"I don't want to be associated with this."
Her clear eyes were determined and full of anger.
"I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely will not go along with you guys!"
Snapped!
Huang Lian, who was furious, slapped Xia Yuan in the face. The crisp sound made the whole classroom quiet down, and a bright red palm print immediately appeared on Xia Yuan's fair cheek.
It has been more than ten years since Xia Yuan grew up, and her parents, grandmother, Lin Youxi, Mei Fang, and many other friends have never let her suffer such injustice.
But Xia Yuan, who always plays the role of a crybaby, did not shed tears this time. Instead, she remained unwilling to be outdone and stared at Huang Lian firmly.
Almost at the same time, Huang Lian was suddenly pulled back a few steps.
The one who pulled her away was Peng Xue, who was originally standing on the podium as punishment.
Peng Xue seemed to be greatly stimulated after seeing Xia Yuan being slapped for her. She burst out with aggressive murderous intent. She grabbed the collar of Huang Lian, who was not much taller than her and had a thin body, and slapped her hard. Amid her screams, the two of them started fighting by grabbing each other's hair.
The students in the class had never seen such a scene before. Everyone was stunned for a while, and finally the two were pulled apart under the command of the class monitor Chen Jiacong.
Huang Lian was furious and pointed at Peng Xue and yelled, "Get out of here! Pack your bags and leave now! I don't have a student like you who has a corrupt character and no respect for elders!"
After beating Huang Lian, Peng Xue ignored her and went back to her seat. She rubbed Xia Yuan's cheek with heartache and began to pack her schoolbag.
"I...I'll go with you too!"
Peng Xue shook her head and smiled. She smoothed her messy hair and patted Xia Yuan's head gently. "You have done enough for me. Thank you, Yuanyuan."
“It’s really fun to be with you guys.”
"I'll always remember that."
Beating a teacher was considered a very serious incident by people in this small county. It was basically impossible for Peng Xue to stay in school and continue her studies after this incident, so she tactfully carried her schoolbag, held her head high, and walked out of the classroom with confidence. The students next to her avoided her under her aura.
She is very proud.
She never searches.
……
The loud noise made by the class next door caused the head teachers of class 9 and class 7 who were studying to run over to check it out. After Li Shibing left, the students in the class were in a commotion, and many curious students planned to sneak over to watch. It was Lin Youxi who maintained order and calmed the class.
When Mei Fang was delivering beef noodles, he heard Xia Yuan talk about the incident of smashing the Huanglian cup. He was already worried. Then, when he saw Peng Xue striding through the corridor with her schoolbag in hand, rubbing her eyes, he immediately realized that something must have happened to Yuanyuan.
That day, Huang Lian kept all the students in Class 8 after school until eight o'clock. When Xia Yuan dragged her exhausted body out of the classroom, she saw Mei Fang and Lin Youxi still waiting in the corridor. Without thinking, she threw herself into their arms.
Lin Youxi and Mei Fang tacitly did not ask anything, they just let Xia Yuan hug them.
Exhausted, Xia Yuan accompanied the two halfway before gradually sorting out his thoughts and telling Mei Fang and Lin Youxi about the farce that happened in the evening.
After listening to this, Mei Fang had a lot to say and a lot of anger to vent. This was the first time in his life that he was so angry at someone.
However, seeing Yuanyuan's haggard face, he couldn't bear to let Xia Yuan recall the pain just now and vent his anger.
She described it in very fragments, but Mei Fang could roughly imagine the scene at that time.
Peng Xue almost replicated her journey into the abyss in her previous life, but this time she was not alone. Xia Yuan became her only light, just as she was Lin Youxi's light in the past. Mei Fang's rescue of Xia Yuan became Xia Yuan's rescue of Peng Xue, and she pulled Peng Xue back from the edge of the cliff.
"Yuanyuan...you are really amazing."
In Mei Fang's opinion, going against the whole world for a friend was something that even he, a reborn person, could not be absolutely sure of doing in that atmosphere at that time, but she did it, and it was extremely brilliant.
