To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

"Mom—Mom—" Yun Xiaoshan cried out as he looked at Zhiyuan and tried to pull his mother away.

Yun Xiaoshan's mother wouldn't listen to reason and demanded an explanation from the teacher: "Where did you get this candy? Is there a manufacturer? Can you show me the recipe?"

"This..." The teacher was dumbfounded. "This is not the candy that our kindergarten gave out."

Zhiyuan, being a man of action, immediately stood up and said, "Xiaoshan's mother, this candy is for Yun Xiaoshan, not given by the teacher."

The teacher looked at Zhiyuan as if he had seen a savior. "Li Zhiyuan, come quickly and tell Xiaoshan's mother where you got this candy."

The entire class fell silent, because Yun Xiaoshan's mother was too frightening; it seemed as if anyone who stepped forward would be torn apart.

However, the teacher asked Zhiyuan to go up.

Zhiyuan was actually a little scared, but he really was the one who gave him the candy, so since Yun Xiaoshan's mother had come to question him, he had to face it.

As he passed by the round-faced boy, the boy grabbed his hand and whispered, "Li Zhiyuan, don't go! You'll get beaten by Yun Xiaoshan's mother."

Zhiyuan knows...

So what can be done?

The teacher waved to him from the stage, "Li Zhiyuan, come here and explain things clearly to Xiaoshan's mother."

Zhiyuan gently pulled his hand out of the little round-faced boy's hand and walked forward.

"Li Zhiyuan." The childcare worker took his hand. "Don't be afraid."

Then, he accompanied him to Yun Xiaoshan's mother and said to her, "Xiaoshan's mother, Li Zhiyuan shared candy with Xiaoshan as a gesture of friendship. There's nothing wrong with Xiaoshan eating the candy."

The little girl, who had been scared, mustered up her courage and shouted, "I ate too! I'm fine!"

"Can you compare to our Xiaoshan? Whose child are you? Are you as precious as Xiaoshan?" Yun Xiaoshan's mother launched into a tirade against the round-faced girl.

The little girl pouted, trying hard not to let her tears fall.

Zhiyuan frowned and took a step forward. "The candy was given to me by my family; it was homemade."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoshan's mother immediately exploded, her voice so shrill it almost shattered the roof, "You made this yourself? Who in your family made this? Do you even have a medical certificate to make food for our Xiaoshan? Are your family members sick? Don't you have any sense of hygiene? How dare you make food for our Xiaoshan?"

Yun Xiaoshan stared at Zhiyuan, seemingly suddenly realizing something, and became even more hysterical, "You're that wild child from the countryside? Your countryside is so dirty, how could you give your food to our Xiaoshan to eat?"

After saying that, she looked at the other children and said, "And you, how many of you have eaten this? Go back and tell your parents. Who knows how many bacteria the people from the countryside brought here!"

The childcare worker said sternly, "Xiaoshan's mother, what you're saying is wrong. What's wrong with being from the countryside? Everything you wear and eat is produced by people from the countryside. Please don't teach other children bad things here."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoshan's mother turned red with anger and pointed at the childcare worker, yelling, "I don't care what others do! Today, your kindergarten needs to give me an explanation! If anything happens to my son, your kindergarten needs to take responsibility!"

"What's wrong with Yun Xiaoshan? He looks perfectly fine, isn't he?" the childcare worker said angrily.

The teacher, however, kept giving the childcare worker meaningful glances.

Yun Xiaoshan was also there, crying and grabbing at his mother, "Mom, I'm okay, I'm really fine..."

She cried while looking at Zhiyuan.

"Shut up!" Yun Xiaoshan's mother turned around and yelled at her son, pointing at the childcare worker, "He seems fine now, but some effects are chronic and long-term. Can you guarantee that? Can you guarantee that our Xiaoshan will never get sick in his life? If you can guarantee that, I'll let your kindergarten off the hook today!"

"Isn't this just being unreasonable..."

The caregiver tried to argue her point, but Yun Xiaoshan's mother pushed her directly.

Zhiyuan felt that this was his mistake. How could he let the childcare teacher be bullied in his place?

He immediately rushed in front of the childcare worker and shielded her behind him.

Yun Xiaoshan's mother pushed Zhiyuan's head.

Zhiyuan was young and respected the other person as an adult. He never intended to fight with an adult, so he couldn't withstand the push. He immediately fell down.

Unfortunately, the back of his head hit the corner of the chair.

Zhiyuan felt a sharp pain in his head and collapsed to the ground.

He was about to get up on his own when he heard the little round-faced voice shouting, "Blood! Li Zhiyuan is bleeding a lot!"

The childcare worker picked him up and rushed out of the classroom, shouting, "Notify Li Zhiyuan's parents!"

Yun Xiaoshan's mother panicked for the first time, and Yun Xiaoshan burst into tears.

Little Round Face also cried, glaring at Yun Xiaoshan as he sobbed: "You didn't fall, why are you crying? You still have the nerve to cry! It's all your fault!"

Yun Xiaoshan had no idea that the little round-faced girl was glaring at him like that; he just raised his head and cried loudly.

The homeroom teacher was so upset by the crying that she felt she couldn't stay at the kindergarten any longer. Even if the principal didn't punish her, she didn't want to work there anymore and decided to find another job!

Once a person is willing to risk everything, there's nothing to be afraid of. He called out to Yun Xiaoshan's mother, "Could you please move aside? Don't get in my way!"

