Being ignored by Lu Jueyu, the other villagers were angry. They looked at the teachers and said, "Teacher Lin, Teacher Wang, look at your good students. Not only did they refuse to apologize and compensate my son, but his mother was also rude toward us. She doesn’t take us seriously at all!"
Hearing her words, Teacher Lin frowned and said, "Mother Chen, the person who bullied student Dong and student Feng is your son. He is the initiator of this fight. How can you distort the facts and accuse others?"
After hearing what she said, Gou Dan’s mother opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Did I distort the facts? Look at my son and look at them! Who is being beaten here?!"
After hearing what she said, other parents looked at their son’s condition and complained one after another, asking Dong Li and others to apologize to their son.
Lu Jueyu said nothing and continued to treat Feng Lin’s wounds. After saying that, she stood up and turned to look at them.
She looked at everyone and said calmly, "The person who bullied my children is your son, but you asked my son and daughter to pay medical bills and apologize to your son."
"My son acted in self-defense and he was not at fault. As a victim, shouldn’t we receive compensation and an apology from your sons instead?" she added.
After hearing her words, Mother Chen and others were stunned. They didn’t expect that she would answer so calmly under the pressure of so many people.
After a while, one of them finally said, "Anyway, it was my son who was seriously injured, not your son! So, you must compensate us!"
"Then who will compensate for the injuries to my children and their friends?" Lu Jueyu repeated her question.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, Zhang Dongmei and Chen Anwen rushed into the teacher’s office. When Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu saw their mother coming in, they quickly stood up, lowered their heads, and said in unison, "Mother."
Lu Wenyi cried loudly the moment he saw his mother. He threw himself into his mother’s arms, and said aggrievedly, "Mother, you are finally here! They bullied Xiaoyi, my cousins, and Brother Lin. Waa!!"
At first, Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu thought their mother would scold them and make them apologize as usual. But today, their mother frowned while she examined their bodies. After checking her sons from head to toe and making sure that they were not injured, Zhang Dongmei breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at her sons and asked, "Did they hit you?"
Hearing her question, they both shook their heads. Zhang Dongmei nodded. She stood before them, looking at the other parents.
If the officers were involved, the matter would not be easily resolved with just compensation or apology. Gou Dan and the other bullies may even end up detained for a few weeks in the police station for re-education, or worse, years in prison.
Lin Muai had already had enough of Gou Dan’s mother flaunting her arrogance and being rude and unreasonable due to her brother’s position in the brigade’s office. Moreover, Dong Li’s hitting them was just out of self-defense. So, the way she looked at Gou Dan and his mother was very unfriendly.
"Xiaoyi’s mother, we will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter, and we will seek justice for student Dong and student Feng." She said solemnly.
Now that the teacher had given her a promise, Chen Anwen stopped insisting and said, "Then, we will leave this matter to the teacher. My son is frightened, so I will take him back first."
After saying that, she turned around and said, "Jueyu, let’s take the children to see a doctor first to prevent them from having any internal injuries."
Lu Jueyu nodded, bent down and hugged Dong Huang. After that, she looked at Dong Li and Feng Lin, and asked, "Xiao Li, Xiao Lin, can you walk on your own?"
Dong Li was not beaten so he could walk by himself. But when Dong Huang was beaten, Feng Lin used his body to protect her, so standing there actually already used up all his strength. He felt dizzy due to pain in his left shoulder.
