Chapter 114

Zheng Hongxing punched Shen Jiayi hard on the back. He had been fighting since he was a kid, and even kids a few years older than him couldn't beat him, let alone Shen Jiayi. Shen Jiayi was knocked to the ground, her knees scraped, and her head bruised.

Zheng Hongxing angrily warned Shen Jiayi: "If you dare to bully my sister again, I will beat you to death. Do you hear me?"

Shen Jiayi burst into tears. Shen Jiahao just came out of the toilet. Seeing Shen Jiayi being beaten, he rushed over and started fighting with Zheng Hongxing: "Zheng Hongxing, you dare to hit my sister, I will beat you to death!"

"Zheng Xiangyang, Zheng Xiangyang, your brother got into a fight with someone, Shen Jiahao went to beat your brother!"

Zheng Xiangyang was reading a book when someone came to tell him about this. Zheng Xiangyang was so angry that he closed the book and cursed: "I've told you so many times not to fight, but you just won't listen."

Although he said that, when he heard Zheng Hongxing was beaten, he quickly walked out. When he walked out, he took off his new sweater. This was the sweater his mother had just knitted for him, and he couldn't let it be damaged.

Zheng Xiangyang is about the same age as Shen Jiahao, but he doesn't usually fight. His fighting skills are average, but he is more than enough to fight Shen Jiahao together with Zheng Hongxing. Zheng Xiangyang and Shen Jiahao are now in the same class. Zheng Xiangyang's grades have always been the first or second in the class, while Shen Jiahao is the last.

Zheng Xiangyang pressed on Shen Jiahao. Zheng Hongxing punched Shen Jiahao in the face several times, but was stopped by Zheng Xiangyang: "Still hitting him? When the principal sees the wound on his face, you want to be punished, right? If you want to be punished, don't drag me down."

Zheng Hongxing let out an "oh", quickly retracted his fist, and punched Shen Jiahao in the stomach a few more times.

Zheng Xiangyang glared: "You don't want to listen anymore, right?"

Zheng Hongxing: "Hit the stomach, the principal can't see it."

Zheng Xiangyang: “…” What he said made sense. His brother usually looked stupid, but he didn’t expect that he was quite smart in this aspect.

Zheng Xiangyang: "Shen Jiahao, why did you hit my brother?"

Shen Jiahao pouted: "First ask your brother why he beat my sister!"

Zheng Hongxing wiped the saliva off his face and spat directly at Shen Jiahao's face: "Bah, it was your sister who hit my sister Yueyue first, everyone saw it, right!"

"Yes, we all saw it!"

At this time, the news of their fight reached the principal's ears. The principal hurried to find out what happened. Shen Jiaping took the opportunity to say a few words to Xiao Qingming.

After Zheng Hongxing finished speaking, Xiao Qingming quickly added: "Last time, she grabbed sister Yueyue's hair. She grabbed such a big handful that sister Yueyue cried in pain. She always bullies sister Yueyue."

Yueyue was a little stunned. It seemed that Shen Jiayi had grabbed her hair last time, but it seemed that only a few strands were grabbed, not as many as Brother Qingming said...

But when she looked at the principal, and then at Brother Hongxing and Brother Xiangyang who were punished to stand, her face wrinkled into a ball, and she burst into tears.

Seeing her crying so sadly, the principal quickly picked her up and coaxed her: "Okay, okay, Yueyue, be good, don't cry anymore."

In addition, there are so many people who testified that it was Shen Jiayi who pushed Yueyue first, and Shen Jiayi's usual behavior is also very worrying. This little girl is only seven or eight years old, but she is particularly fond of beauty and often says that she wants to be a big star when she grows up. There is also a mirror in the desk, and she takes it out from time to time to look at it. What kind of person is this!

The teacher in Shen Jiayi's class, and even the principal, had discussed this matter with Lin Hui. They felt that it was not a good behavior for a child of such age to be so obsessed with beauty.

But Lin Hui disagrees, and even says that her daughter Shen Jiayi will become a big star in the future, and what's wrong with a woman loving beauty?

The principal's explanation really doesn't make sense. Since the parents don't care, the teachers will be too lazy to care about this matter.

Although Shen Jiayi was wrong this time, both Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiahao were injured. One of the siblings had a black eye, the other had messy hair, and a bleeding knee. The principal gave ideological education to the four people who were involved in the fight and warned them not to fight again.

