Class 18 was entirely composed of sports students. Today, the teacher had added an extra three laps for them.
No one complained, and they all cast curious glances towards Zhong Yujin, as everyone knew he had gone into Teacher Xu's office.
"We'll rest for two minutes, then proceed with the long jump test."
"Okay!"
"Hey, hey, Old Zhong, how's it going? You're in your final year, you're not going to get a major demerit, are you?"
"No, they just asked for parents to come in."
"Sigh, if I had to have my parents called, my mom would nag me for a month. My home is really far away, I couldn't even bring myself to ask."
"There's no way around it. Old Xu was furious, you couldn't avoid it even if you wanted to. If she hadn't mentioned it, it would have passed."
"Compared to having my parents called, I'd rather get a major demerit. Making my parents drive all the way here for half a day, I'd feel too guilty."
"Indeed, having parents called in is more impactful than anything else."
"My mom has nothing to do at home, so it's not troublesome for her to come. It's just my dad who's harder to deal with. I'll definitely get a scolding when I get home."
The few classmates didn't know what else to say, feeling sorry for his mother.
"Sigh, Class 1 is so much better. Their class can rest after a few exercises, and they just need to gather for roll call before class ends."
"Don't be envious. We have the physical education exam, they don't."
"That's true. Keep pushing, whether this brother can get into university depends on this."
"Who are you calling brother? Call me dad."
"Scram."
"Alright, stop chatting. Get up quickly and start lining up."
Class 1 had already dispersed. Some people found a corner of the sports field to review their books, while a small group headed back to the classroom to rest.
"Xiao Ru, what did Old Xu say? I had already fallen asleep when you came back."
"She asked both of them to have their parents come. Old Xu told me to go back and rest first. They should still be in Old Xu's office right now."
"No, no, I saw Zhong Yujin in the line when Class 18 was running. He looked dejected."
"Those two are really annoying. If they couldn't sort things out, they shouldn't have bothered others. And that girl, instead of confronting the scumbag, why is she harassing our Xiao Ru?"
"She's probably crazy. Maybe she loved him once, so she didn't want to do anything to that guy and could only bully our Xiao Ru."
"Wenwen, is this another plot from a trashy novel? Hahaha~"
"What are you laughing at? You're not allowed to laugh. I haven't read any CEO novels for a long time, focusing on studying is what I should be doing."
As she spoke, she adjusted her glasses, looking profound.
"I bet you've been poisoned badly, you'll start reading them again in a while."
A group of people walked towards the classroom, chattering and joking. They encountered Zhao's mother and the gatekeeper on the way, and they quickly moved to the side of the flowerbed.
"Who is this person?"
"Haven't seen her before. She must be a student's parent."
The few exchanged glances, "Could it be Zhao Zeli's mom?"
"It should be."
"I'm hitting my daughter, why are you stopping me?"
"This parent, please calm down first. Hitting someone is not the solution. Don't be impulsive, why don't you go back first?"
The gatekeeper raised his hand helplessly and walked forward, forcing Zhao's mother to retreat.
"When you school asks for parents, aren't you asking me to discipline her? She's been well-behaved for three years and never caused any trouble. The first time there's trouble, it's such a disgraceful thing. I really regret having a daughter like her."
"You've misunderstood, that's not what was meant. If there's a problem with the child, we should talk it through. How can you hit her?"
Zhao Zeli, blinded by anger, rushed out from behind Teacher Zhou with a bruised face. Teacher Xu held her sleeve tightly.
"Student, don't be impulsive."
"You're just watching my misfortune. If you were so good, why did you still ask for my parents to come? This whole incident is your fault. It's clearly Song Wanru's fault."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Xu let go. Zhao Zeli was a bit stunned. But her legs moved faster than her brain, and she ran after Zhao's mother.
Teacher Zhou slapped his thigh, "Why didn't you hold onto her properly? What if something happens?"
Teacher Xu calmly scratched his thinning hair, "Call the police. We can't manage other people's family matters."
"Ah, how do we call the police?"
"Just tell the truth."
Teacher Zhou felt like a fool, to be saddled with such troublesome students and parents. He dialed 110 and explained the situation.
Seeing Zhao Zeli run over, Zhao's mother started spewing all sorts of insults. Zhao Zeli didn't hold back either, striking her mother directly in the face.
"You little brat, you dare to hit me? If you have the guts, never come home again."
"That's not my home, that's your home. I will definitely succeed in the future, you just wait and regret it for the rest of your lives."
"Bah, with your grades? Your brother even said that with your current situation, you can't get into university."
"Then just watch, see who has more success in the future, me or your precious son."
"Even if you succeed, you're still my daughter. You can't owe me any filial support. I raised you, so it can't be for nothing."
"You... you're shameless."
"I'm your mother, what can you do to me?"
...
"Beep beep beep, warning warning. Disgrace points -10, Disgrace points -20..."
"001, what exactly is going on? I've never heard of disgrace points before."
"Host, if there are face-slapping points, of course, there are also disgrace points. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Host, you're getting a good deal."
"How are these calculated?"
"They are calculated based on the severity of the disgrace and the number of witnesses. They can offset the host's face-slapping points. If the total disgrace points reach 1000, we will obtain useful things from the host to offset it."
Seeing that Zhao Zeli had fallen silent, Zhao's mother felt extremely proud. Her son was about to start high school, and the family's burden was heavy.
Zhao Zeli's grades had always been in the middle to lower tier, and she had long stopped wanting her to continue studying. But Zhao's father cared about his reputation and was afraid of being gossiped about by the neighbors.
This time, since she had done something shameful herself, Zhao's mother decided to make Zhao Zeli voluntarily drop out. She had calculated carefully before making this decision.
Even if Zhao Zeli got into university by sheer luck, it wouldn't be a very good one. The tuition fees would definitely be high. With that money, it would be better to enroll her son in more tutoring classes.
