Chapter 127127 [Two updates combined into one]

After a while, Jiang's father called again. Jiang Xi picked up the phone: "Hello? Hello? What did you say?" and hung up the phone again. This

happened several times in a row. Even the teachers were surprised. They came over to check the phone line, picked up the receiver and put it to their ears, listening to the beeping sound inside: "It was fine before, why can't I hear any sound?"

Jiang Xi nodded to the teacher in confusion and said: "Maybe the signal over there is not good?"

After waiting for a while, when she saw that the phone didn't call again, Jiang Xi thanked her teacher and went back to class.

Jiang Xi felt that her expression at this moment must be very similar to the vicious female supporting role or the villain in the TV series, but so what? She wouldn't change anyway.

When Jiang's father heard that the signal was bad, he was also surprised. However, he had already made several calls, but he couldn't hear clearly. When he made the last call, the teacher on the other end of the phone just picked up the phone receiver and put it to his ear. He called but the line was busy, so he didn't call again.

He would feel bad if he called again.

Now it costs 50 cents a minute to make a call, and he just made several calls and spent several yuan.

He only makes a few cents from a lunch box, and he would have to sell ten lunch boxes to make back the money from those calls.

There has been no news, The brigade secretary was also worried and called Jiang's father. Jiang's father was also helpless after receiving the call from the brigade secretary. He said, "I called seven or eight times, but the phone at No. 1 Middle School was either busy or the signal was bad. When I spoke, they couldn't hear what I was saying."

He even suspected that his accent had been tainted by the Shenzhen dialect, otherwise why couldn't they hear me clearly? He sighed, "I'm in Shenzhen City, it takes several days to go back by train. I can't go back. You can go to her school to look for her. Xiaoxiao is very easy to talk to. If you tell her, she will definitely not care. "

In Jiang's father's eyes, Jiang Xiao's killing without saying a word was a bit intense, but in his heart, she is still the obedient little girl, with a soft heart. As long as the team leader says that he said it, Jiang Xiao will definitely forgive him. The

team secretary was speechless. If he could get into No. 1 Middle School and see Jiang Xiao, why would he look for him?

After hanging up the phone, he thought of Grandpa Jiang who had taken care of Jiang Xiao since she was a child, and went to look for Grandpa Jiang again.

He had only heard from the villagers that Grandpa Jiang was begging for food in Wucheng by picking up rags and rags. Jiang Hehua went back and told them, and he learned that Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Bai had rented a shop in front of No. 1 Middle School to sell clothes.

Although he didn't know which shop it was, since it was in front of No. 1 Middle School, he quickly found Grandpa Jiang.

Grandpa Jiang didn't know about the school rumors yet. When the brigade secretary came to his house, he politely made tea for the brigade secretary.

The brigade secretary bought a lot of fruits and cakes, and after putting them down, he politely said that he didn't need any, and that he was here to see Jiang Xiu. "Xiu Xiu and He Hua had a misunderstanding, and I'm here to apologize to Xiu Xiu on behalf of He Hua."

Grandpa Jiang put down his tea, sat back on the recliner, and smiled: "What misunderstanding? Do you need to apologize? It's just a little thing between children, let them handle it themselves, why bother? Do you need to apologize?"

The brigade secretary roughly explained what happened and said, "This is really a misunderstanding. Who knew those students would be so talkative? A student from No. 1 Middle School heard about it and told Xixi, and they had a fight. Xixi called the police and also involved my daughter Hehua."

When Grandpa Jiang heard that Jiang Xi was beaten by a male classmate, he couldn't sit still. He was afraid that something had happened to Jiang Xi, so he hurried to No. 1 Middle School to inquire about the situation. The

brigade secretary then met Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi had known for a long time that the brigade secretary would definitely come to find her. Her family's store had been open in front of No. 1 Middle School for such a long time, and she didn't believe that Jiang Hehua would not see him for so long. So she had already expected that the brigade secretary would go to find Grandpa Jiang and then find her through Grandpa Jiang. She also deliberately didn't meet him before and only met him when Grandpa came to look for her.

Seeing that she was fine, Grandpa Jiang asked her in confusion: "I just heard from the brigade secretary that you were beaten by a boy. Are you hurt anywhere? Let's go find the teacher. How can a boy beat a girl?"

Jiang Xi glanced at the brigade secretary, then smiled and said to Grandpa Jiang coquettishly: "Grandpa, don't worry, there was no fight, just a few quarrels, and the teacher has punished them." She rolled up her sleeves, revealing two white arms: "Look, there is no injury, right?"

Grandpa Jiang was afraid that Jiang Xi was injured, so he didn't dare to tell him. After Jiang Xi repeatedly assured him that he was really fine, he went back worriedly. After

watching Grandpa Jiang walk away, Jiang Xi looked at the brigade secretary with a cold look.

