Yan Beinan, who already hated Wang Erniu, naturally went to help Ma Mingyuan when he saw him being bullied by Wang Erniu.
This punch was delivered with all his might, sending Wang Erniu staggering back several steps before he collapsed to the ground.
After all, they were all children. Wang Erniu covered his eyes and burst into tears, causing the whole class to erupt in commotion. Finally, a classmate went to report it to the teacher.
The teacher in charge rushed over, pushed aside the students watching, and immediately saw Wang Erniu sitting on the ground wailing. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
A male teacher came and carried Wang Erniu to the school clinic, whereupon the little guy slowly stopped sobbing.
The school nurse asked Wang Erniu to take his hand down and checked the area where he had been hit. Fortunately, children don't have much strength, so at most, there would be a bruise around his eye, but there were no other problems.
The teacher was furious. He grabbed Yan Beinan by the ear and yelled, "You think you're so tough? Fighting on your first day of school. Go stand outside and get some cold air to clear your head."
The class monitor quickly stepped forward: "Teacher, it wasn't Yan Beinan's fault. Wang Erniu hit me, and Yan Beinan helped me."
The teacher looked at the other students, who were all speaking up for Yan Beinan.
"Yan Beinan, even so, you can't fight. You can tell the teacher, and the teacher will handle it. Do you know you were wrong?" The teacher began to save face for himself.
"I understand, I won't do it again." The clever Yan Beinan knew that she had to back down at this point.
"Go back and sit down properly. If this happens a second time, I'll call your parents. And you guys, go back and sit down properly. Don't you want to study?" the teacher threatened.
A series of clattering sounds followed by silence, with every eye fixed on the teacher, waiting for the lesson to begin.
When Wang Erniu returned from the infirmary, he was called to the teacher's office. He had to finish his winter vacation homework, which he should have completed long ago, and also write a letter of self-criticism.
As for lunch, it was eaten in the teachers' office. The teachers' meals weren't very good either. The better ones would have a small portion of rice and a large portion of millet, along with cabbage and radish.
I slurped down two half-baked steamed buns made from a mixture of wheat, water, and millet porridge, which was so thin you could see the bottom of them.
Even worse were the two Kangcai dumplings, which they ate with the school's free hot water. Seeing them choking as they ate, Wang Erniu also felt he couldn't swallow them.
Looking at the cornmeal dumplings in his lunchbox, he suddenly realized that his father had done the right thing; at least the food he got from the Yan family was enough to fill his stomach.
So this punch I took today wasn't for nothing; I have to extort some grain from them no matter what.
Having made up his mind, Wang Erniu started eating the dough dumplings in his lunchbox, slurping them down so loudly that they attracted the teachers' attention.
News travels slowly through Mushroom Village, so the teachers had no idea where the cornmeal in Wang Erniu's lunchbox came from. They just wondered if everyone in the village was living such good conditions now.
Ma Mingyuan, Yan Beinan, and Yan Xinan are all from Mushroom Village, and they usually bring cornmeal to school.
In town, you need ration coupons to buy grain. Now that there's no grain, the coupons are useless. Why not ask this child if his family has any surplus grain that they can exchange for grain?
"Wang Erniu, your family had a good harvest this year, you even have cornmeal to eat." The male teacher who had just hugged Wang Erniu spoke up.
Wang Erniu glanced at the male teacher: "The village had no harvest this year, so we traded our grain with Yan Beinan's family."
Yan Beinan, who was happily eating in the classroom, felt his ears burning. Ma Mingyuan told him that someone must have been talking badly about him, and that it was his mother who had said it.
Yan Beinan knew perfectly well who was talking badly about him, except for that bastard Wang Erniu.
"Yan Beinan, Yan Beinan, the teacher wants to go to the office." Wang Erniu called out to Yan Beinan gleefully as soon as he returned to the classroom.
Bei Nan rolled her eyes at Wang Erniu and went to the teacher's office. Originally expecting to be criticized, Bei Nan did not expect the teachers to be so kind to him, and her spine felt a little cold.
"Bei Nan, let me ask you, did your family exchange the grain for Wang Erniu's family?" The teacher in charge of the class asked the question.
Bei Nan immediately knew it was Wang Erniu's doing. After a moment's thought, her face turned extremely aggrieved: "Teacher, Wang Erniu is trying to extort our grain."
The teachers were taken aback and quickly asked what had happened. Yan Beinan then began to explain how her grandmother and Wang Erniu's grandmother had a good relationship, and how she had always been financially supporting the Wang family...
She went on and on about how everyone in the village avoided the Wang family and how they forbade their children from befriending Wang Daniu.
The compelling story left all the teachers in the office speechless. Such a young child, yet so ruthless! The teachers all became wary of Wang Erniu.
But the teacher's problem wasn't solved yet. The teacher in charge of the class continued, "Bei Nan, do you have any extra food at home? Can I exchange it with you?"
Yan Beinan didn't care much about the food at home; as long as there was food, he was fine. So he told the teacher that he would go back and ask his grandmother and give the teacher an answer the next day.
Back in the classroom, Yan Beinan didn't even glance at Wang Erniu before returning to her seat.
Wang Erniu couldn't hold back any longer and went up to Yan Beinan, saying, "Beinan, you injured me, you have to pay me money, or at least some grain."
Yan Beinan hadn't expected Wang Erniu to be so shameless. He sneered, "I have neither money nor grain, but I have your life. Come and take it if you dare."
Wang Erniu sneered, "It's fine if you don't give it to me, I'll have my mother go to your house every day to ask for it."
Yan Beinan was so angry that he stood up and wanted to fight, but Ma Mingyuan held him back tightly, saying, "You can't do it, you can't do it."
It is said that good news does not travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Yan Beinan had just told her grandmother about what happened at school when there was a loud knocking on the door.
Zhong Nan let out a "uh" and was about to rush out when Yan Xiaonan stopped him, still remembering her uncle's teachings.
Grandma Yan told Yan Xiaoqiang to open the door and asked Xinan to find the village chief. There had to be a middleman for this kind of thing, and besides, the fight between Bei and Nan was also for the sake of the village chief's son.
Wang Erniu, her parents, and her sisters stood at the door, shouting aggressively for someone to open it. But when Yan Xiaoqiang's strong body appeared at the door, the Wang family fell silent.
Southwest took the opportunity to run away, but halfway there he saw Village Chief Ma and his wife rushing over with Ma Mingyuan.
It turned out that as soon as Ma Mingyuan got home, he explained everything to his parents. When they heard that Wang Erniu wanted Yan Xiaonan to pay compensation in money and grain, they knew that this kid was completely ruined.
They hurriedly took Ma Mingyuan and ran to the Yan family. Bei Nan had only fought for their own child, and they couldn't let him suffer a loss.
