Chapter 149: Childhood Friends 4
Chapter 149: Childhood Friends 4
On Friday, Sun Xiaoxiao asked for leave due to family matters, so after Chen packed his schoolbag and waited for a while, but Duan Xu didn't show up, he went straight to the second floor and arrived at the door of Duan Xu's classroom.
In the classroom, Duan Xu was facing off against a fat boy. The young head teacher was looking at them anxiously. There were a dozen primary school students standing around looking at each other in bewilderment.
Zhao Qingli asked as gently as possible: "Student Duan, tell the teacher whether you really stole Wang Bo's money?"
She knew Duan Xu's situation so she took good care of him. Although the child had only been in school for a short time, Zhao Qingli didn't quite believe that Duan Xu would steal anything.
However, Wang Bo pointed out Duan Xu, so as the class teacher, she had to ask him about it.
Facing this situation, Duan Xu showed a calmness that was not in line with an eight-year-old child, "I didn't."
Wang Bo pointed at Duan Xu and said, "You are the one who stole it. I found my fifty yuan from your drawer. If not you, who else could it be?"
After he said this, the elementary school students around him looked at Duan Xu with disgust.
Chen also walked in, and the head teacher Zhao Qingli immediately asked: "Little classmate, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to look for my brother Duan Xu."
Chen Ye walked up to Duan Xu and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Facing Chen Ye's question, Duan Xu pursed his lips, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes, "It's okay."
"How come you're okay?" Wang Bo cried, "He stole my money. Your brother is a thief."
Duan Xu's face changed when he heard this groundless accusation. He didn't do anything he didn't do, and he didn't want Chen Ye to misunderstand.
"I didn't steal your money."
Wang Bo excitedly took two steps towards Duan Xu, "Then how did my money get found in your drawer? Everyone saw me rummaging through your drawer."
He speaks with such conviction and force that it is easy to feel that he is telling the truth.
Chen Ye stood in front of Duan Xu and held Duan Xu's hand. "I believe my brother. He definitely didn't steal your money."
Duan Xu's slightly broad palm was held by Chen Ye's soft hand. Looking at Chen Ye who was protecting him in front of him, a feeling of unconditional trust arose in Duan Xu's heart.
At that time, surveillance was not yet popular in schools. There was no surveillance in the classroom, and the real situation could not be seen.
Zhao Qingli said, "Tomorrow you two will call your parents to the school and have a discussion with both parents. There is no solid evidence to prove that Duan stole Wang Bo's money. Everyone go home first and don't go out and say anything. Do you hear me?"
The students who were watching heard the head teacher speak and nodded obediently.
In the corner, Ming Jing looked at Duan Xu. There was hesitation and reluctance in her eyes. Chen did not miss this scene. He guessed that Ming Jing must know something.
Chen Ye let go of Duan Xu's hand and walked in front of Ming Jing, "Sister, did you see anything?"
Ming Jing opened her mouth but said nothing. Wang Bo was her relative. If she said something bad about Wang Bo and her mother heard it, she would definitely blame her for being ungrateful.
Moreover, Wang Bo is usually like a little bully. Anyone who provokes him will definitely be retaliated against wildly.
Mingjing still remembers that when she was in kindergarten, she went to visit Wang Bo's family. She had a colorful bracelet on her hand, and Wang Bo wanted it, but Mingjing didn't give it to him.
Wang Bo deliberately went to the adults and complained that Ming Jing bullied and beat him.
At that time, Wang Bo's acting was so realistic that there were marks on his hands caused by pinching himself. Ming Jing had no way to defend herself and was beaten by her mother.
Chen Ye said to Ming Jing: "Sister, tell me what you saw. If you think you were wronged, you must hope someone will tell the truth."
Looking at Chen Ye's clear eyes, Ming Jing's heart softened.
Several children who had been watching the fun originally wanted to go home but refused to leave when they saw the turn of events.
Zhao Qingli walked up to Mingjing and said, "Mingjing, the teacher taught you to help your classmates. Since you know something, tell the teacher. The teacher will definitely take care of it."
Ming Jing struggled for a few seconds, then mustered up the courage to say, "At noon, Duan Xu was not in the classroom to look for his brother. I saw Wang Bo secretly put his money into Duan Xu's drawer."
"You fart!"
Wang Bo roared, his face flushed red.
"You're lying, I didn't do anything like that."
Zhao Qingli grabbed Wang Bo's arm and said, "Wang Bo, stop swearing!"
Wang Bo pouted his lips in grievance and sobbed, "She is just talking nonsense."
Looking at Wang Bo's appearance, he looks like a victim whose money was stolen and who was slandered.
However, Zhao Qingli, who has studied child psychology, knows that children are not blank slate. Some of them are born with malice, will lie, and will hurt others.
Even when they lie subconsciously, they don't know that they are lying or that what they are doing is wrong.
So Zhao Qingli did not think that Wang Bo was innocent just because he cried so miserably.
Zhao Qingli walked up to Mingjing and asked, "Mingjing, are you telling the truth?"
Ming Jing nodded and pointed at the girl wearing glasses next to her, "Fang Fang saw it too."
