Six times beating children
From then on, the beautiful woman's name, Li Wei, officially became known in the neighborhood. In those days, poultry and livestock were considered property, and no one could afford to lose them.
Changing your name when you start school isn't that troublesome, and it's common for children to change their names when they go to school. After all, some names, like "Second Fatty," are not presentable in formal occasions.
This year, there are still two classes for first grade, with nearly fifty children in each class. Li Wei and her two siblings are in Class 2. Their homeroom teacher is surnamed Meng, and looks to be around thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. She appears to be very shrewd and capable.
After a chaotic process of arranging the seats according to height, Li Wei, who was sitting in the middle of the classroom against the north wall, was shocked to find that the two people in front of her were actually the Luo brothers, and behind her were Wu Feng and the snotty-nosed fat boy. Oh dear!
By the way, weren't the Luo brothers and Fatty rejected by the school?
How did he manage to infiltrate the ranks of the people again?
Especially the Luo brothers, who are nicknamed "Luo the Three Cannons" by everyone. Now that they've hit two shots, it seems their class will never have a peaceful day again.
These two brothers not only have volatile tempers, but the younger brother is also half a year younger than the twins. I don't know what the principal was thinking; he seems to have lost all his principles.
Principal Chen was wronged. He rubbed his arm, which had been pinched until it turned blue, and looked at his messy desk. It was truly a case of "a scholar encountering a soldier—reason is useless."
If he doesn't know what's good for him and refuses to accept their child again, those two old women will probably scratch him to death. He may suffer a little physically, but it's not a good feeling for him, the highest administrative officer of the only school in Linjia Village, to be treated like a kindergarten principal.
Sigh, we're intellectuals, we don't argue with shrewish women. Anyway, he's already spoken to Teacher Meng: anyone who disobeys will be severely punished, anyone who refuses to be disciplined will be returned, including those three kids surnamed Li—no leniency whatsoever. Humph! Don't think that having some education means you can go to school; schools are organized and disciplined!
Meng Xiufen, female, 37 years old, is the homeroom teacher of Class 2, Grade 1. She has a son who attends high school in the county town and a daughter who is in Class 1, Grade 1 at this school.
This was information Li Ming had gathered in just a few days. In her previous life, her homeroom teacher was a recent college graduate. In this life, she started school a year earlier, and her homeroom teacher had changed.
But they knew a little about this Teacher Meng. Besides being quite capable, she had a daughter who was younger than them all, about two years younger than Li Wei. She used to be a grade above Li Wei. Despite her young age, she was an excellent student and was often used by Li Wei's former homeroom teacher as a role model. It was hard not to know she got in through connections.
At the same time, Li Wei also sensed something. Compared to their class's down-to-earth homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhao, Ms. Meng's appointment as their homeroom teacher clearly implied that the more capable one was, the more work they were given.
And what about the so-called "more work"? Just look at the students in Li Wei's row. There are clearly more boys than girls. Their clothes are noticeably more disheveled. Their upper bodies sway easily when sitting on the stool. Their eyes are clearly more active. Their snot is noticeably longer than the children in other rows!
There are clearly more problem children here!
There are four rows of students in the classroom, with more than ten students in each row. Two or three students share a table with long tables and benches, so there is enough room to sit.
What excited Li Wei was that one of the references she used to name her child, the beautiful Gu Liwei, was also in their class. She had a fair face, two long braids, a white vest, and a pink polyester pinafore dress, looking like a little princess. She was a future local celebrity.
Moreover, that beauty is the only star of the town's only preschool. In her previous life, Li Wei saw her perform Yangko dance several times, with Gu Liwei playing the White Bone Demon. Ugh!
However, her makeup and clothes were really beautiful, which left a deep impression on Li Wei, who was a wild child running around everywhere.
Now she's about to witness how the little beauty grows into a great beauty, and she says with a touch of excitement.
