Chapter 185: Chapter 185: This Sage is a Bit Thick-skinned (Thanks to mlmpalao+ for the update)

Zhang Yue’e turned out to be the woman who had helped Suizi in the mall.

Suizi was only momentarily surprised, then she regained her cool.

"Did you guys break the glass in our classroom?" Suizi asked loudly.

"If you don’t want to die, keep your nose out of this! Tell Zhang Yue’e to get lost, or you guys will never have class again!" The man in mourning clothes shouted.

Yu Jingting squinted his eyes and took a step forward. Suizi grabbed his wrist, signaling him to stay put.

"Your attire suggests that someone in your family has passed away?" Suizi continued to ask.

"What’s it to you?!"

The guy in front was particularly ruthless; a middle-aged man.

The young man standing next to him was the one who had previously come to break the principal’s window.

"I’m the school’s academic director, your behavior has disrupted our normal classes, please leave immediately."

After saying this, Suizi turned to Wang Mengmeng who was watching the commotion: "Go call the police."

Wang Mengmeng hesitated.

"The principal says it’ll be fine if we fire Zhang Yue’e. If we escalate this situation, will they come here every day?"

"Where’s the Principal? Ask him to come out."

"...." Wang Mengmeng thought to herself about how the Principal had fled faster than a rabbit. Where was she supposed to find him now?

"If the principal is not around, then I’m in charge here. Do as I say."

Only then did Wang Mengmeng reluctantly go to the office to make a call.

The entire campus had only one landline, which was in the office.

Those people lingered at the door and refused to leave, making a ruckus and shouting slogans.

Zhang Yue’e stood next to Suizi with a pale face. She attempted to speak a few times, but Suizi stopped her each time.

Less than ten minutes later, the police arrived.

"These people have made a scene at our school and disrupted normal teaching. They have committed public disorder. The school rejects any offer of settlement."

Suizi was clear and precise.

Seeing that the situation was not favorable, those people turned around to flee. Yu Jingting, who had been holding himself back for a long time, finally saw his chance for action.

Before the police could pursue them, he jumped in first and kicked the guy who had cursed Suizi earlier.

He had long been itching to do so!

Once he found the opportunity, he beat him up first.

When they were causing trouble, they came in like a storm. But seeing the police, they scattered like birds.

Seeing that Yu Jingting had subdued their father, the man actually drew a dagger from his pocket and lunged at Jingting.

"Watch out!" The sight made Suizi’s heart jump with fear.

Jingting dodged sideways, and the two policemen rushed past him to restrain the young man.

"Assaulting people with a weapon is a wholly different matter. Are you crazy?" The police thought there was something wrong with this family’s heads.

Causing trouble at a school was audacious enough, and they even dared to pull out a weapon!

This wasn’t something that could be solved with a simple criticism anymore.

"Zhang Yue’e! Say something! He’s your brother, your own brother!" The restrained middle-aged man shouted hoarsely.

Zhang Yue’e turned her head away, biting her lip, her eyes filled with disgust.

She refused to acknowledge these horrible people as her relatives.

"You should have thought about the consequences before you acted." Suizi had no sympathy for them.

Ignorance of the law is not a valid excuse for arrogance.

Jingting’s adroit actions earned a warm round of applause from the onlooking teachers and students.

Watching this scene, Suizi automatically came up with a 200-word news article in her head, which she planned to submit to the newspaper agency tomorrow.

To promote positivity, to make her man look good, and to earn some extra money. Why not?

When the matter was settled, the principal finally arrived.

"I am the person in charge of this school. Is there anything that I need to assist with?" The principal asked righteously.

The teacher who had been chatting with him earlier sneered and remarked with a voice loud enough for everyone to hear:

"Some people said Principal Chen’s husband is afraid of his wife and is a spineless man, but I think, we’ll see who’s the spineless one. We northerners believe in treating our wives kindly at home, but a real man must be able to stand his ground in the outside world, just like Chen’s husband."

The crowd cheered.

Jingting became a hero in everyone’s heart. Justice is always on the side of the masses.

The principal, who felt embarrassed, had the intention to adopt a pose, but when Jingting gave him a look, the principal backed off.

"Chenchen ah, you and Xiaozhang can go to the police station to make a statement. Don’t worry about the school, I’ll give you a day off tomorrow."

They didn’t leave the station until almost eleven o’clock.

Zhang Yue’e grasped Suizi’s hand, too choked up to speak.

"Don’t worry, they won’t dare come to the school again. You heard what the police said, if they dare to cause a public disturbance again, they will have to face even stricter punishment."

Suizi consoled her.

"But I’m worried they will retaliate against you. It’s because of me...I got everyone involved."

"I’m not afraid of them."

"You’re brave now." Jingting looked at Suizi with amusement. His wife was finally showing some courage today.

She even dared to confront so many hooligans, she had come a long way.

"If I had to face all those people by myself, I would be scared too... but you were there, weren’t you?"

When Suizi was talking to those people just now, she wasn’t scared at all. With him there, she felt reassured.

Now that she was calm and thinking back to the scene where the hooligan had tried to stab Jingting, her heart started pounding with fear.

When they got back, she’d have to find a way to reward her great hero.

Yu Jingting, who was usually the least interested in getting involved in things, had been bustling about for a whole evening and didn’t complain once.

When Suizi gently asked him about it, Jingting looked at her with a strange look, as if she had asked a strange question.

"Isn’t it supposed to be this way?"

Suizi was relieved.

Jingting had his own logic. In his heart, Zhang Yue’e had saved his pregnant wife, so it was only right for him to step up.

Suizi looked at him adoringly.

In the news about Jingting’s bravery, she had to add a sentence of praise for him: As clear as the sage, leading people clearly.

Such breadth of mind, such magnanimity—isn’t this what a real man is supposed to be?

While she was brainstorming the news article, Jingting was not idle either.

He stroked his chin, reminiscing about Teacher Xiaochen’s captivating demeanor in today’s class.

"When does the school not have classes?"

"Monday night, the whole school has no classes." Night school’s schedule is different from regular schools; there are classes on Saturdays and Sundays.

"Oh, when there are no classes, I plan to visit the classroom to see our child, the height of your podium seems pretty good."

"What height——Are you kidding?!" Suizi finally realized what he meant, she pointed at him with indignation and shouted, "How could you, how could you disgrace yourself?!"

"Didn’t you want to give prenatal education? What’s a better place than the classroom, eh, don’t go, let’s think it over a little more!"

Suizi covered her ears, pretending not to hear!

The next day, Suizi got a day off.

She exaggerated Jingting’s heroic deed into a news article, earned a fee for the manuscript, and was counting the money at home, sitting cross-legged.

Jingting went out again to find some hauling work.

According to this pace, they could repay part of the money by the end of this month, and their good days were just around the corner.

Just as Suizi was basking in her anticipation, Wang Mengmeng came to see her.

"Principal Chen, someone from your family is here."

"Who?"

"Your sister-in-law!"

Jiaojiao came running from behind Wang Mengmeng, crying as she hugged Suizi, "Something bad has happened to our family!"
