There must be some misunderstanding here.
The younger teacher was quick to smooth things over and try to calm Chu Qinghuai down. Although she knew perfectly well what wrong the bespectacled teacher had done, they were in the same boat at this moment and had to stick together.
She was convinced that there were no security cameras in the classroom and that a few three-year-olds couldn't cause too much trouble.
But Chu Qinghuai was not someone to be trifled with. He was determined to get an explanation today.
"Why are my two children not getting any cookies and having to stand at the back? What did they do wrong? Since you say it's a misunderstanding, please give me a reasonable explanation. My children don't lie."
Chu Qinghuai's expression was icy cold, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms. He was handling the problem like an adult, but in reality, he was on the verge of losing his mind.
More than being angry, he was disappointed that he hadn't noticed anything unusual about his child the day before and had even forced the child to do something he didn't like.
For the first time since becoming a father, he felt frustrated.
The three children sensed their father's negativity and froze, not daring to make a sound. Mumu touched him and softly called out, "Dad."
Chu Qinghuai lowered his head and said to them, "I'll be home in a bit."
His eyes were glistening with tears.
Cai Cai and Xiao He had been standing in the classroom for a long time and were very tired, so they sat down on the floor. Normally, Chu Qinghuai would have scolded them for "the floor is dirty," but now he only felt heartache for them.
The teacher called the principal directly to handle the situation. Several people, including security guards, surrounded the entrance and advised Chu Qinghuai to go to the office to talk. He was unwilling, but why couldn't he stay where he was? It was almost time for school to end, and he wanted to show the other parents how heartless the daycare teachers were.
"I understand how you feel, parent. Can we talk about it in the office? It's not good for the children to be watched here."
"When your teacher was abusing my child, why didn't you think about how it would affect my child?" he retorted, scoffing, "You're kidding me. If you could understand me, you wouldn't have allowed such a despicable teacher to do such a thing."
The moment the word "abuse" was uttered, everyone present wore eerie expressions. This charge was far too serious, because what he said was very likely true, and it was filled with terror and a sense of taboo.
Their teacher's heart was pounding.
Chu Qinghuai doesn't seem like the type to argue unreasonably. On the contrary, he's very reasonable and won't listen to reason.
The principal, having exhausted all other options, decided to make an example of the teacher and questioned the bespectacled teacher: "What exactly did you do? How could a teacher do such a thing to children! You have utterly disappointed me! You have disgraced this profession!"
What was done is obvious to everyone.
The children in daycare are very young and not yet able to speak properly, let alone go home and complain. Basically, the children's parents are very busy with work and consider sending their children here every day as a task to be completed, which makes it easier for these unethical teachers to exercise their "power".
The principal's words were deliberately said to Chu Qinghuai; just listen to them and don't take them seriously.
He entered society very early and had long seen through how evil some people could be, including the various setbacks he himself had suffered. It's not hard to imagine what that person did to his child.
He didn't want to waste any more words and directly dialed Officer Chen's number, asking him to come over.
Those who do wrong will eventually be punished, but Chu Qinghuai still couldn't vent his anger. No punishment could erase the harm his three babies had already suffered, and his heart still ached.
Chu Qinghuai received the returned money, stood by the roadside, typed a message, and sent it to the class group at the daycare center. Two seconds later, he saw that the teacher had kicked him out of the group.
He sneered, composed himself, and took his three children to the supermarket.

When Zhong Wan returned, Chu Qinghuai was cooking in the kitchen. "Where are the babies?"
She hurriedly changed her shoes and only felt relieved when she saw her three children playing with toys in the living room.
She panicked when she saw the message Chu Qinghuai sent to the group chat before leaving get off work. She called to ask what had happened, but he only said he would tell her when he got back.
"I've taken care of everything. Go take a shower first, and I'll explain later."
"good."
Unable to tolerate the germs brought back from outside, Zhong Wan took a quick 20-minute shower, then sat down at the dining table and asked him, "What happened? Who bullied the babies?"
Chu Qinghuai seemed to be in a stable mood. He poured a glass of water and handed it to him, saying, "Cleanse your throat."
He recounted the whole story, including how the teacher subtly punished the child and how she yelled at Cai Cai yesterday, which caused Cai Cai to refuse to go to daycare.
When Officer Chen arrived at the scene and heard about the incident, he was also very angry. He severely criticized the principal, punished him, and took the relevant teachers away.
Zhong Wan never expected the daycare to be so evil. She was so angry that she almost smashed the cup. "How could she do this! Doesn't she have any morals at all?!"
She cursed him as a lunatic, but at the same time, she felt a pang of heartache, thinking that the babies had really been wronged.
Chu Qinghuai comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, the Bureau of Spirits and Monsters won't let her go either. Her life is over."
