Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 265 - 264: You Call This a Harmful Book? The Principal Invited Me to Teach on the Spot!

Chapter 265: Chapter 264: You Call This a Harmful Book? The Principal Invited Me to Teach on the Spot!

Chen Xiaohu held the book tightly in his arms.

That colorful cloth book was his crown today.

Zheng Xiulan’s hand was suspended in mid-air.

Her face, which had been serious all her life, showed no expression.

"Give it to me."

Her voice was just like when she gave lectures in kindergarten, devoid of any warmth.

Chen Xiaohu’s body trembled slightly.

But he didn’t loosen his grip.

The book in his arms was held even tighter.

"Didn’t you hear me?"

Zheng Xiulan’s voice grew colder.

"Hand over that thing."

The surrounding children were too frightened to make a sound.

They looked at Director Zheng as if she were a tiger ready to devour them.

Xiao Hu’s lips quivered, and tears fell.

"No...won’t give..."

He shook his head stubbornly, on the verge of tears.

"This is...this is Aunt Lin’s drawing...it’s a good book..."

"A good book?"

Zheng Xiulan let out a cold laugh.

"Skipping school, is that what you call a good book?"

"I say it’s poison!"

She stopped wasting words.

She reached out, directly into Xiao Hu’s arms, and pulled hard!

The movement was swift and ruthless.

Chen Xiaohu cried out, "Waaa," heartbroken.

The cloth book he cherished so dearly was mercilessly taken away by Zheng Xiulan.

This cry.

It was like a signal.

The children who were just trembling with fear exploded instantly.

"Give back Brother Xiao Hu’s book!"

A boy in crotchless pants was the first to rush up, clinging to Zheng Xiulan’s leg, ready to bite.

"Bad person! You’re a bad person!"

"Give us back the book!"

Forty or fifty kids, like a swarm of angry bees.

"Whoosh," they surrounded her.

Crying and shouting mixed together.

They tugged at Zheng Xiulan’s pant legs, hit her on the back.

Though their strength was small, the anger over their beloved possession being taken was very real.

"Director! You can’t take our book!"

In the crowd, a dark-skinned boy squeezed out.

It was Shi Tou.

The son of the third regiment’s commander, the leader of these kids.

He spread his arms wide like a little calf, standing firmly in front of Zheng Xiulan.

"What makes you say it’s poison?"

Shi Tou held his head high, neck stiff.

"The sheep Teacher Lin drew teaches us unity! Teaches us to think!"

He pointed at the book, loudly refuting.

"Grey Wolf is so bad, but can’t defeat our Happy Sheep!"

"That’s called bravery!"

"Yes! Bravery!"

"Teacher Lin is a good person!"

"The book is a good book too!"

The kids shouted along, their voices soft but with an undeniable force.

They stopped crying.

Each one puffed out their small chests, surrounding Zheng Xiulan, like protecting their territory.

Zheng Xiulan was completely frozen.

She had been the director of the kindergarten for thirty years, overseeing thousands of kids.

Fighting, skipping school, causing trouble, what hadn’t she seen?

But never had she seen.

Never had she seen these little demon lords, for an "outsider," for a "toy," dare to confront her head-on!

Just then.

A commotion came from not far away.

"Oh my! Isn’t that Director Zheng?"

"Why are the kids surrounding her?"

It was Su Qing.

She arrived just in time with a few housewives who had just returned from the market, along with Lin Wan Yi who was following them.

Seeing this scene, all the parents were terrified out of their wits.

Attacking the kindergarten director?

If this charge were true, their men in the military would never lift their heads!

"Shi Tou! Come here to me!"

Shi Tou’s mother, a tall woman, turned pale and rushed to pull her son.

"Stop it!"

Zheng Xiulan suddenly spoke.

Her voice silenced all the chaos.

She didn’t look at the parents.

Nor did she pay attention to Shi Tou standing in front of her.

She lowered her head, looking at the book in her hand that had sparked the "war."

Under everyone’s gaze.

She did something that made everyone gasp in shock.

She pinched a corner of the book with each hand.

Forcefully.

Tore it!

"Ah!"

Su Qing screamed out loud.

That’s fabric of indeed high quality! Just torn like that?

Shi Tou panicked too, rushing to snatch it back.

"Don’t move!"

Zheng Xiulan scolded.

Under her brute force, the cloth book was pulled taut.

Yet it showed no damage at all.

Not even a crease was left.

Zheng Xiulan paused for a moment.

She switched angles.

Used force again!

Used all her strength, veins bulging on her arms.

The cloth book remained intact.

The surrounding parents were dumbfounded.

"This...this cloth...can’t be torn?"

"What kind of material is this strong?"

Lin Wan Yi stood outside the crowd, saying nothing.

She watched Zheng Xiulan’s actions.

Zheng Xiulan wasn’t finished.

She released her grip, her gaze sweeping around.

Finally, settling on a puddle of muddy water left from last night’s rain nearby.

She bent down.

Picked up the vibrant cloth book.

Without a moment’s hesitation. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Pressed it directly in!

"No!"

Dozens of children shouted in despair at once.

Su Qing’s heart bled: "Director Zheng! What are you doing! Such a nice thing!"

Zheng Xiulan ignored them.

She swirled the book in the muddy water.

Ensuring every page was covered in dirty mud.

Then, she lifted the book up.

The book that was once as beautiful as a piece of art, now filthy as a rag.

Dripping with disgusting yellow mud water.

The children’s cries filled the air again.

It was over.

Their treasure was destroyed.

Zheng Xiulan took out a snow-white handkerchief from her pocket.

Under everyone’s puzzled gaze.

She wiped the dirty book pages gently with that clean handkerchief.

A miracle.

Occurred.

The mud was wiped off.

What emerged was color still bright as new!

Red was still so red.

Grey was still so grey.

The colors hadn’t mixed even a bit, no bleeding of colors.

As if an invisible film protected them.

"My god..."

A parent couldn’t hold back, exclaiming.

"This... doesn’t fade?"

"Not fading even after mud water?"

"What kind of immortal pigments are these?"

The place fell silent.

Only the sniffles of children could be heard.

Zheng Xiulan looked at the book in her hand, then at the handkerchief stained only by mud, no trace of pigment.

She stood up straight.

She didn’t look at the children.

Nor did she care about the stupefied parents.

She held the cloth book that just endured "torture" unscathed.

Passed through the crowd.

Step by step.

Walked directly to Lin Wan Yi.

Su Qing’s heart leapt to her throat.

It’s over.

This must be to hold her accountable.

Lin Wan Yi’s face turned a bit pale, she instinctively pulled Gu An behind her.

Zheng Xiulan stopped in front of her.

That solemn face showed no sign of anger or joy.

Just when everyone thought a storm was about to strike.

Zheng Xiulan.

This stern director of the kindergarten for thirty years, who had never bowed her head to anyone.

Under the watchful eyes of all parents and children.

Held the cloth book with both hands.

Bowed deeply to Lin Wan Yi.

She straightened up.

Looking intensely at Lin Wan Yi, with unprecedented seriousness and desire.

"In the name of the Director of the Military District Kindergarten, I formally invite you!"

"Please, come be a teacher at our kindergarten!"
