Tian Yulan had just gotten home from work and was about to relax her exhausted body, but before she could even sit down and take a sip of water, her mobile phone rang abruptly.
She picked up the phone and saw Song Jie's name displayed on the screen; a bad premonition instantly surged in her heart.
She hurriedly answered the phone, her expression turning tense in an instant, and shouted at Yan Peng while doing so: "Quick, come with me to the tutoring class."
While rushing toward the tutoring class in a fluster. Seeing his wife in such a hurry, Yan Peng also hurriedly followed, asking as he ran: "What happened? What's going on?"
Tian Yulan said anxiously: "Song Jie called, saying my mom is causing a scene at the tutoring class."
When Tian Yulan and Yan Peng arrived at the tutoring class panting, they saw Song Jie sitting in the office with the door open, his face dark as if water could drip from it.
Cai Juying was being held back by several salespeople and a security guard, still cursing outside the door, her voice sharp and angry. "What kind of teachers are you? How can you treat a child like this? My grandson is so well-behaved, how could you bring yourselves to lay a hand on him?"
At the sight of this scene, Tian Yulan immediately panicked and hurriedly had Yan Peng pull Cai Juying and Yan Ziyou outside.
She herself took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, then knocked on Song Jie's office door.
Tian Yulan entered the office and said with an apologetic face: "Manager Song, I'm truly sorry. My elder doesn't know any better, please don't take it to heart. She's just worried about the child and acted on impulse."
Song Jie let out a cold snort and said: "Your child doesn't study properly, what's wrong with me educating him a bit? Your elder even ran over to quarrel with me."
Tian Yulan hurriedly said: "Yes yes yes, Manager Song is right, Zi You really should study hard. But please don't be too angry, ruining your health over anger isn't good."
After speaking, Tian Yulan took out a shopping card for their mall from her bag and handed it over.
She kept this shopping card in her bag at all times; after all, working at the mall, she had to give them out from time to time.
Seeing the shopping card, Song Jie's complexion finally improved somewhat. Coupled with Tian Yulan's sincere apology, the matter was considered settled.
Tian Yulan came to the parking lot. Yan Peng, having heard Cai Juying's account, was just about to go in and settle accounts with Song Jie.
Seeing Tian Yulan come out, he immediately went up to ask what Song Jie said. "How can he be a teacher like this? This is too excessive!" Yan Peng said angrily.
Tian Yulan pulled Yan Peng back and said: "Forget it, don't go. I've already apologized to Song Jie, let's just leave it at that."
Yan Peng refused to let it go: "Just leave it at that? You even apologized to him? The child suffered such a grievance, and you actually apologized to him?"
Tian Yulan said helplessly: "What else can we do if we don't apologize? Can we do anything to Song Jie? The child is still in his class right now, we can't offend him. Besides, isn't it normal for a child to be scolded a few sentences by a teacher?"
Under Tian Yulan's forceful dragging, she finally managed to pull Yan Peng into the car.
Arriving home, Tian Yulan first sent Cai Juying away, promising she would handle this matter properly.
After Cai Juying left, Yan Peng couldn't help but start quarreling with Tian Yulan. "Look at you, what kind of teacher did you find for the child? The child suffered such a grievance, and you just let it go?" Yan Peng accused.
Tian Yulan also felt wronged and said: "So what if a teacher scolds a few sentences? I'm doing it for the child's own good, wanting him to get into a good school."
Yan Peng said angrily: "Even for the child's good you can't ignore the child's feelings! Do you know how miserable Zi You is? Did you already know long ago that Zi You was being scolded by the teacher at the tutoring class?"
Hearing this, Tian Yulan let out a deep sigh, then pulled Yan Peng into the bedroom.
She walked to the writing desk, opened the laptop, and the sound of the teacher berating Yan Ziyou came from inside.
Yan Peng's face was full of shock as he asked: "Where did this come from?"
Tian Yulan's expression was complex as she slowly said: "This was recorded by a voice recorder placed in Yan Ziyou's schoolbag. I also wanted to understand the child's situation at school better, never expecting..."
Hearing this, Yan Peng's face grew even darker, anger burning in his heart. He clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly: "How could you do this? You knew long ago the child was suffering such grievance at school, why didn't you say so earlier? Why didn't you take measures?"
Compared to today's incident at the tutoring class, what angered Yan Peng most was that Tian Yulan, as a mother, had actually long since discovered Song Jie's brutal teaching style through the voice recorder.
Yan Peng said with heartache: "You clearly knew the other party publicly humiliated your son, yet you still chose to swallow your anger. You're completely doing it for the sake of the report card's face, tacitly allowing this vile situation to spread. Have you thought about the child's feelings? He's still so small, how can he bear such pressure?"
Under Yan Peng's accusations, Tian Yulan's face turned pale, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her resolve.
Tian Yulan bit her lip and said: "Yan Peng, do you think I want this? Isn't what I do for Zi You's future? In this society, without good grades, how can one get into a good school? How can one have a good future? I can't let Zi You lose at the starting line."
Her voice trembled slightly as she continued: "I know Song Jie's teaching methods may be a bit rough, but he really can improve Zi You's grades. I had no choice but to swallow my anger. I thought as long as Zi You's grades improved, everything would be worth it."
Tian Yulan's eye rims reddened a little as she looked at Yan Peng and said: "I also feel heartache for Zi You, I hope more than anyone that he can grow up happily. But reality is this cruel, we can't only consider the child's feelings, we also have to be responsible for his future."
After speaking, Tian Yulan lowered her head, tears silently sliding down. She knew her approach might be a bit extreme, but she truly did it for Zi You's good. She hoped Yan Peng could understand her hardship and work together for Zi You's future.
Yan Peng said agitatedly: "You can't only think about high scores and prestigious schools and standing out above others, you also have to consider whether the child can withstand the pressure! Doing this will drive the child crazy."
Tian Yulan directly retorted: "You normally don't care about the child's studies, you have no qualification to come out and play the nice guy now. Even though your family is well-off and you can choose to live off your parents, Zi You can't be like his father; only by making himself excellent can he live securely."
Listening to his parents quarreling in the living room, Yan Ziyou returned to his room alone, his small figure appearing so lonely and helpless.
He lay on the bed, tears falling silently. He didn't understand why Dad and Mom always quarreled, why he had to study so hard.
