Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue stood outside the door for a while. Ruan Xi said, "No one should cook tonight. Looking at the situation, we may not even be able to eat. How about we go make dumplings?"
Since they were planning to come out and relax anyway, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue had no objection, and they went into the kitchen with Ruan Xi to make dumplings.
Ruan Jie was rolling the dumpling skins with a rolling pin, while Ruan Xi and Ruan Qiuyue were pinching the dumplings and wrapping the fillings beside her.
Feng Xiuying made two kinds of dumpling fillings, pork and celery and leek and egg, both of which smelled quite delicious.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Qiuyue packed one each and placed them on the panel, arranging them neatly like a small white boat sail.
Feng Xiuying took Ruan Hongjun on a bike and found the neighborhood committee with Ruan Hongjun's guidance.
When she hurried there, Ruan Changfu and the teachers from the school's discipline department had just arrived.
Feng Xiuying didn't believe that Ye Qiuwen had done anything shameful. When she arrived, she immediately said to the old lady director of the neighborhood committee: "Director, you must have made a mistake. Our two children have always been the best. How could they do such a thing?"
The old ladies in the neighborhood committee were not willing to give anyone face, especially the director. She looked at Feng Xiuying and said, "We saw them being caught with our own eyes. How can you say we made a mistake? They were hugging each other and kissing. I am embarrassed to say anything more detailed. Why don't you ask them to speak for themselves?"
Hearing this, Feng Xiuying's face immediately turned green.
Ruan Changfu couldn't hold back his anger when he heard this, and he walked up to Ye Qiuwen and slapped her in the face.
The slap was so heavy and loud that finger marks instantly appeared on Ye Qiuwen's face. The hair on the side of her forehead was also blown apart, falling down to cover half of her face. No matter how much pain she felt, she didn't dare to make a sound. She bit her lips and her eyes were filled with tears.
Lu Yuanzheng was not a coward. He stood in front of her and said to Ruan Changfu, "Uncle, don't hit her. It's my fault."
Ruan Changfu's face was dark, his eyes were black, and his voice was like rusty iron. "Shut up! You have no place to talk here!"
If he hadn't been thinking about his parents, he would have punched and slapped them long ago!
The old ladies in the neighborhood committee had no sympathy for Ye Qiuwen. The director said, "You have a great responsibility as parents. I think you don't spank your child enough. You are so brave to do something like this at such an old age!"
Then he looked at the school leaders and said, "Your school also has a lot of responsibility! How did you teach these students? They are corrupting the morale! Doing such a thing in the park in broad daylight is shameless!"
The school leaders were so scolded that they could not even lift their heads. They could only say, "We do have a responsibility. We do have a responsibility."
Two students who have always performed the best, received the most attention and praise in the school did such a thing, and were caught by a bunch of old ladies from the neighborhood committee. The incident has already spread widely, and they really don't have the confidence to say anything else.
Either the matter does not go through the hands of the neighborhood committee, or if it goes through the hands of these old ladies in the neighborhood committee, it will definitely be known to everyone.
This kind of thing! So shameful! I wish I could bury my head in the concrete floor!
The school leaders couldn't hold their heads up, and as parents, Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying naturally couldn't hold their heads up even more. Feng Xiuying's face was almost buried in her stomach. They did not say a word when being scolded and educated by the old ladies from the neighborhood committee, they just listened.
After she finished scolding him, the old lady director said to the school leaders: "This kind of behavior that openly corrupts the morale and violates your school rules and regulations must be severely punished!"
The school leader nodded and said, "Don't worry, Director. They have made such a serious mistake, so they must be severely criticized, educated and punished. There are so many students in our school. If we don't punish them severely, won't they all follow suit?"
The director was relieved, "That's the truth."
Afterwards, Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying remained silent as they were too embarrassed to continue talking. These old ladies in the neighborhood committee have always looked down on everyone. They are old and have bad tempers, and will not give them any face.
