Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 267: How Did Your Mother Raise You

However, Mayor Guo, sitting behind his desk, recognized Lin Xue’s voice.

"Xiao Xue?" He stood up at the sound, walked over, and interrupted the principal’s scolding.

"Mayor Guo, what brings you here?" Lin Xue pretended not to know and asked.

With that question, Mayor Guo, who had already heard the principal’s words, couldn’t possibly ignore that Lin Xue was involved in this fight and stood on the opposing side.

Meanwhile, a few other parents had arrived, though not all could be present. There was still farm work to be done, and it was difficult to take leave. Even for workers’ families, taking time off meant no income, and the long distance made it understandable if some couldn’t make it.

"This..." Mayor Guo was at a loss for words. Initially, it was his brother and sister-in-law causing a fuss, claiming that Meili was bullied by her classmates, prompting him to come and have a look. Unexpectedly, the bully turned out to be Comrade Xiao Xue, which left him unsure of what to say.

"He’s here to stand up for me! You country bumpkins dare to hit me, just wait to go to jail! Now that you know my uncle is the mayor, I don’t even have to waste my breath introducing myself!" Guo Meili boasted from her single bed.

"So that’s it!" Lin Xue nodded, casting a teasing glance at Mayor Guo. "So, how does Mayor Guo plan to stand up for your niece? Arbitrarily punishing us without reason, expelling us, or as she said, locking us up?"

Over the past two years, Lin Xue’s contributions had been significant. Half of Mayor Guo’s achievements were due to her, so they were already well-acquainted, and Mayor Guo considered Lin Xue almost like a daughter. There wasn’t much formality in their conversations anymore.

After Lin Xue finished speaking, Guo Meili felt even more triumphant. She lifted her chin and opened her mouth to brag, only to be interrupted by the principal.

"Lin Xue, getting into a group fight and harming others is a serious mistake. Do you not realize your mistake? How dare you speak like this to Mayor Guo?" The principal spoke scoldingly.

"Principal, is Mayor Guo here to resolve our group fight incident or simply because he’s Guo Meili’s uncle?" Lin Xue faced the principal fearlessly, knowing they were in the right and had nothing to fear.

"Of course, it’s... Why do you ask that?" The principal paused midway and glared at her.

"One, if Mayor Guo is here to resolve our group fight issue, it’s not his place to handle it. There are teachers and a principal, and even the education bureau. A mayor can’t interfere with school affairs and student fights, right? Two! If Mayor Guo is here as Guo Meili’s guardian, then I ask you, Principal, to handle this impartially. Don’t unfairly pin the blame for this fight on us just because Guo Meili’s guardian is the mayor! We won’t accept it!"

Lin Xue articulated her point to the principal clearly, then returned to her previous spot, lifting her chin confidently with no fear or anxiety.

The other girls, including Lin Xia, looked at her with starry eyes full of admiration. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

From now on, she would be their leader. No words would sway them; they would follow her no matter what.

Except for Lin Xia and Lin Yun, the other six silently chanted "Big Sister" in their hearts.

"Lin Xue, the responsibility is on you all. You broke my arm and leg and some others’ limbs. Isn’t that your responsibility?" Guo Meili shrieked shrilly. Though she hadn’t cursed, with her uncle present, she was unafraid.

The girls around her nodded in agreement.

"Fine then! Let me ask you, who brought over ten people with sticks to block our way? And who started hitting first?" Lin Xue voiced out on behalf of their group.

Lin Xia was also boiling with anger, but with the Big Sister upfront, she couldn’t speak first. If it turned into a back-and-forth argument, things could get chaotic, which might irritate the principal and Mayor Guo, ultimately preventing them from explaining.

"I did bring people to block the road, but you all can’t just break our limbs!" Guo Meili retorted angrily.

"Ha... That’s just because you all were incompetent. You came to fight but got beaten instead. Who’s to blame?" Lin Xue laughed openly and turned to Mayor Guo. "Mayor Guo, do you know why your niece led people to block our path for a fight? I bet you don’t! Let me tell you then! Your niece is harassing my sister over a guy, creating trouble multiple times! The guy clearly told her he doesn’t like her and has someone he likes, but your niece shamelessly clings to him and causes trouble for my sister! This time she goes so far as to bring sticks to fight! How shameless is that?"

After Lin Xue’s words, Mayor Guo’s face turned completely dark. When he came over, his brother and sister-in-law hadn’t told him the truth. They just said Meili was bullied, had broken arms and legs, and was in the hospital, making her sound so pitiful.

If he had known earlier that it was about fighting over a guy who didn’t even like her, he wouldn’t have come to lose face.

The principal was also stunned, finding it hard to believe. He turned to Mayor Guo, saw his dark face, and quickly tried to help Guo Meili, but she didn’t give him the chance.

"Brother Sun Bing is my guy. His mom even accepted me as her daughter-in-law. It’s that slut Lin Yun who’s shameless! She’s the one clinging to Brother Sun Bing!" Guo Meili exploded in anger, pointing at Lin Yun and cursing.

"Shut up!" Mayor Guo was completely enraged. What Xiao Xue said was entirely true, and this niece was beyond help, daring to say such disgraceful things even now.

"Uncle, they’re bullying me! Why are you still yelling at me? Sob sob..." Guo Meili was so frightened by Mayor Guo’s roar that she burst into tears.

"Mayor Guo, calm down, calm down!" The principal, at a loss, didn’t expect Mayor Guo to scold his niece instead of Lin Xue, leaving him unsure which side to take.

"How can a girl act so shamelessly? How did your mother raise you?" Mayor Guo couldn’t help but curse before turning to the principal. "Principal, could you arrange for someone to take Guo Meili back to the hospital?"

"Of course, of course! I’ll arrange it right away!" The principal, finally having something to do, quickly went to make arrangements.

"I’m not going back to the hospital! I want to see these bitches get expelled! Watch them sent to jail!" Guo Meili screamed, but with one arm and one leg broken, it was useless. In the end, she was carried off to the hospital by some students.

The rest didn’t dare to make a sound, shrinking back or sitting to the side.

They didn’t expect Mayor Guo to have no intention of helping Guo Meili, and instead scold her. So what now? Would things really turn out as that bitch Lin Xue said, with expulsions and having to pay medical bills? The more they thought about it, the more afraid they became.

On Lin Xue’s side, everyone stood behind her without saying anything, showing little fear. In comparison, the gap was obvious.
