As Zhao Mei finished speaking, Gao Xiulian's smug look suddenly stopped and was quickly replaced by anger. She slapped Zhao Mei on the back and asked loudly, "What did you say? Say it again!"
This time she didn't hold back her strength, and Zhao Mei fell forward after being slapped by her. Fortunately, Lin Wei was quick-witted and took a big step forward to pull Zhao Mei into her arms.
Gao Xiulian's plan was in vain. She was already furious. Seeing this scene, she blurted out, "I'm teaching my daughter a lesson, why are you interfering——"
But before she could finish her words, Feng Ying slapped the desk and shouted, "Enough!"
Gao Xiulian suddenly remembered what was going on. She glared at her daughter in Lin Wei's arms and said, "Principal Feng, it must be because Lin Wei is here that my daughter doesn't dare to tell the truth. Give me some time and I'll talk to her properly..."
Feng Ying interrupted her and asked, "What do you want to say to her? How can you lie with your eyes open, or are you making false accusations?"
Gao Xiulian was stunned by what she said. After a while, she asked, "You don't believe me? The wound on my daughter's hand was really caused by Lin Wei! It was her!" She pointed at Lin Wei and said, "You threatened my daughter and stopped her from telling the truth, right?"
"Comrade Gao Xiulian, please don't treat everyone else as fools! You said that Teacher Lin beat your daughter, but she said she didn't and said she was lying. Teacher Lin said she could find someone else to testify for her and that she was not alone with your daughter that day, but you said that others would lie for her. Now, you keep saying that you have identified Teacher Lin as the one who beat her daughter, and you admit that Teacher Lin didn't beat her, and that the wound on her hand was caused by pulling weeds, but you still say that she is not telling the truth."
Feng Ying stood up from the back of the office, walked up to Gao Xiulian and asked, "Then let me ask you, is it true that only what you say is true, and if it is different from your idea, then it is a lie?"
Gao Xiu Lian was not tall, but not short either, about 1.5657 meters. However, Feng Ying was nearly 10 centimeters taller than her and was wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes. When she walked in front of Gao Xiu Lian and looked at her, it seemed as if she was looking down on her.
In addition, she has been the principal for so many years. When she is gentle, she is very gentle, and when she is serious, her aura is very intimidating.
The moment she met her eyes, Gao Xiulian felt a rush of panic and involuntarily avoided her and said, "I, I don't have that idea."
"You don't have any? I think you have a lot!" Feng Ying said in a deep voice, "Please understand that this is a school, a place for children to receive education and study, not a place for you to make trouble and make a scene at will! Classmate Zhao Mei is definitely not a weapon for you to spread rumors and slander, or to take revenge for personal gain!"
Gao Xiulian finally reacted and was furious.
She felt that Feng Ying was really biased. She thought her daughter would identify Lin Wei and she even refused to promise to expel Lin Wei from the military primary school as long as her daughter nodded.
Now that her daughter said something in favor of Lin Wei, she was busy accusing herself.
However, Gao Xiulian only thought about this in her heart and did not dare to say it in front of the commander's wife. Although she didn't say it, the resentment on her face was too obvious.
Feng Ying saw her expression and said, "If you are not convinced and still insist that Teacher Lin beat your daughter, then I will report this matter to the higher authorities and have the army send someone to investigate. Then we can make a final decision on who is right and who is wrong!"
Gao Xiulian's face changed completely when she heard this.
She knew best what the truth was and whether Lin Wei had beaten her daughter.
The reason why she dared to go to the school to seek justice was that a day was so long that even Lin Wei herself might not remember when she was alone and when she was with others, let alone others.
Although Feng Ying is a good principal, she doesn't know how to investigate cases. At most, she can ask a few questions and then stand on whoever is right. As long as Lin Wei can't explain it clearly, the matter is half done. Or maybe Lin Wei could find a witness. As long as her daughter insisted that the wound on her hand was caused by Lin Wei, it would be useless no matter how clearly she explained.
However, Gao Xiulian did not expect that Lin Wei not only remembered what she did last Saturday, but could also tell the start and end time, as well as who was around her.
She never expected that, after she had warned her daughter in the morning and had reminded her several times just now when Feng Ying went out to call for help, her daughter still failed to comply!
But even so, she still believed that as long as she could get a chance to be alone with her daughter and get her to change her mind again, there would be hope for the situation to turn around.
Who would have thought that Feng Ying would report the matter to the army as soon as he opened his mouth.
Although Gao Xiu Lian had never seen how the army personnel investigated cases, she knew that they were not easy to deal with because they were all professionals. It would be fine for her, but if her daughter couldn't keep her mouth shut and said that she had deliberately slandered Lin Wei, she would be completely finished.