After being criticized and scolded, they took Ye Qiuwen away.
As soon as I walked out of the neighborhood committee door, I ran into Lu Yuanzheng's parents coming over.
No matter how angry he was, he had to grit his teeth and say hello to his superior. Ruan Changfu had a stern face, simply said hello, and took Ye Qiuwen out of the neighborhood committee. Feng Xiuying and Ruan Hongjun followed behind, not daring to say another word.
Ruan Hongjun is usually talkative and noisy, but now he also knows how serious the nature of this matter is, just look at the slap that Ruan Changfu gave Ye Qiuwen just now. From childhood to adulthood, Ruan Changfu had never touched Ye Qiuwen, let alone hit her so hard.
After Ye Qiuwen's incident, her family could no longer hold their heads up in the compound, especially Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying. The higher they praised Ye Qiuwen in the past, the harder she fell this time.
From then on, their pride and their glory all turned into sharp swords, piercing their faces day and night.
If anyone else in the family had done this, they wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
Especially Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Feng Xiuying were all mentally prepared.
But she never thought that such a thing would actually happen in her family, and the person who did such a thing was not Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, whom she looked down upon, but Ye Qiuwen, who she believed would never make mistakes and would only bring honor to them and not embarrass them!
She even left the neighborhood committee in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her most trusted daughter would do such a thing and bring shame upon her.
When Ruan Changfu, Feng Xiuying and Ye Qiuwen arrived home, Ruan Xi and the others had just finished wrapping the dumplings. Just by looking at the faces of several people and Ye Qiuwen's swollen face, you can tell how bad the situation is, so there is no need to ask any more questions.
Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue didn't say anything, they just turned on the fire to boil water and cook the dumplings.
After the dumplings were cooked, they were placed on the table. Except for Ye Qiuwen who stayed in the room, everyone else sat down at the table.
Although the atmosphere at home has always been bad, today it is worse than ever.
Ruan Hongjun didn't dare to be naughty or make a fuss. He sat at the table with his head lowered, not even daring to pick up the chopsticks.
Ruan Qiuyang and Ye Fan were playing at a classmate's house in the afternoon and heard about this before they came back.
The old ladies in the neighborhood committee were very powerful, and the scandal spread almost as fast as a cannonball.
No one spoke at the table, and no one dared to reach out and pick up chopsticks.
After a long time, Ruan Changfu finally said, "Eat first."
Then the family members picked up their chopsticks one after another, picked up the dumplings and put them in their mouths to eat, but still no one dared to speak. Only Feng Xiuying did not eat. She lowered her head, hunched her waist, pursed her lips, and kept wiping away tears. She still refused to accept this.
Ruan Changfu had no appetite to begin with, and seeing her like this made him lose his appetite even less.
He slammed his chopsticks on the table, startling everyone present. Ruan Hongjun was so scared that he threw the dumplings he picked up back into the bowl, and his hands were shaking so much that he almost threw them onto the table.
Ruan Changfu slammed his chopsticks and yelled at Feng Xiuying: "Feng Xiuying, Feng Xiuying! You still have the nerve to cry here?! I've been away for more than five months, and I just came back yesterday and something like this happened to me today. I should be the one crying! What did I tell you to keep an eye on her before I left? Tell me what you have done in the past six months? What have you done?!"
Feng Xiuying was so frightened by him that she hunched her shoulders, burst into tears and didn't say a word.
Ruan Changfu was so angry that he slammed the table a few more times, and the force was so strong that it almost broke the table apart. "I clearly told you that there was something wrong with her! If you had discovered the problem earlier and solved it earlier, would this have happened?! Could this have happened?!"
Feng Xiuying lowered her head, hunched her shoulders and still said nothing. She had nothing to say.
Ruan Changfu couldn't hit her. He held back his anger for a while, then suddenly looked at Ruan Xi and asked loudly, "Tell me! Did you know about her love affair a long time ago? Did she lie to me the day I left on a business trip?!"
