When Han Chengda returned, he wanted to teach his third brother a lesson, but Han Fei suddenly said, "I've been keeping an eye on him at home this week. Tomorrow after school, go help out at the stall. Old Xu might not be able to handle it all by himself, so I'll give him overtime pay at double the rate."
The agreement was that I would work one hour from Monday to Friday, so Han Fei meant that if I worked more than one hour, I would get double the pay.
Han Chengda frowned: "Can you control him?"
"You don't need to worry about that."
The next morning, Han Fei arrived at Han Chengshan's house and pounded on the door.
Han Chengshan, his hair a mess, came out and opened the door: "What do you want?"
"Time to get up."
"Didn't I already take sick leave today?"
He won't even let me sleep in when I'm on sick leave! What's wrong with this old man?!
"Didn't you tell me to go ask them why they hit you? I'm going to take you to identify the people."
"You're not kidding?"
"without."
Han Chengshan didn't know how he was dragged to the gate of the neighboring junior high school. He only came to his senses when he stood at the school gate and turned to leave.
"You haven't recognized anyone yet, where are you going?"
"I'm not going."
Are you shy?
"Shy? How could that be!"
"If you're not shy, why don't you go? Are you afraid of the person who will hit you?"
"Ha! That's even more impossible!"
By the time Han Chengshan stood on the platform leading the exercises in the junior high school field, it was too late for regrets.
Provoked by the old man's few words, he actually rushed into the junior high school and went straight to the principal's office to complain!
Tell on me!!!
He actually did such a shameful thing, something only a despicable person would do!
Recalling how he had stood in front of the principal and complained in a wronged tone about being beaten by five people, he felt his face burning.
That's shameless! How could he possibly do something like that?
"Grandpa Principal, they beat up a primary school student like me, five of them together! They called me a piece of trash and a good-for-nothing's grandson, and they even insulted my grandpa! You have to stand up for me!"
How could he possibly say such shameless things?
This is insane!
I must be crazy!
Han Chengshan covered his face in shame.
Han Fei, who was standing next to him, nudged him: "What are you daydreaming about? The principal has already gathered everyone in the school on the playground. Hurry up and recognize everyone!"
Han Chengshan glanced at the old man, then at the kind-looking principal, and nodded with a forced smile: "Okay."
He searched among the rows of junior high school students and finally found five of them!
The five of them were in the same class, and they were even in a row, one in front of the other, so they were very easy to find.
"They're the ones who hit me!"
Han Chengshan pointed at the five people: "Grandpa Principal, I'm just a primary school student. I can't beat them at all. Look, the injuries on my face were caused by him, the injuries on my knees were caused by him kicking me, and the injuries on my neck were caused by him scratching me!"
The five people were trembling.
Before they were summoned to the drill ground, they were wondering what big event would happen today.
When they arrived at the training ground and saw Han Chengshan standing on the platform, they instantly felt a chill run down their spines.
They guessed that Han Chengshan had come to see them, but they didn't expect this kid to be so shameless!
This kid, who's acting all high and mighty and claims to be a primary school student tattling, was incredibly arrogant yesterday. Even after being beaten up, he still acted like a thug who would get revenge.
Pack!
That kid's such a good actor!
The five men were filled with regret. They were not afraid of offending a brute, but they would never dare to offend such a petty person!
"My brother clearly said he's a tough guy and would never tattle!"
I want to beat up your brother.
"Isn't this all your brother's fault? If your brother hadn't disliked him and asked us to teach him a lesson, would we have gotten ourselves into trouble with such a shameless brat?"
"What do we do now?"
"Let's think of a way to exonerate yourselves first!"
"What are you all whispering about! Get to the principal's office!" the principal roared angrily.
The five people immediately lowered their heads like quails, not daring to utter a sound.
Upon arriving at the principal's office, the principal smiled kindly and asked the injured Han Chengshan to sit on the sofa. He then invited Han Fei to sit down and have tea with him, ignoring the five troublemakers standing by the door.
"Mr. Han, I have already asked the homeroom teachers of the five students to call their parents. Please wait a little longer, and I will give you a proper answer to this matter once their parents arrive."
"good."
"You five, come here." The principal finally addressed the five of them, who were all on the verge of dying of anxiety.
"Principal, please let us explain."
"I'm not going to listen to your explanations yet. I just want to ask you, did you hit anyone?"
"Ah, this..."
"Answer honestly!"
"They...they hit them."
"Okay, I'll ask you again. All five of you made a move? Five of you beat up a primary school student?"
"Yes...that's how it is."
"But……"
"Stop! I don't want to hear your explanations."
"Principal, it's not what you think. We didn't hit him for no reason, and we're not bullying a primary school student. We had our reasons!"
"Yes, if you want us dead, at least give us a chance to seek justice!"
The principal laughed in anger: "It's a fact that you five junior high students ganged up on an elementary school student. No matter what your reasons are, you are wrong. So why should I listen to your reasons? Save your reasons to fool your own parents."
Han Fei secretly gave him a thumbs up: No wonder this person can be the principal, he must have something special about him.
After waiting for about half an hour, the first parent arrived.
"Baby, did you hit someone?" A woman dressed in rich clothes walked in, speaking with a distinct Hong Kong accent.
"Mom! How many times have I told you, don't call me 'baby' in front of strangers!"
"Oh dear, baby, don't be angry. It was Mommy's fault. Mommy will correct it in the future!"
"This student's parent, the homeroom teacher should have already told you about this. I called you here to discuss how to apologize afterwards."
"Hello, are you the principal?"
"yes."
“Principal, let me tell you, my child would never hit someone for no reason. If he does hit someone, it's because that person deserves it.”
"Regardless of what the other party did, it was your son who struck first. The one who strikes first is at fault. This is a simple principle that a child doesn't understand, and you, an adult, don't understand either?" The principal's tone became serious, and his face hardened.
“Principal, you can’t say that. If the other party was really asking for it and my son hit him, I don’t think he did anything wrong, and he can’t be considered the one at fault.”
“Yes, I think so too!” said a middle-aged man.
He walked up to one of the junior high school students, who was clearly the boy's father, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Principal. I think we need to ask about this matter more carefully, because I don't think my son would hit someone for no reason."
The principal was furious: "I didn't call you here to investigate! I've already sent people to investigate and find out what happened. I only asked you to come and apologize in person to save face for you! I didn't expect you to be so confused! Fine, then I'll have your homeroom teacher come over and have her explain the whole story to you properly. Let's see if you'll still have the face to stay here after that!"
This statement has a profound meaning.
If this matter is clarified too much, there is a risk of expulsion. If it is settled in a muddled manner, it will be peaceful and peaceful, and it can also be regarded as a way for the principal to cover up his shame.
After all, such a heinous incident of a group beating up elementary school students occurred at the middle school where he was the principal. If word got out, it would definitely escalate and be detrimental to him. The best solution would be to end it in a muddled manner, minimizing the damage. Unfortunately, some people just can't see that clearly.
