He Wan went along too, and when she arrived, she learned that Xue Zhenzhen had gone to find Zhang Aimin today, and happened to run into Zhang Aimin holding hands with a young female teacher outside the school. Moreover, the things they were saying instantly broke Xue Zhenzhen's defenses.
He went up and slapped Zhang Aimin, then slapped the woman, and the two women started fighting right at the school gate.
Xue Zhenzhen had only just found out that Zhang Aimin had been dating someone in the county behind her back.
To prevent the matter from escalating, Zhang Aimin dragged Xue Zhenzhen back to the village.
First, they went to his house and explained the situation to Xue Zhenzhen. As compensation, his family was willing to give Xue Zhenzhen fifty yuan.
Xue Zhenzhen, with her strong personality, naturally disagreed. As a result, Zhang Aimin's sister returned from school and, unaware of what had happened, started arguing with Xue Zhenzhen.
“You’re a young woman in your twenties, a sent-down youth, and you can’t lift a finger. You only asked my brother to help you with chores, right? With your arrogant personality, our family can’t accept a daughter-in-law like you. People strive for better things, and water flows downhill. You and my brother aren’t even married yet. If we feel it’s not right, we’ll naturally choose a new daughter-in-law. You’re a sent-down youth destined to do farm work in the countryside for the rest of your life. Can you compare to a teacher in the county town? If it’s a good match, then date; if not, then break up. My brother helped you with chores for two years, and all he did was hold your hand. We’re giving you fifty yuan. That’s more than enough from the Zhang family. And you still have the nerve to cause trouble in my house?”
"Heh, I'm just a penniless and powerless educated youth. It's only right that you bully me like this, right? Believe me or not, I'll go to the police station and report you and your brother."
"Sue?" Zhang Aiying laughed. The villagers were afraid of going to the police station. Who was she? She had gone to school and was now a primary school teacher. She was educated and knew a little about the law. She wasn't afraid that Xue Zhenzhen was trying to scare people: "You went to sue someone because your relationship didn't work out. Who would dare to date in the future? Go ahead and sue."
Seeing Zhang Aiying talking incessantly, the Zhang family members quickly told her to shut up, but she wouldn't listen at all.
"You, who stole someone else's spot, are so arrogant. The people of Dali Village are indeed barbaric."
"Who are you saying stole someone else's spot?"
"I'm talking about you. Back when the village primary school was recruiting students, your parents, your brother, your sister-in-law, and Zhang Aimin tricked me into giving them 100 yuan, saying they had connections in the commune and would help me get things done. Haha, in the end, they used my money to smooth things over for you. Your Zhang family is really cunning."
"You think you're so great just because you got a good deal, and you're starting to act all high and mighty, criticizing others? Zhang Aiying, Zhang Aimin, you listen to me, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation for this good thing, this isn't over."
Zhang Aiying was stunned. She turned to look at her mother and asked, "What does she mean?"
Old Zhang, standing to the side, said coldly, "Shut up."
Zhang Aiying considered herself very clever. After hearing her father's reprimand, she understood perfectly well that she had gotten her position as a teacher through connections.
Zhang Aimin pulled Xue Zhenzhen aside and said, "Let's stop arguing. It's not good for anyone if everyone knows about it."
Xue Zhenzhen coldly shook him off, saying, "I'm wronged, but I did nothing wrong. Why can't I let others know? If I keep quiet, I'll be the one who suffers the most. Zhang Aimin, let me tell you, I'm not letting this matter rest with your Zhang family."
Seeing that Wang Jianguo and the others remained silent, He Wan grew anxious and stepped forward, saying, "That's right, keeping quiet is a huge loss. What does the Zhang family mean? What's wrong with us educated youth? We've worked the land our whole lives, we have no money or connections, so we're just meant to be bullied, right? Zhang Aimin, everyone in Dali Village knows you're dating Xue, the educated youth. Your sister's words are so true, 'People should strive for higher positions, water should flow downhill,' but when you were striving for higher positions, did you even notice your shoes were still covered in mud?"
There's nothing wrong with dating, and there's nothing wrong with ending it. The mistake is having two relationships at the same time; that's called being a scoundrel.
Captain Wang, quickly go and call the brigade leader over. Ask him if we educated youth are really that easy to bully.
Wang Jianguo then came to his senses and hurriedly turned around to reply, "Yes, the Zhang family shouldn't be bullied like this."
When the Zhang family heard that it had escalated to the point of being a hooligan, which was a serious crime and could potentially put their most promising son in jail, they panicked instantly.