Ruan Xi was not afraid of him. She looked at him and said, "Why are you yelling at me? She and I are not familiar with each other. We don't even talk to each other every day. How can I know if she is in a relationship? She did lie that day, but would you believe me if I told you? Why would I make trouble for myself when I knew you wouldn't believe me? She turned around and accused me of framing her, and you turned around and accused me of making trouble for no reason. Whose fault is that?"
Ruan Changfu was blocked by Ruan Xi and was speechless.
Ruan Xi paused for a moment, glanced at Feng Xiuying and said bluntly: "Don't you know what I am like in her heart? In her heart, I am the one who would do such a thing! In her heart, Ye Qiuwen is the best in the world, she is her face and her pride! She won't believe you even if you ask her to pay attention, so what I say will be of any use? In her heart, everything I say is just jealousy and slander!"
Feng Xiuying buried her face in her chest, her fingers almost pinched to bleed, and she wished she would never speak to anyone again in her life.
Ruan Changfu really couldn't eat anymore, and there was nothing more to say, so he just got up and went back to the house.
He has to think twice before going out now, as he may not be able to bear the looks outside.
After Ruan Changfu left, Feng Xiuying didn't sit there any longer. She got up, went into the bathroom, locked herself in, and cried.
The atmosphere became better after the two men left. Ruan Xi ignored them and continued to eat dumplings with his head down. No one else said anything either. They all sat at the table in silence, eating dumplings, one bite with celery and pork, the other with leeks and eggs.
After dinner, Ruan Qiuyang didn’t dare go upstairs and went out directly to find Su Mengmeng.
She went to a deserted place with Su Mengmeng and sat down. She said to Su Mengmeng, "I'm done. I won't be able to hold my head up high in school anymore. I don't know how the school will handle this. I don't even want to go to school anymore."
Su Mengmeng took a deep breath and said, "I don't know how to comfort you this time."
If this happened to her, she wouldn't want to go to school. Ye Qiuwen has always been Ruan Qiuyang's belief, and Ruan Qiuyang treats her like a god. Who could have imagined that she would cause such a thing.
Knowing that dating is not allowed in school, even if you have feelings for each other, you should restrain yourself. Even if they can't control themselves and live together, shouldn't they be low-key and pure? How dare they go out and mess around in broad daylight?
Now the news about what she and Lu Yuanzheng did in the park has spread very badly. Although Lu Yuanzheng has also been affected, girls often suffer more in such things and have to bear more of the loss of reputation.
Ruan Qiuyang sat beside the flower bed with his chin resting on his arm, his eyes completely devoid of any luster or brightness.
In the room upstairs, Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue were sitting at the desks, the light from the desk lamp shining on their textbooks. They could hear Ye Qiuwen crying from next door. She had been crying for more than half an hour.
Ruan Qiuyue was confused and said, "Why did she do that earlier? Doesn't she know the consequences?"
Ruan Xi still didn't get too emotional about it, and said from a bystander's perspective: "Not everyone can stay rational all the time, especially when it comes to love. When the love is strong, there are people who don't care about anything."
Ruan Qiuyue couldn't understand and just said, "I don't really understand."
Ruan Xi said: "You don't need to understand, just read the book."
At the same time, the screen was hung in the courtyard square, and many people had gathered in front of the movie screen.
Even Ruan Hongjun, who never missed a movie, did not go to the square to watch a movie tonight because he was afraid that others would pull him aside to ask about Ye Qiuwen. So in the entire square, in front of the movie screen, there was no sign of any member of the Ruan family.
The others would gossip when they got together. Before the movie even started, the first thing they said when they sat down was, "Did you hear about what happened to Feng Xiuying's eldest daughter? She and the Lu family's son were caught in the park by an old lady from the neighborhood committee. It was so embarrassing."
Some people who didn't know asked, "Which eldest daughter, the one from the country?"
Someone slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my, that's the little one, the big one is Qiu Wen!"