Unfortunately, she's clearly a bit far from being considered a beauty now. Looking at the mischievous kids around her, she sighs, realizing she's in that group. If things go wrong, she might become a problem student and be expelled.
The revolution is not yet complete; comrades, we must continue our efforts!
During the first week of school, new students attend classes for half a day each day, and they don't learn much. The main purpose is to help the children adapt to school life.
This is quite necessary. Look at Luo Erpao's larger version of Luo Jianzhong, the snotty-nosed one. The teacher is writing on the blackboard, and he runs to the podium like he's browsing a free market, grabbing the teacher's chalk box to admire; a little girl in the first row is in class, and suddenly bursts into tears; Erpangzi accidentally wets his pants while going to the toilet...
Although the twins remained relatively safe under Li Wei's close supervision, the physically and mentally exhausted Li Wei realized that being able to write and do math wasn't the deciding factor in their success at school. If one of the twins were to be rejected, she would be implicated. But watching them like hawks every day was becoming unbearable; she needed to think of something.
After careful analysis, Li Wei concluded that the twins, having undergone several months of training, were able to manage in class. They already knew the material, and after being praised by the teacher a few times, they became even more enthusiastic.
Like the second fat man, Lin Fuwei, the twins weren't very good at taking care of themselves either, but because Li Wei was watching over them, they didn't embarrass themselves too much.
However, it's hard to say what will happen if Li Wei doesn't look at him.
Li Lin was much better than Li Lianhui. After all, girls are naturally more mature, and Li Lin was quick-witted and good at reading people. Although she would sometimes get distracted, she didn't have any problems managing herself and communicating with others.
Li Lianhui was much worse; he was easily distracted, fidgety, had difficulty concentrating, disliked writing, and had poor self-care skills…
Too many minor problems.
The curriculum is less demanding now, so the homework isn't too much of a hassle. Li Wei also gives them a couple of supplementary materials when they get home in the evenings. Therefore, Li Wei's top priority is to get them used to school life as quickly as possible.
On the third day of school, Li Wei added extra training for Li Lianhui. Because Erpangzi had promptly tipped off Lin Sishu, the fourth uncle, during the incident where Li Wei changed her name to "Chicken Killer," Li Wei also asked him to stay and train with Li Lianhui, although he grumbled and seemed a little unwilling.
Today's task is simple: pack your schoolbag.
Don't underestimate this small matter; just look at the schoolbag that Li Lianhui packed himself—it's a complete mess.
Back then, schoolbags were just square bags with a strap connecting the two sides. Li Lin's was made of synthetic leather, so it was relatively well-shaped. Li Lianhui and Erpangzi's were made of canvas, which was soft, shapeless, and messy. Over time, the corners of their books curled up, making them very unkempt. Occasionally, the two of them would hang their schoolbags horizontally across their chests, looking like beggars.
So Li Wei first carefully explained the order in which the books and stationery should be arranged. Since there weren't many books, it was just a matter of a few words. Then she had the two practice, going over it three or five times. The two basically mastered it, but that didn't mean they could do this housekeeping job well. It was still a long way off. She needed to supervise them every day. Li Wei estimated that it would take at least ten days to half a month for them to make it a habit.
Since starting school, Erpangzi has been going to and from school with the three siblings and Wu Feng, and they also do activities together. After all, they are neighbors and live quite close by. In addition, Wu Feng's younger brother, Wu Ming, who is a burden, has also joined them.
The two Luo boys, however, hung out with several boys from their class in the village. Every time I saw them, they were covered in mud and sweat, always as energetic as ever.
The second younger brother, Luo Jianzhong, went to the podium to observe the teacher's chalk teaching aids, and was lectured, criticized, and intimidated by the teacher, which made Teacher Meng so angry that she almost hit him with her small pointer.
Li Ming still couldn't see any sign of him restraining himself. Li Ming had to admire him. The kid was really ruthless. These days, there aren't many kids who aren't afraid of their teachers.
