The schoolhouse entrance fell silent for a moment.
Xu Wencong snapped back to reality and immediately lunged forward, grabbing Zhang Xiaoying's legs and bursting into tears. "Grandma, you're finally here. My parents won't let me study. They insist on my going home. You must stand up for me, wuwuwu, I want to study..."
Zhang Xiaoying slowly pried Xu Wencong's hands off and looked down at him, speaking seriously and with clear enunciation, "You're wrong. It was I who told your parents to take you back home, so you no longer attend the school!"
Upon seeing Zhang Xiaoying arrive, Xu Changsheng and Madam Lin were immediately filled with a sense of grievance.
"Mother..."
"Move back, acting so bold at home, but when you're out, you let others push you around?"
Zhang Xiaoying's face showed disdain.
Xu Wencong couldn't believe his ears. "Grandma, have you lost your mind? If I don't study, who will make you rich and let you lead a good life?"
