Chapter 29: Face-Slapping Moment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mu Xue had asked Zhang Fei to take care of Shao Xi?

Mu Jingzhe hadn’t expected such a thing. “You asked him to take care of Shao Xi? When? Why?”

Mu Xue’s face darkened. Why else? Because she’d almost become Shao Xi and his siblings’ mother.

Even though it hadn’t happened ultimately, she still pitied the children, so she had asked Zhang Fei for help.

“It was a few days ago. You misunderstood.”

Mu Jingzhe shook her head. “No, it’s definitely not a misunderstanding.”

“Mu Jingzhe, can you not be so stubborn? Can you take some responsibility? If you keep making a fuss without apologizing and Teacher Zhang really doesn’t want to teach Shao Xi anymore, what will happen to him? Will he stop studying?”

Mu Jingzhe wanted to say that there were other teachers and schools, but a second later, she was stuck.

This was the only school in the village.

There was only one second-grade class.

Mu Xue looked at Mu Jingzhe and took a deep breath. “If you are doing this for Shao Xi’s good, apologize to Teacher Zhang now and promise him not to meddle in the way he teaches in the future. I believe Teacher Zhang isn’t the kind of person who holds grudges.”

“I can apologize, but I can’t trust him. He’s a vengeful person…” Mu Jingzhe was speechless.

“Mu Jingzhe, what’s wrong with you? Do you really not want Shao Xi to study anymore?” Mu Xue couldn’t take it anymore and interrupted Mu Jingzhe. Her eyes were filled with anger.

“If that is how it has to be, so be it.”

“Mu Jingzhe, you…” Mu Xue was about to continue when she suddenly realized that the answer hadn’t come from Mu Jingzhe.

She turned around and saw Shao Xi standing at the door.

Shao Xi glanced at Mu Jingzhe and then at Mu Xue. “She’s not wrong. Even if she doesn’t speak up about it or make a fuss, I can’t tolerate it anymore. Whether you believe it or not, Teacher Zhang has been picking on me.”

“Little Xi, you…” Mu Xue hadn’t expected Shao Xi to say that. A hint of hurt flashed past her eyes, and she felt like her good intentions had been let down.

Shao Xi could see it clearly, but he pursed his lips, stubbornly refusing to comfort her.

He was even a little disappointed.

He used to like Teacher Mu Xue very much because she was beautiful and gentle. She was also good to them.

His father had once asked them if they’d like Mu Xue to be their new mother. At the time, both he and his brother had said yes.

Later on, Mu Jingzhe had become their mother instead of Mu Xue, and he had been extremely unhappy about it.

But now, he didn’t like seeing Mu Xue say this about Mu Jingzhe.

Mu Xue had seen him being asked to stay behind after class before, but she’d never said anything about it.

On the other hand, Mu Jingzhe had only come once and had made the matter blow up.

Shao Xi looked at Mu Jingzhe. “You don’t have to apologize. If he doesn’t want me as a student, so be it. I don’t care either.”

He still had to study, though.

Now that the matter had blown up, all the students and the parents had found out about it, and Zhang Fei was no longer willing to accept an apology.

Even if they apologized, he wouldn’t want Shao Xi as a student.

Mu Xue went to plead with Zhang Fei. When Zhang Fei saw Mu Xue, the anger on his face dissipated and his attitude became better, but he stood by his decision.

He couldn’t accept being wronged.

The principal had told him to wait for him to think of a solution.

The people in the village discussed among themselves, and most of them thought that Mu Jingzhe had made a fuss and insulted the teacher.

Some people even said that she had done it on purpose because she did not want Shao Xi to study.

Mu Jingzhe was speechless, but she couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei exposed himself soon.

Coincidentally, a family was holding a baby’s one-month birthday party the next day. Zhang Fei went to visit them and met Mu Xue and Tang Moling, who were also there as guests.

Worked up by the incident, Zhang Fei drank quite a bit and got drunk.

After getting drunk, Zhang Fei declared in front of half the villagers that he liked Mu Xue.

