Chapter 35 Chen Jia Gets Beaten
His serious expression startled Shen Lin.
He stammered, "I...I understand."
"I don't care how you teach those kids, but you can't let the higher-ups come looking for me. If this happens again, you can forget about being a teacher." Shen Xizhen rubbed her temples and said irritably.
Shen Lin opened her mouth, looking at Shen Xizhen in front of her with a hesitant expression, but in the end she didn't say anything, only nodded with a sense of frustration: "I remember, I will definitely not do such a thing again, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xizhen glanced at Shen Lin, only believing half of what Shen Lin said.
Shen Lin stopped thinking about Zheng Jiayu and focused on how to proceed with her work.
In the following days, Zheng Jiayu did not see Shen Lin either.
Every day, she either goes into the mountains with Aunt Lin and the others, or stays at home making clothes.
It wasn't until Chen Jia approached Zheng Jiayu that this happened.
Chen Jia approached Zheng Jiayu, and the moment Zheng Jiayu looked up, she saw another scene on Chen Jia.
In the scene, Chen Jia is holding a dagger and is about to attack her when she is not paying attention.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Jiayu stared sharply at Chen Jia, especially at the hand behind her back.
Chen Jia was startled when Zheng Jiayu suddenly looked up.
Zheng Jiayu stood up, walked to the side without making a sound, and looked at Chen Jia: "Did you want to see me?"
Seeing Zheng Jiayu leave, Chen Jia hurriedly chased after her, thrusting the dagger in her hand towards Zheng Jiayu.
As the other party lunged at him, Zheng Jiayu struck Chen Jia's wrist with a stick. As Chen Jia released the dagger in pain, Zheng Jiayu grabbed Chen Jia's wrist and slammed him to the ground.
"Chen Jia, we have no grudge against each other, why did you attack me?" If she hadn't seen the scene on Chen Jia's body, and if she hadn't trained with Gu Yunting, she would probably be in grave danger today.
Chen Jia struggled incessantly: "Zheng Jiayu, you little slut who seduces men, you'll die a horrible death!"
"May they die a horrible death?"
Zheng Jiayu was so angry at these words that she laughed. She looked at Chen Jia in front of her with cold eyes and said, "You said I would die a horrible death, but now it's you who's going to be unlucky."
"What will your parents do if they find out what you did? Will they help you, or will they cut off all ties with you?" Zheng Jiayu looked at the angry Chen Jia with curiosity.
Chen Jia blushed at the thought of her parents' possible expressions.
He stared intently at Zheng Jiayu: "What exactly do you want?"
"Chen Jia, that's the question I should be asking you."
"Why did you want to kill me?" Zheng Jiayu asked again.
Chen Jia turned her head away without saying anything; she wouldn't say anything.
Seeing that Chen Jia was unwilling to talk, Zheng Jiayu did not continue to ask questions. Instead, she tied Chen Jia up with a rope and dragged her to Chen's house.
Seeing Chen Jia being tied up and dragged over by Zheng Jiayu, Chen's mother was somewhat surprised: "Jiayu, what happened?"
"Chen Jia tried to kill me with a dagger, but I caught her."
Chen's mother stared at Zheng Jiayu in shock, then turned to Chen Jia: "Is what Jiayu said true? Are you really going to lay a hand on Jiayu?"
Chen Jia, feeling both ashamed and angry, looked at her mother in front of her and said angrily, "Who is your daughter here?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Chen's mother slapped Chen Jia across the face: "Is your purpose in doing this to Shen Xizhen?"
Seeing her mother dragging Shen Xizhen into this matter, Chen Jia, like an angry lioness, said: "What does this have to do with him? I just can't stand Zheng Jiayu, and I just want to teach him a lesson."
Upon hearing Chen Jia's answer, Zheng Jiayu already knew the answer in her heart.
Turning to look at Chen's mother, whose face was full of disappointment, Zheng Jiayu said, "Auntie, I'll give you face. I won't tell Yunting about this. As for Chen Jia, you can handle it."
Because of Chen's mother's previous reminder, she was willing to repay Chen's mother's favor, but only this once.
There will be no next time.
Chen's mother looked at Zheng Jiayu gratefully: "Jiayu, I'm so sorry you had to suffer. I will definitely give you an explanation."
"I trust Auntie, so I'll be going now."
After glancing at the defiant Chen Jia, Zheng Jiayu turned and left.
After Zheng Jiayu left, Chen's mother took out a stick.
Chen Jia's face turned deathly pale when she saw the stick: "Mom, what are you going to do?"
Chen's mother did not answer Chen Jia's question, but instead took a stick and beat Chen Jia.
When Chen Jia's sister-in-law returned, she asked curiously, "Mom, what happened? Why did you hit my younger sister?"
"What is she doing? She's gotten so bold, she actually took a dagger and tried to kill that girl Zheng Jiayu."
Chen Jia's sister-in-law looked at Chen Jia in disbelief: "Jiajia, is what Mom said true?"
“I just wanted to teach her a lesson; I didn’t intend to kill her.”
Chen Jia's sister-in-law was so angry she laughed. What's the difference?
"Chen Jia, do you know what trouble this will bring to our family?" Chen's wife asked angrily.
Chen Jia pouted and muttered, "Isn't everything alright now?"
"Chen Jia, you..."
Chen's mother laughed in exasperation.
The reason everything is fine now is because Zheng Jiayu gave her face and repaid her favor. Otherwise, she would have gone directly to Gu Yunting and asked him to talk to the leaders about this matter.
Aunt Chen tugged at her mother's arm and asked worriedly, "Mom, will this affect us?"
"Don't worry, Jiayu said she won't pursue this matter this time because of me, and will let us handle it ourselves, so we have to show her our attitude." Chen's mother knew that they couldn't persuade Chen Jia, so they had to use another method.
Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully she wouldn't implicate her husband.
Then his expression turned serious: "Mom, we must teach Chen Jia a lesson this time. She really dares to do anything."
Chen's mother shared the same thoughts as her daughter-in-law.
Seeing Chen Jia's defiant and even resentful expression made him furious.
They grabbed Chen Jia and beat her up, leaving her covered in bruises.
"Chen Jia, I'm asking you one last time, are you really going to help Shen Xizhen do such a heinous thing?" Chen's mother asked sternly.
"I did it on my own initiative, it has nothing to do with him, why do you have to drag him into this?" Chen Jia's words were full of protection for Shen Xizhen.
It was clearly all for Shen Xizhen's sake; it was clearly Shen Xizhen who stirred things up.
As a result, Chen Jia not only disobeyed, but also said such shameless things.
With a trembling finger, he pointed at Chen Jia and said, "Fine, since you're so powerful, we won't interfere in your affairs anymore, whether you live or die."
Chen Jia snorted coldly: "Fine, I don't care. I'll be fine even without you guys."
Chen's mother was so angry that she almost fainted, but fortunately, her sister-in-law supported her so that she didn't fall to the ground.
After recovering, Chen's mother untied Chen Jia's ropes and said, "Get out."
