get agitated. Rest assured, our school will not cover up anything once the investigation is complete," Zhang Bing said.
"I'm asking you, were it the three of you who ran into Class 2's classroom and challenged Song Zhao to a fight?"
“No,” Nanqi said confidently.
"Give me another one?" In Zhang Bing's eyes, her denial was no different from sophistry.
"It's me and Duan Peng, the two of us."
"two…"
Zhang Bing snapped out of his daze and was immediately enraged by her wordplay, raising his voice, "Speak properly! Haven't you caused enough trouble already?!"
"I explained it clearly, there are indeed two people," Nanqi said dismissively.
Seeing Zhang Bing's eyes blazing with anger, Xue quickly said, "Director, please calm down. Let me ask him."
She first scanned the three of them with her eyes and asked, "After school, did the three of you beat up Song Zhao together?"
The three looked at each other. Duan Peng and Li Jia exchanged glances and looked around before finally focusing their attention on Nan Qi.
"Look me in the eyes and answer honestly!"
Nanqi pursed her lips and said with a forced smile, "It has nothing to do with the two of them. I beat her up by myself."
"You're quite the hero!" Zhang Bing jumped up from his chair in anger. "And you did it all by yourself!"
"Director, calm down, calm down." Xue walked over and gently patted Zhang Bing's back to comfort him.
"Teacher Xue, you don't need to ask anymore. It was those three who beat my daughter. Look at her hair, and her body... there's not a single good spot on her body," Fang Ping cried, tears streaming down her face.
Song Zhao also snorted, raising her eyebrows and saying aggrievedly, "Teacher, they waited for me at the school gate as soon as school was over. I remember it very clearly, it was the three of them..."
Upon hearing this, Nanqi immediately became agitated, "What do you remember? I'm telling you, it's just that I don't like you, and I'm the one who wants to beat you up!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Bing roared, grabbing her ear. "Come with me!"
Zhang Bing dragged her all the way into his office before letting go and closing the door behind him.
He sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Do you even want to graduate?!"
Nanqi rubbed her ear, feeling that this ear was cursed, always getting bitten or pulled, so she replied irritably, "I didn't say I didn't want to."
Zhang Bing's emotions, which had just calmed down, were reignited by her. "Speak properly!"
Startled by his voice, Nanqi honestly replied, "Yes."
"I'm telling you, if you keep doing this, I'll..."
“Tell my mom.”
"Yes, I'm not only going to tell your mom, I'm also going to punish you, and I'll punish you first, then tell your mom."
“I accept the punishment you give me, and I also accept telling my mom. But you don’t need to tell my mom about the punishment I give you.”
"Hmph, you little pampered lady, you know fear now?"
Nanqi pouted.
"Tell me honestly, what exactly happened?"
"Like I said, I didn't like her, so I beat her up. Duan Peng and Li Jia were there to back me up. One of them is a weakling and the other is a coward. They wouldn't dare to lay a hand on someone."
"You!" Zhang Bing pointed at her forehead and asked, "Song Zhao studies hard in the classroom every day, what did she do to offend you?"
"She stole my boyfriend."
"You're still dating?!"
"No, I broke up with her. I broke up with her because she took him away from me."
Zhang Bing didn't have time to deal with her other matters right now. He said earnestly, "Let me tell you, go out and apologize to them properly, beg them sincerely, and I'll put in a good word for you. Maybe they'll take pity on you and let you off the hook."
"Apologize? Why should I apologize? She stole my person, and I should apologize to her?"
"Damn it, if we weren't in school, I'd really want to punch you." Zhang Bing felt like he'd lose three years of his life just from hearing her say that. "Do you even know you hit someone? If you weren't a student, you'd be locked up already!"
"Then lock me up, I'm not apologizing anyway."
"I really don't know where you got your stubbornness from. Let me tell you, I've already called your mom. When she gets here, you're in for a beating."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wu Hua stormed into the director's office, and Xue □□ behind him couldn't stop him. "Director, Nanqi's mother has arrived..."
