Chapter 110: Learning Real Skills Through Watching the Drama
Chapter 110
Since Song Ying's death had nothing to do with Xu General, why would he bury her on the mountain behind the school?
If there was no grudge, then one could consider other possibilities, such as gratitude or other positive emotions.
The group recalled Shi Li's tone during the physical education class, saying that Xu General had paid a hefty sum to purchase this plot of land from the school.
If he had paid a large amount of money for the land just to bury Song Ying, it proved that she was very important to him.
Thinking back to what Shi Li had once said, Song Ying's parents must have been very remarkable people.
An answer began to form in everyone's minds, seemingly on the verge of revelation.
Even if Xu Xing wasn't Song Ying's father, he must have had intricate connections with her, possibly being a senior relative.
Song Ying's jacket was draped over the bullied girl's shoulders, and she was confused by the sudden silence of the crowd.
She had her own concerns. Faced with strangers offering to call the police for her, she hesitated. She felt that although she was being bullied, teachers and outsiders would see it as mere squabbles between students. Even if brought to the police, they wouldn't take it seriously, at most offering a few words of criticism and education.
Those demons, however, would hold a grudge against her for it, bullying her more viciously in the future.
Just facing the current situation was enough to make her shudder.
So she mustered up the courage to speak to Song Ying, who looked the kindest, "Thank you for stepping in, but I don't want to call the police. If I do, I'll offend them."
Song Ying was puzzled, "Are they beating, scolding, and humiliating you now because you've offended them before?"
It was hard to imagine how much malice those villains harbored towards their own gender. The early April night in the north was not warm, yet they tore open their female classmate's clothes, slapped her face, and forced her to do many things that insulted her dignity.
What they had seen was just the tip of the iceberg; there might have been even worse behavior that they hadn't witnessed.
Song Ying's question made the victimized girl fall silent. In truth, she didn't understand why these people always bullied her. Even in a vocational high school, there were different types of students. Some were self-destructive, while others intended to study hard and learn a skill.
She wasn't the same type as those bad girls. Apart from attending classes in the same room, they didn't have much interaction, yet she was inexplicably targeted by them.
It started with intentional bumps, then escalated to cornering her in the girls' bathroom to pinch and hit her. Now, even outside of school, if they happened to encounter her on the street, they would drag her into a corner to bully her, just like today.
Song Ying couldn't understand this girl's psychology. She became somewhat agitated, "Only by letting those punks know that you're not easy to bully will they back off and not dare to bully you anymore. Otherwise, they'll keep bullying you like they did today."
This was the first time since meeting Song Ying that she had shown such agitation and aggression.
It was a stark contrast to the little white rabbit everyone knew before, and people couldn't help but glance at her.
Shi Li could understand why the victim was unwilling to call the police.
She pulled Song Ying's arm, "This young lady's concerns aren't unfounded. There are indeed many police officers in society who are good at smoothing things over, and those thugs are still minors, so even if we call the police, they can't be punished."
Shi Li said to the victimized girl, "Have you considered telling your parents about being bullied at school? People are always afraid of the tough ones. If you let a burly relative from your family help you stand up and intimidate them, letting them know you're not to be messed with, they won't dare to bully you in the future."
The girl shook her head, "I live with my grandmother. My mom works abroad, and I don't have any other relatives."
Song Ying couldn't help but snort, "Your method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. If those bad girls don't bully this young lady, they'll just bully other female classmates."
Shi Li couldn't help but glance at Song Ying. She was right, but everyone was thinking about the present, about preventing this victim from being bullied again. Who could think about whether there would be other victims of bullying in the future?
Unless all the perpetrators were gone for good.
A classmate couldn't help but speak up, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. I think the only way is for this young lady to become tough herself, to bravely say no to bullying. Keep a knife on you, and the next time they hit you, take it out. It's called self-defense, and you're still a minor, so you'll definitely be found not guilty in the end."
Shi Li felt that this suggestion sounded oddly familiar.
[So this is the experience gained from witnessing the Pei Nuo Castration Case?]
Song Ying: So what kind of case is this?
Song Ying quickly remembered. Wasn't Pei Nuo that popular young actress? She had cut off her husband's "tool of crime" earlier in the year. While surfing the internet, she had followed the developments of that case for quite a while.
Hearing Shi Li's tone, Song Ying felt as if the fourth wall had been broken. So, were you all at the crime scene at that time?
Others: I told you that following gossip can teach you real skills!