"You were able to stick to your own ideas and stand on her side in front of so many people. This is the courage that a child of your age cannot have. To be honest, I may not be as resolute as you. Peng Xue must be very grateful to have you as a friend, and that's why she stood up for you at that time."
"I wish she wouldn't help me..."
Xia Yuan has been feeling very sad and blamed herself for this, "This means Xiaoxue won't be able to stay in our class or in our school."
"Since the whole incident was caused by a misunderstanding, if we can clear up this misunderstanding, maybe the principal can make some concessions."
Lin Youxi didn't ask many questions, but she held Xia Yuan's hand tightly and analyzed the problem for her: "Let's think of a solution together. Ask more people in the nearby classes tomorrow. If we find the real culprit, the responsibility for the cause can be transferred to the yellow-faced woman."
"Haha, Youxi, why are you calling her a yellow-faced woman too?"
"Why can't I scream? How dare you bully our Yuanyuan?"
Lin Youxi gently stroked Xia Yuan's right cheek, her words full of heartache, "We grew up together, and you've never been beaten like this..."
"It doesn't hurt that much, actually. Hehe... Especially after Xiaoxue helped me beat up that yellow-faced woman, I felt really refreshed! But, are you willing to believe with me that Xiaoxue is not the criminal?"
"Of course."
Mei Fang gently pinched Xia Yuan's cheek and said, "Didn't I say before that no matter what decision you make, I will unconditionally protect and support you."
"Me too."
Lin Youxi held Xia Yuan's hand.
"Hehehe... It's great to have you guys here."
As Xia Yuan was talking, he turned his head and looked at Mei Fang.
"But... it's just... I'm really tired now, and I kind of want - um, I want Ah Fang's super energy right now, okay?"
In the past, Mei Fang would definitely be troubled for a long time when encountering such a situation, let alone this was in front of Lin Youxi.
But today is a special case.
Mei Fang hugged her without thinking and even carried Xia Yuan around twice.
Lin Youxi watched from the side with her lips pursed, her eyes full of a gentle smile.
Xia Yuan got down from Mei Fang's arms, but she was not satisfied yet. Instead, she moved towards Lin Youxi and opened her arms.
"And then... and then there is the super energy!"
Lin Youxi didn't seem to be particularly surprised by this term, which made Mei Fang feel a little disappointed that he was being too sentimental.
Alfang's super energy, it seems that it is not a special term!
However, if I just share a unique title with Youxi, then it’s nothing...
Mei Fang watched the girls he liked being close to each other with peace of mind. After his smile faded, his expression gradually became serious.
The current primary goal of this matter is to clear Peng Xue of the injustice and find out the real culprit who broke the cup so that Peng Xue can return to the classroom.
Of course, this alone is definitely not enough.
The main culprit will not leave the stage because of this.
Young children dare not or do not know how to resist the unreasonable discipline of adults, but once they know how to do it and have the courage to do so, they will soon understand that students are not always the weaker party.
It needs to be acknowledged that the vast majority of teachers are good teachers who are willing to love and care about their students and live up to their responsibility of teaching and educating.
However, teachers like Huang Lian do exist.
When being targeted like this, being submissive and tolerant will only encourage the other party's arrogance.
Resistance is the only way out.
Mei Fang has made up his mind and will now begin preparing a tactical plan.
I can't let my Yuanyuan suffer from this shrewd woman anymore.
Chapter 097 We'll Go with You
After saying goodbye to Youxi on the road, Mei Fang escorted Xia Yuan back to her home and encouraged Xia Yuan to tell her parents what had happened.
In fact, Xia Yuan was very concerned at first whether to tell her parents. She felt that this would cause trouble for her parents, but Mei Fang insisted that she do so.
Because Yuanyuan's parents will listen carefully to their daughter's concerns, and they also have enough ability to assist Yuanyuan.
Problems arise if you don't talk to your parents about this kind of thing.
