"I believe that most people know in their hearts whether they have misunderstood Gu Rong or not. I don't want to say more. I just hope that everyone can open their eyes and distinguish right from wrong in the future, and not kill someone with one blow before finding out the truth of the matter."

Liu Changlong's tone was a little heavy, and the crowd was silent for a moment.

Suddenly, several voices were heard, still unconvinced. "Who can be blamed for this? It's Gu Rong's fault for not explaining himself at the time!"

"Yes, Gu Rong is dumb but not stupid. Why didn't he tell us that the bacon was given by someone else? Of course we misunderstood!"

"That kid has a weird personality to begin with. He has a gloomy face all day long at such a young age. He deserves to be wrongly accused!"

Seeing that each villager was talking, they actually blamed Gu Rong himself, and implicitly said that he "had it all his own way".

Gu Rong's face gradually became gloomy, and he sneered in his heart.

At this time, an angry little voice sounded: "Brother Gu Rong can't even speak, how can he explain? And you guys don't want to listen to his explanation at all. As soon as Zheng Dahu said that Brother Gu Rong was a thief, you believed it and rushed to Brother Gu Rong's house to arrest him!

It is obvious that you are prejudiced against Brother Gu Rong. You believe the bad things his uncle and aunt said about him, and you think from the bottom of your heart that Brother Gu Rong is not a good child, so you are like this!"

Pei Tiantian's accusation made many people look embarrassed.

They really thought so. Zhang Guifen and Gu Yongfu had always told everyone that Gu Rong was an ungrateful person, saying that they had spent so much money but he didn't know how to be grateful.

So when they looked at Gu Rong, they couldn't help but put on tinted glasses.

Gu Rong looked at the little kid with puffed cheeks standing in front of him with complicated eyes.

Her grape-like eyes were filled with anger, and she seemed to feel unfair for him.

Gu Rong couldn't tell how he felt.

He suddenly felt that all the grievances he had suffered seemed to disappear in an instant.

What those insignificant people think or say is no longer important.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Pei Tiantian took advantage of the situation and continued, "Zheng Dahu stole the bacon himself. He deliberately let Brother Gu Rong take the blame. Brother Gu Rong was the most innocent one from the beginning to the end!"

As soon as the words fell, the villagers were all shocked.

They didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns here.

Zheng Dahu is only ten years old, but he is so scheming at such a young age.

The man who had just proposed donating money to Zheng Dahu was the first to say "Puh, it's true that the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked. The father and son of the Zheng family are not good people. It's their own fault that they are disabled. I won't donate the money!"

"I won't donate either. Anyway, Zheng Tianfu's eldest sister is from the city and has a lot of money!"

"We shouldn't donate to anyone but them. They are playing the thief crying thief and making a fool of us. If it weren't for that brat Zheng Dahu, we wouldn't have wronged that kid Gu Rong!"

A group of people started chattering again, and their expressions changed very quickly, as if the group of people who had just blamed Gu Rong for not explaining were not them at all.

Liu Changlong felt a headache after listening to this. He waved his hand and said "dismiss", and then the villagers left one after another.

Tao Jing reached out and pinched Pei Tiantian's chubby face, "Our Tiantian was so impressive just now, she made them all speechless!"

Pei Tiantian raised her eyebrows proudly when she heard this, and the two little tufts on her head also swayed proudly, "Brother Gu Rong is innocent, he shouldn't be wronged like this!"

The bad reputation of the villain in the village is so deeply rooted in people's hearts, not only because of Gu Yongfu and Zhang Guifen's deliberate smear campaign, but also because of some villagers who like to gossip behind his back and add fuel to the fire.

Pei Tiantian can't stand these people the most.

Instead of taking the time to slander an eight-year-old child, they might as well work hard and get rich soon.

"Tiantian is such a eloquent girl at such a young age. She will definitely have great potential in the future."

Liu Changlong had a smile on his face and looked at Pei Tiantian with some admiration in his eyes.

"Thank you for the compliment, Captain!"

Pei Tiantian blinked her grape eyes and spoke in a baby voice.

Liu Changlong touched her little head with a smile, looked at Tao Jing, and asked, "Teacher Tao, I heard from them that you actually teach at the No. 1 Middle School in the city?"

Liu Changlong was a little confused.

After all, No. 1 Middle School is the strongest middle school in Yu City, and the teachers are well paid. Why did Tao Jing think of teaching here?

Tao Jing smiled, seeing his curiosity, and said calmly: "After I taught the senior class that graduated last year, I accidentally discovered that many children in poor areas dropped out of school early because of poor educational conditions. The dropout rate is especially high here, so I came to teach in the primary school in your town."

Liu Changlong understood and felt more respect for Tao Jing.

According to the regulations of Yu City, teachers like Tao Jing who are employed in the city will face many restrictions if they choose to teach in townships. I think this is why Tao Jing returned to the city after only teaching for three months.

However, in the past, only rural teachers were scrambling to be transferred to the city. Unexpectedly, there were also city teachers like Tao Jing who tried to find ways to teach in rural towns. Such behavior was indeed somewhat unusual.

Liu Changlong sighed deeply. It seemed that Teacher Tao was a people's teacher with a real heart.

He suddenly thought of something. "Last year, the top student in the science class of No. 1 Middle School scored 700 points. I think his name was He Canming. That caused quite a stir!"

Nowadays, high school science exams have seven subjects with a total score of 710 points. Students who can score 700 points are rare across the country, let alone in a small city like Yu City.

The sudden emergence of such an outstanding high school student made He Canming an instant household name in Yu City.

"Yes, Chanming is my student."

Tao Jing's eyes softened for a moment when she said this. "He is a smart kid."

Liu Changlong was really shocked. "Teacher Tao! So you are He Canming's homeroom teacher? You are amazing to be able to teach such a student!"

Tao Jing said modestly: "This is all the credit of the students themselves. We teachers are just guiding them."

Liu Changlong began to look at Tao Jing with a different eye.

Since Tao Jing can be He Canming's homeroom teacher, doesn't that mean she teaches the best science class in No. 1 Middle School?

Being assigned to teach in the best class at such a young age, Tao Jing must have extraordinary teaching ability. Thinking of this, Liu Changlong hurriedly asked, "Teacher Tao, I have a nephew who also studies science, and he is a little biased in his studies..."

Pei Tiantian listened silently to the conversation between Liu Changlong and Tao Jing.

Her two short legs were kicking the pebbles on the ground out of boredom. Suddenly, she frowned and her eyes changed.

He Canming?

Why does this name sound so familiar?
