"502 is making trouble again."
"The one from the Foreign Languages Department again?"
When Liu Meiyu walked into the dormitory building, she heard a few girls walking down the stairs with their books in their arms, complaining in an impatient tone.
"That's her," the girl nodded. "Ever since she moved in, our building has never been quiet. I live in the dormitory next to theirs, and it's a luxury for me to read a book in the dormitory every day."
"Well, I think she is quite pitiful. It was her parents who did something wrong..."
"You still sympathize with her?" The girl pouted, her face full of disapproval: "I heard that her parents sold out their best friends for money, causing the family to be ruined. She has lived a life of luxury since she was a child. Didn't she wear a tweed coat and high-heeled leather shoes in school? At that time, a set of clothes would cost at least two hundred yuan."
"Besides, do you dare to be friends with someone who was brought up by such parents? You never know, one day, she might sell you out behind your back!"
"You are too absolute," the girl pushed her glasses on her nose and expressed her opinion with a firm look: "Everyone is an independent individual with their own thoughts and behaviors. Other people, whether they are parents, teachers or friends, only have an influence on the individual, not a decisive role. Since we don't understand her as a person, we shouldn't make judgments rashly based on subjective conjectures, or even spread them. Moreover, we are thoughtful and educated people, so we should look at problems dialectically..."
Liu Meiyu watched the two girls elevate gossip to the level of philosophy, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This was truly Huaqing University in the 1980s with its strong academic atmosphere. It was very different from the Internet environment of later generations where anyone with hands could attack others by typing on a keyboard.
Before she reached room 502, Liu Meiyu heard Song Qi arguing with someone in the corridor.
"Wu Yueyue, you are sick. You said I stole your laundry detergent. How could you see it? You bark in the dormitory all day long. If you have evidence, show it to the teacher and the dormitory manager. Don't go around getting sick every day!"
"You were the only one who did the laundry yesterday, and we were not at home at the time. Who else could it be if not you? Your parents really taught you well. You have become accustomed to stealing other people's things!"
“Bang!”
The crisp sound of the slap was particularly loud. As soon as Liu Meiyu walked to the dormitory door, she saw Song Qi with a red face and was as angry as a puffer fish.
"How dare you do that!"
The girl who was slapped picked up a book on the table and hit the person with it, but Song Qi pushed her away, and the two of them started fighting.
"Song Qi, Wu Yue, stop fighting. If the dorm manager finds out, you'll be in trouble."
Two girls nearby went over to try to stop the fight with sad faces, but the situation got worse and worse, and the dormitory instantly became a battlefield.
Liu Meiyu hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time. She picked up the advanced mathematics textbook on the ground slowly and flipped through it boredly while admiring Miss Song's sassyness.
There was no doubt that the girl was no match for Miss Song. After just a few moves, Song Qi pinned her to the ground and unilaterally suppressed her.
It seems that Song Qi’s washing of dishes in the past two months was not in vain.
After much difficulty, they pulled the two apart. A girl stood in the middle, sweating profusely. "That's enough. If we really startle the school, you two might be punished. We came to Huaqing to study. If you keep making trouble in the dormitory like this every day, it's not only bad for you, but also affects others!"
A girl next to him also nodded: "That's right, Song Qi, you should talk nicely and not hit your classmates. And Wu Yue, no one saw the laundry detergent incident, and there is no evidence that Song Qi used your laundry detergent. I think we should just forget about it this time. If you can't live here anymore, you can ask Auntie to change the dormitory. If you two are like this, no one can study in the dormitory anymore!"
There are still many understanding people in Huaqing.
After seeing them calm down after the fight, Liu Meiyu remembered that she had come to bring pastries to Miss Song. She also returned the math textbook she had just picked up at the door to the girl who was sitting on the bed wiping her tears and sobbing.
"Student, is this your textbook?"
Liu Meiyu handed the book over. The girl sniffed and threw the book on the bed without even looking at it.
"On the homework on page 38, you got two basic function formulas wrong!"
She kindly mentioned it, but the girl raised her eyes and glared at her angrily: "It's none of your business!"
“…”
The cafeteria of Huaqing University.
Song Qi turned his grief and anger into appetite and ate most of the box of cakes that Liu Meiyu brought in one go, along with two bowls of seaweed and egg drop soup.