Zhong Wan didn't care about the bad guys' fate; she only cared about her children and asked them with heartache, "Were you bullied? Are you in any pain? Did someone say anything very hurtful to you?"
No wonder Cai Cai didn't like it there. She should have realized it sooner. If she had asked one more question, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Zhong Wan was extremely frustrated, feeling that she was the most incompetent mother in the world, with terrible taste, having chosen the worst daycare center out of so many options.
She patiently asked the three babies who had bullied them.
The three children had a vague understanding of the concept of bullying and shook their heads, saying no.
Zhong Wan and Chu Qinghuai looked at each other, then Zhong Wan hugged them both and sighed, thinking: They're still too young.
"If anyone does something you don't like to you in the future, you must refuse, understand? Just shout that you hate it, and then come back and tell Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad will protect you."
"Do you understand? No matter what happens, you have to tell Mom and Dad. Promise me."
The three little ones nodded in unison: "Understood."
Zhong Wan squatted down and carefully examined their bodies. She found no injuries and was relieved.
Chu Qinghuai had already given them a bath, and everyone was wearing pajamas and smelled nice. Zhong Wan looked them over and realized something was wrong. "Did Daddy give you these clothes?"
Chu Qinghuai looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your pants are all on backwards."
"Impossible, right?" He walked closer but still found nothing unusual.
Zhong Wan chuckled: "Look for yourself, all three of them are wearing them backwards. I knew they looked uncomfortable."
There are three children in the family. They need to be bathed three times, dressed three times, and have their hair dried three times.
The workload is enormous.
Zhong Wan dressed the children again and noticed that her two daughters' hair was a mess, all tangled up like an afro.
She took a comb and made Chu Qinghuai stand beside her to watch, teaching him how to comb a proper hairstyle so that her daughters wouldn't look like homeless people again.
"Just tie two simple braids, and divide all your hair in half... Hey, be gentle!"
Chu Qinghuai hurt Mumu again, he was too rough with his hands, and he awkwardly touched his nose, "You do it."
"You should learn it too, just in case I'm not home one day."
Where are you going?
Chu Qinghuai's ears were like radar, picking up the keywords and clicking away. He looked at her warily.
"I'm not going anywhere, you should come and learn right away."
"oh."
Finally, because Chu Qinghuai's braid was really too ugly, Zhong Wan waved her hand speechlessly, "Idiot, let me do it."
Cai Cai was sitting on the ground playing with a ball. He didn't even blink when he saw his mother's actions. Zhong Wan teased him, "Do you want a little braid too? Mommy will make you one."
He actually stood up and went over obediently.
Zhong Wan found it funny. Since she was going to braid her hair with one braid or two braids anyway, she picked Cai Cai up and put him on her lap, then braided his hair into a high ponytail.
"So cute, just like a little girl. Our Mumu now has two younger sisters."
Chu Qinghuai was cooking in the kitchen when he heard this and looked up with a smile. Just as he was about to speak, he accidentally cut his finger with the kitchen knife, and bright red blood instantly seeped out.
In the living room, Zhong Wan happily took photos of the babies. After a moment's thought, he covered his bleeding wound with his other hand and calmly said, "I'm injured."
The next second, "It hurts a little."
As expected, Zhong Wan immediately put down her phone and came over to check on him, her face full of concern: "Where are you hurt?"
Chu Qinghuai told the truth: "I cut my hand with the knife."
"Why weren't you more careful? Thank goodness." Zhong Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his finger wasn't bleeding too much. She told him to rest on the sofa. "I'll go get some iodine swabs and band-aids."
Chu Qinghuai's injury caused quite a stir. All three children gathered around him with worried expressions, asking if he was in pain.
"It hurts a lot," he started to pretend.
"Then we'll blow on it for you," Xiaohe suggested.
Mumu and Caicai sat on either side of him, while Xiaohe stood in front of him. Instantly, three cool breezes blew onto his hands, accompanied by saliva.
"Okay, okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, thank you."
Chu Qinghuai took a piece of paper and disgustedly wiped the drool off his hands before waiting for Zhong Wan to come and disinfect them.
The wound wasn't big, but it was on the tip of my index finger, which affected my daily life to some extent, so Zhong cooked dinner tonight.
Zhong Wan didn't want to go through all that trouble, so she simply stewed all the vegetables into a soup, pan-fried the chicken breast, squeezed on some sauce, and that was it. She finished cooking it even faster than Chu Qinghuai usually did.
People who know how to cook will make their food delicious no matter what they do.
Zhong Wan served each child a bowl of vegetable soup and told them, "Eat your dinner well, and Mom will give you cake later."
None of the three had ever seen a cake before. Chu Qinghuai took it out of the refrigerator to show it off, waving it in front of them and tempting them, "The cake is delicious."
Wow~
The children, having learned their lesson from their lack of education, ate a bowl of vegetable soup with an absolutely devout heart for the cake.
