Chapter 66 Li Fen's Fate
"I was having dinner with my friends just now, and someone secretly told me that Qin Liang gambled away all of his family's savings and has been hiding from creditors lately."
And then, guess what?
The second son showed off for a moment, then Jiang Ruzhen slapped him on the back of the head, saying, "Speak quickly."
The second son rubbed his head and then whispered in Jiang Ruzhen's ear, "Qin Liang was forced into a corner and sold his mother, Li Fen."
"Sold? Really?"
Jiang Ruzhen was somewhat shocked. She thought that Qin Liang would at most torture and beat Li Fen every day, but she didn't expect him to be such a beast, daring to sell even his own mother.
"Where did they go?"
"I heard it's Wayaocun, under Binghe City in Liu Province. It's extremely poor there. The whole village of twenty-odd households pooled together five hundred yuan just to find a woman to take back and carry on the family line."
Jiang Ruzhen covered her mouth tightly, trying her best not to scream.
"Wayao Village, the whole village?"
"Yes, the whole village." The second son knew his mother understood what he meant. The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement and joy at having avenged their great grudge.
In her past life, Li Fen, the culprit, lived a carefree life by relying on Qin Lanlan to skin her alive and drink her blood.
From wrongly accusing her husband, Lao Shen, to harming several of her children, she was behind every single one of these schemes.
Seeing her tormented to the point of being neither human nor ghost by her own children must have been incredibly satisfying for her.
Even the location was so coincidental, both being Wayaocun Village, except that Xin Xin's fate was rewritten, and it was Li Fen who suffered instead.
Is this some kind of destiny arranged by fate?
The two chatted for a long time, and Jiang Ruzhen's bad mood was instantly cured.
Even when her fourth son came back, she didn't confront him about the score. Instead, she happily cooked a big meal for the whole family.
However, after dinner, she still told Lao Si about what Xu Bin had done that day and reminded him to be careful at school. She said that if Xu Bin dared to cause trouble for him because of this, she would definitely not let him off the hook.
The fourth son was furious when he heard about this. He said that the homeroom teacher had been taking good care of him these past few days, and it turned out that he had such thoughts about his mother.
He still has the nerve to cause trouble for him; he should be grateful if he doesn't go looking for trouble with Xu Bin.
The next day, when Shen Zhuohang came home from school, a red mark inexplicably appeared on his face. Jiang Ruzhen noticed it and casually asked him about it.
What happened to your face?
"It's nothing. In PE class today, the teacher tested us on jump rope, and I just got so anxious that I hit my face with it," the fourth brother mumbled, shoveling food into his mouth.
"Be careful." Jiang Ruzhen didn't pay any attention and continued to look at the account book with the boss.
For several days in a row, the fourth brother had different injuries on his body. He would scrape off a piece of skin on his arm or sprain his ankle, and he would walk with a limp.
When Jiang Ruzhen asked, he impatiently replied that it was nothing.
Jiang Ruzhen was so angry that she stopped asking questions. But that day, while she was selling clothes in the shop, a girl sneaked in, slipped a note into her hand, and ran away.
When Jiang Ruzhen opened the note, she was so angry she almost exploded.
It turns out that the fourth brother has been at odds with Xu Bin these past two days. Xu Bin is picking fights with him at every turn, but the fourth brother is not backing down and is going head-to-head with Xu Bin.
But a student is no match for a teacher, and the teacher often used his position to physically punish the fourth student.
The fourth brother was also stubborn; he didn't tell Jiang Ruzhen for several days.
The two got into another fight at school today. It started when Xu Bin caught Lao Si cheating on the math exam by passing notes to someone else.
He was made to write a 2,000-word self-criticism and read it aloud to the entire school in the broadcasting room.
The fourth student vehemently denied cheating and reported it to the principal, but his case was rejected.
Xu Bin threatened him that he would be expelled from school if he did not reflect on his actions.
The fourth brother acted impulsively and was stopped, but by then the school was in chaos. Xu Bin was yelling for the fourth brother to bring his parents.
The fourth brother stubbornly refused, and the girl took advantage of the gap to run out and inform Jiang Ruzhen.
Jiang Ruzhen dropped the clothes she was wearing and rushed to the school.
Upon arriving at the broadcasting room, Lao Si was confronting Xu Bin fiercely, while several teachers and students were pulling the two apart to prevent the situation from escalating.
