Chapter 187: Parents (Part One)
Zhang Haitao stood at the doorway of sophomore class 3, “Where’s Lu Shu from your class?”
Everyone looked curiously at the teacher, “The daoyuan students are still on a break…”
Zhang Haitao was agitated, didn’t he say that I could find him just by coming up…
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had Lu Shu’s number and scrolled through his address book and called, “Hey? Lu Shu! Quickly come to school to bring your sister back. She’s hit someone on her first day of school!”
Lu Shu started laughing bitterly. Wow! All my worries came true!
But he was also curious. Lu Xiaoyu had always listened to him and if he said to not be violent, she definitely wouldn’t lay her hands on others… Oh no, little fury! No wonder Lu Xiaoyu brought little fury!
These days in school, Lu Shu would study physics and chemistry or look at updates on the golden foundation website in the morning, thus having little interactions with his classmates.
In fact, he felt that this whole training incident had suddenly opened up a huge gap between the daoyuan students and the normal students. It wasn’t a matter of conflict but a matter of totally different interests.
Cliques and circles were often composed of people with similar objectives or interests. Only with such similarities could two parties have a more lively time together.
During daoyuan class at night, although Lu Shu had a contradicting intent, he would still occasionally interact normally with his classmates and have serious conversations.
With a group of practitioners around, he wasn’t concerned about little fury’s power.
But… Lu Xiaoyu’s classmates were normal people…
He quickly packed and ignoring his lottery, he headed to school. When he had reached, there were 5-6 students standing inside the student affairs office, accompanied by their parents.
Lu Shu saw the 5-6 parents surrounding Lu Xiaoyu, lecturing her while she was sitting speechless in her chair, staring blankly at them. He quickly walked over, stood in front of Lu Xiaoyu and smiled, “You guys must be the parents of the victims? Let me understand the situation first and you can lecture me instead. You guys lecturing a child wouldn’t look good on you, right?”
Lu Xiaoyu was originally motionless but after seeing Lu Shu, her eyes regained its spirit.
“What happened?” Lu Shu turned to Lu Xiaoyu. He felt that listening to what Lu Xiaoyu had to say was the most important instead of listening to the insults others had for her. And although Lu Xiaoyu’s temper wasn’t excellent, she would never lie to him.
“I didn’t want to go to school, so I was in a bad mood. My deskie greeted me but I ignored her so 5 other classmates and her were gossipping that I’m too prideful to talk to them. Then one of the girls wanted to grab little fury so I let little fury give them a beating. But I didn’t let it hit anyone else,” Lu Xiaoyu explained the entire incident.
At the side, Zhang Haitao suddenly thought to himself… What accent is that? Sounds like it’s from my hometown…
Lu Shu heard the details. Lu Xiaoyu had always been honest with her violence and this, he understood. He then turned and apologized to the parents and offered to pay the medical bills, even saying that they could find someone to beat him up and he wouldn’t retaliate.
Lu Shu said earnestly, “Let’s resolve the matter within parents and not make life too difficult for the children. You parents gauge how much the medical bills would be and I’ll transfer the amount to you.”
One of the parents raged, “Beating my child to this state, it would be at least ten thousand!”
“What about the rest?” Lu Shu turned to the others.
The others thought for a moment. Ten thousand was actually leaning on the high end and normally, only an injury as serious as a fracture would require this amount. Everyone knew what was going but the deskie’s parent wasn’t happy, “My child lost her tooth, that’d be at least twenty thousand!”
“Okay, twenty thousand,” Lu Shu nodded, “Let me transfer you guys now.”
He took a piece of paper and pen from the student affairs office and wrote ‘Agreement of compensation of medical bills’…
After writing, he turned to the parents, “Let me transfer the money now. After each transaction, I’d like each parent to confirm that you have received the money. We can talk about the rest after settling the monetary issue.”
The parents looked at one another. Didn’t Zhang Haitao say that these siblings were orphans? Why the casual payment?
In fact, during fights between students, as long as there wasn’t blood or injured nerves and bones, a payment wouldn’t be necessary but a reconciliation at most. The school would also be willing to be a peacemaker but Lu Shu was so straightforward in paying the money.
After the transaction, the parents didn’t really want to sign but did so in the end.
About the apology, Lu Shu said that he would do his best to pacify everyone and he turned over to Lu Xiaoyu, “Come here and give everyone a sincere apology.”
Lu Xiaoyu wasn’t unwilling and stood up from her chair, taking a serious bow to the students, “I’m sorry.”
“Anymore requests from you guys?” Lu Shu asked earnestly.
“Is a bow all it takes?” A parent wasn’t satisfied, “If an apology was effective, what’s the point of the police?”
“The police wouldn’t bother themselves with small fights between the youngsters, I’m sure you’re aware of that. And the school wouldn’t wish for the police to be involved here… Is there any other way?” Lu Shu was still very earnest.
“This student has to be expelled. How can I rest assured with such a student in class? Also, how is one apology enough, it has to be a hundred!” A parent exclaimed.
After hearing the other party mention Lu Xiaoyu’s expulsion, Lu Shu thought for a moment and said, “Expelling her would affect her entire life.”
“So what? Without good upbringing, what good can she be when she’s older?”
Hearing that, Lu Shu’s switch was flipped and he reasoned, “To be honest, the cause was due to someone greeting Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Xiaoyu didn’t reply. You can say that she’s rude but I think otherwise. If someone else greets me, I can choose not to respond and you don’t have to continue talking to me. I never wanted for you to be my friend or to like me. If someone doesn’t respond to your curiosity, you’d gossip about her behind her back. Who taught you that? If you saw the prime minister and waved to him but was ignored, would you dare to badmouth him? Basically, your daughter was emboldened because of her circle and only dared to choose the easier path.”
“Lu Xiaoyu was wrong to let little fury hit them. But honestly, I don’t think retaliating with words would be wrong.”
