"The teacher said you got into a fight..."
The old woman stared at the child.
"Is that true?"
Of course.
The injuries on the child's face made the answer obvious.
"Why?"
"Didn't you promise Grandpa and Grandma..."
"That you wouldn't fight with anyone anymore?"
"Why did you get into another fight?"
The old woman was angry and heartbroken.
Her whole body began to tremble slightly.
"Why won't you listen?"
"You—"
"They were the ones in the wrong!"
The child rudely interrupted the old woman.
His whole body trembled even harder than hers.
He raised his face, his eyes bloodshot.
His expression was agitated.
The old woman froze, about to speak.
Then someone else came in.
It was the parents of the remaining children.
All right.
Now all the parents of the children who'd been fighting had arrived.
The teacher clapped her hands, signaling everyone to come over.
"You've probably all heard what happened from your children, right?"
The teacher's gaze swept over each parent.
"No matter who started it, fighting is wrong."
"Everyone must write a reflection and hand it in tomorrow."
"He hit me first!"
Guo Younin pointed at Yu Lele.
The other two boys nodded.
"Yeah."
"Yu Lele hit him first."
"We were just defending ourselves."
Guo Younin sounded completely justified.
"Why should we have to write reflections too?"
"Yu Lele should be the only one who has to write one."
"And Yu Lele should apologize to us."
Guo Younin's mother proudly patted her child on the head.
Mm.
Her child was so clever.
He even knew such a difficult phrase as "self-defense."
The other two children's parents stayed silent.
Writing a reflection wasn't a big deal, really.
But since someone else had spoken up, they weren't foolish enough
