Chapter 67: Have your colleagues who are busy with important matters find a time to teach their sons properly in front of me.

Su Taotao didn’t shout like a shrew; her tone was always calm and polite, the kind that could charm anyone, but it was enough to drive someone up the wall.

Su Taotao glanced at the other two boys standing by the wall, who were in no better condition than Fu Yuanhang, glaring at her with stubborn looks, and asked Director Chen:

"Director Chen, where are the parents of the other two culprits?"

Director Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Comrade Su, they have some things to attend to and can't come. This is just a small fight between kids. They've already apologized, and we'll handle any compensation if needed."

Su Taotao said: "The parents aren't here. Who am I supposed to ask for compensation from? Does the school plan to cover the costs of fights between kids?"

Director Chen: "...That's not what I meant. Wherever possible, one should be forgiving..."

Su Taotao interrupted him: "Hasn't this happened before? Is this how you smooth things over every time? These two kids have more than one parent, don't they?"

Director Chen: "...That's not what I meant. The male comrades, like your colleague Fu, are usually very busy, doing important work for the country and its people. These are minor issues for them..."

Su Taotao: "Minor issues? I'm sorry, but in our family, our child's matters are major issues. Children are the flowers of our motherland, the future of our country. How dare you call this a minor issue?"

No matter how much Director Chen wiped, the sweat kept coming. Had he been deceived by Su Taotao's appearance? Her sharp tongue was unexpected. How had he ever thought she was a gentle and easily managed person?

"Director Chen, please write down the names of the parents of these three kids. If you can't handle this, I will."

Su Taotao paused and emphasized: "The male parents."

The parent of one of the kids present became a little anxious at the thought of involving her husband: "Why do you need to know my husband's name? Why should I tell you?"

Su Taotao: "I'm not interested in your husband's name. I'm only interested in the names of the male parents whose kids have hit ours."

The kid's parent: "What exactly do you want?"

Su Taotao: "An apology, compensation, and a guarantee that this won't happen again."

One of the kid's parents and the two boys by the wall said in unison: "Why should we?"

One of the chubby boys glared at Fu Yuanhang: "He's an outcast and a pretty boy. Why is his face so white? I was just trying to make his face less pale! And he dared to hit me!"

The other boy, thin as a monkey, chimed in: "Yeah, we didn't do anything wrong!"

Su Taotao sneered: "Director Chen, is this the apology and mutual respect you were talking about? Harmony is valued above all?"

"I don’t let things slide. I’m not one to sweep problems under the rug. Our child experienced this on his very first day of school. I believe it has not only caused physical harm but also left a shadow and hurt on his heart. We need a resolution today!"

The two boys even tried to surround Su Taotao and make a move, but the two teachers nearby quickly held them back.

If they had dared to touch her, this situation would have escalated quickly.

Among the watching kids, one slightly paler boy stepped forward and said timidly: "Xiao Pang and Xiao Hou also scratched my face with coal last time and stepped on my schoolbag."

Another girl stepped forward: "They pulled my pigtails and put a gecko in my pencil case last time, and they even tore the cover of my book. The teacher didn't do anything."

She said the last part very quietly.

Another smaller boy added: "They deliberately pulled my stool away last time, and I fell and hit my head, causing a swelling. They didn't apologize, and when they peed, they deliberately splashed it on my feet..."

One by one, more classmates stood up, each accusing those troublemakers of their misdeeds.

Not only was Su Taotao furious, but Auntie Zhong was also getting angrier as she asked Mo Jialin, "Mo Jialin, have they ever bullied you?"

Mo Jialin lifted his clothes and said softly, "When I tried to stop the fight earlier, Xiao Pang kicked me."

He hadn’t planned to say anything, but Fu Yuanhang was his new friend, so he felt compelled to help. Seeing someone hit his friend, he naturally went up to break it up. Later, when he couldn’t handle it, he ran to get a teacher.

When he came back, they were already fighting fiercely. He had actually taken a kick for Fu Yuanhang.

Auntie Zhong saw that Mo Jialin’s waist was bruised and walked over angrily. She reached out, wanting to slap Xiao Pang, but Su Taotao held her back, "We’re on the right side here. If we hit him, we’ll lose the moral high ground. No need to rush; justice will be served."

Su Taotao hugged Chenchen, "So, Director Chen, and teachers, do you still want to sweep this under the rug? Is this how you educate the children? When kids are bullied at school, you tell them to stay silent?"

Director Chen, with a headache, had no choice but to write down the names of the children’s parents for her.

"May I borrow your phone?"

Su Taotao called Fu Zhengtu in front of them:

"Fu Zhengtu, I'm at the school. Your brother was ambushed and beaten by the sons of Cheng Jianguo, Xu Weidong, and Li Dongqing. His clothes are torn, and his schoolbag is ruined. I don't know the extent of his injuries yet. I'll take him to the hospital for a medical examination.

Have your busy colleagues find time to teach their precious sons a lesson in front of me. If they don’t have the time, I’ll find some time to teach them myself. I can’t guarantee how light or heavy my hand will be. Oh, by the way, Mo Gong's son was also beaten. You should inform him."

Whatever Fu Zhengtu said on the other end, Su Taotao responded with a couple of "mm-hm"s and hung up.

The infirmary was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Throughout the entire exchange, Su Taotao never raised her voice or showed any aggression. She didn’t even bother to look at the other children much, let alone scold or hit them.

But her approach and the aura of credibility she exuded made everyone afraid to breathe too loudly.

No one dared to say a word, let alone go against her train of thought.

Su Taotao put down the phone and said to Director Chen, "Director Chen, shouldn’t we think about reforming the educational approach in our school?"

Before leaving, she smilingly pinched the cheek of her little one and said softly, "Come on, let’s take your little uncle to the hospital first. Mom will make you a delicious shrimp and winter melon soup for dinner."

"Okay~~" Chenchen struggled to get off the ground and took his uncle’s hand.

Mo Jialin followed, walking to the other side of Fu Yuanhang, and said guiltily, "I wish I had stayed to help you block more hits instead of running to get the teacher."

Mo Jialin was the first friend Fu Yuanhang met after arriving on the island. If it weren’t for him helping to hold off Xiao Pang, he might not have been able to take down the others so quickly.

If the teacher hadn’t arrived in time, Xiao Pang would have tried to hit someone with a chair.

Fu Yuanhang shook his head, "Thank you, and I’m sorry you got hit because of me."

Mo Jialin waved his hand, "It’s nothing. You, on the other hand, though you look slim, I didn’t expect you to be so good at fighting. I’ve never seen them beaten so badly, one against three. You’re amazing."

Boys tend to look up to those who can fight well. If he weren’t older than Fu Yuanhang, he would want to make him their leader right now.

In the past, Fu Yuanhang wouldn’t have fought like that. He might have just protected the vital areas and taken the beating, then acted like nothing happened. Looking back at Su Taotao, he whispered, "My sister-in-law taught me well."

Mo Jialin, startled, also looked back, "Your sister-in-law can fight too?"

Fu Yuanhang nodded, "She can do anything. She’s amazing."

Recalling what just happened, Mo Jialin nodded with some lingering fear, "She is really amazing."