"Liu Meiyun, you are amazing. You stood at the door for a long time and watched the excitement without even coming in to help me. You even explained math problems to others. Have you lost your mind?"
"People like Wu Yueyue are stupid and insane, just like a mad dog. I'm afraid I'll get rabies if I talk to her for a few more words! You even corrected her math formulas, but it's basically like playing the lute to a cow. I don't know how she got into Huaqing University!"
No matter how delicious the mung bean cake was, it couldn't calm Miss Song's anger. She gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to chew the person into pieces like the mung bean cake.
Liu Meiyu rolled her eyes at her and said, "How stupid of me! My children are already grown up, and I'm still fighting with a bunch of little girls like you."
Song Qi pouted and retorted: "You are not much older than us, you just got married and had children early. Don't act like you have lived for decades. I tell you, at this time, even if you don't help, you should cheer me on. I really regret not kicking her a few more times just now. Anyway, she likes to pretend so much..."
In just a short while, Miss Song greeted all the people's ancestors.
Liu Meiyun interrupted her midway: "I see that you all call her Wu Yue, and that's also her name in the textbook. Why are you different from others and calling her by a different name?"
"Her original name was Wu Yueyue!"
Liu Meiyun raised her eyebrows: "Did you know each other before?"
Song Qi nodded reluctantly: "Before our family collapsed, my mother often took me to the department store to buy clothes. Manager Wu of the department store was her father. He was very smooth and tried to curry favor with my family and get close to them. During the holidays, Wu Yueyue and her father would come to visit my house, but my parents didn't pay much attention to them."
"Then why did you change the name later?" Liu Meiyu asked curiously.
"She said that's the name on her household registration." Song Qi didn't take it seriously. He just burped and continued to complain: "I didn't know she was this kind of person before. I reassigned a dormitory when I registered for the new semester, and she was assigned here after only two days. I heard that she changed her major in her freshman year, and there were no extra dormitories for freshmen, so she was assigned to our dormitory. As a result, she started to treat me badly as soon as she arrived. Not only did she tell everyone about my family affairs, but she also made trouble for me in the dormitory every day. Do you think I am unlucky? I didn't provoke her..."
"How can you be sure that she was the one who leaked the things that happened in your family?"
Most people certainly don't know about Song Qi's parents' affairs, and it was not reported in the newspapers.
"She has a relative who works as a nanny in our compound. She must know what's going on in my family. Who else could it be but her? And once she talked about it in someone else's dormitory, and I caught her in the act! I was so angry!"
While Song Qi was angry, she was also a little scared. Fortunately, her parents covered up the fact that she got married, pregnant, and divorced. If this matter was revealed to others, she really didn't know how to move on.
The past was too painful to recall. Whenever she thought of the stupid mistakes she had made in the past, she wanted to slap herself.
"There's still people who will make you angry."
After listening to the general idea, Liu Meiyu had a rough judgment in her mind, and looked at her with sympathy, which made Miss Song feel creepy and her back felt cold.
"Why?" Song Qi swallowed unconsciously. It was the first time she saw sympathy in the eyes of Liu Meiyu, the cold-blooded capitalist. She couldn't help but panic.
"Because that girl named Wu Yueyue is most likely trying to kick you out of Huaqing. Today's fight could be a big deal or a small one. If it gets to the school, you were the first to start the fight, and you were pretty ruthless. There are even claw marks on the guy's neck. People who don't know the situation will probably stand on her side. She'll cry a little and then go to her parents to make trouble, so it's not impossible for you to be punished."
This kind of serial trick is often played on TV, and Liu Meiyu has almost memorized it. With Miss Song being such a naive person, she probably doesn't even know how she was killed.
"Even if you get away with it this time, there will definitely be a next time, and it will be even easier. Whether it's true or not, the news of you stealing someone else's laundry detergent will definitely spread. Next time, if she wants to get you, she will secretly put some money under your mattress or pillow without anyone noticing, and then she will take all the spoils. Add to that the impression you already left on the public, and your parents' reasons, and you won't be able to explain yourself even if you have a hundred mouths."
"Impossible, the school will definitely investigate." Song Qi was stunned by what Liu Meiyu said.
"Well, that's for sure." Liu Meiyu shrugged, "But public opinion will definitely get to you before the truth. Since they want to kick you out of school, they will definitely spend a lot of time and effort. By then, you might not be able to bear the pressure and drop out directly."
