Qin Diao was still upset because Xiao Moyan had been bullied by the school teacher, and at this moment, Qin Diao's heart was cold.
How much supplies and money did the Qin family donate to China's war of resistance? But in the end, they were not only labeled as capitalists, but even their own children couldn't have a single day of peace.
Although she was furious, Qin Diao didn't want to escalate the situation. She felt she had to consider Xiao Moyan's reputation, so she went directly to the county government compound. She wanted to find the newly appointed county head to intervene and give them justice.
However, no matter how Qin Diao pleaded with the gatekeeper, he wouldn't let her in or allow her into the government compound.
"Go away, go away, go away quickly. The county magistrate is so busy every day, how can he have time to care about your family's trivial matters? Go back home if you have nothing to do, don't cause trouble here."
Qin Diao clung to the door frame at the gatehouse, pleading, "Please, please tell the county magistrate that I am Qin Diao. I really have something important to discuss with him."
The old gatekeeper became even more impatient. "Looking for the county magistrate? What right do I have to look for the county magistrate? You'd better leave now, or I'll call the security department to kick you out."
Qin Diao repeatedly asked for help, but the gatekeeper refused to assist him. In the end, Qin Diao had no choice but to leave.
She walked down the street hand in hand with Xiao Moyan, watching the endless stream of people, many of whom recognized them and cast disgusted glances their way. Qin Diao looked around, wondering what her Qin family had done wrong to deserve such humiliation.
No, this time Qin Diao will not back down, absolutely not! Since she can't see the county magistrate, she can only make a big scene. She can't go to the Red Army Association; she heard that the teacher surnamed Chen is the brother-in-law of the Red Army Association's director.
What good would it do for her to report this to the Red Army Society given this relationship? But Qin Diao absolutely refused to just endure it. She had accepted all the bitterness and grievances before, but today, she absolutely could not swallow her granddaughter's suffering in silence.
Qin Diao stood in the middle of the street, gazing up at the sky, her gaze circling repeatedly. Today, even if her entire Qin family perished, she would tear off the Chen family's mask of shame. If she couldn't get justice for her granddaughter, what difference would it make where she went?
This shadow will haunt Yan Yan for the rest of her life. A lifetime. She doesn't want her child to live such a miserable life. It's better to be dead than that. At least, death is clean!
Having figured it out, Qin Diao squatted down, looking Yan Yan in the eye, and asked, "Yan Yan, if everyone finds out that guy surnamed Chen tried to bully you, are you scared?"
Yan Yan sensed the fearless aura emanating from her grandmother. She didn't know what her grandmother was going to do, but she wasn't afraid. She had heard countless harsh words before; what did a few more matter?
How many of those who look down on them are good people? They keep saying they are the children of capitalists, but they are poor peasants, how much better are they than these capitalists?
They're like wolves in sheep's clothing. Every day they want to tear pieces of flesh from them.
"Grandma, I'm not afraid." Yan Yan's eyes were firm.
Qin Diao laughed, holding Xiao Moyan's hand, her anger seemingly about to ignite her entire being, yet her steps became increasingly steady as she walked straight toward the school.
At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: since asking others for justice wouldn't bring her fairness, she would seek justice for her granddaughter herself.
On the way, Qin Diao bought a large piece of white cloth from the supply and marketing cooperative, bit his finger, and wrote several large characters on it: "Chen Qian is a beast! He tried to commit indecent acts against an eight-year-old girl! This is an outrage against humanity!"
Qin Diao carried the bloodstained white cloth forward on two wooden sticks, with Yan Yan following silently beside him.
How could such a combination not attract attention? When everyone saw the words on the white cloth, their hearts skipped a beat.
"Could the Chen Qian she's talking about be the Chen Qian we know?"
"Tch, who else could it be but him? Who else would dare to do something so beastly? He's just relying on his connections..."
The person next to him quickly nudged his side, "Alright, alright, just know that, don't talk nonsense. Let's go and see."
The onlookers tacitly understood the situation, but they dared not comment openly at this time. They didn't know how far things would develop, and if the Red Army came later, they might be implicated.
As more and more people gathered, parents waiting to pick up their children at the school gate turned to look at the commotion. When they saw what was on the white cloth, their expressions changed drastically.
The previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent. Upon reaching the school gate, Qin Diao took a deep breath and roared at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, come and see! Chen Qian, a teacher at this school, actually dragged my granddaughter to his dormitory after school to bully her! He's a beast, a monster!"
Who's going to do something about this?!
Her voice was sharp and shrill, like a razor-sharp blade, instantly piercing the eardrums of the noisy crowd. Those who had been hesitant immediately fell silent, and the school gate became even quieter. Those who hadn't seen what was happening were drawn by the sudden shout and turned to look at her with surprise.
Xiao Moyan kept her head down, her small body hiding behind Qin Diao, her hands tightly gripping Qin Diao's clothes, her whole body trembling, her eyes filled with tears of fear and grievance.
Qin Diao sensed her granddaughter's fear and gently patted her hand, trying to offer some comfort. Then, she raised her voice and tearfully recounted the details of Xiao Moyan being bullied by her teacher, Chen Qian, every word filled with anger and resentment.
