When the homeroom teacher was told, she immediately realized who was spreading the rumors. "Okay, Fang Yu's mom, I'll investigate which student it was and reprimand her for spreading such rumors again."
"Teacher Feng, could it be the classmate who threw Fang Yu's things last time? If we criticize her behind her back like this, she won't change her ways. Who knows, she might spread other rumors next time. We need to make her apologize to Fang Yu in front of the whole class."
Seeing Yu Jihong's firm attitude, she said, "Fang Yu's mother, we haven't investigated yet, and we can't be sure which classmate it is."
"Teacher Feng, call that student over here, I want to ask her a question."
“Fang Yu’s mom, this isn’t convenient. I promised this classmate I wouldn’t tell anyone, and she’s changed her ways and hasn’t thrown Fang Yu’s things away since.”
"He didn't throw anything, but he talked nonsense." Yu Jihong raised her voice.
"We don't have any evidence right now that she said that."
“Teacher Feng, if there’s anything inconvenient, I’ll wait outside the school first. You can ask that student, and once you’ve confirmed it, have her come out and apologize in front of the whole class. Otherwise, it will affect my Fang Yu, and she won’t be able to study properly. Teacher Feng, I didn’t even do any housework today; I came to school just to deal with this. I’m going outside now, and I’ll come back in when the bell rings for the end of get out of class.” Yu Jihong finished speaking and walked out.
"Hey, Fang Yu's mom," the homeroom teacher called out. Yu Jihong had already walked out of the office. The homeroom teacher also went out of the office to the classroom and called the student over to ask her questions.
The sound of the school bell, both rough and clear, rang out. Yu Jihong, who had been waiting outside for a class period, went back into the school and went to her office.
"Teacher Feng, what do you mean?"
“Fang Yu’s mom, I asked around, and the students said that Fang Dongqiang is helping Fang Yu, so does he like her? Then the students spread the rumor, and I criticized the students who said it. They all know now, and no one will say it anymore.”
"Teacher Feng, did this student clarify things in front of the whole class? Did she say she was just making wild guesses?"
"Let's just leave it at that. She's a student, and she has her pride too."
Yu Jihong's expression changed. "I, Fang Yu, also have my pride. If my classmates talk about me behind my back and I don't come out and clarify things in front of the whole class, how can I, Fang Yu, concentrate on my studies in class from now on?"
"Fang Yu's mom, I've already clarified this in class. It was a misunderstanding spread by a classmate. What more do you want?" The homeroom teacher's tone was also quite harsh.
"Teacher Feng, I don't care about anything. I just want to say that Fang Yu's people are making wild guesses in front of the whole class, so everyone can hear it. Teacher Feng, we won't pursue the matter of who threw Fang Yu's clothes and pencil case last time; that's over. But this won't do. The person spreading the rumors must come out and explain themselves. I don't want my daughter to have such an unpleasant experience at such a young age." Yu Jihong looked at the teacher sincerely. "Teacher Feng, please understand the feelings of a mother with a daughter. My daughter can't be talked about like this behind her back."
The homeroom teacher shook his head helplessly, "Let me talk to this student first."
"Okay, Teacher Feng, class is about to start, I'll wait outside."
“Fang Yu’s mom, you don’t need to wait like this. I will handle it. You can go home and ask Fang Yu when you get home.”
"Teacher Feng, it's okay. I don't plan to work this morning. I'll go home after I've finished dealing with things."
The homeroom teacher shook his head helplessly.
Yu Jihong remained seated at the school gate, waiting for the bell to ring before going in to ask.
The homeroom teacher walked to the school gate. "Fang Yu's mom, are you really still sitting here?"
"Yes, Teacher Feng, I am waiting."
"You can go back without worry. I asked the teacher of this class to give up a few minutes. That student said in front of the whole class that it was just her wild guess. No one in the class said it again after that."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Teacher Feng. You go ahead with your work. I'll just say a few words to Fang Yu and then leave."
“Alright,” Teacher Feng said, walking away and then coming back. “Don’t make things difficult for that student. The child was just talking carelessly and spouting nonsense.”
"Yes, I promise. I won't ask which classmate it is, Teacher Feng. I just want my daughter to be unaffected."
"Alright, get out of class is almost over. Go home after you see Fang Yu. Your mother is really something..." The homeroom teacher shook her head.
Yu Jihong smiled at her homeroom teacher, "Teacher Feng, you're busy, thank you! Thank you!"
Yu Jihong breathed a sigh of relief. "My role as a mother... because my daughter's birth was different from other children's. Regardless of whether I made a mistake, I can't let my daughter's life be tainted. I brought her into this world, so I have to do everything in my power to ensure she has a good life and not let anyone bully her."
The bell rang, and Yu Jihong walked into the school again. Fang Yu had already run out, "Mom, Teacher Feng said you should wait for me at the school gate."
"Well, did that classmate explain it clearly in front of the whole class?" Yu Jihong asked, linking arms with Fang Yu.
“I told her, and she said she was just guessing. The teacher also said that Dongqiang is the class monitor, and he will help no matter whose problem it is. He also criticized that classmate.”
"Okay, Fang Yu, do you have any different feelings or bad feelings about this?"
"Unpleasant feelings?" Fang Yu thought for a moment. "I felt that way before, but it's better now."
"Yes, everything has been discussed openly, and the classmates know. It wasn't your fault; it was that classmate's fault. Don't feel unhappy about it."
"good!"
"Then Mom is going back. Fang Yu, straighten your back. We haven't hurt anyone, so don't care about what others think or how they feel."
"Hmm!" Fang Yu straightened her shoulders.
"Go on, go to class."
Yu Jihong rode her bicycle home quickly to catch up on the work she hadn't done that morning, hoping to save enough money to buy a television as soon as possible.