"Shen Jiayi, Shen Jiahao, when will you two learn from your brother Shen Jiaping? Shen Jiaping's grades are so good, he always gets first place in the exams, and you two always rank last. You still act like older brothers and sisters, but one of you only knows how to fight, and the other only knows how to be beautiful."

Zheng Hongxing nodded and agreed, "That's right."

The principal immediately started to criticize him: "Zheng Hongxing, do you think I wouldn't have criticized you if you hadn't initiated the trouble this time? Your teacher has said that you are like a cow, and you won't move unless you are whipped. You will study hard and your test scores will improve if you are scolded. If you don't scold, your scores will start to decline again. Look at how good your grades are. Don't fight in the future. Do you hear me? Look, your brother has been criticized because of you!"

By the time Lin Tao and Xu Yuting found out about the fight, it was already after class.

Lin Tao quickly asked Yueyue and Xiao Qingming what happened. The two of them talked about everything. Xu Yuting was so angry that she said, "Who is this Shen Jiayi? She bullied Yueyue when she was so young? This girl is too jealous. There was a girl in their class who was prettier than her. When someone said something, she hid the other person's homework book. The girl couldn't find her homework book and couldn't hand it in. She was criticized by the teacher. Later, someone saw that her homework book was in Shen Jiayi's desk. It was Teacher Qin who told me about this. She was very worried. She said that Shen Jiayi was too jealous. She had done ideological education several times, but it didn't seem to work."

"If you ask me, just let such a person be, there's no hope for her. The teacher did it for her own good, but she didn't take it seriously. She's so bad-tempered at such a young age. I don't know how her parents taught her. But when I thought of her mother being Lin Hui, I understood. How could a person like this teach a good child? Now that a Shen Jiaping has appeared, the Shen family is in great trouble." Xu Yuting said angrily.

I asked Yueyue if she was hurt anywhere. Yueyue shook her head and said that she was not hurt and was hugged by Brother Shen Jiaping.

Lin Tao didn't say anything, but she agreed with Xu Yuting's words in her heart.

She is actually a person who is serious about education. She believes that she needs to spend more time and effort to educate the children in the school. She hopes that every child who walks out of their school will not only become a useful person to the country, but also not a pest.

So when Qin Ling told her about Shen Jiayi before, she often helped Qin Ling to think of ways to educate Shen Jiayi and put her on the right path.

But she doesn't think so now. Some children are bad by nature and cannot be taught well.

She hugged Yueyue and checked again, and was relieved to see that Yueyue had no injuries at all. She was angry, but she was a teacher at the school, and although her daughter was pushed down, she had no injuries at all, but Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiahao were beaten, so she couldn't say anything.

On the way home, Lin Tao hugged Yueyue and asked her, "What about the incident where Shen Jiayi grabbed your hair?"

She could not remember that when she was fixing Yueyue's hair every day, she did not notice that Yueyue had any missing hair or any injuries on her scalp. She was just afraid that the child would be wronged when she was not paying attention.

Yueyue blushed and said, "When the principal asked, Qingming said she pulled a lot of my hair. In fact, she only pulled out one, two, three strands of my hair..."

Yueyue started counting on her fingers and said, "Just three hairs... Mom... I didn't lie... Qingming said that and I didn't say it, so I cried... and the principal believed it..."

Her mother usually taught her not to lie, but she didn’t lie…

After saying this, she touched her nose and felt guilty.

Lin Tao understood as soon as she heard it. She didn't expect that these two kids had learned to make things sound more serious in order to convict each other.

She felt helpless and amused, but she still kept a straight face and said, "Only this once."

***************************************

When Lin Hui returned home from get off work, she saw that both Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi were injured.

One had a bruised face, the other had a bruised knee, and the other had a painful back. When they saw Lin Hui coming back, Shen Jiahao, as a boy, didn't say anything, but Shen Jiayi immediately started crying and told them what happened today.

"Did Chen Shuifen's two sons beat you? Forget about pulling two strands of her hair, even if they really pulled a handful, so what! Think about when we were in Taohua Village, when little Lin Tao was bullied by me, did she dare to tell grandma?" Lin Hui was applying medicine to Shen Jiayi, and she was so angry that she used too much force, causing Shen Jiayi to feel terrible pain.

Shen Jiayi glared at Shen Jiaping who was doing his homework and said, "Mom, there is also Shen Jiaping. Shen Jiaping is an ungrateful person. He watched my brother and I get beaten and didn't help. Moreover, when Li Yanyue fell, Shen Jiaping hugged her to stop her from falling."

