Well, after all that talking, we've gotten back to business. Chu Xi's parents are really business fanatics.
"Of course."
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang nodded in agreement, and the four of them chatted quite happily.
They were still chatting during lunch when Xu Zijiang took the initiative to stop.
“We should talk more about the children. They don’t even enjoy their meals if they just listen to us talk all the time.”
"That's true, that's true."
Chu Xi's parents echoed their agreement once again.
Chu Xi secretly rolled her eyes and complained to An An.
“Look at my parents, they talk about business all the time. I don’t understand why they make so much money.”
"Of course I'm going to spend all this money. I never had the chance to work hard to earn money before."
An'an is a very understanding child.
"snort."
The issue of the two children was resolved amicably over this meal. However, after returning home, Yu Jiu remembered what Chu Xi's mother had said, and she also discussed it with Xu Zijiang.
"Or we could give Teacher Sun a gift. It's the last year, so let's avoid offending him. He's targeting An'an, and transferring schools now isn't convenient. We might as well just spend some money to settle it."
For them, the money spent on gifts was just a drop in the ocean, not even comparable to the pocket money they gave to An'an and Yuanyuan. However, Xu Zijiang did not agree with giving gifts.
"Let's wait and see, lest we spoil his appetite. We don't care about this small amount of money, but other parents may not have as much. And more importantly, it sets a bad example. If he doesn't give him a gift, he'll give him a hard time. Does he even deserve to be a teacher?"
"Actually, Chu Xi's mother shouldn't have started this. It's not a good example. However, the couple has been away from home for a long time and no one is taking care of the child. They are worried about the child, so it's understandable that they would give the teacher some gifts to get her to take care of her. However, it's okay for Teacher Sun to take care of Chu Xi, but it's not acceptable to target our An An."
“That’s true, then we won’t give him any gifts. We’ve been home most of the year anyway. If he does anything to target An’an again, we’ll deal with him. We won’t bother with gifts.”
Yu Jiu agreed with what Xu Zijiang said, and the two went to sleep.
On the other hand, Teacher Sun had heard that Chu Xi's parents had returned. Why didn't they come to see him this time, nor did they bring him any gifts? Were they dissatisfied with how he handled Chu Xi's affairs?
He was a little puzzled, so he asked Chu Xi over. Chu Xi naturally said no, the matter had been perfectly resolved, and his parents had never even considered pursuing it. Moreover, Chu Xi emphasized again that the two were just playing around as classmates, and there was no truth to what he said; no one bullied anyone.
Now Teacher Sun understood a bit. He might have tried to flatter Chu Xi but ended up making a mountain out of a molehill. Chu Xi's parents were also a little dissatisfied with him, thinking he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Now Teacher Sun dared not act rashly and could only teach the class quietly, no longer daring to target An'an.
To be honest, he had his reasons for targeting An'an. He knew that An'an's family was rich, even richer than Chu Xi's family. However, Chu Xi's parents had given him so many gifts, while An'an's family, despite being so wealthy, was so stingy that they didn't give him anything. That's why he was angry and targeted An'an.
Now that he knew the two families had become friends, he dared not act rashly, lest they join forces to deal with him. So he spent the semester peacefully and uneventfully.
To be honest, the matter between An'an and Chu Xi was indeed a misunderstanding; it was Teacher Sun who deliberately made things difficult for them. But it wasn't the case with Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan has a chubby face and a lively appearance. She was a very well-behaved child when she was little, but she's become more and more mischievous as she grows up, and that's why she got into trouble today.
Because they were still young, they didn't have much of a concept of gender, and male and female classmates often played together. Yuanyuan liked to play marbles, spin tops, and jump rope and throw beanbags with the female classmates. He played everything and was very popular in class.
But an accident happened while playing jump rope with her female classmates. The rope was pulled very high, higher than their height. But Yuanyuan insisted on trying to jump over it in order to win.
This is where the problem arose. He tried to jump up by bracing his hands on the ground and hook the rope with his toes, but he accidentally did a somersault with both hands on the ground, and he did it at an angle. His foot kicked the female classmate holding the rope in the stomach.
The kick was so hard that the female student immediately cried out in pain.
Yuanyuan and her classmates were terrified. They quickly went to find the teacher, who then took the girl to the hospital.
When school was over, Yuanyuan felt incredibly guilty and hesitated, unsure how to tell Yu Jiu that Yu Jiu was the one who came to pick up Yuanyuan and An'an. An'an had already gotten into the car, but that little brat was still dawdling by the car, refusing to get in.
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong? Hurry up and get in the car. Do you still want to go home for dinner? Or is there something you want to eat? Tell me quickly, and Mom will buy it for you."
Yu Jiu figured that he probably had his eye on some junk food again and wanted to buy it, but with Yu Jiu around, he didn't dare to go, and he was also reluctant to leave, so he dawdled and refused to get in the car.
Yu Jiu doesn't really restrict their eating of snacks and junk food. As long as they eat properly, she doesn't care much about anything else. Let them eat what they want; they might not like these things when they grow up.
"It's not about what he wants to eat, it's that Yuanyuan got into trouble and he didn't dare tell you."
An'an couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to confess. They were all from the same school, and that girl had been sent to the hospital by the teacher, causing quite a stir. How could An'an not know?
"What! What trouble has Yuanyuan gotten into? An'an, tell Mom right away!"
Yu Jiu's heart leaped into her throat. The two children knew that she and Xu Zijiang had good tempers, and even if they had caused a small problem, they wouldn't be afraid to speak up. The fact that both siblings seemed hesitant to speak meant they had probably caused a big problem.
"Mom, hit me if you want, but I didn't mean to, sob sob sob."
Yuanyuan burst into tears, wiping them away outside with her lips pursed. Only then did Yu Jiu realize that the situation was really serious. She quickly got out of the car, pulled Yuanyuan up, and placed her in the passenger seat.
"What exactly happened? Tell me! Mom promises she won't be angry, okay?"
"I accidentally kicked my classmate and he ended up in the hospital."
"Ah! What did you say?!"
Yu Jiu was shocked and couldn't believe it. Was this still her beloved son?
“He was playing jump rope with a female classmate during recess and accidentally kicked her. He wasn’t hospitalized, but he went to the hospital. The teacher took him to see a doctor. I asked the teacher, and it’s not too serious, but he still needs to take medicine and be observed.”
An'an is still like your younger brother, speaking up for Yuanyuan.
"You! You didn't do it on purpose, so your parents can forgive you. But you did kick and injure her classmate. Why didn't you tell your parents sooner? Is the girl still at school?"
Yu Jiu couldn't help but slap the round bottom twice. She was angry, but it was an accident after all, and the most important thing right now was to go see the girl classmate.
"She's gone. The teacher took her home."
Yuan Yuan whispered, her big, round eyes pleadingly watching Yu Jiu, secretly observing his expression.
"Do you know where your classmate lives? If you do, we can go there ourselves. But, let's ask the teacher for help. Is the teacher still at school?"
"Here I am."
"Then you all wait in the car. Yuanyuan, go sit in the back seat. I'm going to find the teacher now. You stay in the car and reflect on your actions!"
Yu Jiu pinched her round little face hard and hurriedly went into the school to find the teacher.
