Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 439
Chapter 439: Self Defense
Being ignored by Lu Jueyu, the other villagers were angry. They looked at the teachers and said, “Teacher Lin, Teacher Wang, look at your good students. Not only did they refuse to apologize and compensate my son, but his mother was also rude toward us. She doesn’t take us seriously at all!”
Hearing her words, Teacher Lin frowned and said, “Mother Chen, the person who bullied student Dong and student Feng is your son. He is the initiator of this fight. How can you distort the facts and accuse others?”
After hearing what she said, Gou Dan’s mother opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief, “Did I distort the facts? Look at my son and look at them! Who is being beaten here?!”
After hearing what she said, other parents looked at their son’s condition and complained one after another, asking Dong Li and others to apologize to their son.
Lu Jueyu said nothing and continued to treat Feng Lin’s wounds. After saying that, she stood up and turned to look at them.
She looked at everyone and said calmly, “The person who bullied my children is your son, but you asked my son and daughter to pay medical bills and apologize to your son.”
“My son acted in self-defense and he was not at fault. As a victim, shouldn’t we receive compensation and an apology from your sons instead?” she added.
After hearing her words, Mother Chen and others were stunned. They didn’t expect that she would answer so calmly under the pressure of so many people.
After a while, one of them finally said, “Anyway, it was my son who was seriously injured, not your son! So, you must compensate us!”
“Then who will compensate for the injuries to my children and their friends?” Lu Jueyu repeated her question.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, Zhang Dongmei and Chen Anwen rushed into the teacher’s office. When Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu saw their mother coming in, they quickly stood up, lowered their heads, and said in unison, “Mother.”
Lu Wenyi cried loudly the moment he saw his mother. He threw himself into his mother’s arms, and said aggrievedly, “Mother, you are finally here! They bullied Xiaoyi, my cousins, and Brother Lin. Waa!!”
At first, Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu thought their mother would scold them and make them apologize as usual. But today, their mother frowned while she examined their bodies. After checking her sons from head to toe and making sure that they were not injured, Zhang Dongmei breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at her sons and asked, “Did they hit you?”
Hearing her question, they both shook their heads. Zhang Dongmei nodded. She stood before them, looking at the other parents.
When her eyes fell on Gou Dan and the other students, she frowned and asked, “Teacher, what’s going on?”
When Teacher Lin saw everyone finally present, she recounted what happened on the riverbank. As soon as she finished explaining, Zhang Dongmei said, “So, it was student Chen who initiated the fight to steal my niece’s food?”
After hearing what she said, Teacher Lin nodded and said, “That’s indeed what happened.”
Chen Anwen looked at the crying Lu Wenyi, and then at the seriously injured Dong Huang and Feng Lin. By this time, the bruises on their faces had turned purple and swollen, and the injuries looked terrifying.
She looked back at Gou Dan’s mother and others and said, “Now that the case is clear, we shouldn’t waste everyone’s time. Compensate our children’s medical expenses and apologize to our children. Otherwise, I won’t let this matter rest!”
Finding her words unreasonable, Gou Dan’s mother spat and said, “Bah! It’s your son who should compensate and apologize.”
Seeing her being so rude, Zhang Dongmei frowned and said, “It’s obviously your son’s fault, but you still ask my family’s children to apologize and compensate you? How can you be so shameless?”
“Teacher, there is evidence and witnesses. We believe that the school will give us an explanation and give our children justice. We send our children to school to study, not to be bullied or beaten by other children. If we don’t get any explanation for this matter, we can only solve this problem through the intervention of the authorities.” Chen Anwen said seriously.
After hearing her words, Teacher Lin and Teacher Wang both felt headaches. The meaning of her words was clear. If a satisfactory result cannot be given today, the Li family and the Lu family will not mind making the matter bigger and involving those officers.
If the officers were involved, the matter would not be easily resolved with just compensation or apology. Gou Dan and the other bullies may even end up detained for a few weeks in the police station for re-education, or worse, years in prison.
Lin Muai had already had enough of Gou Dan’s mother flaunting her arrogance and being rude and unreasonable due to her brother’s position in the brigade’s office. Moreover, Dong Li’s hitting them was just out of self-defense. So, the way she looked at Gou Dan and his mother was very unfriendly.
“Xiaoyi’s mother, we will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter, and we will seek justice for student Dong and student Feng.” She said solemnly.
Now that the teacher had given her a promise, Chen Anwen stopped insisting and said, “Then, we will leave this matter to the teacher. My son is frightened, so I will take him back first.”
After saying that, she turned around and said, “Jueyu, let’s take the children to see a doctor first to prevent them from having any internal injuries.”
Lu Jueyu nodded, bent down and hugged Dong Huang. After that, she looked at Dong Li and Feng Lin, and asked, “Xiao Li, Xiao Lin, can you walk on your own?”

Dong Li was not beaten so he could walk by himself. But when Dong Huang was beaten, Feng Lin used his body to protect her, so standing there actually already used up all his strength. He felt dizzy due to pain in his left shoulder.
