Teacher Zhao came in, and it turned out that he was pouring water for us. I put the hot water handed by Mr. Zhao in front of Wang Mai, indicating that Wang Mai can drink water, but Wang Mai was unmoved, as if he was the most realistic wax figure of a human body, and he couldn't speak.
Seeing our helplessness, Teacher Zhao said: "This kid Wang Mai, he won't talk to you when you ask him anything. He won't pay attention to you. It's useless."
I looked at Teacher Zhao and said, "Have you informed Wang Mai's parents about this?"
"No." Teacher Zhao said.
I nodded and said, "In this way, let his parents come over. We need to let the parents know about this kind of thing."
While talking, I looked at Wang Mai's reaction and wanted to see whether Wang Mai wanted his parents to come or didn't want his parents to come. If Wang Mai didn't want his parents to come, then he would always stop him. But after waiting for a while, Wang Mai still stared at us blankly, but didn't speak at all, as if he was performing a mime.
Teacher Zhao sighed and said, "This child is like this, it's useless."
I frowned and said, "Go and call, the two of us will talk to this child."
Teacher Zhao glanced at me, nodded awkwardly, and walked out.
Although Teacher Zhao told about Wang Mai being bullied, it seemed to let go of the torment and burden in his heart, but Teacher Zhao still did not understand who was the culprit who caused Wang Mai to be like this. She may think that she is kind to Wang Mai, but is that kind of kindness really good to others
Teacher Zhao is more for his own vanity, thinking that he is being kind to Wang Mai, but he never knows what kind of help Wang Mai needs. When Wang Mai can't meet his expectations, Just to attack Wang Mai verbally, to put it bluntly, she did this just to satisfy her twisted moral vanity.
If Mr. Zhao could guide Wang Mai when he was stuttering instead of being harsh, maybe everything would be different.
But now Wang Mai doesn't say a word, it seems that he has become a deaf-mute.
I gently said to Wang Mai: "Wang Mai, you don't have to worry, you speak slowly, we listen slowly, you have to know that we are here to help you, you have to trust us."
But Wang Mai still didn't say anything, and at this time, the bell for class had already rang.
Wang Mai heard the bell for class, but he didn't indicate that he was going back to class or what he was going to do, and he still sat silently.
"Then you sit here for a while, let's talk to your homeroom teacher and substitute teacher that you won't be going to this class."
Gu Chen and I came out, and as soon as the door was closed, Gu Chen scratched his head and said, "I can't kick three farts with this kick, it's really too embarrassing, it's really tormented."
I was also a little helpless, and said: "He didn't develop his appearance in a day or two. He could still stutter, but after being ridiculed by the teacher and classmates, he doesn't even speak now. Think about it, How can I make this Wang Mai speak."
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't understand these things, why don't you let me fight some gangsters."
I shrugged helplessly.
For the next hour or so, no matter what we say or do, this Wang Mai is always silent, not saying a word. I have never seen it with my own eyes before. It turns out that a person can really hold back for such a long time. say.
At this time, the sound of the door opening was heard.
What caught our eyes was a middle-aged couple who looked to be in their forties. This couple had dark skin and many wrinkles on their faces. It could be seen from the calluses on their hands that they were People who work all year round. No matter from the clothes worn by men or women, it can be seen that they are dirty. The two people are wearing rubber shoes, and the shoes are full of mud. When they saw us, the two of them were very restrained, not knowing whether to walk in or stand where they were.
Judging from the behavior of these two people, these two people should be typical farmers who work in agriculture.
Both of them had sullen faces, and neither was their hands in their pockets or beside them, which looked very awkward.
I looked at the two people, stood up, moved two chairs and placed them next to Wang Mai, and signaled them to sit down. Wang Mai still didn't respond at the moment, his mother sat beside him, hugging him gently.
I looked at Wang Mai's parents, sighed and said, "I came to you this time to talk about your children."
"Did my son get into trouble?" The man said in a strong dialect: "If so, you beat him to death. It's okay, you beat him to death."
I shook my head and said, "Calm down your emotions, Wang Mai has always performed well in school, he did nothing wrong."
