"You little rascal, you really don't know what's good for you! This is a hundred dollars!"
Do you know how many schoolbags you can buy with 100 yuan?
Liu Zihao's mother rolled her eyes at Yuanyuan, thinking he was out of his mind. How could someone not want money? It was just a tattered schoolbag, and he was making a big deal out of it.
"Then why don't you let your eldest son buy a few more schoolbags instead of keeping an eye on my son's schoolbag?"
Xia Lan found it amusing; this person's double standards were truly astounding!
She felt it was only natural for her son to cause trouble.
"I won't sell it. My mother sewed this for me, and I won't sell it for any amount of money!"
Yuan Yuan stared at Liu Zihao with a cold face.
"Mom! I want it! I want his backpack! Make him give it to me!"
Seeing this, Liu Zihao was so angry that he rolled on the ground in anger.
"It's just a backpack. You can ask your mom to sew it up again! We're all classmates, so just give the backpack to my son!"
Seeing this, Liu Zihao's mother pretended to be friendly towards Xia Lan.
"What? You can't bribe me? Now you want to use moral blackmail?"
Xia Lan looked at Liu Zihao's mother and said with amusement.
Liu Zihao's mother's smile froze.
"If your son hadn't coveted things that didn't belong to him, none of this would have happened. You don't even discipline your own son, and you actually expect us to spoil him too?"
"Are you out of your mind? Why should my son spoil your son?"
“He looks two or three years older than my son, right? He’s really something, such a grown man, and he’s still throwing a tantrum on the ground.”
Xia Lan stood beside Yuan Yuan, embracing him and acting as his strong support.
"Son, let's ignore him! People like him deserve to be beaten."
"Even if you don't hit him, someone else will teach him a lesson and let him know that the world doesn't revolve around him!"
Xia Lan smiled at Yuan Yuan.
Hearing Xia Lan's words, Teacher Li pursed her lips, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with what she said, yet it also seemed to make sense...
Liu Zihao was indeed in the wrong, and his mother's excessive pampering of him was definitely wrong.
But as a teacher, it's not easy for her to lecture.
"What are you saying! Do you even know who our family is? Your family is just an ordinary working-class family, and you don't even have any sense of propriety!"
Liu Zihao's mother said angrily, pointing at Xia Lan, her heart filled with disdain for them.
I guessed they were just ordinary workers, and they looked down on me.
"What's wrong? Who are you people? Do you expect me to treat you with such deference?"
Xia Lan asked, amused.
She wanted to see who this woman was, that she could be so arrogant.
"Hmph, you ordinary people definitely don't know this. It would scare you to death if I told you. Our Zihao's father is a favorite of the minister!"
"Really? I'm so scared!"
Xia Lan curled her lips in disdain.
"Teacher Li, you've heard about this too. It's Liu Zihao's fault. They tried to take my son's schoolbag. What do you think we should do about this?"
Xia Lan looked at Teacher Li, who was standing to the side. Teacher Li was suddenly called over and looked at Liu Zihao's mother.
"Mother Liu Zihao, Liu Zihao was indeed in the wrong. Please ask Liu Zihao to apologize to Comrade Qin Mo. Moreover, it is wrong to take other people's things just because they say they want them. Please teach Liu Zihao a lesson."
As soon as Teacher Li said that, Liu Zihao's mother's expression changed.
"Teacher Li, how can you say that? My son Liu Zihao was beaten like this and you're just going to ignore it?"
"Why is it all Liu Zihao's fault? If his backpack hadn't been so flashy, Liu Zihao wouldn't have even bothered with it. He shouldn't have brought it with him!"
Liu Zihao's mother pointed at Qin Mo fiercely, trying to blame all the mistakes on Qin Mo.
"You old hag, you're being unreasonable! You're being nonsensical! You can't distinguish right from wrong! You're a complete idiot!"
Tuantuan was furious and shouted at Liu Zihao's mother.
"What an ill-mannered person! I don't know where they came from, they have no manners at all."
Hearing Tuantuan's words, Liu Zihao's mother turned red with anger, and her fingers trembled as she pointed at Xia Lan and the other two.
"Yes, your Liu family is well-mannered; you can steal other people's things and still be so self-righteous."
Xia Lan sneered.
“Liu Zihao’s mother, Liu Zihao is indeed wrong in this matter. You can’t confuse the issue like this. Wrong is wrong, and wrong should be corrected, instead of just indulging him in making the same mistake again and again.”
Teacher Li couldn't stand it anymore. Liu Zihao's mother was clearly being unreasonable and refused to apologize.
"Where is your principal?! I want to see your principal! I want to see if even the principal is so blind and unable to distinguish right from wrong!"
Liu Zihao's mother insisted on seeing the principal. Teacher Li pursed her lips, unable to persuade her otherwise, and fearing that she would disturb other students' classes, she still called and invited the principal over.
"Teacher Li, what's so important that you insisted I come?"
The principal came over, looked at Liu Zihao's mother with an unfriendly expression, then paused when he saw Xia Lan, and smiled slightly at her.
Xia Lan smiled at the principal, whom she had seen before when she was with Du Wenqing.
"Principal, please be the judge..."
Liu Zihao's mother, acting as the guilty party, falsely accused him and gave a distorted account of the events.
They all said it was Yuanyuan's fault; he brought his schoolbag to school and paraded around, making her son like it, but he refused to sell it and deliberately caused trouble.
After hearing this, the principal had a headache and looked at Xia Lan and Teacher Li.
Teacher Li wanted to interrupt halfway through, but Xia Lan pulled her back, allowing Liu Zihao's mother to finish speaking.
When the principal inquired, Teacher Li immediately recounted the facts she knew.
"Here's what happened: Liu Zihao took a liking to Qin Mo's backpack yesterday and wanted to buy it, but Qin Mo refused. Liu Zihao got angry and pushed Qin Mo's younger sister, Qin Youyou."
"Then Liu Zihao, unwilling to give up, came back today specifically to try and snatch Qin Mo's backpack, and the two started fighting in the school corridor..."
Teacher Li's account is definitely clearer than what Liu Zihao's mother said.
After hearing the whole story, the principal looked at Liu Zihao's mother.
"So, what do you want me to do?"
Liu Zihao's mother glanced at Xia Lan triumphantly and pointed at her.
“I demand that they be expelled. Children like them should not be in the same school as Liu Zihao.”
“They are so morally corrupt, and they must apologize to my Liu Zihao and give him the schoolbag. Of course, I am willing to give him twenty yuan, as if Liu Zihao bought the schoolbag.”
"Our Liu family can afford this amount of money! What do you think, Principal?"
Liu Zihao's mother smiled.
