Chapter 169 : Angry Fatty

“I think your school is just a scam. I’ve already paid so much for tuition and books, and now you’re asking me to pay for school uniforms!”

Su Huaiyi was really overwhelmed when facing such parents.

When Liu Niandi came to her for help, she felt sorry for the girl, so she went home with Liu Niandi.

However, Liu Niandi’s parents refused to buy the uniform and even wanted to beat the child in front of her, but she stopped them.

Later, she had to ask Principal Bi to intervene. Principal Bi, with his wide network of contacts, brought the police with him. Only then did Liu Niandi’s parents behave. A typical bully who only likes to flatter.

At noon today, they were notified that the school uniform fee would be 13 yuan. This was the result of bargaining between their principal and the other party.

This set of sportswear costs sixteen yuan in other schools.

“Dad of Liu Niandi, I’ve already made it very clear in the corridor just now. It’s okay if you don’t want to buy it. The school uniform is not mandatory. Or if you can make one yourself at home, it’s fine as long as it’s the same.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaoluo said to Shen Zheng, “It seems that this is the father of the deskmate Haiping mentioned.”

Shen Zheng nodded.

Liu Guangzong continued to make a scene, “Make it myself? How can we do that? Besides, why do others have it but my girl doesn’t? You are discriminating! You teachers should pay for it!”

Su Huaiyi was already very angry, “Dad of Liu Niandi, if you continue to cause trouble and disrupt the order of the school, I will have no choice but to call the police.”

When Liu Guangzong heard the mention of the police, he was a little scared.

Principal Bi Xiujie strode out.

As soon as he stood there, Liu Guangzong immediately started to smile apologetically, unlike his earlier attitude towards Su Huaiyi.

He obviously thought that Su Huaiyi, as a female teacher, wouldn’t do anything to him. Now that Bi Xiujie was there, in his eyes, he was the principal, a high-ranking official, and superior to him. He immediately changed his attitude.

“Have you forgotten what I said last time?”

Liu Guangzong immediately responded, “No, how could I forget? I just came… to communicate with the teacher and check on my girl to see how she’s doing in school, whether she is disobedient.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll… go back first.” After saying that, Liu Guangzong quickly left.

Su Huaiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She said to Bi Xiujie, “This Liu Guangzong came here today just to ask me to pay for Liu Niandi’s school uniform.”

Bi Xiujie nodded. “I’ll take the police to their house again. They shouldn’t cause trouble anymore. If they continue to cause trouble, just come to me directly. You should go back first. School is almost over.”

The people standing at the door were chatting, and those who had been watching the commotion began to disperse.

Very few parents were there to pick up their children at the school gate.

As soon as Bi Xiujie came out, he saw Fang Xiaoluo.

It felt like, no matter how many people were around, the one person you could spot in the crowd was Fang Xiaoluo.

It was as if she had a glow around her, like she was covered in gold.

Bi Xiujie walked over and extended his right hand. “Comrade Fang.”

Fang Xiaoluo shook his hand and said, “Principal Bi.”

Bi Xiujie looked at Shen Zheng and couldn’t help asking, “Who is this…?”

“My husband,” Fang Xiaoluo introduced.

Bi Xiujie then went to shake hands with Shen Zheng, “Hello.”

Shen Zheng shook his hand, “Hello.”

Bi Xiujie asked Fang Xiaoluo, “Are you two here to pick up the children?”

Fang Xiaoluo nodded, “Just happened to be passing by.”

Bi Xiujie smiled and said, “Just now… I really embarrassed Comrade Fang. The teaching aids and tables and chairs you sent are all very good. I haven’t found a chance to thank you properly yet.”

Fang Xiaoluo waved her hand. “No need to thank me. I promised this. Honesty is the most important thing. For the sake of the children, I have to keep my word.”

The bell rang, signaling the end of school.

Bi Xiujie said, “Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I’ll definitely thank Comrade Fang when I have the chance some other day.”

Shen Zheng looked at Bi Xiujie’s back and asked, “How old is Principal Bi? Is he married?”

Fang Xiaoluo said, “I don’t know, but he looks quite young. I haven’t asked whether he’s married or not. Why do you care so much?”

Could Shen Zheng admit that he had noticed the way Bi Xiujie’s eyes were filled with admiration when he looked at Fang Xiaoluo?

The praise was deserved, Fang Xiaoluo was indeed excellent.

But it was definitely wrong to have unreasonable expectations.

“Nothing, just asking,” he replied.

Fang Xiaoluo was carefree and didn’t think much about anything. She just looked around the campus, enjoying the view.

After school, Shen Haiping and his friends, together with Yu Feixu, walked from the campus to the gate.

Yu Feixu was very kind and said, “I heard there was a parent causing trouble in your class today. The corridor was noisy just now.”

Shen Haiping nodded, “Yes, Liu Niandi’s father.”

Yu Feixu was surprised. “Ah? What’s all the fuss? Didn’t you say their family had already paid the tuition?”

Shen Haiping explained, “It’s about the school uniform. Teacher Su originally said that buying it is voluntary. If someone in your family can make it, you can make it yourself, as long as it’s the same. Liu Niandi’s father just wants to cause trouble and is trying to force Teacher Su to pay for it.”

Shen Haifeng added, “This is too much. No wonder my mom said before that families like this are easy to blackmail.”

Yu Feixu sighed, “Aunt is really amazing. She can even think of that.”

This incident left a deep impression on Shen Haiping.

He imagined the situation in which Liu Guangzong made trouble today. If that day he had asked Fang Xiaoluo for help with tuition, she would have felt sorry for him and paid Liu Niandi’s tuition.

So, the target of Liu Guangzong’s trouble today was him. Liu Guangzong would have tried to force him to continue paying for Liu Niandi’s school uniform.

If he refused, Liu Guangzong would have caused trouble for Fang Xiaoluo. It would have been a never-ending situation.

All of this was exactly as Fang Xiaoluo had predicted.

He suddenly remembered that Fang Xiaoluo had once said that people’s hearts can be the most unpredictable. He seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence now.

Fang Xiaoluo’s advice had also been very good. Teacher Su intervened, bringing out Principal Bi, and now Liu Niandi would definitely be able to go to school. However, other things couldn’t be controlled just because one wanted to.

Shen Haiping said, “So, you have to listen to your mother.”

The three children ran out of the gate, and Fang Xiaoluo waved and called out, “Haifeng, Haiping!”

They were about to run towards home, but when they heard her calling, they all turned around.

Yu Feixu and the others ran over too.

“Mom, are you here to pick us up?” Shen Haiping was very happy to see Fang Xiaoluo.

“Yes,” she replied, “Let’s go, we can pick up Xiaxia together.”

Along the way, the children ran and jumped, and from time to time, other classmates would join them to have fun.

After entering the compound, everyone headed to the kindergarten together.

By the time Fang Xiaoluo and the others arrived at the kindergarten, the class had already ended.

The children were lining up at the door, walking out in groups.

The kids came out of the kindergarten, running and jumping in small groups like chicks just released from a cage, nearly eager to fly.

Fang Xiaoluo spotted Shen Jinxia coming out and walking in their direction with Yu Xiaopang and several other kids.

Before they had even taken two steps, a little boy approached Yu Xiaopang, saying something while laughing.

Before anyone could react, Yu Xiaopang, seeing the boy, got angry and turned around, pushing him to the ground.

Yu Feixu slapped his forehead and rushed forward, exclaiming, “Oh no! Why are you starting a fight?”
