Chapter 728: Almost Laughing Out loud
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Whether it’s class A or class B, it doesn’t matter,” Grandma Gao said, her eyes reflecting her indifference. “These are just societal classifications, not unbreakable barriers. I don’t like this kind of distinction. What matters to me is that if my grandson Gao Ming wants to be friends with Su Li, then wherever Su Li is, Gao Ming should be there too. He seems quite happy with this arrangement.”
She handed a piece of pastry to Gu Zi, who accepted it and seized the opportunity to voice her thoughts. “I agree with you, Grandma Gao. Rather than constantly hoping for our children to excel, I would prefer them to be happier and value relationships more.”
She paused, then continued, “Grandma Gao, I actually have a favor to ask you. It’s about Su Li. On the day we went to collect his grades, I noticed that his homeroom teacher seemed to have a bone to pick with us. I later found out that her name is Zhou Hua, but I don’t recall ever having any issues with her.
“Before Grandpa Gao retired, he was quite familiar with the higher-ups in the Guangcheng Education Department, wasn’t he? I would like to know more about this Zhou Hua, especially any information related to her network of relationships. This would help me plan ahead and resolve any conflicts, ensuring that Su Li can attend school peacefully.”
Grandma Gao listened, her gaze deepening. “That’s not a difficult task. I can have someone look into it. However, if a teacher is so biased against a student, she is not fit to be a teacher. If you need help, let me know. I can write a letter of complaint and ensure she is removed from her teaching position. There are plenty of people waiting to take her place.”
Gu Zi responded, “That’s quite excessive, considering we’ve only met her once. However, I can tell she’s clearly biased against us, and I’m worried she might target Su Li in class. I’m quite concerned. After hearing about Grandpa Gao’s connections, I thought I’d ask you for help. For now, just help me find out more about her please.”
Grandma Gao agreed, and after a few more words, Gu Zi excused herself.
As she was passing the pigeon cage on her way home, she saw Su Li feeding the pigeons. She was about to call him inside when she noticed his peculiar posture and nearly burst out laughing.
Su Li was half-squatting on the ground, one hand holding the feed bowl, the other delicately picking up feed and offering it to the pigeons. His pose was reminiscent of a graceful lady from a classical painting, which was quite amusing considering he was just a boy feeding pigeons. It was a sight that stirred concern.
However, Gu Zi was a quick-thinking and understanding mother. If this was a posture that made her child comfortable, she couldn’t laugh and hurt his self-esteem. Perhaps she should try to understand.
Gu Zi composed herself, pursed her lips, and tried to maintain a normal expression. “Su Li, do you need Mom’s help?”
Su Li, unaware of how his carefully crafted pose appeared to others, thought he had successfully caught his mother’s attention. He slowly stood up and turned slightly towards her. “Mom, I can handle it. You can go inside and rest.”
Gu Zi couldn’t bear to watch any longer. When had her second child developed such a peculiar hobby as mimicking the manners of ancient ladies? She couldn’t leave without addressing this.
“Su Li, should we talk?” she suggested. “You seem a bit strange today, but don’t worry, Mom will face it with you…”
After a heart-to-heart talk with Gu Zi, she understood what had happened. It was typical of the cunning Su Bing, even pranking his younger brother. Once Gu Zi explained the situation to Su Li, he stormed off to confront his older brother, Su Bing.
What followed was a comical scene of the younger brother chasing the older one, demanding an explanation, with a little girl trailing behind them.
Gu Zi sat on the sofa, book in hand, her gaze following the playful chase between her children. It was not unusual to see Su Li in such high spirits, but seeing Su Bing like this was rare. Therefore, her eyes were filled with hope and joy…
On the first day of school, both Su Bing and Su Li woke up earlier than usual. Their disagreement had been resolved the previous day, and they were once again the loving Su brothers.
