"What?! Who wants to apologize to you? Write a self-criticism! You're dreaming!" Upon hearing Yuan Mengge's words, Shen Jiayi and the other two became agitated and shouted at her.
This method may not be very harmful, but it is extremely insulting.
They're so obsessed with saving face, always thinking they're superior. Making them stand in the school assembly and read their apologies? It's better to kill them.
Yuan Mengge knew they wouldn't do it so willingly, so she sneered and said, "If you don't write it yourselves, then I'll make a thousand copies of the flyers, write your names on them, write down your stories, and then take them to the town to distribute to everyone. And you'll have to compensate me for emotional distress. You'd better figure it out yourselves."
Her words stunned the three of them, who stared at her wide-eyed: "You...you dare!!!"
Yuan Mengge calmly walked back to her seat, stood by the table and looked down at Shen Jiayi, saying, "See if I dare."
At this moment, He Qingfeng walked in with a gloomy face and said to Yuan Mengge, "Alright, sit down first."
After Yuan Mengge sat down, she said to He Qingfeng, "Teacher, if my sister comes and proves that I didn't steal money from home, I'll ask the three of them to write self-criticisms, read them aloud at the school assembly, and bow their heads in apology to me. Is that too much to ask?"
These are all standard disciplinary methods in schools. For some shameless students, reading a self-criticism is better than being expelled.
But these three women were easily embarrassed, especially when they had to read it aloud in front of their rural classmates whom they had always looked down on. It was as if their noble dignity had been thrown to the ground and trampled on.
Class monitor Wei Jingting's words have already proven that Yuan Mengge was right; now all that's needed is a personal identification.
People aren't stupid; after watching the commotion for a while, they can figure out what's going on.
After hearing Yuan Mengge's request, He Qingfeng glanced at the three people expressionlessly before nodding to Yuan Mengge: "Okay. But you also hit someone, so you have to apologize."
Yuan Mengge shrugged and said, "Okay."
She did strike first, so she's willing to take responsibility. It's just an apology; she's not like them who can't accept an apology.
The homeroom teacher breathed a sigh of relief when she agreed so readily.
I thought she would be like Shen Jiayi and the other two, showing no remorse.
The class ended in a lively and bustling manner. As soon as the bell rang, everyone instantly broke free of their inhibitions and rushed out of the classroom.
The girls wanted to spread the word throughout the entire school about these two things...
The boys weren't idle either.
The students in the next class didn't know what had happened, but they vaguely sensed that something was going on here, so they came over to gossip after class.
So the students in Class 2 quickly told everyone about Yuan Mengge, Shen Jiayi, and the other two, and soon the whole Class 1 knew.
Liu Xiaoqing and Zhou Xueqing, who shared a dorm room with Yuan Mengge, were both surprised when they heard this. They never expected that Yuan Mengge would hit people.
And she's cut ties with her family? Why? What happened between her and her family? And why is her sister giving her so much money?
A series of questions arose in their minds, like a curious cat scratching at them.
Thinking about it, I'll go back to the dorm at noon... Should I ask her?
But they don't get along, so how should I ask them?
Just as the second class started, two people came to the door of the classroom of Class 2, Grade 9.
Yuan Mengge didn't expect that Brother Hu would come along too.
The Hu siblings stood at the classroom door and whispered to the teacher, "Teacher... we're here to see Pingping..."
He Qingfeng immediately stood up and called Yuan Mengge out: "Yuan Pingping, come out for a moment."
Then he said to the others, "Study quietly and don't make any noise."
After saying that, he followed her out.
Then the four of them went downstairs and sat down in the office.
He Qingfeng first asked about their relationship with Yuan Mengge: "You two... aren't Yuan Pingping's family, are you? I'd like to ask, what kind of relatives are you to her? Like, cousins or something?"
Although Yuan Mengge had previously stated that she was just an acquaintance, He Qingfeng believed that there must be some kind of kinship between them.
Brother Hu shook his head and said, "No, our family has no relation to her family at all. But our family has recognized her as our goddaughter, so she's practically our little sister now."
This was a favor Yuan Mengge asked the Hu family for when she went to pick up her bicycle yesterday.
She didn't directly ask them to adopt her as their goddaughter; she just wanted them to pretend. She needed a normal background so that many things wouldn't be so troublesome later.
For example, the money she currently has needs to have a legitimate source.
Unexpectedly, the Hu family readily agreed and even genuinely wanted to adopt her as their goddaughter.
Seeing that the other party was serious about wanting to take her as a goddaughter, Yuan Mengge did not refuse.
Yesterday was too rushed, so some of the later ceremonies and such were postponed.
Unexpectedly, just one day later, the Hu siblings were already using the identities of godbrother and godsister.
Upon hearing their words, He Qingfeng looked at them in surprise, then at Yuan Mengge and asked, "Is that so?"
Yuan Mengge nodded.
He Qingfeng: "So that's how it is..."
Then he told them what happened in Yuan Mengge's first class.
Upon hearing that someone was falsely accusing Yuan Mengge, Hu Yuanyuan and her brother angrily retorted, "They have no evidence whatsoever! Why are they saying that Pingping stole money from home? This money was given to her by us!"
"They have no manners at all! Their parents must not be good people either, to raise daughters like this!"
He Qingfeng remained silent with a subtle expression: "..."
Your adopted sister certainly doesn't have much manners...
However, he could only say these words to himself; on the surface, he could only advise the Hu siblings to calm down.
"No way! We want to see their parents too! How can you just slander people like that? Do those three girls think my sister is easy to bully?" Hu Yuanyuan said angrily.
Yuan Mengge tugged at her secretly and said, "Alright, Sister Yuanyuan. I'll handle this. You don't need to worry about it. You know they can't bully me."
Hu Yuanyuan glanced at her and calmed down slightly. She knew that Yuan Mengge was not so easy to bully now.
She just couldn't swallow her anger.
He Qingfeng then wisely changed the subject, asking the two, "By the way, did you know that she severed ties with her family?"
The Hu siblings nodded: "We know, the accounts have already been separated."
"What? You separated the accounts?" He Qingfeng looked at Yuan Mengge in surprise upon hearing this.
