Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s Ⅱ

Part 260 Bow your head

The woman held her daughter tightly, examining her up and down, occasionally emitting sharp cries as if her daughter had sustained a serious injury.

Si Nian's eyelids twitched. She disliked unruly children, but if Nuan Nuan really was hurt, it would probably escalate the situation.

A simple piece of sweet cake had sparked a violent incident.

Wu Renai shared the same concern and stepped forward to explain, "Nuan Nuan's mom, don't worry. I just checked her, and she's fine. She's just a bit scared."

Hearing this, Nuan Nuan's mother immediately darkened her expression. "I enrolled my daughter here because I heard about your school's good learning environment. Yet on her first day, she gets bullied!"

With that, her gaze shifted to Si Nian and the still-silent Zhou Zedong, who was standing protectively behind her.

It seemed that she understood something and immediately stood up, glaring at Si Nian. "So it's your son who bullied my Nuan Nuan, right? Just look at her crying. Are you saying your son finds my Nuan Nuan pretty and deliberately teased her? That's why she's in tears?"

"Nuan Nuan's mom, you're misunderstanding. It's not like that," Wu Renai quickly stepped forward to help Si Nian explain, fearing that the other woman would say something too extreme. Nuan Nuan's mother looked fierce and was clearly not someone who would back down easily.

"It doesn't matter if it's like this or like that! My Nuan Nuan is such a cute girl, and this boy actually laid his hands on her! How do adults teach their children these days?"

"It's not my mom's fault," Zhou Zedong stepped forward, his little face taut. "I didn't bully her! She's the one who tried to take my food!"

Wu Renai added, "Yes, yes, Nuan Nuan's mom, your Nuan Nuan tried to take Little Dong's food and even knocked over his lunchbox. That's why he pushed her a little, and that's how she ended up crying."

"Nonsense! My daughter never starts trouble; it must be the other party—" Nuan Nuan's mother was about to argue when she took a good look at Zhou Zedong's handsome little face, then glanced back at her own daughter's round, plump face.

Who's really teasing who here?

The thought spun in her mind, and she quickly added, "It must be because the other person is too good-looking, and that's why they couldn't control themselves. How could such a handsome boy tease a girl? My initial assumption was completely wrong!"

After saying this, she turned her glare back to her puffy-eyed daughter and scolded, "Nuan Nuan, did you steal someone else's food and knock over that boy's lunchbox?"

Nuan Nuan pouted, her head lowered in guilt. "The sweet pancakes smelled so good; I was hungry."

"You little brat! When I buy you food at home, you won't eat it when it's right in front of you, but you go and steal someone else's at school! Are you still even a girl?"

With that, she gave Nuan Nuan's ear a gentle tug, and the girl trembled in fear at her mother's stern gaze.

Just moments ago, the little girl was trembling, but now her legs gave way, and she burst into tears again, louder than before.

Si Nian's lips twitched in response. Didn't they say she was brave and wouldn't cry even when listening to ghost stories? So why was she scared into tears by just one comment?

After scolding Nuan Nuan, Nuan Nuan's mother turned and walked over, her demeanor shifting dramatically. She smiled warmly, placing a hand on Zhou Zedong's shoulder. "Little Dong, don't be angry; Auntie has already taught her a lesson. If she bullies you again in the future, just tell Auntie, okay?"