Song Qi couldn't understand: "Why? I haven't offended her!"
Liu Meiyun: "Maybe because you always call her Wu Yueyue, she feels guilty."
"What do you mean?" Song Qi looked confused.
"You said she visited your home several times before. Do you know what her grades were like before?"
"It wasn't that good before," Song Qi recalled carefully, without any modesty: "I'm older than her. When I was in high school, she was still in junior high school. Anyway, I remember that her grades in junior high school were not that good, far behind mine."
"No, what do you mean by asking these questions?" Song Qi became more and more confused by Liu Meiyu's questions.
Liu Meiyun saw that her innocent brain probably couldn't think of that, so she said directly: "I guess she probably changed her name to go to college for someone else. You call her by her real name every day, and you know how powerful she is. People must feel guilty when they see you."
"To go to university instead?" Song Qi was so surprised that his eyes widened. "How did you know?"
Liu Meiyun: "When you were fighting, I was bored so I flipped through her math textbook. She had to erase the answers to the exercises several times before she could write them down correctly. She even made mistakes on basic high school function formulas, and she didn't even get a few slightly more complicated multivariate equations right. Do you think Huaqing's threshold is that low?"
"She changed her name to take someone else's place in Huaqing University, and then switched from engineering to fine arts in her freshman year. With her academic performance, she would definitely fail every course and still not graduate if she didn't change her major."
Liu Meiyun knew that there were many cases of people replacing other people's university admission quotas in the 1980s, which were exposed in later generations.
But a family like Wu Yueyue's is so daring that they directly challenge Hua Qing. They are really fearless.
"My God, if that's true, they are so brave."
Song Qi simply couldn't believe it, but after listening to Liu Meiyu's analysis and inference, she felt that it made a lot of sense. Otherwise, Wu Yueyue could only explain that she was mentally ill and that was why she was always picking on her!
"I'm going to write a report letter to expose her!"
After sweeping away his previous sadness and anger, Song Qi's eyes were now filled with burning flames.
"You need evidence." Liu Meiyu poured some cool water on her head. "Who would care if you reported someone without sufficient evidence? We just made guesses based on common sense. If someone dared to do this, they would definitely not let an ordinary person like you find out easily."
"What should we do?" Song Qi leaned back in her chair dejectedly, feeling very sad. If her father hadn't gotten into trouble, this matter would have been easy to investigate. But now her family was in this situation, and all the uncles and aunts that she used to know avoided them.
Looking at the naive Song Qi whose moods were all written on her face, Liu Meiyun sighed, feeling like she had raised an extra stupid daughter: "Ask a reporter to check. As long as you can convince a reporter who is serious about journalism and has a sense of social responsibility, he or she will definitely have more time, energy, and ways to check Wu Yueyue's college entrance examination results than you do."
Replacing other people's college entrance examination quotas will always be a focal point of public attention no matter when it is placed.
"Oh yeah! Why didn't I think of that!"
When Song Qi heard this was a good idea, his heart immediately returned to normal.
"But what does Wu Yueyue want? If she didn't cause me trouble, I wouldn't have noticed that she changed her name. But she kicked me out of school just because of a guilty conscience, ruining my life. Now I guess I have to ruin her life too."
The college entrance examination has only been resumed for a few years. If it is true that Wu Yueyue replaced someone else's university quota, then her family would be completely ruined.
Song Qi said this not because she sympathized with Wu Yueyue. She just couldn't understand how there could be such a person in the world who would ruin 99% of someone else's life just because of the 1% chance of being exposed.
Liu Meiyun stood up, touched Miss Song's innocent head, and said earnestly: "My little friend, in another twenty years, you won't be bothered by this problem anymore."
Human nature is inherently complex and unsolvable.
Wu Yueyue wanted Song Qi to drop out of Huaqing, not only because she felt guilty, but also because she saw that Miss Song, whom she once envied, had not fallen badly enough, so she wanted to give her a helping hand.
The world is so big and there are all kinds of people. Once you see them, you’ll get used to them.
"Liu Meiyun! You are only a few years older than me, but you speak in such an old-fashioned way!"
Song Qi watched Liu Meiyu greet her and walk out of the cafeteria, and she pouted in disappointment.
What? I really came here to give her some mung bean cake!