She needed to find the principal and also check the class handbook to see how Li Zhiyuan's parents would notify her. Yun Xiaoshan's mother happened to be blocking the doorway of the cabinet where the handbook was kept.

Yun Xiaoshan's mother was used to arguing with the homeroom teacher, and the teacher never dared to talk back. But now that the teacher was speaking to her so loudly, Yun Xiaoshan's initial panic disappeared, and she angrily shouted, "What kind of attitude is this? Is this how a teacher should act?"

"Get out of my way! Didn't you see Li Zhiyuan is injured?" the teacher yelled angrily.

Yun Xiaoshan's mother raised her eyebrows. "So what if he's injured? Wasn't he taken to the hospital? We'll pay for whatever it costs! It's not like we can't afford it!"

The teacher looked at Yun Xiaoshan, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded and had even forgotten to cry. She imagined that if Yun Xiaoshan grew up and caused trouble, he would say in the same tone as his mother: "I'll pay whatever it costs. It's not like I can't afford to pay." She couldn't help but feel a chill.

The homeroom teacher nodded. "Okay! In that case, I'll go make the call now!"

The teacher bypassed Yun Xiaoshan's mother, rushed out of the classroom, ran to the dean's office, and made a phone call.

The kindergarten director was shocked. "What are you doing? Where are you calling?"

"Something's happened!" the teacher said, tears streaming down her face, as she waited for the call to connect.

At this moment, Yun Xiaoshan's mother also arrived with Yun Xiaoshan in her arms.

As soon as I entered the principal's office, I heard the class's homeroom teacher talking on the phone. "Yes, this is Miaomiao Kindergarten. Something happened here. A parent beat a student until he bled. No, it was a parent who beat someone else's child until he bled. I'm calling to report it to the police. Yes, could you please come over?"

"What? You actually dared to report this to the police?" Yun Xiaoshan's mother screamed.

The kindergarten director panicked, "Are you calling the police station?"

"Yes!" The teacher put down the phone, wiping away her tears. "I called the police station, and they sent people over immediately! Li Zhiyuan was pushed to the ground by Yun Xiaoshan's mother, and he hit his head and got a hole in it! Neither I nor the principal can bear this responsibility! How could I not report it to the police?"

"I think you don't want to work here anymore! Teacher Ai! It's such a small thing, and you're going to report it to the police? You don't think the police station will deal with me, do you? You should think about yourself first. How many times have I tolerated you? I think you should just get out of here this time!" Yun Xiaoshan's mother cursed loudly.

"I just don't want to do this anymore!" The homeroom teacher, Ms. Ai, was also on the verge of a breakdown. "I've had enough of you! I'm a teacher, not your maid! Not someone you can boss around! Over the past two years, I've wanted to say 'I quit! I hate you!' more than once! But I never dared! Fine, today, I'll just end it all! I'm quitting! Principal, you decide! Transfer me, fire me, whatever! Anything is fine! As long as I don't see this woman anymore! I don't have to put up with this crazy woman's bullying!"

"What? You actually called me a crazy woman? I..." Xiaoshan's mother's face changed, and she grabbed something to hit her again.

The kindergarten principal was about to intervene, but Teacher Ai stopped her, saying, "Let her hit her! It's good to have the police come and see that this crazy woman hit the child and then the teacher!"

In short, Xiaoshan's mother was frozen in place, and they really couldn't continue fighting.

Yun Xiaoshan was also there, clinging to his mother's leg and wailing, "Mom, don't hit her, don't hit the teacher, don't hit the classmate, Mom..."

Amidst the chaos, the headmistress tried to soothe both the children and the adults, her head throbbing with pain.

The police from the local police station arrived at that moment. Since someone had reported the incident, they had to take the person back for investigation.

It was Yun Xiaoshan's first time going to the police station with the police. He was so scared that he cried out all the way and no one could comfort him. He kept shouting for "Dad".

Even after being taken to the police station, Yun Xiaoshan's mother, who was extremely arrogant, continued to cause trouble, demanding to see the station chief.

After explaining the situation to the police, Teacher Ai cried and said to the principal, "I'm asking you to inform Li Zhiyuan's parents. I won't be going to work starting tomorrow. I want to go to the hospital to be with Li Zhiyuan. The only child I feel sorry for is Li Zhiyuan. If I had been bolder before, he wouldn't have suffered so much, and he wouldn't have been injured today."

When she cried, Yun Xiaoshan started crying too. When Yun Xiaoshan cried, his mother yelled at him loudly.

Teacher Ai felt finally relieved. The torment of her conscience and her cowardly personality had finally been resolved. Even if Li Zhiyuan and his parents didn't forgive her, it didn't matter. It was the result of her cowardice and weakness, and it was what she deserved.

Meanwhile, at the police station, Yun Xiaoshan's father was notified.

His wife and kids are at the police station?

When Yun Xiaoshan's father, Yun Yan, received the notification, he was truly baffled.

He rushed to the police station, only to find that his own wife had beaten up someone else's child.

He knew how domineering his wife was, but beating someone else's child was just too absurd.

Moreover, the police station chief, Lao Liu, was an acquaintance.

As soon as he entered, his wife stood up and shouted at him, "Yun Yan, hurry up and call Director Liu! I've been talking to him for ages, and these people still haven't gone to invite Director Liu! It's outrageous!"
