Chapter 289: The Bad Teacher Likes Him A Lot
“Correct.” Teacher Ye nodded quickly, “I remember.”
Jiang Die lowered her smile, her gaze calmly fixed on her, “Then does Teacher Ye know that the children in kindergarten are laughing at my two children for not having a father?”
“I…” Teacher Ye lowered her eyes, concealing her current guilt, “Did Zhan Zhan and Momo say something when they got home?”
Jiang Die frowned, and Jiang Yuan’s slightly forceful voice suddenly came to her ears, “Teacher Ye, can you please answer my sister’s question first?”
Teacher Ye looked up at Jiang Yuan, pulling out a stiff smile: “Now that you mention it, I suddenly remember that there was such a situation. I immediately criticized the students who were making a fuss at the time.”
“Then why didn’t Teacher Ye tell me, as a parent?” Jiang Die asked.
Teacher Ye explained: “I have already criticized the students who were making a fuss, and it wasn’t a particularly serious matter. Zhan Zhan and Momo didn’t seem to be affected, so I thought I wouldn’t bother your work.”
“Just because you think they weren’t affected, they weren’t affected?” Jiang Yuan sneered.
Teacher Ye pursed her lips and remained silent.
Jiang Yuan continued, “This isn’t the first time this situation has happened, right?”
“I’m not sure about the exact number of times.” Teacher Ye began to shift responsibility, “Moreover, Zhan Zhan and Momo haven’t come to me to complain. Our work is so busy every day, it’s impossible to pay attention to them all the time.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan sneered, “Teacher Ye is too busy to pay attention to them, or do you think they are children from single-parent families, powerless, and don’t need to be cared about?”
Teacher Ye’s expression suddenly changed, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Whether it’s nonsense or not, Teacher Ye knows in her heart.”
Jiang Yuan had talked with the two children in the morning, and they said that Teacher Ye often asked students what their parents did for a living.
Isn’t this indirectly probing the students’ family backgrounds?
Zhan Zhan and Momo said that the teacher’s attitude towards Zhang Zhixin was particularly good because Zhang Zhixin’s family sold jewelry and had given Teacher Ye shiny beads before.
In the corner of the office, under the windowsill, sat a crystal-clear fish tank. Three small goldfish swam among the emerald-green water plants, their tails wagging and creating ripples.
The largest goldfish, upon hearing the humans’ conversation, blew bubbles and discussed with its companions.
“Look, finally a parent has come to settle accounts with this bad teacher!”
“Yeah, this kind of bad teacher always bullies human cubs, it’s detestable!”
“Hmph, she doesn’t just bully human cubs, she bullies fish too, always preventing other teachers from feeding the fish!”
“She’s the teacher fish hate the most!”
“Guru fish are so hungry…”
This sudden conversation attracted Jiang Yuan’s attention.
She looked up and scanned the office, her gaze falling on the miniature ocean world in the corner.
Jiang Yuan got up and walked to the fish tank, her fingertips touching the glass and tapping it a few times, “Fish, are you hungry?”
“Hungry, hungry!” the small goldfish replied quickly.
Its companion chided it, “You silly, how can humans understand what fish say?”
Jiang Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly. She picked up the feed nearby, flipped her porcelain-white wrist, and fine feed rustled into the water, creating tiny ripples.
Seeing this, Teacher Ye frowned, a look of absurdity flashing across her face.
What’s wrong with this parent? Chatting and then going to feed the fish? She’s crazy!
The small goldfish wagged their gossamer fins, happily pecking at the floating fish feed.
Jiang Yuan waited for a moment before speaking, “Babies, can I ask you a few questions?”
“What questions?” the small goldfish asked doubtfully, “No, can you understand what we’re saying?”
Jiang Yuan curved her lips, her eyes smiling, “Yes, I heard you just now say that she’s a bad teacher. Can you tell me how bad she is?”
Hearing this, Teacher Ye’s mouth twitched a few times, and she asked Jiang Die in a mocking tone, “Parent of Zhan Zhan and Momo, does your sister have some mental issues?”
“You’re the one with mental issues.” Jiang Die glared at her angrily.
Teacher Ye’s face darkened, “I’m speaking out of concern, what’s with your attitude?”
Jiang Die ignored her and got up to stand beside Jiang Yuan.
The small goldfish blew pearly bubbles, looking curiously at Jiang Yuan and Jiang Die, “Whose human cub’s parents are you?”
“Do you know those human cubs?” Jiang Yuan was also very curious.
Small goldfish: “We know the ones who come to the office often.”
Jiang Yuan: “Then do you know Zhang Zhixin?”
Small goldfish: “Yes, he’s a little fatty, he often comes to give things to the bad teacher, and the bad teacher likes him a lot! Are you Zhang Zhixin’s parents?”
“No.” Jiang Yuan shook her head, “We are the parents of Zhan Zhan and Momo. They are a pair of dragon and phoenix twins. Do you know them?”
“We know them too!” The small goldfish’s tone involuntarily carried a bit of sympathy, “You’re actually Zhan Zhan and Momo’s parents. Your human cubs also come to the bad teacher often, but the bad teacher doesn’t like them, and her tone is always very fierce when she speaks!”
Jiang Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly, her voice deepened a bit, “Can you tell me what you know about the situation?”
“Sure!” the small goldfish readily agreed, “That little fatty Zhang Zhixin always bullies your human cubs.”
The small goldfish fell into recollection—
At first, Zhang Zhixin said Zhan Zhan and Momo were children without a father, and Teacher Ye had indeed stopped him.
But the next day, Zhang Zhixin took out some shiny beads from his backpack and gave them to Teacher Ye in the office.
From then on, no matter how Zhang Zhixin bullied them, Teacher Ye never said anything.
Zhan Zhan and Momo also went back to Teacher Ye to complain, but how did Teacher Ye answer at the time?
Teacher Ye told Zhan Zhan and Momo, “Your mother said your family is a single-parent family, and you were born without a father, so classmate Zhang Zhixin didn’t say anything wrong.”
“But teacher, classmate Zhixin was mocking me and my sister.” Zhan Zhan said with a very serious expression.
“It’s just classmates joking around.” Teacher Ye said with a helpless expression, “Zhan Zhan, why are you so serious at such a young age?”
Zhan Zhan: “But Teacher Ye, it’s not my sister’s and my fault that we don’t have a father, so why do they keep talking about us?”
Teacher Ye frowned, her tone becoming a bit harsh, “Yes, it’s not your fault you don’t have a father, but it’s not classmate Zhixin’s fault either. I’ve already said he was just joking, can you be more sensible and not cause trouble for the teacher?”
“Brother, maybe we should go home and tell Mom.” Momo felt Teacher Ye was very fierce and tugged at her brother’s hem, feeling wronged, “Mom will definitely help us!”
Hearing this, Teacher Ye, worried they would go home and complain to their parents, began to manipulate them.
