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

Part 272 A rebellious little second

He stiffened his neck and said, "I said I'm not wrong, so I'm not wrong."

"You... you..." Xu Teacher was furious. She had assumed Zhou Zehan, like Zhou Zedong, would be a pushover—easy to manipulate. But to her surprise, he dared to talk back.

Pointing at his nose, she snapped, "Get to the back and stand there!"

Zhou Zehan immediately retorted, "Why? I didn't do anything wrong!"

Xu Teacher: "..."

The students also looked at her in confusion, unable to understand why Zhou Zehan was being punished.

They, too, felt Zhou Zehan hadn't done anything wrong.

These kids were newcomers who hadn't yet endured Xu Teacher's oppressive ways, unlike the students in Class 4A, who wouldn't dare argue with her.

Xu Teacher's anger surged; her face turned livid. She jabbed her finger toward Zhou Zehan's face. "You call yourself a student? A student who doesn't even listen to their teacher? What kind of student is that?"

Zhou Zehan tilted his head, avoiding her annoying finger. "If I listen to you just because you tell me to stand as punishment, does that mean if you tell me to die, I have to go die too?"

Xu Teacher's face twisted in rage. "You—you really are an animal raised without a mother's teaching!"

Zhou Zehan replied, "Bounce back."

Xu Teacher: "..."

Classmates: "..."

Xu Teacher was nearly driven to a faint by anger. Seeing his "dead pig unafraid of boiling water" attitude, her fury burned even hotter. With a loud *smack*, she slapped his face with the book in her hand.

"You're out of control! Watch how I deal with you, you brat!"

Being an adult and wielding a hard book, the strike turned Zhou Zehan's face to the side.

Jiang Jiu, seeing his second brother get hit, immediately rushed over and rammed into Xu Teacher.

The other students were equally enraged, thinking this teacher had gone too far.

At this school, all the other teachers treated them well.

They had never encountered such an infuriating teacher before.

Some of the more timid children were frightened to tears.

Xu Teacher had never dealt with such a rebellious class. Being rammed by Jiang Jiu almost made her spit blood. She trembled all over, shaking with rage.

Having seen her fair share of unruly behavior, Xu Teacher yanked Jiang Jiu out and shook him violently. If she'd had a stick in her hand, she might have lashed them both without hesitation.

Jiang Jiu was shaken so hard that stars danced before his eyes.

But before Xu Teacher could do anything further, Zhou Zehan charged at her and bit down on her hand.

"Ahhh—!" she screamed, the sound piercing and shrill like a pig being slaughtered.

In her panic, she flung both children away.

The classroom descended into utter chaos...

That afternoon, Xu Teacher stormed into the principal's office to complain, insisting she would no longer teach the first graders, trying to play the victim.

However, before she could finish her rant, the principal interrupted, "A parent just filed a complaint saying you physically punished their child. The kids have all made it clear they don't want you teaching them. Xu Teacher, you don't have to say anything—I wouldn't dare assign you to that class anymore."
