"They just got a demerit? What about the kids who bullied Xiao Yu?" Xue Yue asked.
Mrs. He said, "It was just two kids. Their parents were called in, and they both gave their kids a beating and a stern warning. What else could be done? We can't have the school expel them. As for the teacher, she said she was afraid the parents would cause a scene, so she just wanted to smooth things over. But your father and I went to see the principal, and we've already had that teacher transferred to another class."
Xue Yue frowned. "Did they apologize to Xiao Yu?"
Mrs. He paused. "Oh, that never even occurred to us. But the teacher said our own child is part of the problem. Everyone thought Xiao Yu was a mute."
Xue Yue was surprised. "A mute? What happened?"