The man scolded, but when he saw my frown, the man hurriedly said: "I'm not scolding you, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about my kid, I worked so hard to pay him to go to school, and every time he failed his grades, he Be good, you don't need to comfort me."
As far as Wang Mai's state of class and living state in the campus are concerned, it is hell to be able to study well.
I said: "Maybe you don't know about Wang Mai's situation at school. Classmate Wang Mai is often abused by others at school. You may not know about this matter, but you can understand it when you look at the wounds on his body. "
But what the man said next was far beyond my expectations.
The man said, "I know."
I frowned, and couldn't believe my ears: "You said you knew, you knew that your son was burned with cigarette butts? You knew that he was always bullied by others at school."
The woman hugged her child without saying a word, and the man said: "I know, but what can I do? Who will let my son not live up to it? Why don't people bully others, just bully him, then he It must have been done poorly, and more than one thing is worse than one less thing, I just don’t live up to it, teachers and students don’t want to see him.”
I was very angry when I heard the man's words. If even the father of a child can say such things, I can understand why Wang Mai bears this matter alone every day. Perhaps in Wang Mai's heart, he thought that he might be a fool, a hopeless person.
Wang Mai still didn't respond, as if the heart of an eleven-year-old boy had long been numb.
The child's mother hugged the child tightly, with tears in her eyes: "We know it too, but there is nothing we can do about it."
I said: "The reason why your child is being bullied is not because of his poor academic performance. On the contrary, it is because he is being bullied by others that his grades are not good. Don't reverse the cause and effect. And you know this Things, why don't you come to the school, just forget about it?"
The woman said: "I also feel sorry for my son, but what should we do?"
I was a little angry and said, "What should I do? I don't know how to contact the teacher or the school? I don't know how to call the police?"
Seeing that I was a little angry, the woman lowered her head and dared not speak.
The man also said cautiously: "This teacher."
"I'm not a teacher." I said, "I'm here to investigate your son."
The man was a little nervous, and said: "We didn't call the police, why are you here, and you still want to investigate my son, but we didn't do anything. It's all children's play, don't take it seriously, Parents of other children want to ask me, but I didn’t call the police. We don’t call the police, it’s no big deal.”
The woman beside her also desperately echoed: "That's right, let's just pretend that this never happened."
The two people in front of them said nothing and did not want to intervene. I don't understand why, why they reject it so strongly, why they are so scared.
"What are you afraid of?" I asked helplessly, "Will I eat you?"
The woman said: "We have no money, and we don't want to mess with these things, we just want to live a normal life, please, don't worry about this matter."
"We are here to help you." I said helplessly.
The man said: "We really can't afford it. Our family is poor and we don't have the money to sue others. We don't want to cause trouble. The matter is over and it's over. It's normal for this child to fight and fight. Just want to live."
After listening to these words, I felt really helpless in my heart, feeling powerless like punching the air with my fist. Obviously we are here to help them, but in their eyes, it is trouble, and if they get into trouble, they will definitely spend money. Maybe poverty is really an original sin, just like a net that cannot be seen in life .
When these poor people face the world, the first thing they think of is not to protect their rights, not to be fair and justice, but to retreat instinctively, afraid of spending money, and instinctively afraid of anything that will cause trouble. So even if you know that your child is being bullied and your child is not doing well in school, you don't want to help your child.
Instinctive fear and avoidance, instinctive reluctance to cause trouble are the first bottom line in their hearts, and living an ordinary and repetitive life is their foundation. And everything else must be compromised for this bottom line.
In their eyes, no matter what other people do, it seems to be their fault, and when they are bullied by others, they will only resent themselves for their incompetence.
What can I say other than pathetic.
The two people were still begging us not to investigate. While talking, the man suddenly stood up, took a bench and smashed it on Wang Mai's body. He said: "I know you will cause trouble for me every day. See if I don't beat you to death today. You Just know how to cause trouble, you bastard."
As soon as he got down on the stool, the leg of the stool hit Wang Mai's nose, and the nosebleed instantly flowed down, spilling over the entire desk.
"Stop!" Gu Chen couldn't help it anymore at this time, he grabbed the man with one hand, grabbed the stool with the other and threw it aside, making a "clang".
And looking at this man again, in Gu Chen's hands, he looks like a little chicken.
