Chapter 589 Only Regretted Not Having Iron Hands
Ye Shenge, at her height of 1.72 meters, felt cramped inside, let alone with the man over 1.80 meters beside her. It was like sitting on the floor, utterly uncomfortable.
The parent-teacher meeting primarily summarized what the children had learned that semester. It also touched upon the misdeeds of some naughtier students, and Ye Shenge recognized many echoes of her daughter's actions.
Ye Shenge offered a apologetic smile to the teacher, truly wishing the child's father could hear about his good daughter's exploits.
Gu Miao was attending a parent-teacher meeting for his child for the first time, sitting ramrod straight like a model student obeying the teacher.
The meeting concluded in half an hour, but Ye Shenge didn't leave. She waited until all other parents had departed before approaching the homeroom teacher standing by the door.
"Teacher Yao."
"Does Mi'er's mother have something to discuss?"
"I apologize for raising Xiao Mi'er to be too mischievous, and for troubling you as well."
"Oh, children are all like that. Mi'er is just overly lively, but she never initiates trouble. Itβs usually when others say something to her or touch her things that she gets angry."
Ye Shenge knew that the teacher wouldn't dwell too much on Xiao Mi'er's transgressions due to her status. However, she couldn't allow everyone to indulge her endlessly because of it. She took a paper from her bag and handed it to the teacher.
"Teacher Yao, this is my personal phone number. I'd like to ask if you could call me when Xiao Mi'er makes mistakes, as the people who usually pick her up don't inform me of these things."
"Well, Mi'er hasn't really done anything major."
"Yes, I just want to prevent her from making mistakes."
"Alright then. Mi'er is still young, guidance is all that's needed. But you mustn't hit her."
Ye Shenge raised an eyebrow, her voice gentle.
"So Xiao Mi'er complained to the teacher? Did she say I hit her?"
"Uh, she only said that Mom spanked her little bottom when she was disobedient, and that her bottom hurt so much she couldn't attend P.E."
Ye Shenge's smile widened. How wonderful!
"Then I'll trouble you, Teacher, to let me know about Xiao Mi'er's actions at school from now on. I'll try my best not to spank her little bottom anymore, as P.E. is mandatory."
After bidding farewell to the teacher, Ye Shenge walked slower, while Gu Miao paid close attention to the ground beneath his feet.
"Gu Miao, is Gu Ning usually very naughty and makes you angry?"
"No, uh, no. When Gu Ning makes me angry, I spank his bottom. One spanking lasts a year."
"Hahaha, then your palm must be an iron palm. I only wish I had a pair of iron hands!"
Gu Miao pursed his lips tightly. Had he said something wrong? Would Xiao Mi'er really get spanked tonight?
Xiao Mi'er had been waiting impatiently. The moment she saw her mother emerge, she pressed her face against the car window, waving. Seeing that sweet, smiling face, Ye Shenge felt an urge to both hug her and spank her soundly.
The so-called experts she had read about in her past life advocating for persuasive education for children β at this moment, she felt certain those experts must not have children. The saying "filial obedience comes from under the rod" was the true maxim!
"Mom, let's go quickly. I'm hungry."
"A Long, drive to buy hamburgers and fries. The rest of us will go back first."
"Why? Did Mom break her word?"
"Did you keep yours?"
Ye Shenge got into the car and took the nourishing tea, sipping it slowly. Xiao Mi'er lowered her head, her thoughts unclear, whether she was dwelling on her misdeeds at school or feeling sad about not getting hamburgers. For now, no one dared to comfort her.
