The water droplets on the surface of the tea bowl have not dried yet, obviously it has just been washed.

She knelt in front of the coffee table and skillfully made a cup of tea for them.

It is called making tea, but in fact it is just to get a pot of hot water from the water dispenser, and then pour the hot water from the teapot into the cup with tea leaves. That's all.

However, this is a huge improvement for Shimizu Ai, who was previously lazy and didn't know the difference between grains.

Fujii Itsuki glanced at her attentively, and Chiba Rumi whispered "thank you".

After doing all this, Shimizu Ai smiled brightly and sat almost next to Fujii Itsuki.

The hot steam from the tea bowls swirled and brushed against the cheeks of several people.

However, Fujii Itsuki was obviously in no mood to drink tea, and he got straight to the point: "Mrs. Chiba, if you're here to apologize, then why isn't Chiba Shinoko here?"

"I've never seen a client fail to show up when someone comes to make amends."

"This..." Chiba Rumi's heart tightened. The worst situation she had expected actually happened.

She clasped her hands together nervously and was evasive.

"Shinoko is...sick." Chiba Rumi turned her face away.

"What kind of disease can make her unable to walk?"

"From what I see, she simply doesn't want to apologize, right?"

Fujii Itsuki mercilessly exposed Chiba Rumi's excuses.

"No, Xiaozi has sincerely repented!"

Seeing her lie exposed, Chiba Rumi panicked, and her pretty face looked over with a strong pleading look, "Mr. Fujii, please be magnanimous and forgive her once..."

"Shinoko's father, Kenichi, had a heart attack while teaching judo to his students some time ago. He was already dead when he was sent to the hospital!"

"And Xiaozi was in the gym at the time, and witnessed her father go from being alive and well to being carried on a stretcher, and then covered with a white sheet and sent to the morgue..."

"Shinoko usually respects his father and Chiba-ryu Judo very much. He couldn't bear the blow and made such a mistake in school!"

"She has always been a very sensible and obedient child..."

"Heh--" Fujii Itsuki sneered in response to such an explanation.

"If you can't bear the blow, you can bully your classmates at school?"

"If you can't bear the blow, you can threaten me and Ogihara to take off our clothes in the bathroom and film it and upload it to the Internet?"

Fujii Itsuki crossed his arms over his chest and asked with interest, "Mrs. Chiba, both my parents are dead, and my experience is much worse than Chiba Shinoko's. Does that mean that I can't bear the blow and do irrational things to you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two women present subconsciously shuddered.

"Onii-chan, your attack power is so strong!"

Shimizu Ai's bright eyes moved secretly as she glanced at Fujii Itsuki's handsome profile.

"And his words are convincing, clear and logical, which makes people believe him!"

She sighed quietly in her heart.

After listening to the conversation between the two for such a long time, she roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

The beautiful aunt in front of me, who is called "Mrs. Chiba" by my Onii-chan, is the one whose daughter is domineering and misbehaving in school. As a result, she accidentally kicked the steel plate, which annoyed my Onii-chan, so she came here today to apologize sincerely with a gift.

Different from Shimizu Ai's sigh, Chiba Rumi was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

"Mr. Fujii is right. The death of her father should not be a reason for Shinoko to bully her classmates..."

"Kenichi, Shinoko, what should I do?"

A feeling of sadness suddenly welled up in her heart for no reason, and Chiba Rumi was at a loss for a moment.

"thump!"

With no other options left, she left the sofa with her beautiful body and pressed her white polka-dot skirt under her knees.

Unexpectedly, Chiba Rumi pursed her pink lips and knelt directly on the floor of Fujii's house.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fujii..."

"If a daughter is not taught well, it's the mother's fault. All the mistakes are my fault as a mother!"

"If Mr. Fujii still has any dissatisfaction with Shinoko, please vent all your anger on me, your incompetent mother!"

"I didn't teach her well..."

Her decisive action made Fujii Itsuki raise his eyebrows involuntarily, while Shimizu Ai widened her eyes in shock.

"Ah, no?"

"Auntie, can you do anything?"

“These are my words!”

Shimizu Ai opened her mouth slightly, and seeing that Fujii Itsuki hadn't responded yet, she turned her head away tactfully.

“Should I consciously step aside and give Onii-chan some space to operate?”

"No, no, I can let go of one sheep, and I can let go of two sheep as well."

“What if Onii-chan wants to solve both… er, both problems at once?”

As she thought about it, Shimizu Ai's face unconsciously turned red.

Just as her mind was full of pornographic garbage and she was daydreaming, Fujii Itsuki said indifferently: "Mrs. Chiba, please stop joking. I have no grudge against you. Even if I beat you up on the spot, it will not help."

At the mention of the word "fight", Fujii Itsuki's eyelids twitched and his back ached slightly. The wound from the fight a few days ago had not yet fully healed.

However, he remained calm, and his stern refusal did not dissuade Chiba Rumi from the idea. The other party became more and more humble, and even lowered her face to beg for mercy.

"Mr. Fujii, please give my Xiaozi a chance to reform, I beg you..."

"I promise to discipline her strictly, keep her away from those bad guys, and never bully her classmates again!"

