Chapter 671: Refusing to Give in
"Banggeng, is your stomach hurting again?" "Haha, he must have pooped his pants, otherwise he would run so fast." All kinds of ridicule and teasing were like knives, stabbing Banggeng's heart. He was angry and annoyed, but he could do nothing but endure it silently. Banggeng's grandmother, Jia Zhang, loved her grandson the most. That day, Banggeng came home from school, looking depressed, and went into the house without eating. Jia Zhang felt something was wrong and followed him in to ask. Banggeng was reluctant to say it at first, but after repeated questioning by his grandmother, he told her about being laughed at by his classmates at school. When Jia Zhang heard it, she was furious: "They are rebelling. How dare they bully my grandson! I will teach them a lesson." The next day, Jia Zhang waited at the gate of Banggeng's school early. When the school bell rang, the students walked out of the school one after another. Jia Zhang saw the male classmates who often laughed at Bang Geng at a glance. Without saying a word, she rushed over and grabbed the collar of one of the classmates named Wang Qiang: "You are the one who bullied my Bang Geng, right? I will teach you a lesson today!" As she said that, she raised her hand and slapped him. Wang Qiang was stunned by the beating. He covered his face with fear and grievance in his eyes. Seeing this, the other classmates turned around and ran away in fear. Jia Zhang was not willing to give up. She chased them and scolded them again, and patted one of the classmates on the back a few times. This scene happened to be seen by Wang Qiang's mother who was passing by. Seeing her son being beaten and scolded by a strange old lady, she felt so distressed that she ran over and pushed Jia Zhang away: "Why did you beat my son? How did he offend you?" Jia Zhang put her hands on her waist and said righteously: "Your child bullied my grandson, what's wrong with me teaching him a lesson?" Wang Qiang's mother was even more angry when she heard it: "It's normal for children to fight and quarrel. How can you, an adult, hit someone?" The two of them argued back and forth, and soon they quarreled. Several other classmates who were chased by Jia Zhang also ran home and told their parents. Not long after, the parents of these male classmates rushed to the school gate after learning about this. They gathered together and discussed to find Jia Zhang to ask for an explanation. Everyone said one thing and another, and they all felt that Jia Zhang's behavior was too much and she must apologize. So a group of people walked towards the courtyard in a mighty manner. At the gate of the courtyard, Jia Zhang was still arguing with Wang Qiang's mother. Suddenly, she saw a group of people coming towards her, led by the classmates she had beaten. She was shocked and realized that the matter had become serious, but she refused to give in. The parents of the male classmates walked up to Jia Zhang and surrounded her. One parent said angrily: "You are Bang Geng's grandmother, right? Why did you beat our child? You must give an explanation today!" Although Jia Zhang was a little scared, she still said: "They bullied my grandson first, and I should teach them a lesson." Another parent said: "Even if there is a conflict between children, you can't do it. You are hurting minors." Jia Zhang listened and said disapprovingly: "I beat them, so what? What can you do to me?" The quarrel between the two sides became more and more intense, and the sound attracted other neighbors in the courtyard. Uncle Yi Zhonghai, Uncle Liu Haizhong, Uncle Yan Bugui and others came out to check the situation. Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward to persuade them: "Everyone, stop arguing and talk it over. What happened?" Wang Qiang's mother told Yi Zhonghai what happened. After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai frowned and said to Jia Zhang: "Sister-in-law, what you did was wrong. No matter what, you can't hit the child." Jia Zhang didn't buy it: "Uncle, you don't know how they bullied my grandson. How can I not be angry?" At this time, Banggeng walked out of the courtyard. He saw so many people surrounding his grandmother and heard everyone quarreling, and he felt guilty and scared. He walked to Jia Zhang and whispered, "Grandma, stop arguing. It's my fault. I shouldn't have told you." Jia Zhang looked at her grandson and said distressedly, "My dear grandson, don't be afraid. Grandma is venting her anger for you." Bang Geng cried and said, "Grandma, you will only embarrass me more. I don't want to be laughed at by my classmates again." Seeing Bang Geng say this, Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to say to Jia Zhang, "Sister-in-law, you see Bang Geng said this, so you should apologize to him. We are all neighbors. We will see each other sooner or later. Don't make the relationship awkward." Jia Zhang listened to her grandson's words, looked at the eyes of the neighbors around her, and knew that she had really done something wrong this time. She lowered her head and whispered to the parents of the male classmates, "Yes... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit your child. I was wrong." The parents of the male classmates saw Jia Zhang apologize, and their anger subsided a little. Wang Qiang's mother said, "Forget about the apology, but don't do this again in the future. Let the children solve their own problems." The other parents also nodded in agreement. Seeing that the matter was resolved, Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "That's right. We are all family. If there are any conflicts in the future, sit down and talk it out." After this incident, Banggeng's life at school gradually got better. When his classmates saw that his grandmother apologized, they stopped laughing at him. Banggeng also learned a lesson from this incident. He knew that his grandmother acted impulsively because she loved him too much. He decided to face things bravely in the future and no longer let his grandmother worry about him. And because of this incident, the neighbors in the courtyard understood the importance of mutual understanding and tolerance among neighbors. Life still goes on in the courtyard. Although there are occasional minor frictions, everyone has learned to cherish this rare neighborly love and jointly protect this small world full of fireworks.
The turmoil in the courtyard: Jia Zhang's throwing a tantrum and transformation. In the early morning of that day, the courtyard gradually woke up as usual, with curls of smoke rising from the kitchen, filled with the smell of life. However, Jia Zhang caused quite a turmoil in the courtyard because of a small matter. The cause of the incident was that an old bed sheet she hung in the yard was blown to the ground by the wind and covered with dust. Jia Zhang believed that it was Xiao Zhao, a neighbor who had just moved in, who had knocked it down while walking in the yard. Without saying a word, she stood in the middle of the yard, with her hands on her hips, and yelled at the top of her voice: "Which wicked thing dropped my bed sheet on the ground? You have no eyes! How can I live like this? I am old and have only this little property, and I am still bullied like this..."
