Chapter 98 Parents Meeting

Chapter 98. Parent meeting

"Not questioning, but clarifying things."

"Am I going to lie to you?"

Teacher Li's expression became even more unfriendly. If there were no other people in the office, his words would have been even more violent.

Ren Ping ignored her and said calmly:
"I believe the teacher will not lie to me, but I can trust Xiaofei, and neither will she."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and patted Xiao Fei on the shoulder:

"Xiaofei, tell yourself, did you secretly change other people's calligraphy to win the award?"

Xiaofei didn't answer in silence.

According to her original idea, coming to the parent-teacher meeting today was just a formality. She didn't care much about the theft, and she never thought about seeking justice from anyone.

If it wasn't for the school's repeated requirement that parents must come, she wouldn't even ask Ren Ping for help.

But now, things have come to this point, what should she do?
After hesitating for a long time, Xiaofei gritted her teeth and was about to admit to something she had never done before, but when she looked up and saw the extremely firm look in Ren Ping's eyes, she couldn't help being startled:
"I do not have."

"what?"

"I do not have."

Xiao Fei answered again solemnly, which only made Teacher Li trembling with anger.

She had asked Xiaofei more than once before if he had committed any theft, and the answer she received every time was silence. She thought that the child knew the shame and acquiesced, but now, she denied it again.

what is this?
Seeing that this matter is about to be resolved, so as to give an explanation to the school, isn't it back to the original point now?
"Wen Fei, let me ask you again, did you steal that award-winning calligraphy from someone else!"

With a stern shout, Mr. Li was so angry that he no longer cared about the presence of others, and the expression on his face unconsciously showed a threat.

"I didn't steal it, I wrote it myself."

Xiaofei was also aroused to be obstinate, and looked at the other party without hesitation.

Teacher Li wanted to say something more, but was suddenly interrupted by Ren Ping beside him:

"Mr. Li, you have something to say, what do you mean by scaring the child so harshly?"

"What harsh words? How can I!"

"Don't you? Shall I find a mirror for the teacher to see?"

Ren Ping smiled half-sarcastically.

Only then did Teacher Li notice that he had lost his composure and wanted to calm down, but seeing the other teachers discussing in groups, he became even more irritable, so he forced himself to lower his voice:

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, we have plenty of solutions,"

Then he turned to Ren Ping:

"The parent meeting will be held soon. If you don't believe me, let her confront that child face to face. How about it?"

"no problem."

"you--"

Teacher Li didn't expect Ren Ping to agree so readily. Before he could say anything else, Ren Ping had already preempted him:
"However, if the evidence that Mr. Li said is the child and the writing, then there is no need. The child is the victim himself and cannot be regarded as a witness. Similarly, the writing cannot be used as physical evidence."

"Also, a confrontation is a confrontation. I will put the ugly words first. Before the matter is clarified, don't say 'stealing' one by one. These two words are too ugly and will affect the child's psychology. Teacher Li will not know Bar?"

"You don't need to tell me, come with me!"

With a cold snort, Teacher Li stopped arguing verbally and turned around to leave.

Ren Ping and Xiao Fei followed behind, along the road, Ren Ping couldn't help but wondered, and asked in a low voice:
"Why did you participate in that kind of competition, and why did you get promoted?"

"No, there are bonuses for this competition."

"Bonus? How much can there be?"

"The special prize is five thousand, the first prize is three thousand, the second prize is two thousand, and the third prize is one thousand."

Ren Ping was taken aback, thinking that the bonus was quite a lot, especially for a primary school student, and he understood a little:

"You earn these bonuses to see your mother?"

"Yes, at that time I hadn't met you, big brother, and no one was paying the medical expenses in advance, so I thought of this way."

Xiao Fei looked a little helpless.

When Ren Ping saw it, his heart ached even more. Since he knew this little girl, he had been touched many times, but each time it was still hard to restrain himself.

"Does anyone in the school know your calligraphy background?"

