The chopsticks suddenly fell to the ground.
Li Yan's fingers were stiff, her eyes welled up with tears, and her fear was mixed with a hint of pitifulness. She stammered, "Teacher Ming, no, Mr. Ming, please let my daughter go..."
Mingyue poked a piece of chicken cutlet into her mouth, her eyes sparkling. "Teacher Li, I really admire your teaching methods. I searched for a long time to find an attitude towards students that is the same as yours. As your child, I think I would like those teachers as much as you do, right?"
Li Yan was speechless, wiping away the cold tears on her face haphazardly. With trembling hands, she finally managed to open her phone, her fingertips just touching her "husband's" contact information.
Then she heard a cheerful voice from the other end of the line, "Teacher Li, you can't drop out of school, because this is the only school that's willing to accept her."
Li Yan looked up, her phone slipping from her hand, and stared at Mingyue in disbelief.
The image of her attitude towards Yunduo vividly appeared in her mind. She was like an observer, watching the child look at her with hopeful eyes, only to be rejected time and time again, until the light in the child's eyes went out.
As a teacher, she witnessed this autistic child come to the school. She was more well-behaved and exceptionally intelligent than other autistic children.
She had witnessed firsthand how this child was treated in class, but those people were giving her so much that she couldn't help but be tempted...
Later, she discovered that the child had an extremely high tolerance for stress, and she took a chance, thinking that the child wouldn't care.
Anyway, when money is lost, there are fights, or valuables are stolen in class, someone always has to take the blame. Yun Duo doesn't try to deny it, so they just keep forcing her to apologize.
At first, she apologized in a letter, then at a school-wide assembly, and finally she knelt outside the corridor repeatedly saying that she was wrong.
The thought of all this made her want to vomit blood. How could her child have to suffer like this?!
"Mr. Ming, please don't target my daughter. She's still young, she can't take it! Come at me, I'll resign and leave this city, I won't get in your way!"
"Teacher Li, is that really what you think?"
Li Yan bit her lip and nodded repeatedly.
"Then please kneel down at the school assembly and reiterate the harm you caused to Yun Duo and sincerely apologize. You know I'm a kind-hearted person, and once I promise, I won't change it."
Mingyue finished her chicken cutlet rice without realizing it, then switched to the pork trotter rice next to it, speaking as casually as if she were discussing whether it would rain tomorrow.
Li Yan's pleading expression froze on her face, making her look ridiculously like a clown.
"Is it difficult, Teacher Li?"
As she spoke, Li Yan clenched her hands tightly, "No, it's not difficult..."
"That's good. I'm really looking forward to the school assembly on Monday."
As she spoke, Mingyue picked up her plate and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Ming! Can you spare my daughter first?"
Mingyue turned her head, her curled eyelashes lifting, "Teacher Li, of course you can apologize in advance."
Li Yan shut up and watched Mingyue leave. Children may not care much about dignity, but she was thirty years old. If she had to kneel down to apologize, how would she be ridiculed?
Li Yan was tormented by her dignity and her daughter. She fell into deep anxiety. After finding someone to cover her afternoon class, she rushed to her daughter's school and saw her daughter's unharmed, innocent, and lovely face.
Li Yan knelt down and hugged her daughter tightly, stroking her tender face with her large hand. "Baby, has your class gotten a new teacher?"
"Mom, how did you know?"
