Aunt Zhang hurriedly pulled Xue Zhenzhen aside and said, "Zhenzhen, Aimin has nothing to do with that female teacher. Don't listen to what Aiying said. Our family had already planned a wedding day. The team slaughtered a pig, and we were thinking of holding a wedding for you and Aimin. We hadn't even had a chance to tell you yet when this misunderstanding happened."
He Wan never expected that Aunt Zhang could lie so blatantly, treating everyone like fools.
Turning to look at Xue Zhenzhen's attitude, if she nodded in agreement, then her words would be considered as if she hadn't said anything.
Not only was He Wan waiting for Xue Zhenzhen's attitude, but everyone who came from the educated youth settlement was watching her.
Although Xue Zhenzhen wanted to marry Zhang Aimin, that was before today. She was in her twenties, her family wasn't here, but she wasn't a complete fool.
He sternly shook off Aunt Zhang's hand, then suddenly laughed out loud, his voice slightly choked. Looking at her unfunny smile, he said, "Ha, Aunt Zhang, do you think I'm so lowly that I won't marry anyone but your Zhang Aimin? It's a fact that he's two-timing you. If you want to clear your son's name, you'll have to see what the police station has to say."
Zhang's two sisters-in-law quickly pulled Xue Zhenzhen aside and said, "Let's talk this out, Xue Zhiqing, things can be discussed."
Chen Qing, who was standing to the side, took everyone's side this time and said, "There's nothing to discuss about this. You cheated us first, and one hundred yuan is not a small amount. Xue Zhiqing, should we call the police now? We'll go over there right now."
Several male educated youths nearby chimed in.
The Zhang family was truly panicked. They saw Zhang Aimin standing to the side, his face pale with shock, completely stunned when he heard the charge of hooliganism.
Just then, the battalion commander arrived, and not only him, but the deputy commander also came.
The deputy captain was related to the Zhang family. After learning about the situation, he scolded Zhang Aiying and made her apologize to Xue Zhenzhen.
The vice-captain kicked Zhang Aimin twice more; the kicks were so hard that they knocked Zhang Aimin to the ground.
Then he scolded each member of the Zhang family one by one. It has to be said that the deputy captain's actions directly appeased Xue Zhenzhen.
Finally, the brigade leader called over Chrysanthemum, the women's director.
This matter concerns the educated youth, so it must be handled carefully.
This Zhang family is so despicable; how could they do such a thing?
Aunt Juhua pulled Xue Zhenzhen aside and tried her best to persuade her, analyzing the situation for her in various ways.
“Xue, you see, if you really sue him, he will definitely suffer the consequences. But you are right about one thing: his family does have some connections with the commune.”
Even if we sue his family for maneuvering, it's hard to say what the final outcome will be.
I don't think we need to make things a lose-lose situation. After all, you're a girl. No matter who's right or wrong, in the end, it's us women who suffer. If you ask me, while we're in the right now, let's make them bleed.
The brigade leader and I will try to see if we can get your elementary school teacher position back. That's the key, isn't it, Xue Zhiqing?"
The elementary school teacher touched Xue Zhenzhen deeply.
He Wan wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak, since it was ultimately up to Xue Zhenzhen to decide.
Of course, if it were her, she wouldn't care about anything else and would just send the person to the police station.
That Zhang Aiying got her report through connections; let's see how arrogant she still is.
Seeing that Xue Zhenzhen was hesitant, Su Ranran and the others did not try to persuade her.
She turned around and went to the kitchen to quickly put the dumplings into the pot, otherwise they would all harden.
Aunt Juhua told her to think it over first and not to rush into a decision. She left after saying a few words.
But after Aunt Chrysanthemum left, the atmosphere at their educated youth settlement became somewhat subdued.
The meat dumplings that everyone had been looking forward to didn't taste as good as they used to.
