Duan Xueting broke school rules and got into a fight, so she definitely had to ask her family for help.
When her father heard her say that she was such a fussy person, he was about to lose his temper.
Duan Xueting: "Dad, this isn't my fault!"
Qu Hongbin is smearing me without any evidence!
If I don't go and fight, everyone will really think I did it!
If everyone thinks that way, not only me, but our family's reputation will be ruined.
I don't even know what Commander Shen looks like now, and I'm bullying someone's daughter!
And they were smashing boiling water on people!
How could I do something so cruel!
Qu Hongbin actually framed me like this, how could I not fight back?
If I don't fight back, wouldn't that be tantamount to me admitting it?
I cannot admit to doing something I didn't do, not even for the sake of my family!
On the other end of the phone: "Okay, I got it!"
The Duan family's power depends on who they are compared to. A family like Qu Hongbin's doesn't even need to be compared.
If this matter is misunderstood, the impact will indeed be very bad.
Shen Ruomei and Duan Xueting are both from military families, isn't this going to cause conflict between their two families...?
Duan Xueting could give a whole list of reasons to support this argument.
The school teachers were also very angry, because one student accidentally burned another student.
The parties involved haven't said anything, so why are you, a bystander, jumping in...?
Qu Hongbin never expected that his attempt to flatter had backfired, and that the matter wouldn't end there, instead causing him further trouble.
Duan Xueting's parents arrived in the afternoon, demanding that the school protect their daughter's reputation.
Duan Xueting's father did not leave until the school leaders assured him that they would treat the matter with care.
When school ended today, Xia Juntao and several classmates came to see Chen Ruomei.
Several female classmates were chattering with Shen Ruomei, and Xia Juntao couldn't push his way up.
He didn't get a chance to speak to Shen Ruomei; he put down the apples he was carrying and left.
When Xia Juntao came again, Liu Shuhong took advantage of the time she had and bought some things to visit Chen Ruomei.
When Xia Juntao arrived on Sunday, news came from the hospital that Shen Changchuan had regained consciousness.
The whole family was overjoyed by the news, and Shen Ruomei and Yueyue were so happy they were practically beside themselves. They insisted on going to the hospital immediately to check on her.
Shen Ruomei has difficulty moving around, but she has Di Minxia by her side.
Xia Juntao was genuinely happy.
After watching their car drive away, Xia Juntao's initial joy faded, and he felt a sense of loss.
During his three visits, Shen Ruomei did not say a single word to him.
Perhaps it was because there was no opportunity, or perhaps it was a polite way of saying no.
He glanced back at Song Yan's front door. Perhaps he should come less often in the future. Otherwise, he and Shen Ruomei wouldn't even be able to remain classmates.
Xia Juntao's family used to have a neighbor who worked at the same workplace as his parents.
His youngest daughter is the same age as him. They grew up together, went to school together, and were classmates.
In those days, their family suffered the same fate.
Their families used connections to get them all sent to the countryside, specifically to a production brigade.
They were true childhood sweethearts.
City kids who have never done farm work find it really hard to endure the heavy labor and harsh environment in the countryside.
At that time, the two of them encouraged and cared for each other.
Although they haven't publicly acknowledged their relationship, they've been together for so many years that they both know what kind of relationship they have.
Xia Juntao truly believed they would stay together forever.
But just a few months later, the village chief's son asked someone to act as matchmaker, and she agreed.
When they met again, she said she wanted to live a good life and asked Xia Juntao not to bother her.
Their childhood friendship couldn't withstand a few months of hardship; Xia Juntao's sadness far outweighed his feelings for her.
He laughed at his own foolishness, saying that couples turning against each other and fathers and sons turning against each other were commonplace.
Besides, Xia Juntao isn't so spineless as to keep pestering her.
She felt that marrying the village chief's son would allow her to avoid working in the fields and do light work.
It's not easy for a girl from the city to adapt to family life in the countryside.
Rural women have to take care of their husbands, children, and the elderly, and they do housework from morning till night.
Moreover, she didn't know much about the village chief's son; in rural areas, it's all too common for men to beat their wives.
She argued with her mother-in-law and was beaten. She ran back to the educated youth settlement and cried to herself. Xia Juntao really didn't feel any pity. She had walked her own path and chosen her own way.
But somehow the village chief's son found out about it and actually said that Xia Juntao had seduced his wife.
Xia Juntao will definitely not admit to this, but his denial doesn't mean others will believe him.
The village chief's son even questioned her about whether such a thing had happened.
She said she didn't, and that Xia Juntao was the one who took the initiative to talk to her and greet her.
During those six months, he was constantly given the cold shoulder. He was made to do the hardest work and receive the fewest work points.
Xia Juntao knew his identity and his situation.
The village chief is like a local tyrant in the village; I certainly can't resist him.
He kept quiet and endured it all, and everyone thought he was a coward.
His forbearance made them all overlook him, but one day, Xia Juntao finally caught the village chief red-handed.
The village chief had an ambiguous relationship with a widow in the village, and that day Xia Juntao caught them in bed together.
He made the village chief write a confession.
The village chief certainly won't write it obediently.
You don't have to write it, but I'll call people right now and let everyone see you two completely naked.
The village chief said he would write after he put on his clothes.
How could Xia Juntao possibly agree to that?
In this way, he gained leverage over the village chief.
The village chief promised him that he would gradually make up for the work points that had been withheld from him.
I won't deliberately bully him anymore.
Xia Juntao also assured him that as long as he was treated fairly, he would be a hard-working person.
He will forget what happened today forever.
If he gets further harassed, things could turn out very differently.
The village chief would definitely not tell his family about this.
One day, the village chief's son discovered that Xia Juntao no longer had to do the hardest work, and he complained about it in front of everyone.
She was there at the time, what did she say?
The educated youth went to the countryside to support the country's construction, so they shouldn't be afraid of hardship or fatigue. They shouldn't just pick the easy tasks...
From then on, he never thought about love or romance again.
He rejected all the other female educated youths who showed interest in him. He just wanted to live his life peacefully.