At this moment, Jiang Xi showed a temperament that was not like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at all, but like an adult of his own age.

The brigade secretary was shocked and thought of Jiang Bai, whom he had met in his hometown during the summer vacation. This brother and sister had grown up so well without him noticing. It was obvious that they would have great futures.

His expression changed immediately, and he gave Jiang Wu the things in his hand, which were still fruit cakes, and said to Jiang Wu with emotion: "It's been a while since we last met, and you've grown so tall. I still remember when you first started school, you went to school with He Hua, and you were half a head shorter than her. Now you're half a head taller than her."

Jiang Wu ignored his words that were trying to make connections, and said: "You know that your He Hua spread rumors about me behind my back, right?"

The brigade secretary blushed and apologized to Jiang Wu, saying: "This is actually a misunderstanding. He Hua didn't mean it. She didn't say it clearly, so others misunderstood. But this matter was caused by her after all. I apologize to you on behalf of my He Hua, Xing Xing..."

"Call me Jiang Xi." Jiang Xi's voice was very cold: "According to the seniority, I should have called you second uncle. It doesn't matter whether He Hua spread such rumors unintentionally or intentionally. What's important is how fatal the damage this incident has brought to me. Do you know how people in the school and Wuzhong say about me now? You also know why those boys suddenly attacked me? It's all because of your He Hua who spread rumors about me behind my back. But as the brigade secretary, you know the truth best!"

She said: "If I let it go easily this time, then What will others say about me in the future? Will they say that this rumor is the truth? Otherwise, why did the police release her? Then how can I study in this school in the future? How will my classmates, teachers, and people outside look at me? My reputation is ruined. I don’t even know if I can get married in the future, let alone go to college.

She pointed to the top of her head and said, "Second uncle, did you see the banner above?"

The brigade secretary didn't know what she was talking about. He took two steps back and looked up at the gate. Only then did he see the banner above: [Congratulations to our school student Jiang Liu for winning the provincial first prize in the provincial mathematics competition]

Jiang Liu, provincial first prize!

He finally knew why his daughter was doing such little tricks and making such rumors behind his back. Sometimes, even he couldn't help but feel jealous when he looked at the three outstanding children born by the big man, not to mention his daughter. The three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family were indeed too outstanding.

This reminded him of his own youth.

When he was young, didn't he envy Jiang's father and his fourth brother who is now the mayor?

After seeing Jiang's father owe a huge debt because of a plague, didn't he take pleasure in misfortune?

Seeing that his father, who was born in the village and was tall and handsome and had a chicken farm, had to leave his hometown due to huge debts. He did not dare to spend the New Year at home and hid in the mountains to celebrate the New Year. However, he had been promoted to the position of brigade secretary, in charge of several villages of all sizes in the Linhe Brigade. Although the official position was not high, it was not small in such a small place.

The life experiences of these years made him understand that temporary glory does not represent lifelong glory, and temporary inferiority does not mean that you will be inferior to others for life.

He himself would sometimes be jealous of others, let alone He Hua, who was only 18 or 19 years old?

Jiang Xi said, "I just won the provincial first prize and was about to participate in the national competition to win honors for myself, No. 1 Middle School, and Wucheng. At this critical moment, such rumors suddenly appeared. I couldn't even study because of being pointed at by others."

She suddenly showed a sad look on her face: "I might have been selected by a key university and recommended, I put all my energy into the competition and achieved such good results that my academic performance in school was affected. I was about to be recommended for admission, but something like this happened at the critical moment. I have no intention of studying or competing. My life may be ruined by He Hua. You tell me that she didn't do it on purpose and ask me to forgive her?"

Jiang Gui's tears fell.

The security guard who was watching to see what this person wanted from Jiang Xi heard that the person who spread rumors about Jiang Xi was actually this person's daughter, and that he had the nerve to come to No. 1 Middle School to ask Jiang Xi to forgive that person. The security guard's face immediately darkened, and he drove him away: "We don't accept outsiders in No. 1 Middle School. It's class time now, don't come to our school and disturb the students!" He drove Jiang Xi away again: "Why don't you go back to class!"

Jiang Xi covered her mouth, cried and ran away in great sadness and despair.

The brigade secretary who was driven out by the security guard was left behind.

The brigade secretary originally thought that he could start with Jiang Xi, buy some things, send some food, say something nice, and apologize, and the matter would be resolved.

Apart from anything else, their family still lives in the village. If they really dare to quarrel with him, he can do anything to make her family suffer in the village. He can even give the job of patrolling the mountain to others.

But he really only thought about the punishment suffered by his He Hua in this matter, and did not think about the impact suffered by Jiang Xi in this matter.

A little girl was slandered and molested and insulted by several boys in the school because of this. Not to mention that she is only a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, any woman can't stand such a thing.

This is a complete feud with someone.

