His mother had inculcated in him, from a very early age, that one must not tell lies and that one must take responsibility for the things he had done!
He had always abided by her teachings and had never once forgotten them.
His father then asked, âWho started the fight?â
âHim.â He pointed a finger to Lin Feng with a pout.
âDid he hit you first?â
âYep!â
âThen, you retaliated?â
He frankly admitted, âYes. When he hit me with that pencil box, I retaliated as I got hurt.â
âYou hurt him as a result.â
The manâs eyes deepened. The boy, however, stuck out his tongue and nodded, not forgetting to defend himself. âDaddy, itâs called self-defense.â
Mu Yazheâs head inclined upward, only to see the other parent denying it promptly. âMy kid didnât start the fight! Itâs clearly started by your son! Not only did your boy not admit to his wrongdoing, he even dared push the blame on mine!â
She then caressed her sonâs cheek, feeling heartache for him. Blood still seeped through despite the plaster on his forehead. It was quite a terrible sight.
âMy baby has never suffered such a grievance before! I donât even know if this wound will heal properly or if it will leave a scar! Itâs on the face as well!â
The form teacher said neutrally, âMadam Lin, his forehead wound isnât serious and will probably recover in a few days. Since itâs quite shallow, I donât think itâll leave any scar behind, too! Letâs not make things too awkward for everyone here and just settle this in a peaceful manner, alright?â
âSettle peacefully?!â The woman frowned right away. âTalk is cheap, indeed! You want to settle this peacefully? Just because the wound is shallow, it doesnât matter anymore, does it? Is this matter going to be brushed aside just like that?! Fine! In that case, get his son to come over and let my boy beat him up! Only then will I let this matter be dropped!â
The teacherâs face stiffened. This mother had gone overboard!
How could she say such words?!
The other boy was merely a child, yet she would not even let a child off!
âBeat my son up?â The man scoffed at what he heard. âI want to see just who dares to touch even a strand of my sonâs hair!â
His words were neither harsh nor loud, and a dignified smile even hung on his face, yet it was enough to frighten the others in the room.
âNever mind the child not knowing manners, but does the parent also not know it?â His son voiced his thoughts. âDaddy, donât stoop to their level!â
âYou...â
âEveryone else in class bore witness to this matter! Whatâs there to quibble about when itâs clear who started it? When Lin Feng started hitting me, I didnât bother with it at first, but he got out of hand, and thatâs why I retaliated! Hah! In the end, he lost the fight that he started himself. What a sore loser!â
His words shocked the teacher immensely. She hastily stopped him from speaking further. âThatâs enough!â
She had always known that Yun Tianyouâs maturity was beyond that of his peers. He had a sense of responsibility and was a humorous child. Although he was not the oldest kid in class, the other children treated him as a big brother.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hence, she was truly fond of him.
It was just that his classmateâs mother was a difficult person to deal with.
From her understanding of the woman, this extremely mean woman was hard to please and often spoke unkindly.
She was not easy to get along with because she thought highly of herself. Not only did she come from a wealthy family, her husband was rather affluent, too.
