36 Parents watching their children die (1/2)

Since Ren Xiaosu had explicitly told them to come back, would the students dare to disobey him?

The students had gone home and complained about Ren Xiaosu's misdeeds to their parents, but their parents' reactions were all identical. ”It's good that the teacher is teaching you more things. You should be grateful for it rather than complain, understand? You mustn't complain, especially not to your substitute teacher.”

The students could not understand this. In the past, the parents would side with them. But this time, they were all siding with Ren Xiaosu?

Furthermore, why did their parents' tone sound a little strange?

The students felt that there was something wrong with their parents' tone, so they kept at it and continued complaining. Li Youqian's father, Li Facai, said in a heartfelt manner to her, ”Stop asking, dearie, and concentrate on your studies. You mustn't trouble your teacher, Ren Xiaosu, anymore, understand? Dad doesn't want you to leave this world before he does.”

The strapping girl, Li Youqian, was shocked when she heard that. What did her father mean by ”Dad doesn't want you to leave this world before he does”?!

Hence, the students now behaved exceptionally well in front of Ren Xiaosu. The moment he called them back, the students all rushed back to their seats like scared fledglings.

Once he started teaching again, he lectured until it turned dark.

As the sky darkened, the students stared blankly at Ren Xiaosu as he got more and more enthusiastic with his teaching. Finally, Li Youqian could no longer stand it. She said meekly, ”Teacher, it's getting dark. It won't be safe for us if we don't go home now.”

When the students previously said something similar, Ren Xiaosu would dismiss the class immediately. As such, when Li Youqian finished saying that, all the students looked at Ren Xiaosu in anticipation.

However, Ren Xiaosu said kindly, ”Don't worry, y'all'll be fine.”

On this day, Ren Xiaosu lectured all the way until 8 PM before he finally dismissed the class. Night had fallen by this point. Ren Xiaosu did not receive any gratitude tokens at the end of the lesson, but he did not mind.

The ”Stockholm Syndrome effect” said that if there was no cruelty, how could there be gratitude?

”Let's go, Teacher will send all of you home,” Ren Xiaosu said even more kindly.

The students looked at one another. They suddenly felt that the substitute teacher, Ren Xiaosu, seemed to possess some kind of remarkable skill.

In the past, Ren Xiaosu would definitely let the students return home before the sky darkened because it wouldn't be safe if they went back home any later than that.

But this time, Ren Xiaosu didn't find it much of an issue to waste a bit of time, as long as the students could learn something useful! They had to understand how cruel society could be!

Although it might be a little unsafe for ordinary people to lead a large group of children, it was not so for Ren Xiaosu. He was nearly twice as strong as the average adult in town, so the issue of safety was negligible.

As long as someone didn't have a gun, Ren Xiaosu had nothing to be afraid of.

Ren Xiaosu personally handed the students over to their parents one by one in order of the distance they lived from school. When some of the neighbors saw Ren Xiaosu sparing no effort to impart knowledge to the students and even sending them home personally for their safety, they felt that he was a great teacher!

The parents did not know why Ren Xiaosu was doing this and simply considered him a kind and generous person. Thus, just this act of sending the students home had earned Ren Xiaosu six gratitudes from the parents.

Ren Xiaosu felt that he had not fully taken the initiative before. After working so hard to heal people and save their lives, he had only received 12 gratitude tokens. But ever since changing his mindset and way of doing things, his gratitude tokens shot up to 50.

And the only price to pay was that Yan Liuyuan refused to talk to him for the entire night...

To be honest, the total duration of the daytime classes was only about five hours. Before Ren Xiaosu took over as the substitute teacher, the students could never have expected that the survival lesson would last for a full five hours!

The next day, Ren Xiaosu could not wait to go to school. However, the schoolteacher, Mr. Zhang Jinglin, was the first to voice his opinion. He pulled Ren Xiaosu aside and said, ”In the future, you mustn't dismiss the class so late. There should be a proper balance between work and rest when it comes to learning, and it has to be done gradually as well. Even if you want to impart unto them all your knowledge, you still have to do it slowly!”

Ren Xiaosu humbly accepted Zhang Jinglin's suggestion. ”Teacher, you can rest assured that I will definitely not make the class stay late today.”