But letting this kid cause trouble is really damaging their already less-than-stellar image in the teacher's eyes. The teacher is already looking at this small group of students with disapproval, and if they are expelled because of this kid, she would be terribly wronged.
Li Wei made a quick decision and told Brother Luo Jianhua to let Luo Jianzhong sit inside and Luo Jianhua sit outside, blocking him from leaving.
It should have been a simple matter, and Li Wei thought it wouldn't be difficult at all, but to her surprise, Boss Luo raised his eyebrows and his expression turned hostile:
"Why should I listen to you? I'm not changing!"
Hey! Li Wei was so angry she almost choked. What a brat! So difficult to talk to. Well, I'm an adult, I won't argue with a little kid. She continued in a gentle tone:
“Luo Jianhua, look at your younger brother, he’s always getting criticized by the teacher. Can’t you discipline him? He’s so young, and he already doesn’t listen to the teacher. If this continues, he’ll grow up and won’t listen to his parents. Won’t he become a bad person? You’re the older brother, you have to help him!”
"Mind your own business!" Ignoring Li Wei, he flicked his slightly oversized sleeve and walked away.
Li Wei was almost furious. This ungrateful brat, no wonder he's the son of Luo San's Aunt, the notorious shrew of Linjia Village, he's so arrogant!
I wonder what this kid did when he grew up in his previous life. Li Wei and he weren't in the same class. All I know is that the Luo brothers didn't seem to do well in school except for fighting. Apparently, his family moved to the county town when he was in the first year of junior high. Li Ming's family also moved to the edge of the village and built a house. I've never heard anyone talk about their family.
After growing up, Erpangzi became a truck driver. His older brother, Dajunzi, seemed to be doing some small business. Wu Feng married the village chief's son, and they haven't kept in touch much. As for her former classmates, well, they haven't started school yet; they'll have to wait until next year.
Now that the past is repeating itself, Li Wei feels an indescribable warmth and cuteness towards these children, but now there's another reason for them—they're difficult to deal with!
Li Wei, of course, did not give up. No one should stand in her way to school. The next day, she went to her homeroom teacher, Ms. Meng, to voice her opinion. Ms. Meng was quite pleased that a child had taken the initiative to come to her with her concerns, and as soon as class started, she changed the seats of Luo Da and Luo Er.
Luo Da glanced at Li Wei but didn't say anything.
Li Wei was too lazy to pay attention to this stubborn little brat.
Perhaps because Li Wei usually behaved quite well, and the three siblings were also good at their studies, Gu Liwei was appointed class monitor in the second week, while Li Wei became the vice class monitor. Gu Liwei was very proactive in helping the teacher run errands and manage the class, while Li Wei was more easygoing. As long as the teacher was happy and didn't expel them, she was willing to do anything. Of course, she wouldn't try to steal the limelight from Gu Liwei, and their relationship was quite harmonious.
But as the saying goes, "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease." After Luo Erdi changed seats, he ended up sitting in front of Li Lin. He couldn't get up and move around freely, and Luo Erdi was itchy all over. He didn't dare to mess with his older brother, so he rubbed against the back desk like a pig. Li Lin was not one to back down, and she often pushed him with her little fists.
At first, Li Wei didn't pay much attention; after all, she was just a child, it wasn't a big deal. But after a while, she realized that it was actually interfering with her studies and had even attracted the teacher's attention, so Li Wei couldn't ignore it anymore.
When there was nothing to do after class, I first criticized and educated Luo Erdi, but Luo Erdi just grimaced and didn't take it seriously, and then ran out to play.
I wanted to talk to Brother Luo, but he's nowhere to be found.
Li Wei was so discouraged. If Li Lianhui and Li Lin had been so disobedient, she would have given them a good beating long ago. How could they be so arrogant?
But there's really nothing that can be done about how active these kids are. Li Wei doesn't believe they did it on purpose; otherwise, why would they be called manic?
