When Gang Gang was going against Da Bao earlier, his mother had not said a word. Now that Su Bei spoke up about it, his mother was the first to pounce.
With a small smile, Su Bei said, “I’m just joking as well. Can’t I do that?”
She had a gentle smile on her face and was dressed like a housewife today. With that bright smile, she did not look threatening at all.
However, Gang Gang’s mother was unconvinced. “But you can’t joke about something like this to a child. Is my son someone you can joke with like this?”
“Then just take it as though I’m telling the truth. If anyone dares to bully my son in school, don’t blame me for being rude!” Su Bei said in a calm but determined voice.
Most of the other parents were on Su Bei’s side.
Besides, Gang Gang had pestered and harassed Da Bao several times but Da Bao always ignored him. It was Gang Gang’s fault for pushing his luck and provoking Da Bao again. There was nothing wrong with Su Bei protecting her son.
Gang Gang’s mother shouted, “Oh, so you dare to hit others? Alright, let’s see what you can do. Hit me, then! Hit me!”
Faced with such a shrewish parent, the others quickly protected their children and kept their distance. They did not expect that there would be such a parent in this school.
Da Bao protected Su Bei. “Su Bei, we won’t stoop to their level.”
Su Bei was too thin. Although she was tall, she was fragile. There was no need to argue with a woman like Gang Gang’s mother.
He was not tall enough and had not learned the skills to protect Su Bei.
Holding Da Bao’s hand, Su Bei decided to forget about it.
She and Da Bao were about to leave when Gang Gang’s mother said indignantly, “You have to apologize to Gang Gang! Otherwise, you can’t leave! Hubby, stop her!”
Gang Gang’s father stood tall and strong in front of them.
What? Su Bei thought that she had misheard them. It was one thing for them not to talk about their son bullying others but they wanted her to apologize as well?
“Let’s forget about it. Madam, let’s all keep things friendly and move on from this.”
“That’s right. It’s just a small conflict between children.”
Gang Gang’s mother said angrily, “What little conflict? If they don’t apologize now, what about my son’s dignity? Today, Su Zhuoqian and his mother must apologize to me. Otherwise…”
Su Bei stopped walking and turned to look at her. “Otherwise, what will you do?”
“Otherwise, let Su Zhuoqian fight with Gang Gang. If you win, we’ll apologize. If we win, we’ll apologize to you.”
“That doesn’t sound right. Gang Gang is almost eight years old. Su Zhuoqian is only four years old.”
“That’s right. Madam, this isn’t too appropriate.”
It was obvious that Gang Gang’s mother wanted to bully Su Bei and Da Bao.
Especially when she saw that Lu Heting was not here. Without his oppressive aura, she was very brave.
Da Bao stepped forward. “Are you sure?”
“I know you don’t dare to fight, so you should just apologize to Gang Gang,” Gang Gang’s mother said domineeringly.
Anyway, her son was tall and strong. He was not at a disadvantage at all. Even a ten-year-old child might not be his match, let alone Da Bao.
“Okay, then.” Da Bao handed his pencil case to Su Bei.
“Wait a minute,” Su Bei called out to them. “Why don’t we agree on a one-minute time limit? The match will end in one minute. We’ll end it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it won’t be good for both parties if someone gets hurt.”
…
Su Bei was thinking, ‘How dare you hit my son? Did you get my permission?’