"Shen Zhuohang, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a good student. I've been a teacher for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such an unruly student as you."
You think you're right to cheat? You even dared to lay a hand on me? Who do you think you are? What kind of family do you think you are? Your mother is just a clothes seller. What are you so arrogant about?
"If you don't want to study, go home early. Don't be a troublemaker and a black sheep at school!" Xu Bin shouted angrily, pointing at the fourth brother's nose.
The fourth brother didn't say a word, charging forward like a calf, his eyes bloodshot, looking as if he wanted to devour Xu Bin.
"Fourth Brother!" Jiang Ruzhen called out and parted the crowd to stand in front of the fourth brother.
She carefully examined the wounds from head to toe and found that they were all superficial injuries, which relieved her.
Who did this?
When the fourth brother saw Jiang Ruzhen arrive, he immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, his muscles relaxed, his lips drooped, and he looked wronged.
"Mom knows you've been wronged. Tell me, who hit you?"
Jiang Ruzhen stroked the fourth brother's head. The fourth brother's eyes were red, and he glared at Xu Bin fiercely.
Jiang Ruzhen followed his gaze and seemed to only then notice Xu Bin.
"Oh, it's Teacher Xu! Did my son Chen Zhuohang do something wrong?"
Xu Bin looked at Jiang Ruzhen and snorted coldly, "Yes, he cheated on the exam and even dared to beat up the teacher. He's simply incorrigible."
"Cheating on the exam? He's always been first in the class in math, why would he cheat?"
Xu Bin choked for a moment, and it took him a while to find his voice, "He was passing the answers to other students."
"Other classmates?" Jiang Ruzhen looked around and suddenly raised her voice angrily, "Who? Call him here so we can confront him on the spot."
The people around were startled, and even Xu Bin shuddered.
He deliberately framed Shen Zhuohang; where could he find a classmate to take the blame at this point?
"No matter what, I found the note on his desk, so he cheated."
"Then let me see the note." Jiang Ruzhen wasn't so easily fooled; she reached out and asked Xu Bin for evidence.
Xu Bin took the note out of his pocket, and Jiang Ruzhen snatched it away, glanced at it, and sneered repeatedly.
"It's really strange. The teacher said Shen Zhuohang cheated, but couldn't find a legitimate reason for him to cheat. And the handwriting on this so-called note isn't my Shen Zhuohang's handwriting."
"Teacher Xu, could you please explain to me why this is?"
Jiang Ruzhen's hand, holding the note, was almost touching Xu Bin's nose as she angrily questioned him.
Xu Bin hadn't expected Jiang Ruzhen to be so tough and confront him head-on. Since he started teaching, every other parent had treated him with utmost respect.
He felt deeply that the teacher's dignity had been trampled underfoot. "Shen Zhuohang's mother, don't make trouble here. I saw Shen Zhuohang cheating with my own eyes."
Moreover, he wouldn't admit his mistake, his attitude was extremely bad, and he even tried to hit the teacher. I can't teach a student like that, so I'll take him home...
"If you can't teach, it's your own fault. What does it have to do with my child? My Shen Zhuohang is a good student with excellent grades. He doesn't need to cheat on exams."
Furthermore, the evidence you're referring to—this note—doesn't even bear his handwriting. Professor Xu, I now request a reasonable explanation from you.
Jiang Ruzhen spoke with reason and conviction, her horrified gaze fixed on Xu Bin, causing him to take a few steps back and stammer.
“Even if I was wrong, Shen Zhuohang shouldn’t have treated his teacher like that. He even tried to hit me. How can he act like a student? What’s wrong with me making him apologize in public?”
"Does Teacher Xu have any semblance of being a teacher? Publicly accusing students of cheating and arbitrarily punishing students by abusing her position."
"Do you own a mine or a throne? What gives you the audacity to bully my child like this? Should we go to the police station and tell them about your 'heroic deeds'?"
Whoosh—
Jiang Ruzhen's words caused an uproar among everyone present.
The teachers had never seen such an arrogant and domineering parent.
The students had never seen such upright and dignified parents who unconditionally believed in and supported their children.
For a moment, the students looked at Shen Zhuohang with envy and jealousy.
They also wish they had parents like Shen Zhuohang's mother, who would speak up for them and seek justice for them.
Instead of parents who are timid and subservient to teachers.
Shen Zhuohang was also shocked by his mother's imposing manner, and deeply moved by her determination to stand up for him.
