Chapter 50
When everyone saw Wang Jiang, they began to talk in low voices.
"Oh, Wang Jiang is back! He's the boss lady's academically gifted son, and his grades are excellent."
"Why does he look like a gangster?"
Neighbors explained to passersby and reporters, "What do you mean by thug? He's just a little ugly, but he's got good grades. Good looks don't make a living. Dyeing your hair yellow is fashionable these days."
"Times have changed now? I remember back then you weren't allowed to dye your hair in high school."
"Who said that? It seems that it is not allowed now."
"Maybe because he has good grades, the teacher makes an exception for him?"
"Why haven't I seen this student before? Our county's No. 1 Middle School doesn't allow students to dye their hair. Are you sure he's a student there?"
"How could he not be? After he was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, we all had a feast at home. We all knew about it."
Wang Jiang felt guilty when he heard people talking about him. He angrily pointed his finger at Niu Fang, "What are you looking at? This is my home, you're not welcome! Get out of here! You look so poor, you might be trying to blackmail us. I'm their only son, who the hell do you think you are to claim kinship with us?!"
Everyone's attention was diverted to look at Niu Fang. This young man had a clean face and clear eyes. His patched clothes could not hide his scholarly air. Then they looked at Wang Jiang. He was wearing branded clothes from head to toe, which probably cost less than two thousand yuan in total. He was fat, ugly and had yellow hair. He did not look like a model student at all.
With such a comparison, everyone couldn't help but lean towards Niu Fang.
Niu Fang said calmly, "Your parents are still yours. I'm not competing with you for them, nor do I need to. As long as you pay me child support now, I'll leave immediately and won't bother you."
Wang Jiang frowned and said, "You want money? Impossible! All the money in my family is mine. Why should I give it to you? Who do you think you are? You keep asking for money. Are you crazy because of poverty? You are a psychopath."
Niu Fang didn't care about Wang Jiang's harsh words and reiterated his purpose, "I know you don't like me, but it doesn't matter to me. As long as you give me money, I will leave."
Wang Jiang's tiny eyes, the size of sesame seeds and mung beans, flashed with disdain and ridicule. He pulled three or four hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and threw them on the ground in disgust. Then he raised his chin, squinted his eyes, and said condescendingly, "Don't you like money? This is enough, right? I'll give it to you as a reward, just like giving away a beggar. Now that you've picked up the money, leave quickly. Don't make trouble in my house, or I'll beat you up."
Niu Fang had an expressionless face. He bent down silently to pick up the money on the ground, patted the dust off the bills, then folded them and put them in his pocket like a treasure.
Nan Tao watched this scene, her heart raging with anger. Damn, this is so insulting. Then she saw the cow picking up the money like it was a treasure, and she felt sad.
The other people present felt the same way as Nan Tao and felt uncomfortable.
Nan Tao's eyes rolled, flashing a cunning light, and she whispered to the older brothers and sisters who were watching the fun on both sides.
Soon, everyone started talking and gradually spread the word.
"This is a bit too much. Why do you have to do this?"
"Niu Fang, this kid is so pitiful."
"Not only do you not give money, but you also insult people and do all sorts of immoral things."
"Is this what you call a good student, a top student? Is there something wrong with that?"
"It doesn't matter if you have good academic performance, if you have bad character you are still a social outcast."
"We are all brothers from the same mother. This is too cruel."
Nan Tao covered her lips and giggled like a little fox. She retired from the crowd after achieving her goal, listening to everyone pointing fingers at Wang Jiang. Especially when she saw Wang Jiang and the proprietress's faces flushed with anger, she felt as happy as if she had just eaten a delicious meal.
Wang Jiang was so enraged that he couldn't control himself at all. He lashed out at the people around him and yelled, "None of your business! Stop pointing fingers at me. What does it have to do with you whether I'm a good student or a top student? I don't eat your rice, so why should I worry about it? Get out! Get out! Don't stay at our house!"
The proprietress was so shocked that she tried to stop him, but it was too late.
There was an elderly man holding two large plastic bags full of waste. He did not react as quickly as the others and took a few steps back before being pushed to the ground by Wang Jiang.
"Ouch~" The old man fell to the ground.
The proprietress was so frightened that she rushed forward, wanting to help but not daring to, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Wang Jiang was a little scared when he saw this, but he was mostly angry. "You old fool, why are you pretending? Are you trying to blackmail our family? I didn't use any force at all just now. You fell because you lost your balance. It has nothing to do with me. Don't blame me!"
Everyone was furious and said, "What are you talking about? We saw with our own eyes that you pushed him down!"
Wang Jiang took two steps back in fear, swallowed hard, and angrily said, "He was slow to react. Is it my fault?"
Everyone looked at Wang Jiang with disgust.
A kindhearted person approached the old man and asked for his family's phone number. After helping him make the call and explaining the situation, he asked, "Are you seriously injured? Do you want to call an ambulance?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "No, it's not a big problem. It just hurts a little and I can't move."
The kindhearted man and several other young men helped lift the old man up and moved him to lie down in the shade nearby.
After this little episode, the proprietress and Wang Jiang did not dare to drive people away at will, for fear that what happened just now would happen again. After all, there were still many old men and women watching the excitement in the crowd. They were all elderly people with fragile bones. If something happened, they would not be able to afford the compensation.
Although Wang Jiang was at fault in this matter, the proprietress still shifted the blame to Niu Fang. She said that if Niu Fang had not brought reporters with him, no one would come to watch the excitement. Without people watching, no one would say bad things about her son, and her son would not have gotten angry and pushed people. All this was caused by the evil Niu Fang.