The moment Nanqi saw her mother, her hair stood on end, and she froze on the spot, her previous arrogance instantly extinguished.
"Sister-in-law, this child is really insensible," Zhang Bing said.
"She got into another fight, didn't she?" Wu Hua's voice trembled with anger.
"Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive. It's normal for kids to fight; they need to be guided properly..."
"How old is she? Still acting like a child! If you didn't always protect her, would she be so lawless?"
"No, how did this happen to me again?" Zhang Bing said in frustration.
Faced with her mother's murderous expression, Nanqi trembled and called out, "Mom..."
"You still have the nerve to call me Mom?!" Wu Hua said, panting heavily as she held her back. "Go out and apologize to them first, then I'll deal with you when we get home."
Nanqi said awkwardly in a low voice, "I'm not going."
Before she could react, a resounding slap landed on her face, leaving a trace of blood and a metallic taste in her mouth.
Zhang Bing intervened, saying, "Teacher Wu, this is a school; our priority should be education."
Wu Hua's main job is a primary school Chinese teacher, and he has also served as a homeroom teacher. He has received the title of outstanding teacher, but he cannot teach Nanqi well and his parents are often called in by the school.
"I'm here today to teach her a lesson. Are you going to apologize or not?!"
Wu Hua's actions attracted a crowd to the door, including Song Zhao and her daughter.
Nanqi looked shocked, covering her burning face, and said with a mixture of shame, anger, and grievance, "Mom, you can hit me however you want at home, but why did you hit me at school?!"
"You still have any shame? You've already completely disgraced me! You either go apologize to me, or I'll beat you to death right here!"
As she spoke, Wu Hua forcefully broke free from Xue and Zhang Bing, and kicked Nan Qi to the ground. Nan Qi covered her head, buried her face in her school uniform jacket, and silently endured the beatings from her mother.
Even though it hurt terribly, she didn't want to cry out, afraid that others would see her pathetic and weak state.
After being pushed down by that force, Xue and Zhang dared not stop them anymore.
People outside were jeering, some surprised, some mocking, clearly all wanting to see her make a fool of herself. Nanqi was so ashamed that she begged for mercy in pain, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I apologize, isn't an apology enough?"
“The child said she apologized,” Zhang Bing quickly stepped forward to remind her.
Wu Hua then stopped, and Xue took the opportunity to help Nan Qi up and bring her to Song Zhao. Nan Qi finally said those three words reluctantly: "I'm sorry."
Duan Peng and Li Jia also rushed over to apologize to Song Zhao, "We're sorry, we were wrong."
Zhang Bing dispersed the onlookers, smiled, and invited Song Zhao and her daughter in, saying, "Song Zhao's mother, look, the children have apologized, and their parents have criticized and educated them. I believe they will never dare to bully Song Zhao again."
Fang Ping looked at Song Zhao, clearly waiting for him to make a decision.
Song Zhao dropped her pitiful demeanor, her gaze turning cold as she calmly said, "Director, she only said 'I'm sorry' to you in front of you. What should I do if she tries to attack me again when you're not around?"
Nanqi retorted angrily, "What do you mean by that? When did I say I was going to lay a hand on you again? You did something wrong and offended people, don't blame everything on me."
"Shut up!" Wu Hua said sternly. She glared at Nan Qi, scolded her, then turned to Song Zhao and took her hand, saying with a flattering expression, "You must be Zhao Zhao. You seem like a good child. I'm so sorry you've been wronged. This whole thing is Nan Qi's fault. Tell your aunt how you can forgive her?"
Song Zhao smiled impatiently, clearly not appreciating the "friend zone" treatment. "Actually, I didn't intend to do anything to her; just handle it according to school rules." After saying that, she silently withdrew her hand.
"This...we really have to give her a punishment." Zhang Bing looked troubled and frowned.
