Lin Lan saw that everyone was talking about the teacher, and it seemed that they had forgotten about Song Jin beating someone.
He pretended to be distressed and walked up to Ding Xiaomai, helping her sit up.
"Xiaomi, are you okay? Your mouth is swollen. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else? Don't bear it."
This successfully attracted the attention of Du Ming and Wang Xiaohui.
Wang Xiaohui: "Yes, Captain, let's not talk about the teacher first. You must handle the matter of Song Jin beating others impartially."
Du Ming: "We don't have any other intentions. We just think Song Zhiqing has a bad temper. He gets into fights over a disagreement. Look at the way he hit Ding Zhiqing. We don't know if he has any internal injuries."
The captain looked at the two people who were trying to stir up trouble, his eyes full of impatience.
But he still forced himself to ask Song Jin: "Song Zhiqing, what do you say?"
Song Jin spoke again: "I beat her because she deserved it. I said I didn't want to ask you to use your connections to make them teachers, but Ding Zhiqing said I had to repay them for eating their food. Didn't I bring my own food? And he even brought my tutor to talk to me."
The team leader looked at the other educated youths and asked, "Is this what Song Zhiqing said?"
The others looked at each other, no one spoke. Niu Li looked conflicted, and just as he was about to speak, Zhou Suisui spoke.
"But it's not as easy as Song Zhiqing said. Ding Zhiqing called Song Zhiqing a young lady and said she had no manners. She also said it was no wonder that Song Zhiqing was so close to the country people. They had money and didn't spend it on her. They ate a lot of peach cakes and bacon. It really proves the saying, 'Eat when you pick up the bowl, and curse when you put it down.'"
Everyone around understood what was going on. It turned out that Ding Zhiqing was so shameless that he ate the things brought by Song Zhiqing, cursed him, and looked down on them as country people.
"What's wrong with us country folk? We country folk are not so shameless."
Everyone started to curse Ding Xiaomai, and even Lin Lan, Du Ming, and Wang Xiaohui joined in the scolding.
The captain's wife was even more insightful: "This is the first time I've seen someone like this. How come when God spread morality among the world, he chose to hold up an umbrella for you? You're the only one who has no shame, aren't you?"
Song Jin almost laughed out loud.
But some people felt that even if they were in the wrong, Song Jin shouldn't have hit them. However, everyone was scolding the educated youth at the moment, so they didn't dare to attract attention.
Song Jin turned to the team leader and said, "Zhiqing Ding and Zhiqing Lin also want me to apologize to her and compensate her with fifty yuan."
The captain's wife couldn't help herself and said, "You guys are so naive. I'll even give you compensation. If it were me, I'd tear my mouth to pieces for you."
Niu Li watched the situation spiral out of control and, sensing that he had already caused dissatisfaction among the team leader, stepped forward and spoke out, "Everyone, calm down. Ding Zhiqing was indeed at fault for what happened today. She was the one who started it with her harsh words, which provoked Song Zhiqing to take action. But now she's learned her lesson, so I think we're even now. Have a good day's rest. I'm sure everyone has other things to do."
Ding Xiaomai and Lin Lan also knew that there was no way to deal with Song Jin now, so they could only nod frustratedly.
Seeing the crowd was about to disperse, they turned around and prepared to go into the house when Song Jin's voice rang out in their ears: "Stop, did I say it's over?"
Lin Lan and Ding Xiaomai turned around in disbelief. They didn't expect Song Jin to hold on to them. She was the one who hit others. Wasn't she really afraid?
Du Ming was indignant: "Song Zhiqing, you are too arrogant. Don't forget that you were the one who hit her. Even if Ding Zhiqing said something unpleasant, you would have hit her back after you said a few words to her. You beat her up like this, what else do you want?"
The surrounding villagers and other educated youth also expressed their incomprehension. They were given a way out, so why didn't they come down?
Song Jin looked at them and said solemnly, "You said I had no manners, which is equivalent to insulting my parents. You think it's not easy to get even without an apology. Unless you want to go against the country, do you really think insulting a martyr is a small matter?"
Everyone was stunned. Martyr? What did that mean? Song Jin was the orphan of a martyr?
Song Jin spoke again: "My parents both died for their country and are heroes recognized by the state. As a military family member of a hero, I cannot tolerate anyone humiliating my parents like this. After my parents' death, my life was taken care of and arranged by the state and the military leaders. You say I have no upbringing. Are you questioning the military leaders and the arrangements of the state? Captain, please report this to the police."
Seeing that Song Jin's hair was getting higher and higher, Ding Xiaomai and the others' faces became paler and paler.
Ding Xiaomai was so scared that she stepped forward and grabbed Song Jin's hand: "No, no, I'm sorry, Song Zhiqing, it's all my fault for being such a jerk. Don't be angry. I'll compensate you. I'll give you ten yuan, no, twenty yuan. Please don't report me to the police. It wasn't me who asked for compensation just now. I didn't want any compensation."
Lin Lan's expression became increasingly ugly, but she still had to step forward and apologize together.
The next moment, several people from the educated youth group apologized one by one, and Ding Xiaomai, heartbroken, gave the 20 yuan compensation. This was almost all her savings of the past two years, and she secretly blamed Lin Lan for being too talkative.
The villagers left one after another, but they were still discussing Song Jin's life experience. However, no one dared to say anything bad. Although he was an orphan, he was the orphan of a martyr who was cared for by the country. He could stand up for himself and was not someone who was easy to bully.
After Song Jin accepted the compensation and apology, he left a few words to everyone and left. Everyone was still puzzled.
She said, this is the second time!
