After Zeng Xiang left, Liu Xiaoyuan felt it was necessary to talk to the Su sisters. It was wrong to resort to violence over a disagreement; this was a school, not a place in society.
Su Yun humbly accepted the lesson and said that he would generally not resort to violence in the future.
Su Xue, however, seemed unyielding to any advice, ignoring Liu Xiaoyuan's words and leaving him quite frustrated. This silly woman was so fickle; just a few days ago she was as obedient as a dutiful wife, how could she change like this today? It was truly a headache.
"Su Xue, if you do this, no one in school will dare to play with Su Yun anymore," Liu Xiaoyuan said irritably.
Su Xue said nonchalantly, "If you don't want to play, then you don't want to play. As long as Su Xue has me, that's enough."
Liu Xiaoyuan was extremely frustrated. Seeing that he couldn't persuade Su Xue in a short time, he simply stopped talking.
At this moment, Tan Wanyi found Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Xue and said that Su Yun didn't even know the simplest math problems and pinyin for Chinese, and asked Su Yun how she studied.
Seeing that Tan Wanyi was not an outsider, Liu Xiaoyuan whispered, "Wanyi, actually Su Yun never went to school."
"Ah!" Tan Wanyi was stunned. How could Su Yun have never been to school? Even in some impoverished mountainous areas, children Su Yun's age go to school. How could Su Yun have never been to school?
"Why is that?" Tan Wanyi asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and made up a lie, saying, "It's like this, Su Yun was naughty and didn't like to study when she was little. It wasn't until she got a little older that she suddenly wanted to go to school, so we sent her to school."
“Since she’s never been to school, she should be sent to kindergarten. How can she keep up if you let her go straight to third grade?” Tan Wanyi glared at Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Xue, annoyed. “Those two are really something.”
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "It's not because Su Yun is so old. If she starts from kindergarten, it will be too slow. Don't worry, Wanyi, Su Yun is very smart. She is the kind of child prodigy. I believe she will catch up with everyone very soon."
In response to Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Tan Wanyi could only roll her eyes at him and say, "I will put more effort into Su Yun and will tutor her when I get home tonight."
Hearing Tan Wanyi's words, Liu Xiaoyuan could already foresee Su Yun's future. Every afternoon after school, he would first do Su Yun's homework, and then it would be time for tutoring. After tutoring, it would be time for bed. Therefore, Su Yun would never have time to watch cartoons again.
Oh! Poor child.
"Su Xue, why don't you thank Wan Yi? She's tutoring your sister for free!" Liu Xiaoyuan urged, seeing Su Xue standing there like a block of wood.
Su Xue knew that Tan Wanyi was doing it for her sister's good, so she said thank you.
"By the way, Wanyi, Su Yun has a big appetite, so eating... oh dear, I'll go talk to the principal about it," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan went directly to the principal. When the principal learned that Liu Xiaoyuan was the parent of Su Yun, who had connections, he warmly poured Liu Xiaoyuan a glass of water. Such treatment is probably something many parents have never experienced in their entire lives.
"I wonder what brings Mr. Liu to see me?" the principal asked with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Principal, there's something I'd like to tell you about, it's about my son, Su Yun."
Upon hearing this, the principal immediately said, "Is it about the fight we just had? Please don't worry, Mr. Liu. Children are bound to be mischievous and fight. It's alright, the school won't hold it against you."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Principal, I'm not talking about that. It's something else."
After giving an awkward laugh, the principal asked, "I wonder what Mr. Liu wants to talk about?"
"Principal, it's like this. Su Yun has a rather large appetite. So she might eat a little more at school meals. Please be aware of this, Principal."
When the principal heard Liu Xiaoyuan's words, he thought to himself, "No matter how big a child's appetite is, how much can he eat? At most, he can eat the amount of food that two children would eat. How much could that be? Anyway, the school always has some leftover food every day."
"Oh, Mr. Liu, it's nothing. Children are growing, so it's understandable that they need to eat more," the principal said with a smile.
Finally, the principal personally escorted Liu Xiaoyuan out of his office.
At lunchtime, just as the principal was about to eat, a cafeteria worker hurriedly walked into the teachers' cafeteria and found him.
The principal quickly asked, "Auntie, what's wrong? What happened?"
The aunt said, "Principal, you should go and see. There's a little girl in the third grade who has an unusually large appetite."
The principal immediately knew who the aunt was talking about—it must be Su Yun. The principal said nonchalantly, "Auntie, there's no need to make such a fuss. How much can a little girl eat? At most, she can eat enough for two people."
"No, Principal, that little girl has already eaten the food of three children, and she's still eating," the aunt said anxiously.
The principal was in an uproar. "Wow, he eats so much! Let's go check him out."
So the principal immediately stood up, and Tan Wanyi also put down her chopsticks and stood up.
When they entered the student cafeteria, they saw Su Yun still eating, while the other students stood aside watching her.
"Principal, look, this little girl has already eaten enough food for almost four people, leaving nothing for the other children," the cafeteria worker said, pointing at Su Yun.
Now that living standards have improved, children don't eat much, and schools only prepare a small bowl of rice for students each day, both to save costs and to prevent waste.
Therefore, it's perfectly normal for Su Yun to eat the equivalent of four or five children's meals.
The principal was a bit dumbfounded. Originally, even though Su Yun had a big appetite, she would only eat enough food for two people. He didn't expect that the price would double online. This was simply terrifying.
"Auntie, is there any extra food in the cafeteria? Please give some to the other children." The principal said hurriedly.
The aunt nodded quickly and said yes, then went to get food for the other children.
When the principal saw Su Yun still enjoying her food, he felt sweat beading on his forehead. This little girl could eat so much; her monthly allowance was definitely going to be a loss.
However, this little girl is from a family with connections. What if asking her parents for more living expenses angers them? Besides, I already promised Su Yun's parents today that it's no big deal.
Oh dear! There's no other way. From now on, let's ask the nanny to cook more food every day. We don't want the other kids to go hungry, or their parents will all complain.