"No, mother said to keep it secret, so I never said it."

"Then you are still participating... My little aunt, once you make a move, no one who has learned calligraphy can tell whether it is good or bad, let alone the judges? Isn't this a dimensionality reduction attack..."

"How do I know? I've written badly on purpose. I want to win the third prize. 1000 yuan is fine. At least it can pay for my mother's hospitalization for a few days. Who would have thought of winning the special prize directly? It's all their fault." Stupid! Especially the guy who framed me, who writes rubbish, and has the nerve to call himself a child prodigy."

"Then why didn't you tell the truth later?"

"I--"

Before Xiao Fei could continue, he had already reached the door of the classroom. It was already class time, and the parents and students who came to attend the parent-teacher meeting were already seated.

Teacher Li walked in first, and when Ren Ping and the other two entered, he couldn't help being taken aback.

I saw that the classroom was really full, with dozens of adults and children, and they probably all knew about the calligraphy competition. When they saw the two people coming in, they all looked sideways with unkind expressions on their faces.

If it’s just that, Xiaofei is not tall, and he was originally sitting in the first row of the class, but at this time, the first row, which should be a popular seat, is empty. The rows were all empty, and he made it clear that he would rather sit alone in the aisle than be with Xiao Fei.

After all, Xiaofei was only nine years old. The moment he entered the door, seeing this scene, his eyes were sore, and two lines of tears couldn't help but fall down.

Ren Ping was furious, thinking that the other students and parents should not be blamed for this kind of thing, after all, no one would want their child to sit with a student who was labeled as a "stealer".

But that teacher Li is different. As a head teacher, he doesn't distinguish between right and wrong and accuses students indiscriminately.

Even if some students do steal things, they should focus on teaching and admonishing them instead of letting the rest of the students isolate and reject them.

You know, how many people's psychological shadows are left in this environment.

This kind of person can actually be a role model for others?
Seeing that Teacher Li on the stage remained silent and ignored the situation in front of him, Ren Ping suppressed the anger in his heart, calmly helped Xiao Fei wipe away her tears, and then took her hand and walked in.

The two of them didn't choose their seats, they just sat side by side in the middle of the first row, which was also the most conspicuous position, and dozens of gazes behind them still glanced wantonly.

Soon, the parents' meeting will officially begin. There are still a series of routine procedures in front of it, such as the progress of a certain classmate is worthy of praise, and the progress of a certain classmate needs to work hard, etc.

Everyone half listened and half didn't listen, knowing that today's focus is on the last part.

Sure enough, after talking a lot of nonsense, Teacher Li turned his eyes to a little boy sitting in the middle on the left, and his tone sank:
"Student Chen Sijia, about your calligraphy works being stolen..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly noticed a cold gaze on his face. He felt a chill and couldn't help but swallowed, and then he remembered Ren Ping's warning just now.

"About the previous calligraphy competition, there is still no conclusion. In order to thoroughly investigate and clarify, we took advantage of this opportunity of the parent meeting, and specially invited Wenfei's parents. I hope everyone can sit down and have a good talk."

As he spoke, he pointed to Ren Ping who was sitting in the front row.

That Chen Sijia was a little boy who looked simple and chubby, he was very big, and looked more than two circles bigger than Xiao Fei.

Before he said anything, a middle-aged woman in her 30s stood up abruptly:

"What are you talking about! Isn't it just that little girl who stole my son's calligraphy? My son has been practicing calligraphy since he was six years old. He has been waiting hard for the past few years just for the opportunity of this competition to win the award and prepare for the future. Extra points at the beginning of a minor promotion,”

"It's fine now. The award has been cancelled, and everything is in vain! What more can be said for a little thief like this who steals other people's things at a young age? Send her directly to the police station. Since no one at home teaches her, let the police teach her. !”

"That's right! She's a thief! She stole my writing, so the police should catch her!"

The fat boy named Chen Sijia also shouted.