"Shen Jiaping, do you want to die? Your brother is an ungrateful bastard. You want Lin Tao to be your mother, right? You're dreaming. You'll never be her son in your lifetime!" Lin Hui glared at Shen Jiaping with disgust in her eyes.

Then she coaxed Shen Jiayi: "My dear, don't be angry. Mom will make delicious food for you today. I will kill the old hen that doesn't lay eggs at home and give it to you and your sister to replenish your body. Don't let Shen Jiaping, the ungrateful wolf, have a bite."

Shen Jiaping turned a deaf ear to these words and continued to do his homework.

After he finished his homework, Shen Jiayi threw hers to him and said, "Write it for me. You didn't help me today and I got hurt. I can't finish my homework."

Shen Jiaping glanced at Shen Jiayi. She clearly injured her knee, but she said she couldn't do her homework. However, Shen Jiaping didn't reject her request. He took the homework book and began to do her homework. After all, it wasn't the first time Shen Jiayi acted like this.

Moreover, Shen Jiaping found that by doing homework for Shen Jiayi without realizing it, he had learned a lot of things from the third and fourth grades. Although he was only in the second grade, he had already mastered a lot of the learning content of the third and fourth grades.

When Lin Hui went to kill the chicken, she gritted her teeth and muttered: "Lin Tao, ah Lin Tao, you not only bully me, you also want to bully my son and daughter. I won't let you go so easily, just wait..."

Lin Hui recalled what Chen Shuifen had said to Li Xiaojuan that day. She asked Li Xiaojuan and the others to bring some gifts to the farewell party. This farewell party was organized by Lin Tao and was also for the Yang Ai Party.

Chen Shuifen said that everyone should bring something, maybe she was asking everyone to give gifts to the Yang Ai Party.

Okay, she asked how Li Chengxi became the deputy brigade commander at such a young age, and why Shen Guobin was promoted in the previous life. When they met again, she heard others call him the division commander, but after she married Shen Guobin, Shen Guobin had always been just a small deputy battalion commander.

It turns out that all this is because of Lin Tao!

No matter how good Lin Tao appeared on the surface, she must have had some abnormal dealings with Yang Ai Dang in private. Yang Ai Dang said that to her because he probably thought the bacon she sent was not worth the money. In fact, it was unknown how many gifts she had received from others.

Now that she is leaving, Lin Tao asked all the military wives to hold a welcoming party for her, which should be to ask everyone to give gifts to the Yang Ai Party.

Lin Hui's eyes were filled with venom, and she sneered: "Okay, Lin Tao, Yang Ai Dang, just wait! This time I'm going to finish you all off!"

************************************

The farewell party is in three days.

That day happened to be a rest day, so everyone went out after getting ready.

Lin Tao fried a large pot of clams with chili in it, which tasted delicious. She picked up one and ate the meat in one gulp. Chen Shuifen baked some pancakes, fried some chili powder, and cut them into pieces.

Last time, Chen Shuifen ate pink chili and thought it was delicious, so she pickled a lot of it at home.

Chen Shuifen and Lin Tao went out together. Xu Yuting was waiting for them halfway. She also prepared some food. Most of the military wives who came to the farewell party brought food, which was not worth much, just to have fun.

Everyone, you eat what I make, and I eat what you make.

Yang Aidang prepared even more things. In order to prevent everyone from spending money, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of peach cakes and red shrimp cakes. She also brought some fried dough twists and oranges from home and brought them over for everyone to share.

"To be honest, I have been on the island for more than ten years. I have witnessed Shengshan Island getting better and better. I am really reluctant to leave now. I am reluctant to leave Shengshan Island and everyone. I am very grateful to Teacher Lin for organizing this farewell party today. Thank you all for coming to see me off." Yang Aidang spoke on the stage first.

"I know some of you are still afraid of me, thinking I am a leader, and you stutter when you talk to me." Yang Aidang said with a smile. Many of these military wives are from the countryside, and leaders are very powerful to them, so they are a little afraid of them. "Today, we will use this farewell party as an opportunity. Don't treat me as a leader, just treat me as a friend. Say whatever you want."

In the past few days, Yang Aidang and Commander Qi have walked to every corner of Shengshan Island. Looking at every tree and blade of grass here, they still feel reluctant to leave.

