Chapter 988: To Protect You

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as the aunties returned to the shared housing complex, they were greeted by a cacophony of children’s voices chanting a mocking tune about the Su family:

“Pig vaccine is here, Su’s reign is done! Poor little Su, cast out and shunned! Back to the village, they’ll have to go, Plowing fields, fetching water—oh, what a show!”

The aunties nearly fainted from anger. Regret surged through them like a tidal wave—why had they badmouthed the Su family in front of their children? Now the kids had not only internalized the gossip but turned it into a sing-song taunt.

Worse yet, this tune had likely reached the ears of the Su family. No wonder Su Shen had been so livid! Those little rascals had practically signed their own death warrants!

Fuming, the aunties charged forward and grabbed their respective children by the collars, unleashing a storm of scolding. “What nonsense are you singing? Do you want to tear the neighborhood apart? Go home this instant, prepare an apology, and make sure you play nicely with Su Li from now on. If he asks you to fetch something, you fetch it. If he tells you to do something, you do it. Understand?”

The children, bewildered and teary-eyed, were dragged home in a flurry of reprimands. Sitting on their beds, they were still processing the abrupt shift.

Just yesterday, their parents had joined in badmouthing the Su family and hadn’t stopped them from singing the very same tune. Today, it was all about apologizing to Su Li. “Adults are so fickle!” one child muttered, wiping their eyes.

Meanwhile, Gu Zi had an entirely different morning. She had entrusted Su Le to Grandma Gao’s care and set off for Renhe Middle School to attend a critical lecture. The homeroom teacher had specifically called to stress the lecture’s importance, urging her not to miss it.

This was Gu Zi’s first time attending a class at school. As she walked, she rehearsed how she would introduce herself to her classmates, trying to sound approachable yet confident.

But as soon as she arrived at the school gates, the Chinese teacher intercepted her and led her straight to the faculty office. She didn’t even make it to the classroom.

Puzzled, Gu Zi watched as the teacher opened a textbook and pointed to the syllabus. “Given your situation, we’ve decided not to send you to the classroom. Instead, the subject teachers will take turns giving you private lessons here in the office. We’ll highlight key points and exam content for you to review at home.”