He really doesn't understand why He Hua is so confused. They are all from the same village, the same clan, and even the same clan sisters. If Jiang Xi is fine, isn't it a good thing for her? There is one more promising person in the village. From now on, everyone will help each other. Who can guarantee that he will not ask for help from others in his life?

Moreover, when it is not good and harms people, it is the time when the country is cracking down hard.

The brigade secretary was so angry with his daughter that he vomited blood.

When he returned, Hehua's mother asked him if he had seen Jiang Ning. The brigade secretary nodded tiredly as if he had been drained of energy: "Yes."

"What about Jiang Ning? Where's Hehua? Can Hehua be released?"

Jiang Hehua is still in detention. Hehua's mother is heartbroken and exhausted, but she doesn't dare to tell the people in the village. If this is known, Hehua's reputation will be ruined and her life will be over.

The brigade secretary sat down tiredly, waved his hands, shook his head and said, "It's useless."

"She won't give in? Lotus is going to jail, and she won't give in? We are from the same village and the same clan, how can she be so cruel? She is going to destroy Lotus!" Lotus's mother's delicate face, which was usually well-maintained, was now full of tears. She wiped the tears from her face carelessly, grabbed her small bag and walked out: "I'll go and beg her, I'll kneel at the gate of their No. 1 Middle School and beg her, I don't believe she won't give in!"

"It's useless!" The brigade secretary suddenly shouted loudly: "You only think that she called the police to ruin Hehua, why don't you think that it was your daughter who first made up dirty rumors behind her back and ruined her, how could she let Hehua out? This is a mortal enemy!"

Hehua's mother cried and said: "Why is she ruined? Isn't she still studying well in No. 1 Middle School? My Hehua is ruined for life!"

The brigade secretary asked her: "Just think about it, if you were spread with such rumors in the village and bullied by several boys in the school , do you still have the heart to study? Do you know? Jiang Qi just won the first prize in the provincial competition and is about to participate in the national competition. That is to win glory for our village, for our Wucheng and even for our province. At this juncture, He Hua spreads such rumors behind her back. How can she still have the heart to study, how can she still have the heart to compete? "Although

the brigade secretary did not go to school when he was young and relied on self-study, his son just got admitted to university and his daughter is also studying in high school. He is very clear about the high school entrance examinations.

He said dejectedly: "Jiang Xi could have been recommended for admission through the competition. Now in this situation, she may not be able to go to college. Do you think she will let He Hua go?"

He Hua's mother sat on the stone step at the door, slapping her thighs and crying loudly: "This suicidal girl, why did she spread such rumors? Why did she care about other people's affairs? I have told her many times, every time I come back, I tell her to study hard and get into a good university. Why did she do this behind her back?"

The brigade secretary also fell on the table dejectedly.

He Hua's mother wiped the tears from her face and said: "I will beg her!"

He Hua's mother is not a fool. Of course, she knows how to use public opinion to force Jiang Xi to let Jiang He Hua go.

The brigade secretary had no other choice. He originally wanted to ask Grandpa Jiang to mediate, but he was afraid that after using such means, Jiang Xi would be even more unwilling to give in. Moreover, if Grandpa Jiang knew about this, would he really help to mediate? He was afraid that he would beat him up.

If this happened to him, his daughter was slandered like this, and everyone in the two schools knew about it, affecting his daughter's grades. He would probably want to kill the person, let alone help to mediate. Not beating him up would be the least of his worries.

But he couldn't just sit there and watch his daughter go to jail.

Lotus' mother knelt at the gate of No. 1 Middle School for two days and begged for two days, but she did not see Jiang Xi. Instead, everyone in Wuzhong and No. 1 Middle School knew that the person who spread the rumor about Jiang Xi was her daughter. And because of the rumor, Jiang Xi reported it to the police. Now she has been arrested by the police and may face several years in prison.

That's why her mother came to the gate of No. 1 Middle School and knelt down to beg Jiang Xi to let the girl go.

In a short time, not only did the rumors about Jiang Xi disappear, but the whole No. 1 Middle School, Wu Middle School, and even No. 2 Middle School and No. 4 Middle School on the next street heard about it.

Now, not only did they not dare to spread rumors or bully anymore, but for many years, because of the impact of this incident, no such thing happened in Wu Middle School and No. 1 Middle School.

The school leaders of No. 1 Middle School and Wu Middle School also invited the police who investigated Jiang Yueqin to come to No. 1 Middle School and Wu Middle School and explained the investigation in detail in front of all the students. They then learned that there was indeed a girl who was abducting and trying to trick Jiang Yu and some other girls to go to that place. Jiang Yu was smart and not only exposed the girl's scam in public, but also rescued several girls who were almost deceived like Jiang Yu.

In fact, it was not only Jiang Hehua's family who was in a state of panic, but also the family of the expelled boy was struck by a bolt from the blue.