So Li Wei moved her desk back a little. Sometimes when things got really out of hand, she would say a few words, but it wasn't a big deal.
One day during a break between classes, Li Wei was leaning to the side typing words into a notebook for Wu Feng and Erpangzi behind her, asking them to copy them and try to make them write as neatly as possible. As she was speaking, she heard Li Lin scream, which startled her so much that she turned around to look.
Li Lin was crying loudly, her little fists clenched, and a cut about an inch long on the back of her hand was bleeding.
On the other side, Luo Erdi, who was holding a pencil sharpener, seemed a little flustered, but he still put on a brave front. With Brother Luo not around, he was feeling uneasy.
Li Wei was furious. She took out a handkerchief to comfort Li Lin, then used her sleeve to wipe away Li Lin's tears from her still-bleeding handbag. She then looked up coldly at Luo Er:
"No matter what happened, I'll apologize first."
Luo Erdi was also stubborn, sticking out his little neck and glaring without saying a word.
However, the meaning was already very clear: he believed that Li Wei had no way to deal with him.
The violent impulse within Li Wei was ignited. Damn it, they bullied the twins in her past life. She was ignorant back then and only knew how to run around wildly, not knowing how to take care of children. If she let them be bullied again now, she would really go back to the past.
Clearly, the young Luo family member doesn't listen to anyone.
Without saying a word, Li Wei got up from her seat, grabbed Luo Erdi's wrist holding the knife, and twisted it inward. Luo Erdi couldn't withstand the force, and the knife fell to the ground.
Li Wei grabbed Luo Erdi by the collar with her other hand and dragged him onto the stage.
Li Wei had learned some self-defense techniques before, and although Luo Erdi was strong, he was still young. At that age, the physical differences between boys and girls weren't significant, and he was inherently weaker than Li Wei, who was older than him. Dealing with this little brat was effortless for Li Wei.
Of course, Luo Erdi also struggled desperately. The Luo brothers were never the type to swallow their anger, but Li Wei, who was very experienced in disciplining children, didn't take him seriously at all.
They pressed Luo Er down onto the steps of the podium, pulled out the teacher's pointer, and gave Luo Er's bottom a good whack. At first, Luo Er cried and struggled, but soon he burst into tears. After all, he was just a child and didn't have much courage.
Li Wei pulled down his pants and looked at him. It wasn't too bad; there were red marks, but they would probably be gone by tomorrow. Although it hurt quite a bit, she hadn't really hit him hard. She just wanted to teach him a lesson and scare him a little, even though this kid really deserved a beating.
"Tell me, will you still use a knife to scare people like this in the future?" Li Wei was about to finish cooking.
But Luo Er was quite stubborn, sobbing without saying a word.
Li Wei didn't hold back and attacked a few more times, but Luo Er still didn't say a word. "I didn't expect this little brat to be so tough, preferring death to submission. Fine, then you'll stop bullying me."
Looks like we'll have to take something drastic.
Li Wei spotted the paper cutter the teacher had confiscated on the podium, grabbed it, and placed it in front of Luo Er:
"See that? This knife is way more powerful than your little lousy knife. If you don't admit your mistake, I'll cut off your little pecker and turn you into a girl, hehe..."
Li Wei herself felt it was quite wicked, ugh!
Sure enough, Luo Er burst into tears: "Waaah... I was wrong, I was wrong, waaah..."
Although Luo Er didn't know what was wrong with becoming a girl, he knew that having his penis cut off would be very painful, and he wouldn't be able to urinate anymore. Once, an ant bit his penis, and it hurt terribly. Besides, he really didn't want to become a girl; his brother hated girls crying.
This matter should have ended satisfactorily. Li Wei thought that even if the teacher criticized her, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, Luo Er was in the wrong first, so she had to vent her anger for Li Lin.
Just as she was about to let Luo Er go back, Luo Da ran in with red eyes.
