Su's mother was trembling with rage, pointing a shaky finger at Guo Yan, "You... You..."
"What about me? Comrade Su, this is the compound, not our old rural homes. Here, the older comrades can't bully others with age. We look the other way, out of respect."
Guo Yan showed no signs of backing down, continuing, "If my Zhonghua were involved, I would have beaten him myself, just like you did to Su Ping yesterday. But Xibao is not my child, his father is stationed at the toughest and most harsh border region. His grandfather sold off all he had to support the national construction, his mother, heavily pregnant, came to the Capital to teach first aid... his complete family striving for the national cause. If I let you beat him today, I would not have the face to meet his parents. I'd rather go hang myself in your home! Not only as a token of apology for your child getting beaten up but also to theirs!"
At these words, everyone gasped in shock.