He was a student from a town near Wucheng. The high school in their town was a good one, just like No. 2 High School. Like Jiang Xi, he was admitted to No. 1 High School by a narrow margin. It was very difficult to get into No. 1 High School. In the words of the locals, getting into Wuzhong No. 1 High School was equivalent to having one foot in the door of college. But he was expelled.

They went to No. 1 High School to make trouble, and No. 1 High School directly accused their son of spreading rumors about other female students in school and insulting the girls in person with dirty words.

The gatekeeper simply refused to let them in and locked the gate tightly. He said to them through the big iron gate: "A student who is a top student in the county and won the first prize in the province has been insulted by your son. This is simply ruining the school spirit of our school. If such people are not expelled, they will all follow suit. Our students will not need to study anymore. What kind of school would that be?"

"A fly won't bite an egg without cracks. If she does it cleanly, will my son say anything? I think she is a bad person. You actually protect such a person. I don't think you can do anything clean!" Parents who can raise a son who bullies his classmates are not much better. The fault is others'. Their own children are innocent.

The security guard called the police directly.

When the parents heard that the police were called, they went to the police station because of their son's matter. When they heard that the girl who spread the rumor was still in prison and might go to jail, they were scared and dared not make trouble at the gate of No. 1 Middle School again. After

such a thing happened, they had to hurry up and find a way to transfer their son to the high school in the town.

But the boy was first beaten to the ground by a girl who was not as tall or as strong as him. She slapped him hard in front of all the teachers, and then he was called to the police station, almost detained, and expelled from the school.

Not only did he feel ashamed in No. 1 Middle School, but he also felt ashamed in his hometown after being expelled from No. 1 Middle School. Even though his parents used their connections to get him into the high school in their town, most of the students in that high school were his former classmates, all of whom knew him. He felt even more ashamed and had no intention of studying.

People like him were not originally interested in studying, and with the severe crackdown in Wucheng, all the hooligans in the city ran to the towns below. The first to be hit were the towns closest to Wucheng, where all kinds of hooligans gathered. He was originally influenced by the hooligans in the town and had some hooligans' habits, otherwise he would not have bullied girls in school and even wanted to rape Jiang Xi. Although Jiang Xi did not let them succeed in his previous life, he had such an idea, otherwise he would not have said such words as asking Jiang Xi to sleep with them.

He had no interest in studying and skipped classes every day to hang out with hooligans in Internet cafes, game halls, and dance halls. After learning how to gamble, he was arrested when the police were investigating an underground casino. Because of the severe beating, he was imprisoned for several years before he was released.

Jiang Hehua was also severely beaten because Jiang Xi refused to give in. She was also over 18 years old. It was just a little girl's thoughts, but she was sentenced to three years. This made Hehua's mother and the brigade secretary hate Jiang Xi's family. However, Jiang Xi, Jiang Bo, and Jiang Ye's household registration were transferred to Shanghai, and they could not come back once a year. Jiang's father and mother worked in Shenzhen and only came back during the Chinese New Year. There was no news of Jiang Song in his previous life for several years, and later he settled in a place thousands of miles away. He didn't come back for several years, so he couldn't affect him at all.

Because Uncle Jiang's family was a mason, they didn't take jobs in the village, or even in the Linhe Brigade. The brigade secretary couldn't control his family. Because there was a river between them, even the demolition was not the Linhe Brigade's turn. The most he could do was to block them with the homestead.

But in the final analysis, this matter was caused by Jiang Hehua herself. She was stupid enough to make trouble during the crackdown, which led to her being imprisoned for three years.

After learning the result, Jiang Hehua regretted it and cried bitterly, but it was useless.

No matter what others said, Hehua's mother and the brigade secretary used both soft and hard tactics, no matter how they begged or how much money they spent, Jiang Hehua just wouldn't give in.

No one could forgive on her behalf.

As long as she thought about the countless times in her past life when she was forced to the point of almost dying, and how she almost became a horrifying social case, and the nightmares she had in her past life for many years, she could not forgive.

It's not that no one has said that Jiang Xi was too cruel, and that Jiang Hehua's three-year sentence was too cruel, and that it was a small matter and didn't really have a big impact on Jiang Xi, and it shouldn't be that serious. Even teachers came to persuade her, saying that Wuzhong had already expelled the student, her reputation was cleared, and those boys were also expelled, and those who were given serious demerits were given serious demerits, and they all got the punishment they deserved.

Jiang Xi always looked at them with a faint smile, looked into their eyes quietly, listened to them quietly, and looked at them until they could not continue talking, then asked them with a smile: "So if others tried to harm me secretly but failed, should I forgive them?"

They thought that such a thing would at least have an impact on Jiang Xi, and as a result, in the monthly exam a few days later, Jiang Xi once again ranked first in the grade.