Fangfang: "Teacher, I saw it too. But I was afraid of Wang Bo, so I didn't tell anyone."
She burst into tears, "Teacher, I'm not a bad kid, am I?"
Zhao Qingli hugged Fangfang and said gently: "You are not a bad child. Aren't you brave enough to speak out now?"
After comforting Fangfang, Zhao Qingli walked up to Wang Bo. Faced with the accusations of two people, Wang Bo's mentality collapsed no matter how good it was.
Zhao Qingli's tone turned cold. "I'll ask you again, was it you who put the money in Duan Xu's drawer? If you don't tell the truth, I'll go find your parents."
Wang Bo pouted and continued to cry, "Teacher, maybe I put it in the wrong place by accident. I thought Duan Xu stole it, but actually I put the money in the wrong place by accident."
Staring at Wang Bo's guilty eyes, Zhao Qingli knew that Wang Bo was trying to shirk responsibility and pretend that he did it intentionally by accident.
Sighing inwardly, Zhao Qingli said, "Everyone go back first, and don't tell anyone about what happened today. Wang Bo, ask your parents to come to school tomorrow."
If we don't care about Wang Bo's personality now, he will definitely have big problems when he enters society.
The matter was resolved and everyone left the classroom.
Chen Ye pulled Duan Xu out. Duan Xu looked down at Chen Ye and asked, "Why do you believe that I didn't steal his money?"
Chen also said: "You definitely won't."
The child's eyes were very bright, and they stared at Duan Xu like glowing gems. Duan Xu instantly understood why his friends in the capital liked their younger sister so much and wanted to take her to class with them.
They were friendly and harmonious with each other, but Wang Bo, who was carrying his schoolbag home, had a gloomy face.
He walked along the street, reached out to pluck the azalea flowers from the green belt, and then stomped on them hard.
A little wild cat jumped out from the green belt. Wang Bo grabbed the wild cat and pinched it several times. The wild cat's shrill screams attracted a passerby.
Passersby shouted, “What are you doing, kid?”
Wang Bo glared at the passerby and said, "None of your business!"
After cursing, Wang Bo ran away quickly.
Wang Bo kicked the stones on the roadside and muttered to himself.
"Duan Xu, I'm going to kill you."
"Idiot, they are all idiots, the teacher is an idiot, they are all idiots..."
His expression was horrifying. Although he was only a few years old, he looked like a mentally ill patient.
There is a reason why Wang Bo hates Duan Xu. On Monday, as soon as Duan Xu came to class, Wang Bo noticed that the clothes Duan Xu was wearing were the ones he had always wanted to buy, but because the prices were too expensive, his mother refused to buy them for him.
During class, Ming Jing accidentally soiled Duan Xu's clothes. Wang Bo thought Duan Xu would lose his temper and ask Ming Jing to pay for it, but Duan Xu didn't. He comforted Ming Jing gently and politely, like a young master who was out of place in this poor and backward city.
Seeing Duan Xu's look, Wang Bo felt that he simply hated him to death.
So he used the same old trick again, using the method of kicking out his desk mate in kindergarten to frame Duan Xu, but he didn't expect that he failed this time.
...
During the National Day in October, Zhou Ying and Li Lijun had a day off. The couple happily went shopping and bought a lot of food. In the evening, they cooked a large table of dishes.
Zhou Ying put a chicken drumstick in Chen Ye's bowl and said, "Eat more. Look at Xiao Xu. He's only one year older than you, but he's almost a head taller than you."
She put another chicken leg into Duan Xu's bowl.
Chen Ye took a bite of the chicken leg and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely grow to 1.8 meters."
Zhou Ying wondered, "How do you know?"
Chen Ye’s height in the previous worlds was about 1.8 meters, and he guessed it would be the same this time.
"I guessed, haha."
Zhou Ying rolled her eyes and pinched Chen Ye's chubby cheek, "You naughty boy."
On the evening of National Day, Zhou Ying allowed Chen Ye to sleep a little later, and Chen Ye and Duan Xu did not return to the room until half past nine.
Chen Ye immediately lay down on the bed, "Great, I finally don't have to get up early tomorrow."
Duan Xu said, "Your little cousin will be here tomorrow, and Aunt Zhou should wake you up."
Chen Ye then remembered that Zhou Ying had indeed said that his little cousin would come. The little cousin was only six years old this year, younger than him.
Through the original owner's memory, Chen also recalled the little boy with a runny nose and wearing a Sailor Moon cartoon T-shirt.
Chen also shuddered. He didn't want to play with children younger than him.
Duan Xu took off his shoes and got on the bed. "It's okay, go to sleep. I'll go out and take care of my little cousin tomorrow."
Chen also blinked, "No."
"Why not?"
"Just take care of my brother."
Duan Xu smiled and said, "Then you should get up early tomorrow."
Chen Ye covered his head and said, "Get up early if you want to."
At around nine o'clock the next day, Chen Ye was still sleeping soundly in his room when his door was banged on.
"Brother, cousin, here I come!"
"Open the door, cousin Guoguo!"
