Chapter 99: Forgive others when you can
Hearing the low laughter of the people around her, Wen Manman felt as if she was being fried in a frying pan and was very uncomfortable.
No matter how scheming and cunning she is, she is still a teenage junior high school student. She will feel ashamed when faced with other people's ridicule.
Wen Zhu's words put her in a dilemma. It was not right to agree, nor was it right to refuse.
Seeing that Wen Manman didn't say anything and had a sour face, Wen Zhu became louder.
"Hey, you city bumpkin, why are you ignoring me? I'm a country bumpkin."
Everyone around was laughing like crazy.
Wen Manman's classmates usually thought she was a good person, kind and generous. Seeing her being mocked by Wen Zhu, they couldn't stand it. Some boys started to speak up for her.
"This classmate, that's enough. Let's be merciful. Besides, it's someone else who made the rude remarks. It's not Wen Manman's fault.
She only wants everyone to get along harmoniously, so she got involved in these troubles. Don't be so malicious towards a girl! "
As he said this, he stood in front of Wen Manman, whose eyes were already filled with tears.
Like the princess' most loyal knight.
Wen Zhu smiled and looked at him, "My classmate, I don't know what you mean. I was just following her words. Since she thinks it's a friendly greeting, then I'll apply it. It should be okay, right? Why can only the governor set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"
Is it because we're not from a city school? Or is it because we're what you call 'country bumpkins'? And you can't accept that?
The boy didn't want to admit that their kind-hearted classmate Wen Manman was wrong, but he couldn't refute the girl's question. He could only say "you, you, you..." for a long time before finally saying, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to make peace."
Wen Zhu no longer smiled, but said seriously, "I think your classmates owe us an apology, what do you think?"
The male student said to Wu Xiaoyun, the troublemaker, "Wu Xiaoyun, why don't you apologize? Look at the trouble you've caused. Apologize quickly. The teacher is waiting for us to gather."
Wu Xiaoyun stamped his feet angrily, "Squad leader? I won't apologize! I'm not wrong."
The boy who was called the class monitor knew that he was not in the right, but he did not want Wen Manman to be wronged, so he could only use the teacher to pressure her, "Do you want the teacher to know about this and disqualify you from the competition?"
When Wu Xiaoyun heard that she was going to be disqualified from the competition, she was really anxious. If her parents knew that her hard-earned qualification was revoked because of a few words, they would definitely beat her to death. So she was scared and apologized quickly, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called you guys bumpkins. It's my fault."
"It's good that you know you're wrong. Just keep quiet next time. I don't like to hear it."
Wen Zhu finished speaking and looked at Wen Manman. "This classmate Wen Manman from the city, your classmates all said she was wrong, won't you apologize?"
Wen Manman looked at Wen Zhu in disbelief, "I was just trying to stop the fight, why should I apologize too?"
Wen Zhu said, "Because you're creating class antagonism, I'm afraid that the vast majority of my fellow farmers will feel disheartened. The city has the great working class, and the village has the great farmers. These two groups are making progress together, but because of your words 'city people' and 'country people', I, a farmer's child, feel disrespected. Actually, the apology isn't to me, but to the vast majority of my fellow farmers!"
The people around also nodded in agreement.
Wen Manman didn't know this "Xu Niannian." She didn't know where all these twisted theories came from, but she still remembered those dark days. She didn't want to be accused of creating class antagonism.
So I had no choice but to apologize with red eyes, "I'm sorry, I will be more careful with my words next time."
Wen Zhu nodded, "Indeed, otherwise you would have offended many people with your words. I am just giving you a friendly reminder because we are both students."
Wen Manman could hardly hold back her ladylike demeanor and wanted to curse.
Chen Wenjun quickly grabbed Wen Manman's arm and said to her, "Manman, let's go back to the classroom. The exam venue is in our school anyway, and we are very familiar with it. There is no need to waste time here."
Wu Xiaoyun also felt ashamed and quickly pulled Wen Manman away.
Wen Manman really felt that this "Xu Niannian" was really from the countryside. She was completely shameless, unforgiving, and loud. Like a shrew, she yelled and made her lose face and lose face.
It was embarrassing to stand here, so she nodded with red eyes in grievance, and prepared to leave surrounded by her good sisters.
Only Wen Zhu continued to shout with a serious face, "Hey, hey, don't go! Let's talk some more.
I don't mean anything else, I just want to show you some kindness.
"Alas, why are you still angry? Didn't you say this was a way of expressing goodwill? Oh, I really don't understand city people!"
He shook his head helplessly.
The people watching were all the students and teachers who had come to compete. Those who could participate in the math competition were the top students from each school. No one was stupid, and they could clearly see who was right and who was wrong.
Pointing at Wen Manman and his group.
"It's just that they look down on us from such a small place. What's so great about that?"
"My dear classmate, you are amazing! I can only say no, but I can't explain the reasoning. You are really good at using the same method against me!"
Some teachers from the school nodded and greeted them, and some students gave Wen Zhu a thumbs up.
Wen Zhu, still in the act, stretched out Erkang's hand and continued to shout, "Classmate Wen Manman, classmate Wen Manman, classmate Wu Xiaoyun, you country bumpkins from the city, walk slower, don't fall!"
There was laughter all around.
Wen Manman, who had already left, twisted her foot and almost fell. Then she quickly stood up, without looking back, and quickened her pace to leave this troubled place.
I feel like I didn't check the almanac before going out and met an unlucky star. Everything goes wrong every time I meet her.
"That's enough. If you continue, it will be too much."
Teacher Lin naturally knew that Wen Zhu was just trying to annoy those people, but there was no trace of blame in his tone.
A few more people wearing No. 1 Middle School uniforms passed by.
Because of what happened before, everyone looked at them with strange eyes and no good impression.
The tall, short-haired girl in the lead explained to everyone, "Don't mistake me for them. I'm not familiar with her. We're wearing the same clothes, and it's just a school rule. We're the successors of communism, and we absolutely don't discriminate."
"That's right, we're not familiar with them!" another girl next to her echoed.
Because of the neutral sports uniform, many people couldn't tell the gender of this tall student. When they saw her, they quickly walked over and took Wen Zhu's hand, their eyes looking a little strange. They wandered back and forth between the two of them.
"Wen Zhu, you're also participating in the math competition. What a coincidence! We're destined to meet! Let's go, I'll take you to eat some snacks in Liren Lane today!"
"Fang He, are you also participating in the math competition? That's quite fate. But it might not be convenient for me to go eat with you today. I have to obey the teacher's arrangements. I will definitely try it next time I have the chance!"
When Fang Hebu deliberately held his voice high, it was obvious that he was speaking in a female voice. Everyone then realized that this handsome-looking "young man" was actually a grown-up girl.
"Okay then." Fang He's voice was full of regret.
Wen Zhu said goodbye to Fang He and left with Teacher Lin and the others.