As Chiba Rumi spoke, she took out a thick envelope from her bag and handed it to Fujii Itsuki with both hands.

"Mr. Fujii, here is one million in compensation."

"Whether you forgive Xiaozi or not, please accept the compensation as a small consolation for an incompetent woman like me."

"One, one million!" Shimizu Ai, who was sitting upright next to her, immediately lit up her eyes when she heard the compensation.

“That’s one million!”

"What on earth did Onii-chan do?"

"I can actually make such a beautiful aunt kneel down and beg, afraid that Onii-chan will not accept me!"

One million yen is about 48,000 yuan when converted into RMB.

It is roughly equal to what he would earn working as a cashier in a convenience store for a year.

Fujii Itsuki made a silent estimate in his mind.

In other words, if he had this one million in cash now, he would not have to work part-time at a convenience store to earn a living in the future.

This money is enough for his food, clothing and daily necessities for the next two and a half years, and will enable him to achieve temporary financial freedom.

And Momonogi Eiko, the head of the family, can no longer use living expenses to control him!

Chapter 33: In line with Zhou etiquette

After considering it for a long time, Fujii Itsuki was still reluctant to express his opinion.

Seeing this, Chiba Rumi seemed to have been drained of her strength. She hunched her slender waist, knelt on the ground, and tried one last time: "Mr. Fujii, is it not enough?"

"I can add more, but Jianyi passed away suddenly some time ago, and the family's cash was hastily used to pay for his funeral, so we can only come up with this million."

"As long as you agree, I'll go to the nearest convenience store to get the money now!"

Chiba Rumi raised her beautiful face with a cloud of worry in it, her eyes were dull and her beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Ever since her husband died and her daughter rebelled, the barren land in her heart seemed to be crawling with cobwebs.

Convenience stores in Japan support cash withdrawal services, but the limits are different. For example, 711-10 convenience stores can only withdraw a maximum of yen a day.

"It's not a matter of money..."

Fujii Itsuki put down his crossed legs and changed his sitting position.

"I have no intention of embarrassing Mrs. Chiba. I also admire your mother for doing this for her daughter Chiba Shinoko."

"only……"

Supporting his chin, Fujii Itsuki leaned forward and stared at Chiba Rumi who was kneeling in front of him.

"Madam, can you really guarantee that Chiba Xiaozi will reform?"

"She is your daughter, you should know her best."

"I..." Chiba Rumi was speechless for a moment, feeling a little unsure, so she leaned on her knees and stammered, "Mr. Fujii, I'm very sorry, I can't give you a definite answer."

"But as long as you agree to forgive Xiaozi, the school will revoke Xiaozi's expulsion notice, and I can also arrange for Xiaozi to take a leave of absence or drop out as soon as possible."

Dropping out of school and being expelled are different. If you drop out of school, you still have the opportunity to take the college entrance examination again, but if you are expelled, you will lose everything.

"I promise that I will never let Xiaozi appear in Arakawa School again!"

"I will also do my best to restrain Xiaozi, if possible..."

Chiba Rumi raised her pretty face, her delicate eyebrows were beautiful and charming.

There was a plea in her voice: "I want Mr. Fujii's help!"

"what?"

This was even more shocking than asking Fujii Itsuki to vent his anger.

"It's like this. Since we parted ways in the principal's office, Shinoko seems to be angry with Mr. Fujii. When she mentions your name, she visibly trembles and is afraid."

"To put it simply, Xiaozi is a little afraid of you, so I want you to help her when she is disobedient..."

"Wait, Mrs. Chiba." Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but interrupt Chiba Rumi, "I don't think I have the obligation to help you educate your daughter, right?"

"Please, Mr. Fujii!" Chiba Rumi bent her beautiful body again.

"I...I can pay!"

"Huh?" If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Fujii Itsuki would even have suspected that he was daydreaming.

Pay someone to teach your daughter a lesson?

Isn’t Mrs. Chiba’s train of thought a little... too unconventional?

“But this seems to be the best way to deal with it.”

Fujii Itsuki was thinking in his mind.

In addition to not seeing Chiba Shinoko on campus, he will also receive a compensation amount sufficient to support him in the coming years.

The most important thing is that he unexpectedly developed a part-time job!

It's like picking up a random kid at the elementary school gate, giving him a piece of candy, and then asking him to teach another kid a lesson.

Children’s affairs should be handled by the children.

This is in accordance with Zhou li!

"cough--"

Fujii Itsuki coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the two women.

He spoke softly into Chiba Rumi's beautiful eyes that were full of expectation.

"Since this concerns a hard-working mother's earnest hope for her daughter and the reform of a school bully, it is naturally my duty."

"Thank you, Mr. Fujii!"

Hearing his voice, Chiba Rumi was almost overwhelmed with joy. The desolate area in her heart was like a long-drought finally being moistened by the refreshing rain.

"Thank you."

Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her soft, boneless hands tightly held Fujii Itsuki's hand.

This was the first and only good news she had heard since her husband's death.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was running around for her daughter and was exhausted, Fujii Itsuki sighed silently in his heart: As mothers, how come Momonogi Eiko and Chiba Rumi are so different?
