He lowered his head, looking somewhat sad.It was as if he had been pushed into a corner with no way out.
Seeing their usually tough oldest brother driven to such a state, Zhou Zehan and Jiang Jiu were also furious.
As soon as Zhou Zedong finished speaking, his younger brother's high-pitched scolding rang out.
"You nasty crazy old hag, don't even think about extorting the money my brother and I earned. Our money is saved to buy gifts for our future little brother!"
After Second Child finished scolding, Jiang Jiu also threw a tantrum: "Oh heavens, are you going to let people do business in peace or not? This business is impossible to run! God, just take us away. If we can't make money, we'll all starve to death anyway."
Although Zhou Zedong was also angry, hearing his brother's and Jiang Jiu's scolding still made his mouth twitch uncontrollably.
After hearing this, the homeroom teacher immediately felt that the tuck shop owner's wife was completely out of her mind!
She knew these children were from out of town, from a relatively underdeveloped city. Just getting into this school was already not easy for them.
Earning money at such a young age to help out their family was supposed to be a very inspiring act.
Yet they were being targeted to such an extent. It was truly shameless and going way too far!
The tuck shop owner's wife was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged, and she almost jumped up in rage.
"You little brats, how dare you curse at me! Watch me teach you a good lesson today. You really don't know your place!"
"Hey, what do you think you're doing? If you lay a hand on them, I'll call the police!"
The homeroom teacher quickly blocked the three children, saying with righteous indignation, "And you call yourself an adult! To think you'd actually try to hit three children. Have you no shame?"
"Even if the Emperor of Heaven himself came today, these children have done nothing wrong! Report this if you have the guts. I'd like to see who is really the one going overboard here!"
"We teachers have all seen it with our own eyes. The two children were doing business outside and didn't affect you at all. On what grounds are you stopping them?"
Seeing her take the children's side, the tuck shop owner's wife was half-dead with anger.
"You... do you still want your job? Do you know who I am?"
"Bah, I don't care who you are, what does it have to do with me? You were about to hit the children in my class, and you still expect me to speak nicely to you? Even if you don't report this, I'm going to complain to the principal. I want to see which shameless person will stand by your side to bully a few children!"
After saying that, she couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to the furiously stomping owner's wife, and escorted the children out.
She also comforted them, telling them not to be afraid, and that if the owner's wife ever gave them trouble again, they should tell her!
At this moment, the homeroom teacher's sense of justice was overflowing. Let alone the tuck shop owner's wife, even if the Emperor of Heaven came down, he wouldn't be allowed to bully her students.
The children sweetly thanked her, which made her heart swell with joy, and she walked them out of the school with a gentle expression.
After picking up their younger sister, the children headed home.
Right after they left, a luxury car drove into the school.
The tuck shop owner's wife was furiously complaining to her husband, telling him to go to the principal and teach those kids a lesson, preferably by getting them expelled.
At this moment, her husband was complaining to the principal, saying that the children were ignorant and incompetent, and were selling junk food at school. Not only were they breaking discipline, but if someone got an upset stomach, the school would be held responsible.
Since he made it sound so serious, the principal couldn't help but pay some attention to it.
It was true that the school had never encountered such a situation before.
Just as he was about to leave it to him to issue a warning, he heard his assistant come in and anxiously say, "Principal, Director Jiang is here."
The principal immediately stood up. "Quick, invite her in."
Grandma Xiao was invited in by the bowing and scraping assistant.
"Chairman Jiang, please, please have a seat. What brings you to the elementary school so suddenly today? Your presence brings light to our humble dwelling," the principal smiled.
"Spare me the pleasantries," Grandma Xiao said, lifting her chin and sweeping a disdainful glance over them. "I heard from my grandson that recently there are a few children doing business at school and breaking school rules? I came to ask how you are handling it."
The principal's heart immediately skipped a beat. Why would such a trivial matter cause a big shot from the Xiao family to make a special trip?
Could it be that it affected her grandson?
When her grandson enrolled this year, the Xiao family had donated an entire building to their school.
This was absolutely someone they could not afford to offend.
"Yes, there is such a matter, but it has already been handled. We will warn the students, and this kind of thing will definitely not happen again in the future. Rest assured, it absolutely will not affect your grandson."
Grandma Xiao snorted coldly. "Why warn them? Isn't it good for children to have such ideas? Do you think just burying their heads in books is the only good thing? I think your school's education is too rigid, causing children to be unable to freely do what they want, broaden their minds, and create opportunities. Is them earning a few bucks going to kill your school? On what grounds are you stopping them?"
"I have acquired your school's tuck shop. All the money earned from now on will be invested into these children as their tuition fees. You are not allowed to cause trouble for these children anymore."
"Huh?" The principal was dumbfounded.
The tuck shop owner, who had come to complain, was also dumbfounded.
......
"Mom, we're back."
"Auntie Si, I want to sleep with Second Brother today. Could you help me call my dad?"
On such a cold day, the two children chased each other, walking into the house sweating profusely.
As a result, as soon as they entered the door, they smelled a pungent stench.
The two were stunned and immediately pinched their small noses.
What was going on? Did his mom spread manure on the vegetables she planted today?
"Second Brother, why does your house smell so bad today?"
Jiang Jiu's pretty and delicate little face scrunched up into a ball.
Second Child was even more exaggerated than him. He had been sensitive to smells since he was little. If someone's family was cooking meat, Second Child could smell it from far away.
Therefore, this smell was absolutely lethal to him.
He tilted his head to look for Da Huang, only to find that Da Huang had hidden in his own little doghouse and had even pulled the door shut.
Although it was very smelly, this was his home after all. A dog doesn't despise its home for being poor, and a person shouldn't despise their home for being smelly.
Second Child walked in, covering his nose.
He saw his dad sitting at the dining table, while his mom sat on the sofa. The two were sitting very far apart, as if they weren't familiar with each other.
Normally, his dad would always sit right next to his mom.
His dad's expression didn't look too good either, appearing a bit green.
But he remained silent, not saying a word.
Second Child found it very strange, but then he thought that since his dad wasn't sitting with his mom today, no one would fight with him for the spot.
He immediately ran over.
"Mom, Mom, did you spread manure on the vegetables today?"
Mom said she wanted to eat baby bok choy, so Dad got some foam boxes, filled them with soil, and scattered some seeds.
However, for the vegetables planted in the yard, Mom always let them grow on their own and never poured manure on them.
Only the ones planted in the fields would need that.
Si Nian turned her head to glance at Second Child, her eyes lighting up. "Little Han is back. Quick, come here, Mom made something delicious for you, come have a taste."
