Chapter 288 That makes sense

Li Xiangqian held her hand and said firmly, "Lili was bullied at school. I have to go pick her up right away. Xiao'e, come with me."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, "Of course, I will go with you."

The two quickly rushed to the school, and Li Xiangqian was filled with anger and worry. He kept thinking about what kind of situation had caused his sister to be wronged. When they arrived at the school, they saw Li Lili in the teacher's office. She was sitting in the corner, with her head down and tears in her eyes.

"Lili!" Li Xiangqian called out distressedly, walked quickly to her side and hugged her gently.

When Li Lili saw her brother, she couldn't help but burst into tears, "Brother, I... I'm so sad."

Li Xiangqian felt a pang of heartache. He stroked his sister's hair and comforted her softly, "Lili, don't be afraid. Brother is here. Tell me what happened."

Li Lili sobbed and said, "Some classmates always laughed at me, saying I was a country bumpkin, and threw my schoolbag into the pool. When I went to get it, I fell down."

Hearing this, Li Xiangqian's anger flared up again, but he tried to control his emotions and said softly: "Lili, these classmates are ignorant, we won't let them do this to you."

Lou Xiao'e also stepped forward, held Li Lili's hand, and said gently: "Lili, we will protect you. Those who bully you will be punished accordingly."

The teacher sighed and said, "Mr. Li, Ms. Li, we will handle this matter and make sure it doesn't happen again. But Lili needs time to adjust her emotions."

Li nodded forward, "Thank you, teacher. I will take Lili home and let her rest at home for a few days."

On the way home, Li Lili snuggled in Li Xiangqian's arms and felt the long-lost sense of security. Li Xiangqian secretly vowed in his heart that he must protect his sister and never let her suffer any grievances again.

Back at the courtyard, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e sat with Li Lili in the living room and poured her a cup of hot milk. Li Xiangqian said softly, "Lili, you should stay at home these few days and have a good rest. Don't worry about school."

Li Lili nodded, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes, "Brother, Sister Lou, thank you. I will be strong."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Lili, we believe in you. You are a strong girl and you will definitely overcome these difficulties."

Late at night, Li Lili fell asleep in the company of Lou Xiao'e, and Li Xiangqian sat in the study, thinking about how to deal with this matter. He knew that simple comfort could not solve the problem, and he had to take action to ensure his sister's safety and dignity at school.

The next morning, Li Xiangqian went to the school, found the head teacher and the principal, learned the details of what happened, and asked the school to take measures to protect Li Lili's rights. The principal said that the matter would be dealt with seriously and promised that similar incidents would not happen again.

After returning home, Li Xiangqian saw Li Lili chatting with Lou Xiaoe in the yard, and felt relieved. He walked over and said with a smile: "Lili, the school has promised to deal with those students, you can rest assured."

Li Lili raised her head, her eyes flashing with gratitude and strength, "Brother, I will try my best not to let you down."

Li Xiangqian touched her head and felt that his sister had become stronger after this incident. He knew that this was just a small episode in the road of growth, and their family would always support each other and face future challenges together.

Li Xiangqian sighed: "Xiao'e, life is always full of challenges, but I believe that as long as our family sticks together, we can overcome any difficulties."

Lou Xiao'e snuggled in his arms and whispered, "Go forward, I believe in you. No matter what happens, we will face it together."

The next day, Li Xiangqian thought for a long time and decided to go to Xu Damao, a parent who was quite influential in the school, and have a good talk with him. Xu Damao's son was one of the students who bullied Li Lili. Li Xiangqian hoped that through this conversation, he could solve the problem and prevent similar things from happening again.

Li Xiangqian stood at the door of Xu Damao's house for a while, thinking about how to start the conversation. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The door was soon opened, and Xu Damao looked at Li Xiangqian with a puzzled look on his face.

"Li Xiangqian? Is there something wrong so early in the morning?" Xu Damao asked in a lukewarm tone.

Li Xiangqian tried to stay calm and said with a smile: "Xu Damao, I came here today to talk to you about your son and his behavior towards my sister at school."

Xu Damao frowned slightly, "What happened to my son?"

Li Xiangqian looked directly into Xu Damao's eyes and said firmly, "Your son and several classmates bullied my sister, threw her schoolbag into the pool, and verbally insulted her. This incident caused her great harm. I hope we can have a good talk and solve this problem."

Xu Damao looked a little unhappy after hearing this. "Li Xiangqian, are you mistaken? My son would never do such a thing."

Li Xiangqian felt helpless and angry, but he tried to suppress his emotions and continued, "Xu Damao, I am not wrong. This is the fact, and the school teacher has confirmed it. I am not here to blame you today, but I hope we can find a way to solve the problem."

Xu Damao was silent for a moment, as if thinking about what Li Xiangqian said. He glanced at Li Xiangqian and softened his tone a little, "Okay, come in and talk, we'll have a good talk."

Li Xiangqian walked into Xu Damao's home and the two sat in the living room. Xu Damao poured two cups of tea and handed them to Li Xiangqian, "Li Xiangqian, I know you are a reasonable person. You came to see me today, and I am willing to listen to your ideas."

Li Xiangqian took the tea and nodded. "Xu Damao, thank you for your understanding. I hope we can teach our children to respect and love each other, and not to hurt others because of trivial matters. Lili is a very strong child, but she also has a fragile side. As a brother, I can't bear to see her being wronged."

Xu Damao nodded and sighed, "I understand. What you said makes sense. I will have a good talk with my son and teach him not to do such things again."

Li Xiangqian felt relieved. "Thank you, Xu Damao. I will continue to communicate with Lili and help her get out of the shadow."

Xu Damao patted Li Xiangqian on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Li Xiangqian, you are a good brother. I believe this incident will help the children grow up and understand what is the right behavior."

The two chatted for a while and discussed specific ways to teach children to respect others and get along with each other in a friendly manner. Li Xiangqian felt that this conversation was very constructive and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