Now when I see these military wives, my eyes are filled with tears.

She turned her face away and didn't cry in front of everyone. She smiled and let everyone tell her what was in their heart.

"Director Yang, I think you are good in every way, except that you like to keep a straight face sometimes, which makes you look serious. If you smile more, you will definitely be more handsome!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Aidan smiled.

"Yes, that's it, very handsome!"

In fact, Yang Aidang was quite good-looking when she was young, and was considered the most beautiful girl in the village. But now she is older, and usually more serious and doesn't smile much. Now when she smiles like this, she really looks like she did when she was young.

"Director Yang, I really think you are very good. Our old Tian was originally very chauvinistic, but after you gave him some ideological education, he really changed a lot. After he came back, he even knew how to help me take care of my children."

"Director Yang, you are a good person..."

"Director Yang..."

Every word and every sentence are the truest words from everyone's heart.

No matter how strong Yang Ai Dang was, he couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes as he listened.

It was Lin Tao's turn to speak. She said, "Director Yang, I think you are a very remarkable person, an outstanding progressive woman, and a beacon of light in my life. Like you, I firmly believe that we women can hold up half the sky. This is no longer the old society. The power of us women will become stronger and stronger. As women, we must put an end to the perverse idea of ​​favoring boys over girls."

Although Lin Tao never thought that girls were inferior to boys, she was introverted. When she was in Taohua Village, many people around her favored boys over girls, and some even strangled their daughters to death.

She felt that this was wrong, but she never dared to say it.

But after meeting the energetic Yang Ai Party, she became more certain of her inner thoughts. She felt that women could stand up, so when she encountered something like what happened to Ma Xiaoying, she stood up decisively and told Ma Xiaoying, who said women are inferior to men.

Ma Xiaoying is now in high school, and her grades are very good even in a place like the No. 1 Middle School in the city. The last time she came back to the island, she came to see me specially and said that she had participated in a competition on behalf of their school and won first place!

Seeing Ma Xiaoying, who was much more confident than before and no longer kept her head down because she was afraid to look people in the eye, Lin Tao felt very happy.

After everyone finished speaking, Yang Aidang spoke to Lin Tao alone: ​​"Teacher Lin, when I leave this time, the island will lack someone to take charge of the overall situation, so I want you to take over this job. But you have to take care of school affairs, so I thought about it carefully and decided that you don't have to worry about other things, but if there are any conflicts, I will trouble you to mediate them."

Lin Tao nodded, reassuring Yang Ai Dang.

*********************************

At this moment, on the other side, Commander Yan looked at Lin Hui in front of him and said very seriously: "This is not a small matter. You said you are Shen Guobin's relative, right? Are you sure what you said is true?"

Lin Hui nodded and said confidently: "Commander, I promise that what I said is true! Director Yang is leaving soon, and Lin Tao asked all the military wives to hold a farewell party for her. In fact, she asked everyone to prepare gifts for Director Yang. And this is not the first time that Lin Tao has done this. She bribed Director Yang, so she has such a good relationship with her. I also suspect that Li Chengxi's position as deputy brigade commander was obtained by her bribery."

Commander Yan didn't really believe what Lin Hui said.

Commander Qi and Yang Aidang have been on the island for more than ten years, and the commander is very clear about their character, not to mention that Lin Hui's words are getting more and more outrageous. Even Li Chengxi's promotion to deputy brigade commander was the result of Li Tao's bribery.

What does Lin Hui think of this? Are all the leaders in their team corrupt?

Seeing that Commander Yan was silent, Lin Hui quickly said, "Commander, if you don't believe me, come with me and take a look. I saw with my own eyes that everyone was carrying large and small bags of things!"

Commander Yan took a look at Lin Hui and knew that if he didn't really go there, she would definitely spread even more unpleasant rumors, so he immediately sent someone to go with Lin Hui to see what was going on.

As soon as Lin Hui and the others left, Commander Yan asked the guards to call Shen Guobin over.

Lin Hui and two soldiers went to the farewell party in high spirits, hoping to catch Lin Tao and Yang Aidang. She had a good idea in her mind. She was too stupid last time. If she told Yang Aidang directly, she would definitely not admit it. So this time she simply went to find the commander directly.

The commander knows everything. Let’s see how Yang Aidang and Lin Tao can defend themselves.

"Comrades, they are all inside. Let's go straight in and catch them off guard." When they reached the door, Lin Hui said to the two comrades.