Mu Xue used to be a village belle. At least one-third of the young men in the village fancied her. However, Zhang Fei felt that he was the most compatible with Mu Xue because he was a teacher and he was the closest to her.

Alas, Mu Xue had first liked Shao Qihai. Then, after Shao Qihai had passed away, he had thought that his chance had come, but Tang Moling had appeared out of nowhere.

Tang Moling had crushed him in all aspects.

Do you see why he was furious?

Ever since Tang Moling had shown up in his car a month ago, he had been feeling frustrated and anxious.

He had been picking on Shao Xi because he was in a bad mood.

As for why he had chosen Shao Xi, it was naturally because he hated his family. After all, they were Shao Qihai’s children.

Mu Xue had asked him to take care of Shao Dong and Shao Xi, making him even more jealous. That was why he’d deliberately tormented them.

Shao Dong and Shao Xi had lost their parents, and parents generally believed that a teacher treated students strictly for their own good, which made him even more brazen. He’d even racked his brains to think of new ways to punish them.

Previously, he had been punishing Shao Xi by making him stand. Later on, he’d felt that this punishment wasn’t enough, so he had come up with a new method and put two pieces of chalk under the kid’s heel. This way, Shao Xi could only stand on his tiptoes. If the kid couldn’t take it and broke the chalk, he would add more time to his punishment.

“I was waiting to watch you cry and beg for mercy. But even though you were sweating and your feet were shaking, you refused to beg for mercy. You even said you wanted to learn from your dad what ‘sheds blood and sweat but never tears’. My foot.”

It was Zhang Fei’s first time getting drunk, so he had no idea what he was like when he got drunk. Due to the stimulation of alcohol, after seeing Shao Xi, he revealed his ugliest side, baring his most sincere thoughts.

“Listen to me, the more you don’t cry, the angrier I get. I just want you to cry. If I don’t manage to make you cry, my surname won’t be Zhang. Just you wait.”

When he turned to Mu Xue, his expression became flattering.

“Xiao Xue, are you satisfied with me for standing up for you? You and I are the most compatible couple. I’ve waited for you for many years. You can’t let me down.”

Mu Xue was extremely embarrassed.

She hadn’t expected Zhang Fei to say such things in public. Previously, she had confidently told Mu Jingzhe that Zhang Fei wasn’t that kind of person, but now, she had been slapped in the face.

He was that kind of person, and the main reason he’d picked on Shao Xi was because of her.

She felt extremely embarrassed, and her eyes were red.

Tang Moling pulled Mu Xue behind him, then scolded Zhang Fei for lusting after someone out of his league before dragging her away.

Zhang Fei was so furious that he wanted to chase after her but was stopped by someone.

Zhang Fei turned to look at Mu Jingzhe and vented his rage on her. “Mu Jingzhe, just you wait. I will make you kneel in front of me! Who do you think you are to dare criticize me!”

Ha! He even wanted to make her kneel.

She would make him kneel first!

As Mu Jingzhe left, she kicked a rock and successfully tripped Zhang Fei, causing him to fall to his knees.

Because his face landed smack on the ground, he even bled from his nose.

His parents were scared out of their wits and quickly dragged Zhang Fei away.

Everyone looked at each other. They hadn’t expected Zhang Fei to be such a person.

Zhang Fei’s reputation had been tarnished. Only then did everyone realize that they had wrongly accused Mu Jingzhe and Shao Xi.

When Mu Jingzhe took Shao Xi and the rest back home, she felt proud and elated. “When we go to school tomorrow, no one will chase you away. If anyone leaves, it will be Zhang Fei.”

The corners of Shao Xi’s lips curled up quickly as he said, “Thank you.”

Sensing the excitement in his heart, Shao Xi quickly restrained it.

He wouldn’t grow fond of her so easily or regard her as his mother.

He knew she could leave at any moment.

Shao Xi added, “Although I’m thanking you, I’m not as easily bought as Little Bei. Don’t think that we’ll be very close because of this.”

Mu Jingzhe: “Yes, yes, I understand.”
