Chapter 1263
The other parents were convinced by the fact that the kindergarten was simply trying to raise the tuition fees.
"Didn't they claim that the beds in the dormitory for afternoon naps were broken and couldn't be used anymore?
They wanted us to pick up our children in the middle of the day. They finish school at eleven something, and all of
us would be at work at that time. We talked to them about it, and they said that they didn't have enough money to
replace the broken beds and wanted us to wait until the next semester. That solution was nonsense. As a result, we
parents had to pay an extra two hundred dollars every month. I'm sure that they're just going to do the same thing
again."
"It's only been a few months since that happened, right? How could they raise it again? The tuition fees here are
already more expensive than other places. This is ridiculous. Do they think our money grows on trees? We're paying

university?"
"We've got to bring this matter up to the authorities if they're really trying to raise the tuition fees again. It's
unacceptable for them to raise it again in just two months."
After seeing that the discussion was getting offtrack, the chubby lady quickly added, "So what if they're going to
raise the tuition fees? We all chose this kindergarten because of its location, and it offers high-quality education. We
should be willing to spend just any amount for the sake of our children. The problem now isn't the tuition fees
anymore. If this is a real land dispute and the land has to be reclaimed, it's a matter of whether our children will
have a school to attend at all."
Her words struck a chord with the parents, and they immediately became worried.
Suddenly, one of the parents said calmly, "Let’s not panic before we find out what's really happening. It's a big
matter since hundreds of children are attending this kindergarten. We shouldn't be the ones bearing the
consequences if there really is a dispute. I'm sure that someone else will take over the kindergarten. Let's stay calm
and try not to be manipulated by others."
The chubby lady in a white shirt got upset. "What do you mean manipulated? I'm just worried about our children's
education and sharing what I heard with everyone. Who cares about who this place belongs to? I'm only concerned
about whether my child can continue to attend school."
The calm parent was bewildered. ’I was just expressing my opinion. Did I say that you're manipulating us? Why are
you being so defensive?”
The chubby lady was embarrassed. "Yeah, yeah. Just forget what I said. You'll know that I'm not trying to manipulate
anyone when your children don't have a school to attend!"
The other parents began to de-escalate the situation when the discussion got heated.
"I'm pretty sure that wasn't her intention."
"We're all just concerned about our children's education. Let's not argue with each other.’

"We've got to work together when our children are really forced to leave."
After the crowd had dispersed, the chubby lady called someone.
The police only left the kindergarten after a little over an hour.
On the same afternoon, the school suddenly posted a message in the parents' group chat, stating that the
kindergarten would need to suspend its classes for some time due to some unforeseen circumstances.
The group chat was flooded with messages as soon as that statement was sent.
Everyone started asking what happened, why they had to suspend classes out of the blue, and when would the
classes resume.
The teachers evaded the questions and only told the parents to wait for further announcements.
"Wait for further announcements" was the last thing the parents wanted to hear. They had no idea if they should
wait for the announcement about classes resuming or the kindergarten getting shut down.
