"So what if that's the case? What about his fourth sister? Why did his family deprive her of the right to go to college when she was admitted to university?"
Fu Yunsheng tried his best to stay calm, but now more and more people were standing on Jiang Yilu's side, and the situation was getting worse for him. All he could do was to hold on to this life-saving straw.
Jiang Yiliu frowned. He was getting more and more curious. He could understand that the other party knew his family situation. After all, the other party was the temporary league secretary of the class, and he knew his family situation clearly from his file. But the fourth sister's matter was not mentioned in the file. How did the other party know the fourth sister's situation so clearly, and also knew that the fourth sister was admitted to the university but did not go to school.
Fu Yunsheng is a native of the capital, and it is impossible for him to have any intersection with people from there.
Jiang Yilu felt that there must be something he had not noticed.
"I seem to have never mentioned my family situation in school. How do you know about my fourth sister?" Jiang Yilu asked curiously.
He did not deny Fu Yunsheng's words, which made Fu Yunsheng happy. However, he did not want Jiang Yilu to know his relationship with the Bai family's old house. After all, occupying someone else's house was not a good thing to say to others. He also wanted to join the party, and he could not let such things affect his party membership review.
Fu Yunsheng's expression was a little stiff: "I just heard your fellow countryman mention it by accident, just tell me if it's true or not."
"My original intention was also good, I was afraid that you would go astray, but who knew that you would be so sharp-tongued and turn the tables. If I hadn't heard this news, I'm afraid I would have been wronged by you today."
Fu Yunsheng's face was filled with indignation, as if he was not the one who started the trouble first.
The onlookers were also a little hesitant. The second and third sisters all went to college, so why not let the fourth sister go to college? It is not easy for a farming family to support so many college students. Could it be that Jiang Yilu's fourth sister was the victim here?
The ideas of onlookers are always easily swayed. They nod at what he says and think it makes sense, and then they listen to what the other party says and nod as it seems to be right too.
Fu Yunsheng’s words made Jiang Yilu’s eyes darken. His fellow villager?
There were only three people from Qingshan Village who came to Huaqing. Besides him, there were only Mo Xiangdong and Yu Xiaocao. Mo Xiangdong was a silent person who didn't like to talk. As for Yu Xiaocao...
Jiang Yilu shook his head and denied the idea in his mind.
Grandpa Bai was right. He shouldn't be too immersed in preconceived impressions. In this life, Yu Xiaocao hasn't done anything yet, and her life seems to be completely different from her previous life. In this life, she probably won't do the same things she did in her previous life.
The most important thing is that Yu Xiaocao's college and their college belong to two different departments. In just a dozen days, the two should not have any intersection.
But this made him even more curious about Fu Yunsheng's source of information.
"I don't know where Fu got the information from, and I don't know why Fu is always targeting me. My fourth sister's matter is our family's matter, and there is no need for me to explain it to you."
Jiang Yilu paused after he finished speaking: "But in order to prevent being targeted by a mad dog, I'd better explain it."
Fu Yunsheng's face turned red with anger, and he looked at Jiang Yilu with fiery eyes, "Mad dog!" He actually called him a mad dog.
"My fourth sister is one year older than me. She took the college entrance examination this year just to test the waters. What you said about my fourth sister getting into college is true, but she performed averagely this time and only scored 300 points, which is only enough for colleges within the province. We discussed it as a family and finally came to the conclusion that my fourth sister would repeat a year and try to get into a better college."
Jiang Yilu stated without any emotion, and Fu Yunsheng's face became more and more gloomy.
"From the beginning to the end, there was no so-called contempt. On the contrary, not allowing Fourth Sister to enter school this year was for her future. Of course, I believe that Mr. Fu will not be satisfied with what I said. You can call out the fellow villager you mentioned. I am willing to confront him face to face."
Jiang Yilu still wanted to know the driving force behind this.
Fu Yunsheng was upset as his retreat was blocked by Jiang Yilu. What kind of words were these? If he raised his doubts now, it would be unreasonable. Looking at Jiang Yilu's expression that showed he would definitely cause trouble again, and the suspicious looks of the people around him, Fu Yunsheng wished he could faint.
But what Jiang Yilu said was not wrong. He could find the person who told this story, but did he dare? There was no such thing as a fellow villager. That fellow villager was Jiang Yilu's mother.
If I say this, I'm afraid that not only will I not get everyone's approval, but it will also arouse suspicion.
"But, maybe I misheard and caused trouble for Jiang."
Fu Yunsheng was quite capable to have gotten to where he is now and to have been appointed as the temporary league secretary at the beginning of the school year when everyone was still unfamiliar with each other. At this moment, although he was at a disadvantage, he still politely apologized to Jiang Yiliu with a look of shame on his face.
"I originally heard about this incident, and then I saw that classmate Jiang had a feast of fish and meat, so I thought about it in a different way. I did what I did today. I hope classmate Jiang can forgive my mistake."
Fu Yunsheng's expression was sincere, and he seemed to really want to apologize, but his words obviously set a trap for Jiang Yilu.
Yes, it is true that Jiang Yilu's parents are willing to let him spend money lavishly, but as a college student, he has two older sisters who are also studying at the university, and one sister is repeating a grade, is this really a good thing?
Although Fu Yunsheng's words did not save the situation, at least it made everyone's impression of him not so bad, and their attitude towards Jiang Yilu did not change.
He thought to himself that Jiang Yilu was indeed right, but he couldn't be so ignorant just because his family loved him.
"I think this student misunderstood."
A soft and timid voice interrupted, and everyone looked back curiously. A thin girl about 1.5 meters tall was standing behind them, looking timid.
