“Vermin!”
“Franklin, so this vermin is your mother!” Suddenly, a girl who had just transferred to the school, pointed at Franklin’s nose and said loudly.
“You’re the vermin! My mother is not a pest!” Franklin immediately argued.
Dolly was also baffled by this sudden false accusation.
“Little friend, don’t talk nonsense oh.” She gently reminded, without a trace of complaint in her tone, the little girl instantly cried.
At once, Dolly panicked.
“Hey! What are you doing!” A strange woman with some ugly looks came over and yelled in dissatisfaction. dolly stammered with an embarrassed expression, “that, sorry, I really didn’t mean to do it.”
“Come on, don’t you bother with her! Be careful with your little life!” A woman next to her said in a gloomy voice.
Dolly looked at the people in front of her, and her face was covered with a layer of gloom.
“Do you still not know? She opened a flower store before, and then came out with a human life …”
Finally, Dolly understood, but how exactly was she going to explain to convince them that her people were innocent? Next to Franklin looked at Dolly, his eyes gradually dimmed.
This time, the parent-teacher conference should have been held by Brayden. Dolly bowed her head and gently stroked Franklin’s hair with guilt in her heart.
“Franklin, otherwise, I’ll call Dad at …”
“No!” Suddenly, Franklin interrupted her directly before the words went out and said with conviction, “Mom, it’s okay, I believe you!”
All of a sudden, Dolly’s heart was full of emotions.
In fact, Franklin had heard of this matter long before, but he had always believed that his mother would never be the kind of person with a snake’s heart.
Soon, the class meeting began. The class teacher kept introducing the arrival of important guests on the stage and looked a little excited, but after waiting for a long time, Franklin did not wait until the class teacher let Dolly up to speak, which Dolly had expected.
“Next, we’ll have a few words from Gracie’s parents in our class, so let’s have a round of applause.”
Instantly, a round of applause rang out, and Franklin lowered his head, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, so that the school could be so realistic.
“Teacher!” Suddenly, Franklin stood up directly, and all the eyes of the class looked at him in unison with a suspicious expression.
“Didn’t you say you would let my mother speak?” Franklin asked bluntly, and at once, the classroom began to talk.
“Who does he think he is, but just a little kid …”
“Forget it! Her mother just killed a man.”
People began to taunt, in a very unkind tone, and Dolly immediately tugged at the kid’s coat to try to get him to sit down.
“That, Franklin ah, today the teacher wants Gracie’s parents to speak.” The class teacher replied politely, and Franklin hung his head and sat down.
Dolly rushed to gather the child into her arms and sniffled, heartbroken.
The parent-teacher conference had ended at some point, and Dolly and Franklin were still sitting in their seats, glowering, with some gloom on their faces.
“Mom, I’m sorry.” The child suddenly looked up and apologized guiltily.
Dolly looked at the child in front of her with uncertainty, waiting for his explanation.
“I did not protect you, just now so many people are talking about you, but I am not able to defend you …” suddenly, the child cried directly.
At this time, Dolly, very heartbroken, while wiping Franklin’s tears, while comforting, “child, it’s all mom’s fault, don’t cry, let’s go home, okay?”
This is not his fault? Dolly sighed, holding back her resentment. She thought Franklin would blame her and accuse her, but she didn’t expect the boy to be so heartfelt.
“Mama Franklin!” Suddenly, the class teacher walked in, explaining helplessly, “I’m so sorry about today, I was informed of the change of plans on short notice.”
“Vermin! Vermin!” In front of the school, several kids kept circling around Dolly and Franklin, shouting, and the scene was very awkward.
“Don’t be ridiculous, you guys!” Franklin yelled at them, anxious.
And at this time, Dolly, but do not know what to do, she does not want to be bothered with these children, but these children have affected Franklin.
Finally, Franklin couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Dang!” A child was hit by him directly on the ground.
“Ah!” A scream, resounding through the clouds, Dolly then came back to her senses, rushed to pick up the child on the ground and asked worriedly, “Is everything okay?”
“Mom!” The child shouted up to the sky.
“Baby son, what’s wrong with you?” Suddenly, a woman in a gorgeous dress immediately ran over.
“Mom, he hit me!” The boy pointed at Franklin next to him and shouted in a pout.
In a flash, the woman stood up and walked toward Franklin, her eyes leaking a fierce intensity.
“Slap!” A slap landed directly on Franklin’s face, and instantly, the child’s cheeks were red. franklin raised his head and looked fiercely at the woman in front of him, his expression was grim.
“What? Your mother kills people and you’re here to beat them up?” The woman spoke nonchalantly.
Dolly immediately ran to Franklin and pulled the child behind herself, fearing that he would be bullied again, “This lady, please behave yourself!”
Dolly’s voice, mixed with a little bit of grief.
“Self-respect? Then tell me, what exactly should I do to have self-respect? What qualifications do you have to preach here, a murderer?” There was a slight disdain in the woman’s tone.
Dolly looked up at the woman in front of her, and there was a hint of pleading in her eyes.
“Madam, Franklin really shouldn’t have hit anyone, and I’m here to apologize to you for him.” With that, she bowed deeply to the woman in front of her.
“Mom!” Franklin shouted, “Why should I apologize? They were the ones who were wrong in the first place!”
Franklin, at this point, was already angry to the extreme. Dolly held his little hand tightly and shook it, signaling him not to speak, and the child immediately shut his mouth.
“You, ah, better go back and educate your son, but yes, what good children can be educated by a murderer.” The woman muttered as she walked towards her son.
“So your son is a good boy?” Suddenly, a familiar man’s voice came from behind. dolly immediately turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s right, it’s Stanley.
“Uncle Stanley,” Franklin said, his voice trembling a little as he jumped right into his arms.
Stanley gently patted the child’s back, trying to give him a little comfort, and then went back to Dolly, looking at her fondly, with a slightly different kind of affection in his eyes.
