I was invited into the lounge. Before long, Director Li came down to see me in person.
"Are you Xiaoyue? Why do you look so haggard?"
Tears welled up in my eyes, and I hugged the person in front of me.
My father and Director Li were comrades - in - arms and had a good relationship. He even took me to have a meal with her.
After my father sacrificed his life, Aunt Li led a group of people to my home to offer condolences and said she would bear my living expenses, but my mother refused.
Apart from the opportunity to go to school, my mother didn't accept any compensation from the government.
She always said that women could also hold up half the sky. She had hands and feet and could support me.
Later, Aunt Li was promoted and moved to another city. Her ability to take care of us was limited, but she sent money to us every year.
However, every time the money arrived, my mother would immediately send it back.
So Aunt Li gave me her phone number and address and told me to come to her if I had anything to do.
I told her everything that had happened at school and on the Internet in detail.
The angrier Aunt Li listened, the more she decided to take me back with her right away.
In the car, she also called the hospital to arrange the best experts to examine my mother.
As soon as the hospital heard that I was a martyr's family member, they immediately waived the fees.
After confirming that my mother's surgery was arranged, I let out a sigh of relief.
Aunt Li felt sorry for me when she saw my haggard face and tattered clothes.
After my mother came out of the intensive care unit, she couldn't help but shed tears when she saw Aunt Li.
"I've still troubled you, Li Yuan. I've already told Xiaoyue not to cause you any trouble."
Aunt Li's eyes turned red, and her voice choked with emotion:
"Sister - in - law, you should have come to me earlier. Look at you lying in the hospital bed. How can I face Jack?
"He sacrificed his life for the country. If he saw his wife being bullied like this, he'd be so anxious in heaven. On behalf of the government, I promise I'll get justice for you!"
My mother finally showed a faint smile. "Xiaoyue, it's my fault that I've dragged you down. Is it because I'm so useless that they look down on you and cause you trouble?"
Aunt Li interrupted sternly. "Sister - in - law, don't think too much. Some kids are just born evil. It has nothing to do with you or Xiaoyue."
Aunt Li led a group of people from the provincial department in a grand manner to the school.
I stood beside Aunt Li and knocked on the principal's office door.
As soon as the door opened, the principal saw me first. Thinking I was there to cause trouble, he immediately glared at me angrily:
"Emily! You still dare to bring outsiders to the school to cause trouble? You've already been expelled from the school! Security..."
"Do you know that this is causing trouble on purpose? I'll call the police right away and send you to jail!"
"I'll call the police right now. Just wait!"
A police officer behind couldn't help but say, "We are the police!"
The principal sneered. "I'm very familiar with the police. Why haven't I seen you people among the police? Impersonating the police makes your crime even worse!"
Aunt Li snorted, snatched his phone, and showed her ID in front of the principal.
The principal took the ID and examined it carefully from inside to outside. When he looked up again, his eyes were full of shock.