Thinking of this, Gao Xiulian suddenly got a chill and rushed to Zhao Mei who was standing next to Lin Wei. She grabbed her collar with one hand and slapped her on the butt with the other hand, cursing loudly: "You damn child! I told you to lie!"
Although her buttocks were fleshy and resistant to blows, Gao Xiulian's slap was too sudden and she didn't hold back much strength. Zhao Mei was instantly frightened and burst into tears.
Lin Wei reacted quickly and snatched the child from Gao Xiulian: "Why did you hit the child?"
Feng Ying also shouted loudly: "Gao Xiulian, what on earth are you going to do?"
Although Gao Xiulian didn't chase after Zhao Mei and beat her, she ignored Lin Wei and Feng Ying. She just pointed at Zhao Mei and said angrily, "The night before yesterday, I asked you how you got the injury on your hand. What did you tell me at that time? I felt sorry for you, so I brought you here to ask for an explanation! But what about you? You changed your words when you saw the teacher. Now I don't know which of your words are true and which are false."
Lin Wei and Feng Ying were both smart people, but at this moment, listening to Gao Xiu Lian's words, they were both confused and didn't know how to react.
Gao Xiulian didn't need them to react, she could perform the whole show by herself. After scolding Zhao Mei, she squeezed out tears and said, "Principal Feng, I really can't do anything with this child! This child is a lie. I asked her seven or eight times how the injury on her hand came about, and she insisted that it was Teacher Lin who beat her. But now, everything she said is a lie!"
Lin Wei and Feng Ying were speechless upon hearing this.
Lin Wei said, "You said before that you asked Xiaomei for a long time before she said I hit her. How come now, after asking her seven or eight times, she still insisted on it?"
"Yes, I asked her for a long time before she said you hit her. I didn't believe it and asked her several times. In the end, she said so, so I had no choice but to believe it. If it wasn't for her insistence, how could I be so sure in front of you?" Gao Xiulian said, sighing heavily, "I really didn't expect this child to lie so much!"
Shameless!
Lin Wei never imagined that Gao Xiu Lian would push all the responsibilities onto a seven-year-old child after the situation was hopeless!
Her expression turned completely cold: "Gao Xiulian, do you know what you are talking about?"
Gao Xiulian is very flexible: "Teacher Lin, I know that I believed Xiaomei's one-sided words before and thought that I was wrong for you to hit her. Now the truth is out, I apologize to you, can you please stop stopping me from taking care of the children?"
Lin Wei looked at the little old girl who was crying breathlessly in her arms, and she was shaking with anger. She really couldn't understand how there could be such a mother in the world.
Not only did she use the child's injuries to distort the truth and slander others for personal grudges, but after her scheme was exposed, she even wanted to shift the blame to the innocent child.
Lin Wei looked at Gao Xiulian with cold eyes: "You are not worthy of being a mother!"
Gao Xiulian quickly lowered her head, wiping her tears to hide her distorted expression, and said as if sobbing, "I admit that I am not a very competent mother, but before today, I never thought that this child would become like this! Principal Feng and Teacher Lin, don't worry, after I go back today, I will definitely discipline this child and teach her the way to be honest..."
Lin Wei didn't want to hear Gao Xiulian continue, so she said, "Alright, who is lying and who is confusing right and wrong? Report it to the higher authorities, and ask the troops to investigate and we'll know."
Gao Xiulian raised her head suddenly: "Don't!"
As soon as she said this, she felt that it was inappropriate. Her mind raced, "Principal Feng, please give my daughter another chance. Although she lied, she is just a child after all. Once the army sends someone to investigate, her future will be ruined!"
But Feng Ying kept a sullen face and said nothing.
Gao Xiulian gritted her teeth and turned to Lin Wei: "Teacher Lin, you are Xiaomei's teacher after all. Although she was wronged, nothing happened to you. Can you just raise your hand and let her go?"
Lin Wei knew that Gao Xiu Lian was using Zhao Mei to threaten her. Although their kinship relationship was reversed and Gao Xiu Lian's behavior was despicable, she had to admit that the threat was useful.
She believed that Zhao Mei was a good child, and she also guessed that this was a play directed and acted by Gao Xiu Lian from beginning to end.
But what's the use?
Gao Xiu Lian is Zhao Mei’s biological mother!
She came forward and said that Zhao Mei had bad conduct and was telling lies all the time. Lin Wei felt that most people would believe her. If this matter really came to the attention of the army, and the army arranged people to investigate, Gao Xiu Lian would be so cruel as to push the entire thing onto Zhao Mei. As a child, could she really prove her innocence?
But even if the people sent by the army found out the truth, would the result be necessarily good for Zhao Mei?
