Ma Xiu Lan grabbed Lu Wenying and threw her to the ground, but was stopped by Zhang Jianxun. Somehow, the slap landed on Zhang Jianxun's face.
In fact, as a son, Zhang Jianxun always felt bad when he saw his mother being beaten, but he also knew that he was sorry for Ma Xiulan and her daughter, so he took the initiative to put his face under Ma Xiulan's palm.
"Aunt, if you hit me, I'll take the blame for my mother. My mother is blinded by greed and won't listen to me. Beat me to death and I won't hold you responsible."
After saying that, he pulled Ma Xiu Lan's hand and hit himself in the face.
Seeing her son hurting her like this, Lu Wenying's eyes widened:
"Jianxun, what are you doing? Stop hitting yourself."
Zhang Jianxun was desperate: "My mother is making trouble and won't listen to anything I say. What can I do?"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xingmin felt very sorry for Zhang Jianxun. He held Ma Xiu Lan's arm tightly and looked at her pleadingly.
He choked up and said, "Mom, Comrade Zhang has helped me many times. This is not his fault."
Ma Xiu Lan saw that she would take the last exam in just over ten minutes, so this matter had to be resolved quickly. It must not affect the exam, and Xingmin must not be allowed to collapse.
Because she just realized that her daughter might have some feelings for Zhang Jianxun, and now is not the time to argue with Zhang Jianxun's mother. After listening to what Xingmin said, she pulled her hand out of Zhang Jianxun's hand with force, but since it concerns her daughter's reputation, she must ask clearly and let Lu Wenying apologize on the spot.
He said sternly to Lu Wenying:
"You big sister, you're full of shit, why are you slandering my daughter? You need evidence when you speak."
When Lu Wenying heard Ma Xiu Lan say that she was full of shit, she was about to get angry, but was suppressed by Zhang Jianxun.
"Mom, why do you say that about Comrade Zhao?" In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Jianxun was talking about Comrade Zhao.
Seeing the red slap marks on her son's face, Lu Wenying had no choice but to hold back her anger:
"I heard that the gay man she hooked up with was completely obsessed with her and was willing to pay 1,100 yuan to marry her, but she refused. Isn't this just to climb up the social ladder?"
There were gasps all around. So much betrothal gifts!
Ma Xiulan knew she was talking about Zhang Guojie's previous proposal: "That man was a second-married man with no job and he beat his wife. Even if he offered a large gift, we wouldn't agree."
Zhao Xingmin wiped her tears and began to defend herself loudly, saying that her mother had been working hard for her and she could no longer be immersed in embarrassment and pain.
"I used to work at the supply and marketing cooperative. He only came to buy things a few times, in front of people coming and going. How could I possibly do anything to a gay man? If I had done something like that, the supply and marketing cooperative would have definitely quit me long ago."
People around were talking about it, "Maybe she has been hooking up with that guy in private for a long time."
"You're stupid. If a man can get a girl, who would be willing to pay such a high bride price?"
"This girl is pretty. Maybe that divorced man has his eye on her."
"It's not her fault that she's pretty."
"I remember now. I met her at the supply and marketing cooperative. She was a very honest salesperson."
"I used to work in the logistics department of the supply and marketing cooperative, and I never heard of her doing anything out of the ordinary."
Seeing that everyone started to speak up for Zhao Xingmin, Lu Wenying put her hands on her hips and continued to complain: "But I also heard that she touched the hands of male customers when she was working at the supply and marketing cooperative."
The man who had just started working in the supply and marketing cooperative's logistics department spoke up: "I know this. It was a misunderstanding. That man deliberately framed Comrade Zhao."
Lu Wenying didn't believe it: "You are not deliberately speaking for her because you think Zhao is pretty."
The man was so angry that he jumped up and down: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Jianxun directly denied Lu Wenying's speculation:
"I was there at the time. I saw the male customer deliberately harm her. Two other salespeople also saw it. Mom, if you don't believe me, I'll take you to find those two salespeople."
"Ah" Lu Wenying was dumbfounded.
Ma Xiulan grabbed Lu Wenying's hand and said sternly, "You ruined my daughter's reputation without knowing right from wrong and even slapped her. You must apologize to my daughter right now in front of everyone."
Lu Wenying felt that the previous things were fake and misunderstandings, but it was true that this girl and her son were kissing and cuddling in the police station, causing her son to be suspended from his job. However, she also knew that this could not be mentioned in public, otherwise it would be like killing a thousand enemies and losing ten thousand of her own.
The girl just lost a good partner, but her son lost his future.
So she could only apologize as Zhao Xingmin's mother wished. She glanced at the candidates and parents around her who were staring at her. It would be so embarrassing to apologize in front of so many people.
Seeing Ma Xiulan glaring at her, she glared back:
"I misunderstood what I just said, but who knows, maybe she has feelings for my son too? I'm telling you, that's impossible. My son deserves better."
She said this to let them know that if they still wanted to cling to her son, they should let her go now and stop insisting on her apologizing in public.
Zhang Jianxun poked Lu Wenying angrily: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about."
Zhao Xingmin wilted like a cat whose tail was poked.
Ma Xiu Lan looked at the watch on Zhao Xingmin's hand. There were still seven or eight minutes before the college entrance examination began, so it had to be resolved quickly.
She stared at Lu Wenying and said, "You beat someone in public and slandered my daughter's reputation. Even after knowing that it was slander, you refused to apologize. As a family member of a police officer, your ideological awareness is not enough.
Aren't you afraid that this matter will become a big deal and affect your son's future? If you ruin your son's future, those outstanding daughters-in-law you like won't be able to enter your house either."
