"Teacher, are you kidding me? Selling candied hawthorns doesn't make money."
"How much money do you make from a single candied hawthorn? If you want to pay the person who helps you 6,000 yuan a month, how much would they have to earn in a month?"
The homeroom teacher thought for a moment and said, "I think that with how popular the old man's business is, he should be making 30,000 to 50,000 a month."
"How could that be! He's just selling candied hawthorns!"
"If candied hawthorn berries can make so much money, then candied hawthorn berries should be sold everywhere!"
"Teacher, are you related to him? Why are you always speaking up for him?"
Faced with the parents' questions, the teacher said confidently, "I don't know if others make money selling candied hawthorns, but the old man's candied hawthorns are unique. Every day, three or four hundred students come to buy them. Even if he only makes 2 yuan per candied hawthorn, the old man can earn at least 600 yuan a day!"
"Three or four hundred people bought his candied hawthorns?"
"Really?"
"If you earn 600 a day, it's a considerable income over a month."
Du Xiaoliang also remembered the old man who set up a stall at the entrance. He had bought candied hawthorns from the old man before, and they were indeed delicious, always in short supply.
He looked closely and realized that the old man's features did indeed resemble those of the candied hawthorn grandpa.
If it really is him, then Han Chengshan's money will have a legitimate source, and there will be no way to frame him anymore.
Just as Du Xiaoliang was at a loss, the lawyer-parent spoke up again: "Student, didn't you say you had witnesses to prove that you were extorted by Han Chengshan? Can you call them here for a face-to-face confrontation?"
"Yes! I'll call them over right now!"
Du Xiaoliang turned on her smartwatch and called three friends.
As soon as they arrived, they all accused Han Chengshan of extorting them, complaining bitterly that Han Chengshan had grabbed them by the neck and demanded money, and that Han Chengshan had blocked their way home and threatened them with a knife...
Han Chengshan was furious: "I don't even know who you are!"
In contrast, Han Fei was much calmer. He gently patted Han Chengshan's shoulder and said, "Don't get angry. Getting angry won't solve anything."
"Then you should solve it!"
"Okay, give it to Grandpa."
Han Fei stepped forward and shielded Han Chengshan behind him.
Han Chengshan stood behind Han Fei, looking up at the old man's back.
The old man had a limp, but it didn't affect his height.
He had almost forgotten that the old man was a cripple.
The old man always stood up straight, so he didn't give people the impression of being hunched over and short; instead, he gave people the impression of being very tall.
He looked down at the old man's shoes and noticed that the heels of the old man's shoes were of different heights, one shoe had a higher heel and the other had a lower heel, thus successfully concealing the fact that the old man's feet were uneven.
Han Fei glanced calmly at the three children who were testifying: "It's not as simple as you say it. You need to provide evidence. You say he threatened you, extorted you, and beat you, so do you have any surveillance footage, medical reports, or other proof? Kids, do you know that giving false testimony can land you in jail?"
"ah!"
"Go to jail?"
"Xiao Liang, you said you'd treat us to a meal if we helped you out, you didn't say you'd go to jail!"
"I lied, waaaaah, please don't arrest me and put me in jail!"
"Waaaaah..."
The three elementary school students were easily frightened; they burst into tears at the slightest provocation.
Han Fei touched his nose: "There's no need to go to jail immediately. As long as you know your mistakes, correct them, and tell the truth, you won't have to go to jail."
The lawyer parent was about to say something when the principal interrupted, "This parent, my office is under surveillance."
Upon hearing this, the lawyer fell silent.
He could only offer a few words from the sidelines, unable to intervene personally, since the situation was clear and difficult to reverse.
"Du Xiaoliang texted us, saying that he would treat us to dinner if we helped him frame Han Chengshan."
“We are good friends and get along very well, so I agreed to his request.”
"We didn't expect things to be this serious."
"Han Chengshan did not extort us; it was all a lie we fabricated."
"Although Han Chengshan is very fierce, he rarely bullies people and has never asked anyone for money."
"Han Chengshan has many followers who admire him and prepare breakfast, snacks, milk, and the like for him. He is not short of money at all and has no need to ask us for money."
"Although Han Chengshan is not good at studying, he is very good at sports. He signs up for many events at every school sports meet, and he gets a prize for winning each event. He is not short of money at all."
"We were wrong, we will never lie again."
"Waaaaah, we really know we were wrong."
Han Fei looked at the girl who had been silent, but she looked away and looked elsewhere.
Han Fei sighed. He had intimidated three people, but he couldn't intimidate this little girl.
The principal's phone rang; it was a call from the elementary school principal: "The surveillance footage has been found; Du Xiaoliang struck first."
The principal received a surveillance video from the primary school principal.
In the picture:
The female classmate blocked Han Chengshan's way. Han Chengshan looked impatient and said a few words. Because it was silent, the words could not be heard, but it was clear that they were not kind. The girl started to cry.
Du Xiaoliang, who was passing by, saw the girl crying and immediately went up and threw a punch. Han Chengshan did not expect the other party to make a sudden move and was ambushed. He was hit and immediately retaliated, and the two of them started fighting.
Before long, it turned into a one-sided crushing defeat for Han Chengshan, who relentlessly beat Du Xiaoliang.
The principal played the video for everyone to see: "Now the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"
The girl who had lied began to sob softly.
The homeroom teacher asked, "Why did you lie?"
“I…I want him to remember me.”
This answer was so unexpected that everyone was puzzled.
The girl said in a low, hoarse voice, "I'm his deskmate, and he doesn't even know my name. I want to slander him and make him hate me, so that at least he'll resent me and remember my name."
Han Fei: "..."
This little girl's thought process is truly... unique!
Han Chengshan gritted his teeth in anger: "I'll remember you! I'll never forget you! All girls are crazy!"
Han Fei's lips twitched.
Actually, thinking about it carefully, this might not be a bad thing. After all, it's made this future love-obsessed villainous boss develop a fear of women and a misogyny from elementary school! It's best if he avoids female leads from now on and doesn't get close to them!
“I originally wanted to downplay this and resolve it peacefully by apologizing, compensating those who should be compensated, and settling things amicably. But now that things have escalated so much, and even the surveillance footage has been retrieved, I'm afraid it can't be resolved so simply.” The principal sighed and looked helplessly at the five parents: “I will give all five children a major demerit.”
"This won't do!"
"They're about to take the high school entrance exam, how can they be given a major demerit!"
"Principal, you can't do this!"
“My son wants to take the police academy entrance exam, but if he gets a major demerit, he won’t be able to get in!”
"Principal, my son already knows he was wrong, could you please not give him a major demerit?"
"Principal, is there any other way to resolve this matter?"
"Grandpa, do you think we can settle this privately? Just name your price. Could you let your child say it was a misunderstanding and that they didn't hit him?"
"Yes, as long as Han Chengshan doesn't say they hit him, this matter will cease to exist, and there will be no punishment."
"Sir, how much money do you need?" The woman with a Hong Kong accent pulled out her checkbook. "Just name your price!"