She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a slightly yellowed white shirt and a pair of blue cloth pants. Her skin was a little dull and yellow, which was caused by long-term malnutrition. Her delicate features, palm-sized face and slightly pale lips made people want to protect her. At this time, she clenched her fists, as if to cheer herself up.
"I don't know where this classmate heard the news from. I am Jiang's fellow villager. Jiang's parents are hardworking and capable. They earn the most work points in the team every year. Jiang's grandfather is a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War. One of his legs was broken while saving his comrades. Now he is retired from the army and receives a subsidy every month. Grandpa Jiang's subsidy alone is enough to provide living expenses for Jiang's siblings, not to mention that Jiang is still growing up. If the family has the conditions, why can't they eat fish and meat?"
Yu Xiaocao noticed this scene at the beginning of the farce. She wanted to come forward to help Jiang Yilu explain at that time, but she was stunned to see him facing everyone's accusations with ease. It was not until now that she thought of coming out to speak for Jiang Yilu.
"We all come from rural areas. It is true that a large number of us, like me, can only afford the cheapest steamed bread for meals, but some of my classmates come from well-off families. It is not the right thing for a Huaqing University student to make a rash judgment before understanding the truth of the matter."
Although Yu Xiaocao did not turn her gaze away, she knew that Jiang Yilu must be looking at her now, which made her more confident and her voice became louder.
"Student, I think you should apologize to classmate Jiang."
Looking at the crowd who were instigated by this fellow villager of Jiang Yilu who suddenly appeared, Fu Yunsheng's face turned pale instantly. Only parents were listed in Jiang Yilu's household registration file. He didn't know at all that Jiang Yilu also had a grandfather who received a military subsidy.
In this day and age, soldiers have a very high status, especially those heroes on the battlefield, who are not only respected, but also receive a monthly subsidy that is no less than that of excellent workers. When Yu Xiaocao said that Jiang Yilu's grandfather was a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War and a hero who was injured while saving his comrades, the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Yilu suddenly changed.
If it was true as that female classmate said, it wouldn't seem like a big deal for Jiang Yilu to eat fish and meat for every meal.
Thinking of this, Fu Yunsheng truly regretted his reckless behavior.
He did not regret targeting Jiang Yilu, but he regretted that he did not thoroughly investigate his background and acted rashly, which got him into trouble.
"Student Jiang, I'm sorry. I apologize to you."
Fu Yunsheng gritted his teeth. It was just an apology. He would wash away today's shame sooner or later.
Jiang Yilu did not expect Yu Xiaocao to appear. Looking at Fu Yunsheng's puzzled expression when he saw Yu Xiaocao appear, he completely put aside his doubts about Xiaocao and watched her speak for him. Although he still felt a little awkward in his heart, he still had to accept the favor this time.
Jiang Yiliu retracted his gaze from Yu Xiaocao, and turned to Fu Yunsheng, moving his lips slightly, and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I don't accept it."
Everyone originally thought that Fu Yunsheng would just apologize and the matter would be over, but after hearing Jiang Yilu's answer, it was obvious that he was not going to let it go.
"If it wasn't me today, and it was someone who was timid and tongue-tied, or if there weren't so many people explaining for me, I'm afraid I would have been frightened by you and speechless. You didn't do any investigation at the beginning, and judged my guilt based on your own subjective assumptions. Have you ever thought about what kind of learning environment I would live in if the crime you mentioned was proven true?"
Jiang Yilu had no intention of letting Fu Yunsheng go so easily. He was also annoyed by his little actions and planned to teach him a lesson.
"Without investigation, there is no right to speak. This is the Chairman's famous saying. Fu accused me of two serious crimes, favoring sons over daughters and being arrogant and debauched, just because of what he said he heard from my fellow townsmen. I think such an irresponsible person is not qualified to be the secretary of the Youth League branch, nor is he qualified to join the Party."
"I propose that Fu's membership in the party be revoked and his position as the secretary of the Youth League branch be removed."
Jiang Yilu took out the paper and pen he carried with him: "I would like all the students who agree with me to sign a letter to support my decision."
“I support it!”
Jiang Wensheng was the first to sign, and after him, many people signed their names, including Xia Ai, who had been silent, and Yu Ying, who had just spoken. Many people also signed their names under their leadership.
What that classmate said is right. If people can just say anything wrong, wouldn't that be a return to that era? This bad habit must be stopped.
Jiang Yilu narrowed his eyes and looked at the panicked man in front of him. He knew that for a man with great ambitions, only a cut on his forehead could make him feel real pain.
Fu Yunsheng left dejectedly, trying to smooth things over before Jiang Yilu took action. The remaining people gradually dispersed when they saw that the protagonist was missing.
"My classmate, you are from the same hometown as Xiaobao, so please have dinner with us."
Jiang Wencheng invited her enthusiastically, looking at the lunch box of multi-grain steamed buns in Yu Xiaocao's hand, and thought about improving her diet.
Yu Xiaocao stopped and looked at Jiang Yilu with a little expectation.
Jiang Yiliu nodded and said to Yu Xiaocao, "Come and eat with us."
After getting Jiang Yilu's reply, Yu Xiaocao sat down in his seat with a happy look on his face.
"My dear classmate, I am sorry for believing that student's one-sided words just now. I apologize to you here."
Just as everyone was about to start eating the somewhat cold food, Yu Ying walked up to Jiang Yilu and said, "I'm the president of the literature club. I want to ask you, are you interested in joining our club?"
Yu Ying extended his hand to Jiang Yilu and invited him sincerely.
