Most of the classmates in the class came from well-off families, and Qin Zhichu was afraid that Yanyan would be criticized, so he never told the teacher about his single-parent status.
Just like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, the innocent children chose to believe the sudden rumors.
"No wonder Qin Yanyan's grades are so bad, it turns out she doesn't have a father to teach her."
"She always likes to fight with others. Mom told me not to play with her."
Qin Yanyan felt a lump in her throat. She was not fighting with anyone. It was the other boys who pulled the girl's braids first. She pushed the boy to protect the classmate who was talking.
My mother said she was acting bravely and was not fighting.
But when the classmates saw Qin Yanyan approaching, they all stopped talking, scattered like birds and animals, and stayed away from her.
No one came forward to play with her.
Qin Yanyan felt very uncomfortable, as if there were needles prickling her on the chair. She felt that everyone was secretly looking at her and talking about her, but as long as she looked up, she didn't notice anything.
She had no choice but to run to find Yueyue with her sketchbook.
But Yueyue was not in the class. I heard that she was chosen by the teacher to participate in the performance because she could dance.
Yanyan wanted to turn around and look for Anan and Ningning again. When she passed by the women's restroom, she heard Peng Nuan's voice coming from inside:
"My dad always comes to parent-teacher conferences. I've never met Qin Yanyan's dad."
"Someone even tried to kidnap her at the school gate! How pitiful."
"You can't call her a wild child. She just doesn't have a father. The teacher said we should care about our classmates and not make fun of her."
It turned out to be her!
Qin Yanyan gritted her teeth and didn't go looking for anyone. She turned around and ran to the teacher's office. She wanted to tell the teacher about the bad things Peng Nuan had done!
Unfortunately, Sun Wenhua is not here today, and only the Chinese teacher is sitting in the office.
The Chinese teacher in their class was a little old man who always liked to hold a blackboard stick during class. Yanyan was hit several times because she didn't write her composition well.
She is a little afraid of her Chinese teacher.
But thinking that it was Peng Nuan who told everyone that she had no father, Qin Yanyan still plucked up the courage and stepped into the office.
"Teacher, Peng Nuan bullied me."
The Chinese teacher pushed his glasses up on his nose and didn't even look at her. Instead, he asked, "Isn't Peng Nuan in our class? How did she bully you?"
"She and other classmates told me I didn't have a father, which made everyone dislike me and not want to play with me."
Qin Yanyan grabbed the corner of her clothes. Although she had known for a long time that it didn't matter if she didn't have a father, she still felt very sad when she heard others say that she was a wild child.
"Did you hear it yourself?"
"I heard it when I was passing by the restroom just now."
"Then how do you prove that it was Peng Nuan who said that?"
"That's her voice. I can't be mistaken."
The Chinese teacher slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Peng Nuan, isn’t that Commander Peng’s granddaughter?
It's really hard to deal with.
He glanced at Qin Yanyan and asked, "What about your father? I haven't seen him come to school."
"My mother divorced him." Qin Yanyan said frankly. After all, that man was very bad to her and her mother, so divorce was right!
Unexpectedly, as soon as she admitted it, the Chinese teacher nodded and said:
"What they said is not wrong. Your father and mother are divorced, so there is indeed no father to come."
"Peng Nuan is a good kid. She wouldn't let other students distance themselves from you. You must have misunderstood, or the other students simply don't want to play with you. The teacher will talk to the class later."
Qin Yanyan was anxious: "That's what she said. If she didn't tell other students, they wouldn't be like this!"
"Then you should reflect on yourself. Why did Peng Nuan criticize you instead of others? Your classmates definitely didn't ignore you simply because you don't have a father. Go back and think about it carefully."
The Chinese teacher waved his hand impatiently, obviously not wanting to listen to Qin Yanyan anymore.
Reflection?
Is it her fault that her parents are getting divorced?
Qin Yanyan was puzzled and was in a bad mood until school was over. Qin Zhichu noticed something was wrong, but no matter how he asked, Qin Yanyan refused to say anything.
It was not until Qin Zhichu prepared the meal and was ready to send it to Sun Zehua that Qin Yanyan, contrary to her usual behavior, insisted on going with him.
"Mom, I've finished my homework, so please let me go, okay?"
Yanyan rarely acts like a spoiled brat, and she is very understanding of Qin Zhichu's hard work.
Since his daughter rarely spoke up, Qin Zhichu readily agreed and even added a box of fruit so that Yanyan could eat some after dinner.
Because Qin Zhichu was coming to deliver lunch, Sun Zehua asked the entire company to go home half an hour earlier. However, even though Chen Rui was not there, many employees could not resist the gossip and would rather work overtime to catch a glimpse of the future boss's wife.
Before the car arrived, Sun Zehua was already standing in the hall, looking at his watch.
As soon as he appeared, the employees who had decided to wait and see ran away.
Are you kidding? Who dares to act rudely in front of the boss!
But the boss really values the boss lady, and actually came downstairs to pick her up personally. It seems that good things are about to happen.
"Uncle Sun."
When the car stopped, the first person to jump out was Qin Yanyan. She ran towards Sun Zehua like a young swallow flying into the forest. The latter had a smile on his face.
Qin Yanyan held Sun Zehua's hand, more affectionate than usual.
Qin Zhichu noticed something was wrong and looked at Sun Zehua.
Sun Zehua gave her a reassuring gesture and took the lunch box. "Go upstairs first. Don't stand there. You'll be tired."
He bent his arms and protected Qin Zhichu behind him.
Because Qin Zhichu often came, the office windows were often opened for ventilation, and many things were added, such as blankets and pillows on the sofa, and tableware for two people, etc., which added a bit of softness to the rigid lines.
"What's wrong with Yanyan? Who made you unhappy?"
Sun Zehua asked in a low voice while Qin Zhichu was setting the table.
Qin Yanyan was just feeling a little uncomfortable at first, but when Sun Zehua suddenly asked her, she felt extremely aggrieved. She curled her lips and answered with a trembling voice:
"They all bullied me."
There was a hint of crying in her voice. Sun Zehua was at a loss for a moment. He pulled out several tissues, but seeing that there were no traces of tears on Yanyan's little face, he had to hold them in his hands and pat her back gently.
"Whoever it is, tell Uncle Sun and he will help you."
Qin Zhichu naturally noticed the commotion as well. Seeing Yanyan complaining about her grievances in Sun Zehua's arms, he felt bitter in his heart.
I don’t know when it started, but Yanyan always reports good news but not bad news. She always talks about interesting things that happened at school in front of her, but never mentions anything else.
But how can life always be smooth sailing?
This child just loves her so much.
Qin Yanyan endured it again and again, pursed her lips, and spoke in a hoarse voice: "They said I didn't have a father, they said I was a wild child, Uncle Sun, I'm not a wild child, I have a mother."
"The teacher also asked me to reflect on my own problems, but it was because Dad was not good to us that we didn't want him. Mom and I were not wrong."