After learning that his daughter was beaten, Xia Xun was so angry that he wanted to drive to the class teacher to settle the score, but was stopped by his wife, Teacher Yu.
"How can there be such an unreasonable teacher who insists on accusing your friend without any evidence, and even dares to hit my precious Yuanyuan... Honey, don't stop me!"
"I'm angrier than you are, but you won't solve the problem this way."
Xia Yuan's admission to Class 8 was the result of Teacher Yu's hard work. Xia Yuan's high-intensity academic pressure every day had already made her feel a little uneasy, and the fact that she had entrusted her work to the wrong person made her feel deeply guilty.
Xia Yuan was already a little exhausted at this time, so more details were added by Mei Fang.
"I will contact the principal of your school tomorrow and report the situation. In this day and age, corporal punishment of students is clearly not supported anymore, but she can still do such a thing. I think she is no longer worthy of being Yuanyuan's teacher... No, she is no longer worthy of being a teacher of people."
When Teacher Yu said this, Mei Fang felt very comfortable.
In her previous life, Mei Fang did not have any teacher she particularly liked or disliked. However, Teacher Yu, who listened carefully to students' ideas, actively communicated with students, and always cared about the class, left a very deep impression on Mei Fang's six years of primary school life. Almost no students in the class disliked her, and she was regarded as a role model for teachers in Mei Fang's mind.
"Teacher Yu, I have another question... It's about Yuanyuan's friend Peng Xue. She attacked the teacher because she was wronged by the teacher and Yuanyuan was beaten. In this case, can she still go back to school?"
"First of all, fighting is definitely not something to be encouraged. But if it is confirmed that Peng Xue was wrongly accused, the possibility of her being expelled will be much smaller, because in this case, it becomes that Yuanyuan's class teacher was at fault first."
"Okay... Thank you, Mr. Yu. I understand."
Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan, who was drowsy in the chair. After a burst of heartache, she whispered to Xia Yuan's parents, "Teacher Yu, can you ask for a day off for Yuan Yuan tomorrow? Youxi and I will help Peng Xue find the person who really broke the cup. If Peng Xue can't continue to go to school because of protecting Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan will definitely blame herself."
"Okay! I'll make the call!"
Xia Xun went to get his phone angrily, but was called back by Teacher Yu.
After scolding her husband, she began to educate Mei Fang earnestly.
"Ah Fang... Teacher is very grateful that you defended Yuanyuan so much, but you must also remember to control your emotions and use reasonable and legal means to fight for your rights. Don't do anything impulsive, understand?"
"Don't worry, Teacher Yu."
Mei Fang patted his chest gently and said, "I have listened to your teachings since I was a child. I will never do anything stupid."
"That's right, this is the good student I taught."
Teacher Yu touched Mei Fang's head with a smile, gave Mei Fang some special instructions, and then let him go home.
The next day, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi gathered at the bus stop early. They didn't have to go to school on Saturday, and it happened to be a holiday for National Day, which gave Mei Fang and Lin Youxi room to maneuver.
On the day that Yuanyuan is resting, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi want to clear the grievances of Xia Yuan and Peng Xue.
The classrooms of the county junior high school have not yet been used as college entrance examination venues, so there are no surveillance cameras in the classrooms, which is a pity.
But Xia Yuan actually explained very clearly how the cup was broken in his explanation yesterday.
When Xia Yuan and Peng Xue were present, the cup was intact; Xia Yuan went to the restroom for about five minutes, and Peng Xue had been waiting in the classroom for a hygiene inspection. It was only after she went to argue with the person who inspected the hygiene that she discovered the cup was broken.
Lin Youxi pondered, "Considering the time Yuanyuan spent in the bathroom and the time Peng Xue spent waiting for the inspection, the time to break the cup was estimated to be less than a minute, or even half a minute. No one was around the classroom at the time except Peng Xue and the members who were inspecting hygiene. Afterwards, Peng Xue didn't notice anyone coming in or out of the class, so we should start our investigation with the students who were inspecting hygiene."
