"I was wrong. I'm willing to apologize to the little prodigy. Please give me a chance. My family is poor and didn't know this thing was so precious. We can't afford to pay for it."
The door was closed. The items, worth several thousand yuan, were beyond the capabilities of their security department. They could only report it to the police, who would then determine the case and the price.
After receiving the report, the police immediately dispatched officers. Through comparison of footprints and the testimony of several other female students in the dormitory, Li Guixiang was found guilty of intentionally damaging other people's property.
Moreover, the property loss is substantial, enough to constitute a criminal offense. If the Ye family insists, they can be taken away and sentenced directly. Now it all depends on the Ye family's attitude.
Li Guixiang cried, her face covered in tears and snot. All she wanted was a better bed; she had only mischievously soiled the little girl's blankets. How could it have become a crime?
Although the security personnel didn't like Li Guixiang, they recognized that college students were rare, so they asked her to contact her parents to see if there was any way to resolve the issue.
Li Guixiang's hometown is in a suburb of Jinshi. She has several older brothers, and she was born last. She was a smart and quick-witted girl from a young age, and she did well in school. She was deeply loved by her parents.
Because of her parents' pampering, Li Guixiang developed a lot of bad habits. She was selfish and lazy, and she couldn't stand seeing others do better than her. Otherwise, she would definitely want to get revenge.
Her parents could tolerate her, but after suffering enough from her, her sisters-in-law were unwilling to live together anymore, and the whole family separated.
When Li Guixiang received her university admission notice, she still bragged to her brothers and sisters-in-law, saying that she was a high-class college student, while they were just broken workers who dealt with machines every day.
College students are a rare breed, so everyone swallowed their anger. Little did they expect that they would offend the child of a powerful family in Beijing right after the start of the semester, and even trample on their silk quilt.
They don't know what mulberry silk is, they just know that this kind of quilt is ridiculously expensive, and there are also silk sheets. Good heavens, they know what silk is? I heard that someone made a cheongsam out of silk, which is worth more than a thousand yuan.
Li's parents gathered all the money in the house, which amounted to more than four hundred yuan. That was money they had saved up for several years. Li's father glanced at his sons, wanting to ask to borrow money, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.
He knew that his youngest daughter had offended all his sisters-in-law, so they might not be willing to lend him money. Fortunately, his sisters-in-law didn't want their only college student to go to jail, so they each contributed two hundred yuan, but demanded that Li Guixiang repay them after graduation.
Li's father naturally agreed and took Li's mother on the train to the capital, while Yan Xiaonan stayed at home to ask Yu Shu what she thought: should they send the person to prison or settle the matter with money?
Yu Shu thought for a moment and said, "Mom, it's not easy to get into university. We shouldn't send her to prison. A demerit will follow her for life. Also, let her take out five hundred yuan, and I will donate it to the school. This will also teach her a lesson."
Ye Ren smiled with satisfaction. For a ten-year-old child to handle things to this extent was already quite impressive. Ye Ren's years of training had been successful.
Mr. and Mrs. Li arrived at the school and, after learning what had happened, were speechless. Was it worth it to fight for a bed? But it was indeed something their daughter would do.
Upon arriving at the principal's office, I was astonished to see the little girl sitting next to the principal. Such a young child was a college student; she must be a child prodigy!
And his daughter actually dared to bully such a young child; it was simply outrageous. So when they saw Li Guixiang walk in, Li's father immediately slapped her hard across the face.
"You bully your sister-in-law at home, and you bully the neighbors outside. I always thought you were still young and would grow up and become sensible. But now you can even bully a little kid. Have you lost your heart? Are you even human?"
Yu Shu's eyes fell on the blood coming from Li Guixiang's ear, and she couldn't help but look at Li's father. Goodness, this father is really ruthless when he hits people. There's not a trace of pretense in his actions. It's terrifying.
“Little girl, a life for a life, a debt for a debt. She’s an adult bullying a child like you. It’s my fault for not raising her properly. I apologize to you. As for compensation, we’ll pay it.” Father Li said, his face flushed.
The principal placed the blanket and sheets in front of the two of them, coughed, and said, "The blanket and sheets were brought back from abroad as a gift for Yushu. It is said that the original price was more than three thousand."
With a "bang," Li's mother was so startled that she dropped the bag she was holding to the ground. It was over three thousand yuan, and they had only managed to scrape together a thousand yuan. How could they possibly pay for it?
But when he heard that if he couldn't pay the compensation, his daughter would go to jail, Mr. Li fell silent. The gap between his imagination and reality was just too great.
Li Guixiang knelt down in front of the principal and Yu Shu with a thud, but before she could speak, the principal sternly stopped her: "Li Guixiang, stand up right now, or I'll send you to jail immediately."
Li Guixiang was so frightened that she quickly stood up, but her eyes were pleading as she looked at Ye Yushu. She regretted it, she really regretted it, and she would never bully anyone again, even if it meant death.
"Are you wrong?" Yu Shu asked.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have bullied you just because you were young. I shouldn't have dirtied your blankets. Please forgive me. I promise I will never bully anyone again," Li Guixiang quickly replied.
"Would you be willing to pay me 500 yuan? And can we get the bed back?" Yu Shu asked again.
“Yes, yes, Dad, Mom, lend me this money. I will definitely pay it back later. I can write an IOU,” Li Guixiang said excitedly.
Yu Shu took out paper and pen from her bag and handed them to Li Guixiang. She should pay back the money and write an IOU.
Li Guixiang took five hundred yuan from her father with an IOU and respectfully handed it to Ye Yushu. Looking at the IOU in his hand, Li's father had a strange feeling that the matter was already resolved.
"Grandpa Principal, I'm donating this money. It can help add a few more books to the library, or a few more trees to the campus. You can do whatever you want with it." Ye Yushu placed the money she had just received into the principal's hand.
The principal stood up, looked into Yu Shu's eyes, and said, "Good child, I really admire your great-grandfather now. He taught you and Tianru very well. Would it be alright if I invited him to teach the students?"
Yu Shu shook her head and said, "My great-grandfather is too old and can't be overworked. If you really want to invite someone, invite my grandfather or father instead. They are scientists too."
Mr. and Mrs. Li exchanged a glance. No wonder their child was able to get into university at such a young age; the whole family were scientists, so how could their child not be good?