The two men looked at her and felt that Lin Hui still didn't understand what was going on. Commander Yan sent them here because he actually didn't believe that Director Yang was that kind of person. But since Lin Hui asked so, they listened to her and found out what was going on.

As soon as I walked in, I saw dozens of military wives sitting together, cracking melon seeds and chatting. Someone even praised me, "Teacher Lin, the clams you fried are really delicious. They are so fragrant, don't you think?"

"Of course I did. I've already eaten a lot, and you just realized it?"

Lin Hui looked at them and determined that they had hidden the gifts for the Yang Ai Party. She started looking for them as soon as she came in: "Move aside, all of you, move aside. Where did you hide the gifts?"

Lin Tao frowned. It was she who proposed to hold this farewell party. Yang Ai Dang had even said that she would take over the job after she left. Now she stood up and asked Lin Hui, "What? Lin Hui, what are you talking about? If you want to come to the farewell party, we welcome you, but if you want to make trouble for no reason, you have to explain clearly what is going on."

Seeing that Lin Tao was still playing dumb even at the end of her life, Lin Hui sneered, "Lin Tao, don't you know what I'm saying? You must know it very well, right?! You organized this farewell party, didn't you? What did you tell Chen Shuifen to tell everyone? You told them to bring something when they came. Did you tell them to give gifts to the Yang Ai Party?"

"What are you talking about? When did I ask you to bring things with you? When did I ask you to give gifts to Director Yang?" Before Lin Tao could say anything, Chen Shuifen spoke angrily.

Then the other military wives started talking at the same time: "Lin Hui, what are you talking about? Director Yang is such a good leader, you can't just splash dirty water on him! We came to the farewell party today and just brought some fried melon seeds. When did that mean we were giving Director Yang a gift?"

Lin Tao said, "And Director Yang brought the most things, all of which she bought specially for us to eat together. If this is also considered a gift, then we really have nothing to say."

The two soldiers sent by Commander Yan explained a few things to Yang Ai Dang.

Yang Aidang said, "Comrade, since someone has reported us and Commander Yan has asked you to search, then go ahead and search. I, Yang Aidang, have always been upright and have never done anything against my conscience. I am not afraid."

Commander Yan also meant this. Since Lin Hui had reported the matter in her real name, he had to make things clear in front of her so that she could see clearly what was going on.

The two soldiers saluted the Yang Ai Party to express their apology and began to search.

Among them, Lin Hui searched the most carefully, but they searched everywhere and found nothing except the food that everyone brought!

The two soldiers were about to go back to report to Commander Yan, but Lin Hui sat down on the ground with a pale face...

Lin Hui: "Impossible! How is that possible? I clearly saw you guys taking things out!"

It is true that others took things, but they were just food. Lin Hui herself believed that Lin Tao and Yang Ai Dang were not clean people, and that Lin Tao got promoted by bribing Yang Ai Dang, Li Chengxi in this life, and Shen Guobin in the previous life. That is why she was so sure that what they took were gifts for Yang Ai Dang and were used to bribe Yang Ai Dang!

She was unwilling to admit that she lost to Lin Tao. She lost to Lin Tao in her last life, and now she was reborn and had the upper hand, but she still lost to Lin Tao? She was unwilling to accept this.

Lin Tao looked at the pale Lin Hui and said coldly, "Lin Hui, what else do you have to say?"

*********************************

After Shen Guobin came out of Commander Yan's office, his steps were very uncertain.

It was clearly late autumn, but a layer of sweat had already appeared on his back and large drops of sweat were dripping from his forehead. His temples were throbbing and his ears were buzzing, and he could hardly hear what others were saying.

In his mind, the words Commander Yan had just spoken to him were still echoing.

Commander Yan asked, "Are you upset because the organization didn't promote you this time?" What is the duty of a soldier? It is to obey the organization's arrangements.

He said a lot of other things, but the sentence that stimulated him the most was that you might not be able to do your job well with your current mentality. It happened that Shimizu Island was being developed and there was a shortage of manpower, so the organization decided to send you there.

What does it mean that the organization decided to send him there? This is a demotion. If he goes to Qingshui Island, his life will really be over...

As soon as Shen Guobin walked out, the two soldiers came back and reported to Commander Yan. Shen Guobin happened to hear what happened.

Lin Hui, it’s Lin Hui again!

Shen Guobin's eyes were bloodshot and he strode towards home.
