Chapter 78 Did You Take It?
Classmate B said, "Xiao Min, look for it."
"I was worried I might lose it, so I put it inside the easel, thinking I'd take it out to pay for it today. But just now, I couldn't see it anymore."
Classmate C: "How could it be gone? This observation deck is reserved for our class. No one else can get in."
Student D: “Will it?”
Other students also came to the observation deck one after another. Seeing that everyone was standing, they asked, "What's going on?"
Classmate C said, "The class funds were stolen."
"What?"
Zhang Min burst into tears: "What should I do? It's over 6,000 yuan. How can I pay for it?"
Classmates were trying to comfort Zhang Min: "Xiao Min, don't cry. We are trying to find out who is so wicked as to steal class funds."
Squad leader Peng Chuan said from the side: "Who was the last one to leave yesterday?"
Zhang Min raised her hands and choked up, "It's me?"
If Zhang Min was the last one to leave, then it would be someone else.
"Who was the first one to arrive this morning?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
Classmate A glanced at Fu Jiu and chose to remain silent. Then another classmate spoke up, "Class monitor, when I got here, Fu Jiu and Li Hui were already there. I don't know who was the first."
Fu Jiu stood up and said calmly, "I was the first one to come."
Peng Chuan glared at Fu Jiu: "Come out with me!"
Song Shuran was a little worried, but she naturally believed that Fu Jiu would not do such a thing.
Fu Jiu nodded at her, telling her not to worry, and followed Peng Chuan to the outside of the observation deck.
Peng Chuan was a little angry: "Fu Jiu, do you know that what you are doing now is a crime?"
Fu Jiu smiled and said, "What did I do? What crime did I commit?"
"Hurry up and take out the money. I won't tell the class teacher what happened today."
“I didn’t take it!”
"If it wasn't you who took it, could it be a ghost? You're the first one to come to the observation deck."
"I was the first one here, but I didn't take it. I might as well be the thief crying 'stop thief'." As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Min and the other classmates came out, crying, "Fu Jiu, I know you're upset with me because of what happened yesterday, but you shouldn't frame me like this. You must know what's going on at home."
Peng Chuan looked at Zhang Min and asked, "What happened to you yesterday?"
So Xie Hui recounted what happened yesterday. No one cared about Fu Jiu and Song Shuran being humiliated, but rather the sentence "Fu Jiu's father was imprisoned for embezzling public funds."
Embezzlement of public funds.
Like father, like daughter.
Aren’t class funds public funds?
So everyone started whispering.
Fu Jiu listened to her classmates' disdain and ridicule, a sneer curling up at the corner of her mouth.
She looked at Zhang Min and walked up to her. "Zhang Min, I told you it's important to stand on the right side. I've encountered this kind of trick before. Guess how I solved it?"
Zhang Min felt a little guilty: "What do you want to do?"
Fu Jiu smiled and said, "What can I do? Aren't all the accusations directed at me now?"
Peng Chuan said directly, "Fu Jiu's behavior is inappropriate. I will report it to the Education Department for handling."
Fu Jiu ignored him and returned to the observation deck, continuing to paint.
Several classmates rushed to Fu Jiu's side and, without a word, pushed her drawing board to the ground. "You stole our class funds, and you still have the nerve to draw here?"
Zhang Min picked up the paint in her hand and threw it on Fu Jiu's drawing board.
The painting is complete with just one last highlight, but now...
Everyone present was stunned when they saw a stack of money falling out of the easel.
"Yeah, I didn't expect there would be such a person in our class."
"People like this should be expelled straight away. Why are they still attending school?"
"Don't they say like father, like son? Stealing is hereditary."
Throughout the whole process, Fu Jiu remained calm and didn't say a word. She glanced at Zhang Min, then bent down to organize her drawing board.
Song Shuran ran over and said indignantly, "Don't go too far."
"Song Shuran, if you make friends with a thief like this, be careful that he might steal from you."
While Song Shuran was still arguing with them, Fu Jiu tidied up her drawing board, picked up her palette, walked over to Zhang Min's easel, and directly applied the colors on the palette.
She also pushed the easels of those who had pushed her easels to the ground one by one, and soon the viewing platform was in a mess.
Everyone is so confused.
Especially Zhang Min.
She jumped in front of Fu Jiu and shouted, "Fu Jiu, what are you doing?"
Fu Jiu clapped her hands and said calmly, "Treat others as they would have you treat them."
"You..." She had painstakingly painted a picture for a long time last night, but now it was ruined by Fu Jiu.
At this time, the head teacher rushed over after being notified by Peng Chuan. Seeing the mess, he was furious and said, "What's going on?"
Zhang Min said with a look of grievance, "Teacher, it was Fu Jiu. It was all Fu Jiu who did it."
"Yes, teacher, not only did Fu Jiu steal our class funds, she also destroyed our paintings."
The head teacher walked up to Fu Jiu with a cold expression and asked, "Fu Jiu, is what they said true?"
Fu Jiu said frankly, "I destroyed the painting, but I didn't take the money."
A classmate beside him interrupted: "Tsk, the money fell out of his own drawing board, and he's still trying to make excuses."
The teacher ignored him and maintained the attitude a teacher should have: "Even if it's a misunderstanding, we can talk it out. How can you destroy the students' paintings?"
Fu Jiu smiled and asked, "So if they can destroy me, I can't destroy theirs?"
The head teacher's face darkened after being criticized: "You are simply not worthy of discipline. I can't manage you. Let the Education Department take care of you."
After saying that, he turned to the other students and said, "We'll stay here for two more days. Everyone can paint peacefully. As for Fu Jiu, I've already contacted the disciplinary office to decide whether to expel her. It's up to them."
The homeroom teacher meant that he would no longer care about Fu Jiu's life or death.
Zhang Min was not satisfied with the result, so she said, "Teacher, let the police handle this kind of person. The Education Department may not be able to handle it."
Other students followed suit: "Yes, yes, teacher, call the police."
The head teacher looked at Fu Jiu and decided to give her a chance. "Fu Jiu, apologize to everyone and promise not to steal again. I will not pursue this matter."
No matter what, Fu Jiu is still quite outstanding, and she hopes that each of her students can achieve something.
Fu Jiu remained firm: "They are the ones who should apologize. I am not wrong."
"You..." The head teacher was furious. She had never expected Fu Jiu to be so ungrateful.
"Pengchuan, call the police."
Song Shuran was extremely anxious when she heard this. She was already a junior, and she couldn't let Fu Jiu get expelled like this, let alone let the police take her away.
She hurriedly found the business card Ning Yuan had given her in her bag, and then called Ning Yuan.