At best, this incident was an unsuccessful slander. Gao Xiulian had incorrect thoughts and bad conduct. If she had a bad background, this hat would be enough to have her demoted. But she came from a poor peasant family and her husband was a soldier, so in the end, maybe she would just be given a warning and asked to write a letter of apology.
But given Gao Xiulian's narrow-mindedness, after this matter is over, I'm afraid even her own daughter will hate her. Zhao Mei is over seven years old this year and still has ten years to go before she becomes an adult. It would be very easy for her mother to torture her.
After a long silence, Feng Ying said, "It's fine if you don't report it, but Comrade Gao, you must apologize to Teacher Lin. Also, something like this must not happen again."
Gao Xiulian readily agreed: "Don't worry, I will never listen to one side of the story in the future."
Still slandering Zhao Mei.
Feng Ying couldn't stand her expression and said coldly, "You can apologize to Teacher Lin now."
Although Gao Xiu Lian agreed readily, she was a little hesitant to open her mouth when it came to apologizing. The main reason was that after this apology, she would be inferior to Lin Wei from then on.
Just thinking about it made Gao Xiu Lian feel suffocated.
But Feng Ying didn't care about her and urged, "Comrade Gao, if you keep dawdling, the morning reading will be over soon, and there will be a lot of people coming and going outside the office by then."
Gao Xiu Lian originally thought that the coming and going of people outside was none of her business, but when her eyes inadvertently swept across the open door of the office, she instantly understood what Feng Ying meant.
She finally lowered her head and said through clenched teeth: "Teacher Lin, I was wrong this time. Please, please forgive me."
Lin Wei said directly: "I don't forgive you, you can leave."
Gao Xiulian almost bit her teeth when she heard that. Fortunately, in order to humble herself, she didn't even look up when she apologized, so her ferocious expression was not exposed.
She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and looked up at Feng Ying: "Principal Feng, look..."
Feng Ying didn't want to see her, and said in the same cold tone: "Go away."
Gao Xiulian choked up and said with a fake smile: "Then I'll take Xiaomei back first."
Lin Wei said: "Classmate Zhao Mei still has to go back to class, so she won't go with you."
"This..." Gao Xiulian turned to look at Feng Ying. Seeing that although she had no expression on her face, she obviously did not object, she said, "Okay, then I will go back by myself."
Anyway, if they secretly reported it behind her back and the matter became a big deal, she would put all the blame on her daughter. No matter how right they were, they couldn't argue with an ignorant child.
As for Zhao Mei, she is her own daughter and she will have plenty of opportunities to deal with her in the future!
After going over these things in her mind, Gao Xiu Lian walked out of the office leisurely. But her calmness was only on the surface. When she walked out of the military primary school, her expression twisted again.
She knew that if she failed this time, it would be almost impossible for her to disrupt Lin Wei's work in the future.
But it doesn’t matter. Lin Wei will only teach for three months. Maybe she will be fired when Teacher Chen, who has a fracture, is discharged from the hospital. Even if she could really stay at that time, Luo Shuzhi would definitely not leave her alone.
That person couldn't stand Lin Wei's good fortune even more than she did.
…
Lin Wei didn't know about Gao Xiu Lian's new plan. After coaxing Zhao Mei, she told the little girl about the home visit and asked her to remember to tell her father when she returned home in the evening.
Although the two families lived next door to each other, she and Zhao Feng were not strangers, but since she came as a teacher, she had to go through the necessary procedures.
Zhao Mei had no objection to this, after all, she was still a child. However, Feng Ying asked Zhao Mei after she returned to the classroom: "Why did you suddenly decide to go on a home visit?"
Lin Wei replied: "When something serious happens to a student at school, the parents must be informed."
In fact, she visited Zhao Feng's home just to complain.
After the two families lived together for so long, she finally understood that Zhao Feng was not a very good person, but he was indeed a smart man, and he and Gao Xiu Lian were completely opposite extremes.
One is reluctant to take the lead when something happens, for fear of offending others; the other rushes forward recklessly, for fear of not offending anyone.
Lin Wei felt that Gao Xiu Lian must not have informed Zhao Feng in advance about the weird things she did today, otherwise, with his temper, he would never have let Gao Xiu Lian enter the gate of the Military District Primary School.
She also felt that Gao Xiu Lian must want to keep this matter secret, not only to avoid reporting it to the army, but also to avoid letting Zhao Feng know, otherwise a family war would be inevitable.
Generally speaking, Lin Wei hopes that the people around her can live in harmony with their spouses and have a happy family, but this time, she thinks that the more Zhao Feng and Gao Xiu Lian quarrel, the better.
The louder the quarrel, the angrier Zhao Feng is, so he will take the trouble to take care of Gao Xiu Lian, and Zhao Mei's situation at home will be slightly better in the future.
