Back to 1984: Earning Money, Raising Kids, and Keeping the Household Busy

Chapter 81 A sudden turn of events
Lin Qin laughed in anger, "Fine! Very well! Since that's how it is, then just wait and see. I refuse to believe there's no law in this world. Someone like you dares to be a teacher? Bah! You're more like a whore than a whore!"

An Meihua flew into a rage and grabbed Lin Qin, demanding, "What right do you have to insult me?"

"Why should I? Because you're cheap!" Lin Qin raised her chin, as if to say, "I've insulted you, so what? What can you do about it?"

"Dare to insult my aunt? I'll beat you to death!" An Yijie rushed over.

Chen Xinyue immediately shouted, "He's the one who led the attack on us!"

Lin Qin remembered An Yijie bullying the two children by the stream. When An Yijie rushed over, she slapped him without hesitation, making him see stars.

The students who had been watching the commotion turned pale with fright and quickly left their seats to retreat. Some even went to other teachers for help.

When An Meihua saw her nephew being beaten, she could no longer tolerate it and screamed as she rushed over to fight Lin Qin.

Lin Qin had been waiting for this opportunity. She grabbed An Meihua's hair and started hitting her head repeatedly.

An Meihua screamed in pain as she was beaten.

When the principal and his group arrived, An Meihua was being pinned down by Lin Qin, her face slapped so hard it looked like a pig's head, and she was crying so hard her voice was hoarse.

An Yijie was so frightened that he wet his pants and cowered in a corner, trembling.

"Stop! Stop!" Principal Li Maojie was so shocked by what he saw that he didn't know how to react.

Several teachers behind him quickly stepped forward to pull Lin Qin away and rescue An Meihua.

An Meihua was nearly knocked unconscious by the beating. Her face was swollen like a steamed bun, her clothes were disheveled, and she was covered in injuries.

Li Maojie screamed hysterically, "Call the police! Call the police!"

Chen Wenjun whispered a few words of advice to Lin Qin and rushed out of the school faster than the teacher who called the police.

Li Maojie and the others, thinking that Chen Wenjun had gone to get reinforcements, became even more furious and began to denounce Lin Qin.

"Chen Ruiyu's mother, no matter what misunderstandings there are between the children, you can't hit them, let alone beat the teacher like this. Who would dare to take your child in if you act like this?"

"Exactly. Teacher An has been teaching for three years and is an experienced teacher. She's not even married yet. What if she gets disfigured after you beat her up like this?"

Lin Qin let them point and whisper, but remained silent.

The two children huddled close to her, as if that made them feel safe.

Seeing Lin Qin's nonchalant and arrogant attitude, Li Maojie grew angrier and angrier, shouting, "Starting tomorrow, your two children shouldn't come to school anymore. Our school can't afford students like this!"

Lin Qin smiled coldly, crossed her arms, and said, "So the principal's power has surpassed that of the Education Bureau. Nine years of compulsory education, you can just expel him like that. So you're all in cahoots. I see now."

"Chen Ruiyu's parents, don't try to shift the blame. You were in the wrong first, and the principal's expulsion of your child is legal, compliant, and reasonable!" An elderly teacher lectured Lin Qin indignantly.

In the chaos, An Meihua was taken by her teacher to the village clinic for treatment. When they returned, the police and education bureau officials arrived one after the other.

At the same time, Chen Wenjun returned. He gave Lin Qin a reassuring look, and Lin Qin's anxious heart was finally at ease.

Lin Yaonan glanced around and his gaze landed on Lin Qin. "Name."

"Lin Qin".

"Comrade Lin Qin, the Anshan Village Primary School reported to the police that you assaulted their teacher. What is the reason?"

Lin Qin angrily pushed the two children in front of everyone. "Officer, these are my two children. They were fine when their grandfather brought them to school this morning, but when he came to pick them up at noon, both children were covered in injuries."

This afternoon I went to their homeroom teacher, An Meihua, to demand an explanation. As a result, An Meihua not only avoided talking about my child's injury, but also turned around and accused my child of bringing it on himself. She said that this kind of bitch deserves to be scolded. I said she was right to say that she has no professional ethics.

As it turns out, she was a hypocrite, wanting to have her cake and eat it too. Enraged, she shoved me, and her nephew, that An Yijie, the one who hit my child, dared to attack me. I slapped him, and An Meihua wouldn't have it. She started it; I was just fighting back. So many people saw it; I'm not lying!

The teachers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Li Maojie was furious. "Even so, you shouldn't have beaten Teacher An like that! She's a teacher after all!"

Lin Qin laughed angrily, "What's wrong with being a teacher? Does being a teacher make you superior? Does being a teacher give you the right to categorize people into different classes? Do you know how awful her words are?"

"Your two children don't get along with their classmates, often fidgeting during class, are sensitive and quiet, and can't answer the teacher's questions. I don't know what they're learning at school. In this situation, they'll just drop out and go back to work anyway, so it's better if they don't go to school at all."

Everyone says teachers should be role models, but she's a complete slut! Doesn't she fear she'll corrupt the children?

Still not satisfied, Lin Qin squatted down and looked at the two children seriously, "Tell the principal, the teachers, and the police officers, did you disrupt class? Did you disturb other children? Did you deliberately bully other classmates?"

Both children shook their heads.

The elderly teacher squatted down, trying to make his voice sound gentle, "Tell me, who did all this?"

Chen Ruiyu was timid and remained silent, but Chen Xinyue was bold and immediately pointed at An Yijie, "It's him, and him, him, him."

Chen Xinyue was vengeful; she pointed out all the classmates who had bullied them, totaling as many as seven.

The elderly teacher was furious and pressed him for an answer: "Why didn't you tell the teacher?"

Chen Xinyue lowered her head, feeling wronged. "I already said, the teacher scolded us."

Seeing her child's aggrieved expression, Lin Qin's emotions surged again. "An Meihua is An Yijie's aunt. They're all in cahoots. How could they possibly stand up for my child? My child has been bullied for so long. I've already been magnanimous by only giving her a beating!"
When I get back, I'm going to report her to the education bureau, I'll sue her to death!

Huang Weixiong coughed twice, then slowly walked out and extended his hand to Lin Qin, saying, "Hello, Comrade Lin Qin."
