I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Whoever is Poor is Right

Hearing this, Suizi, furious, steps towards them and rolls up her sleeves, ready to go head-to-head.

Yu Jingting hurries to stop her.

"The baby! The baby!!!"

If anyone needs to throw punches, it should be him. Not Suizi.

Suizi takes a deep breath to steady her emotions.

"Yue’e, could you please bring me my teacup? Thank you."

She needs to drink some milk to calm down.

As Suizi tries to soothe her feelings, the woman goes on crying and accusing.

Yu Jingting understands now.

This woman’s son and Jiaojiao are classmates.

Suizi raised Jiaojiao well; she has a wonderful disposition and you would never believe she came from a village.

Such a child is bound to be popular among her classmates, all the kids want to be her friend.

The woman’s son, secretly, likes Jiaojiao.

He wrote notes to Jiaojiao, which escalated to "love letters". He even stole money from home to buy a hair tie and left it on Jiaojiao’s desk.

A love letter, which he hadn’t had the chance to deliver, was found by the woman and used as "evidence" against Jiaojiao.

She adamantly insists Jiaojiao seduced her son, otherwise why would Jiaojiao accept the hair tie and the notes?

The woman believes that Jiaojiao is a "siren". Jiaojiao’s beauty led "the village’s hope," her son, to neglect his studies and fall.

Suizi thinks that it’s not too early for 10-year-olds to start puberty and have a vague interest in the opposite sex, given their decent nutrition.

But currently, due to general poor nutrition, children usually start their puberty at about 12 or 13.

That is to say, the children still don’t understand anything about romantic feelings. To label it as puppy love is quite far-fetched.

Therefore, instead of vilifying them, parents should guide their children properly and take this opportunity to establish their correct and healthy view on relationships.

If handled correctly, this could be an excellent learning opportunity for both children. But instead, the mother is treating it like a disaster and venting her anger at Suizi.

Suizi tried to explain, but the woman refused to communicate.

The woman started off by accusing Suizi. She couldn’t understand why Suizi allowed Jiaojiao to wear new clothes, which left Suizi thoroughly confused.

"We dress our children as we wish. Aren’t you overstepping a bit here?" Yu Jingting interrupted the woman.

"Everyone else is picking up leftover clothes for their kids, only your family dares to be different——"

"There are forty kids in Jiaojiao’s class. We aren’t the only ones who dress our child in new clothes, right?"

Suizi recalls that out of the fifty kids in Jiaojiao’s class, more than half of them are decently dressed.

After all, it’s a school for children of office workers, so the financial conditions of the parents are generally better.

The woman raises her voice, crying into her palm.

"You’re bullying me! What, is your money making you superior? You look down on peasants just because you’re rich!"

"???"

"So it’s all because you’re workers with food to spare, right?"

Yu Jingting squints. There won’t be any communication with her.

He realizes that this is an unreasonable woman. A punch from him would be enough to deal with such a person. There’s no point in arguing.

"Just tell us directly what you want," Suizi asks.

The woman lowers her hand, sobbing in response.

"It was hard enough for my husband to get us into the city and even harder to get our son into such a good school. We cannot afford to transfer to another school."

"So?"

"You transfer your little sister. Your family can afford it. You can go to another school." The woman replied confidently.

Yu Jingting and Suizi exchange a glance.

Suizi closes her eyes. She can no longer communicate with this woman.

"You take care of it, I don’t want to bother with this."

Suizi helps herself up to leave. Zhang Yue’e, who was standing at the door, looks baffled.

As the door closes behind Suizi, a scream from the woman can be heard from inside.

"Suizi, your brother-in-law wouldn’t hit her, would he?" Zhang Yue’e asks.

She also wants to scold that woman.

Why did she assume that being poor gave her all the authority?

"In no way would he beat her. He might just scare her a little."

No sooner had Suizi finished her sentence than the woman, as if wound up, burst out from the room.

"Lay your eyes on me again and I will hit you, and keep your little brat in check! If he dares pester my sister, I’ll break his legs!"

The roar of Yu Jingting came from the room, resonating like a tiger’s roar. The scared woman didn’t dare to look back and hurriedly scurried out of the school.

Yu Jingting steps out, looking refreshed and relieved.

Since he took office, the only people around him were the obsequious types, and there’s no one he could vent his anger on. This is a refreshing change.

Considering the scolding he received, it’s no wonder he felt ecstatic!

If the woman hadn’t run, Yu Jingting would have happily carried on ranting at her for half an hour.

"Always falling into bad habits because they’re poor." Yu Jingting pats Suizi on the stomach, "Did that scare you?"

Suizi shakes her head. She wasn’t scared, but feeling sick.

"How do people like that think?" Zhang Yue’e asks.

She witnessed the entire incident of how that woman played out. Her words were absurd, yet she acted as if the entire world owed her.

"It’s like blaming the earth for not attracting their shit, that’s their type." Yu Jingting has seen plenty of folks like this.

Suizi rubs her temples.

"I’ll go to the school this afternoon and talk to the homeroom teacher to find out what’s happening."

Suizi doesn’t want this unreasonable woman to disrupt her excellent little sister’s happiness.

Although that woman blames everything on Jiaojiao, Suizi still trusts her own flesh and blood.

She won’t judge based only on the woman’s words. Suizi needs to know the whole story before deciding on the next step.

Being distracted by this trivial incident, Suizi has completely forgotten about the huge Yellow Croaker she had found and hasn’t even had time to call her mother.

Her mind is filled with thoughts of seizing this opportunity to educate the children and enhance their gender education awareness before puberty, all while making sure no psychological scars are left on her sister.

Raising morally righteous children for the nation is what matters most to Suizi.

To a cultured person like Suizi, who is full of aspirations and faith, money is far less important than cultivating talents.

Suizi finds the homeroom teacher, and after she explains everything, the homeroom teacher is left bewildered.

"Hair tie? This one?" The homeroom teacher pulls out a low-quality hair tie from his pocket.

"Indeed Jiaojiao handed in a hair tie today, saying she didn’t know who left it at her seat."

The spirit of honesty is encouraged in school, and the teacher plans to praise Jiaojiao in front of the whole class.

"And the note?"

"This one?" The teacher takes out another note, spreading it open to reveal barely legible handwriting.

Suizi frowns. This kid needs handwriting classes, what is this mess?

"Jiaojiao handed in this note a few days ago. She guessed someone was trying to pick a fight with her. Thinking about what you taught her about peace being the best policy, she came to ask me if she could fight back."

"Don’t leave after school," the paper reads in a messy handwriting.

The teacher doesn’t know Jiaojiao’s dominance in the village and her capabilities in a fight, so he assumed Jiaojiao, with her bright and beautiful physique, is a good kid.

In order to allay the good kid’s fears, the teacher accompanied Jiaojiao to and from school in the following days.

Suizi is speechless. So, her poor Jiaojiao...

Unbeknownst to her, someone fell for her, and she was even accused of being a siren?