The boss lady became even more angry when she thought about her beloved son Wang Jiang being pointed at by everyone and being accused of pushing an old man. She has always been very protective of her son, and this time was no exception.
The proprietress looked at Niu Fang with disgust, "Are you satisfied with the way it's turned out?"
Niu Fang tried hard to pull the corners of his lips upwards, but failed. His clear eyes were free of emotion. "He was the one who pushed the person!"
The proprietress pointed at Niu Fang angrily, "So what? Are you trying to say it has nothing to do with you? If it weren't for you, my son would lose his temper? If it weren't for you, he would push people? Why are you pretending? I'm telling you, you can't get any money! My money is going to be used for my son's college education, and I won't give you a penny. I'm putting this out there today, no one can say anything! Unless your academic performance is better than my son's and you can get into the top three in the school, don't even think about it."
Niu Fang's eyes lit up, "Do you mean what you say?"
The proprietress sneered, "I mean what I say! My son's grades are excellent, and you... oh, you're far behind."
Nan Tao looked at the proprietress with sympathy. She dug a hole and buried herself in it, and then actively escaped into it. Awesome!
But it feels so good. If the boss lady knew that Wang Jiang was a poor student and Niu Fang was a top student, what would her expression be?
Hmm~ Let me guess, my face must have turned green. No, I must have clicked three times in a row first and didn’t believe it… Hahaha…
Nan Tao was watching with great interest when suddenly someone tugged at her clothes. "Who is it? Stop it, I'm just enjoying the fun."
"peach."
Nan Tao watched the fun without blinking, and didn't hear anyone calling her name.
"peach!"
Nan Tao was still watching intently.
Zhou Mei pinched her brows speechlessly, lowered her head and looked at Yu Ze, "Your mommy is addicted to watching the fun."
Yu Ze nodded in agreement.
Nan Tao did not hear the conversation between the two. At this time, she was excitedly waiting for Niu Fang's counterattack.
Niu Fang: "My grades are better than Wang Jiang's."
The proprietress sneered, "Stop bragging. You're not afraid of blowing your own trumpet."
Niu Fang said seriously, "If you don't believe me, ask Wang Jiang."
The proprietress turned to look at Wang Jiang and said confidently, "Son, tell Niu Fang how good your grades are. What was your ranking in the grade during the midterm exam?"
Wang Jiang's eyes dodged, and he said impatiently, "How many times have I told you not to go around telling people about my grades? What's there to compare with?! It's so annoying. If nothing else, I'll go inside. You can handle it yourself."
The proprietress held Wang Jiang back and coaxed him, "Don't go, son. Come on, tell me. You heard what Niu Fang said just now. Our grades are definitely better than his."
Wang Jiang said angrily: "I don't care about him, don't involve me in the matter between you and him! I'm going in."
Niu Fang hurriedly stopped the man and asked, "Are you scared?"
Wang Jiang laughed and said, "I'm still scared? I would be scared?"
Niu Fang didn't reply, but instead said to the people around him, "Please bear witness. If my grades are better than Wang Jiang's and I'm in the top three in the school, she will give me the child support she's paid for all these years."
Nan Tao was the first to lead the applause, "Great! We will all bear witness to you."
Applause has a demonstrative effect, and everyone applauded enthusiastically, agreeing one after another: "Don't worry, we are all listening, and we can't deny our responsibility."
Everyone's support for Niu Fang made Wang Jiang panic. He seemed to have a premonition that something bad was going to happen. He pushed Niu Fang away and said, "Let me go! I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Get out!"
Niu Fang had been doing manual labor since he was young, and his physical fitness was much better than Wang Jiang, who had grown up in a honeypot. He easily restrained Wang Jiang and shouted, "Do you dare to say whether your grades are good or bad?!"
Wang Jiang was furious and suddenly punched Niu Fang in the face.
Niu Fang was caught off guard and although he dodged quickly, the fist still landed on his jaw, causing him to gasp in pain.
Everyone exclaimed and became more and more displeased with Wang Jiang.
Niu Fang's eyes were stained with dark ink. He gritted his teeth, endured it and did not fight back. He said calmly, "You didn't get into high school, so you forged the admission letter!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Nan Tao's heart was filled with excitement, and her eyes were almost overflowing with excitement. She excitedly said to the person next to her: "Oh my God, oh my God, ah ah ah! Did you see it? Did you see it?!"
Zhou Mei looked down at her arm, which was pinched red, and said speechlessly, "Let go."
Nan Tao was still screaming, especially when she saw Wang Jiang's pale face. It felt so good! He deserved it for scolding her yesterday! Humph!
I seemed to hear Meimei’s voice just now. Forget it, let’s finish eating the melon first.
Wang Jiang's face turned pale as he forced himself to retort, "What are you talking about?! I don't understand!"
Niu Song let go of Wang Jiang, slowly straightening his wrinkled sleeves. He then relayed the information he and the reporter had found out in advance. "You lied about your good grades so you could justify your spending. You lied about getting into high school so you could get more money. I'm guessing you're coming home because you've almost run out of living expenses and tuition."
With every word Niu Fang spoke, Wang Jiang's face turned paler. When Niu Fang finished speaking, Wang Jiang was shaking like a sieve and his face was as white as wall putty.
Wang Jiang's lips trembled as he retorted without any confidence, "You, you're lying! I didn't!"
