Chapter 166 The Growth of Children
Jiang Ruzhen and Lu Mingzheng first went to the flight school to see their youngest son, who was training there.
I took a quick look around at noon.
The fourth child has lost weight and grown taller, but his eyes are bright and his spirits are high.
Jiang Ruzhen hardly recognized him. "My dear son, it's only been a few months, but you seem like a completely different person."
"Hello, Mom! You've worked so hard!"
The fourth brother snapped to attention and gave Jiang Ruzhen a standard military salute.
"...Did you eat well? Are you tired?" Jiang Ruzhen asked again, her lips twitching.
"Serve the people! Never complain about hardship or fatigue." The fourth brother answered again with a firm and resounding voice.
Jiang Ruzhen stared at Lao Si speechlessly for a long time, then stuffed the five hundred yuan she had prepared into his hand and turned to leave.
The fourth child called after her, "Hey, Mom, Mom..."
"I am now the people, not your mother..."
Jiang Ruzhen waved her hand and left without looking back, while Lu Mingzheng struggled to suppress his laughter.
He patted the fourth brother on the shoulder, "Good job, keep it up."
After saying that, he left as well.
The fourth brother, left bewildered in the wind, wiped his face and calmly turned to walk back.
Jiang Ruzhen went to see Shen Shuxin again; she should be in her dormitory by now, having finished her meal.
After registering with the dormitory supervisor, Jiang Ruzhen asked Lu Mingzheng to wait for her downstairs while she went upstairs alone with a bunch of delicious food in her bags to see Xin Xin.
Before I even reached the door, I saw that Xin Xin's dormitory was surrounded by people, and there was a lot of noise coming from inside.
“Shen Shuxin, yesterday it was just the two of us in the dorm, only you saw where I hid the money.”
It's gone today. Who else could it be but you? You thief, I'm going to report you to the school and get you expelled.
"I was rushing to finish my manuscript yesterday afternoon, who would have noticed your sneaky actions? What makes you accuse me of stealing your money? Do you have any evidence?"
"My words are the best evidence. There are only two of us in this dorm room. My money is missing. If you didn't steal it, did a ghost steal it?"
"Your words are evidence? Are you the emperor? Are your words an imperial edict?"
The surrounding students burst into laughter.
"You... Shen Shuxin, don't think you can cover this up just because you're good at talking. You call yourself a model student and an outstanding cadre? It's a huge joke that Professor Wang would take someone with such bad character as his last disciple."
I'm going to report you to the principal and teachers for stealing. Let's see how you still have the nerve to accept these honors.
"What are you yelling about? If being loud meant you were right, donkeys would have ruled the world long ago. Don't spread rumors and cause trouble without evidence."
"Sue me wherever you want. Looking at your jealous and hateful face, I could easily accuse you of deliberately hiding the money to frame me and then using me to climb the ladder!"
"Shen Shuxin, you're spouting nonsense."
"Zhang Cuihua, you're being unreasonable."
"You...you're incredibly arrogant. Don't think that just because Xie Hui is backing you up, you can act with impunity. There is still fairness and justice in this world."
"You talk strangely, bringing up Professor Wang one minute and Xie Hui the next. What exactly are you trying to say?"
Is it envy that I was accepted as Professor Wang's last disciple, or jealousy that Xie Hui, the school heartthrob, showed me such great care?
You think that without me, you can become Professor Wang's last disciple and Xie Hui will even give you a second glance?
"Zhang Cuihua, hurry up and wash up and go to bed, so these sweet dreams can come true sooner."
The students around Shen Shuxin thought her words made a lot of sense, and their gazes toward Zhang Cuihua were all ambiguous.
Shen Shuxin was already very popular, and many of her classmates spoke up for her.
Many people ridiculed Zhang Cuihua for overestimating her abilities.
"you......"
"Stop 'you, you'! Call the police! When Uncle Hat arrives, all the monsters and demons will naturally reveal their true forms."
"You called the police for such a trivial matter? The principal won't let you ruin the school's reputation."
A look of panic flashed in Zhang Cuihua's eyes as she vehemently retorted, but Shen Shuxin gave her a cold laugh.
"Didn't you lose money? It was two months' worth of living expenses, a hundred yuan! Aren't you worried about losing so much money? When we encounter this kind of lost money, our first reaction is to call the police."
And you? You're playing the victim, trying to use public opinion to overpower me and force me to submit. I think you've miscalculated, Zhang Cuihua!
I'm the top student in the School of Media Studies. When it comes to leveraging public opinion, I'm the best. Don't embarrass yourself with your petty tricks.
Shen Shuxin's powerful words convinced everyone once again, and the scales tipped completely in her favor.
Someone in the crowd suggested, "Since Zhang Cuihua says she lost her money, let's all help her look for it."
Everyone, keep your eyes peeled and search everywhere, don't miss under the mattress...
Upon hearing her classmate's words, Zhang Cuihua panicked. She stomped her foot and cried out that Shen Shuxin was bullying her, and that everyone was biased towards Shen Shuxin and deliberately bullied her.
But her flustered gaze kept glancing under the mattress.
Shen Shuxin strode forward, shoved Zhang Cuihua aside, and lifted the mattress off her bed.
With a clatter, a stack of banknotes fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned. Shen Shuxin used her foot to count the bills one by one, and there were exactly one hundred yuan.
"Zhang Cuihua, do you see that? There's a hundred yuan right under your mattress. What do you have to say for yourself now?"
Shen Shuxin crossed her arms and looked coldly at Zhang Cuihua. Zhang Cuihua hurriedly squatted down and picked up all the money, stuffing it into her pocket.
He stammered, "I just forgot for a moment, that's why I suspected you. Let's just let this go, I won't pursue it any further."
She turned to leave after speaking, but Shen Shuxin grabbed her wrist and said sternly.
"You think you can just drop the matter like that? Now it's my turn to pursue this. You're coming with me to the professor's office. This isn't over yet!"
Seeing this, Jiang Ruzhen already wanted to applaud and cheer for Shen Shuxin.
Her daughter is amazing!
Intelligent, confident, and quick-witted.
Throughout the entire process, I never fell into the trap of self-justification. Instead, I found loopholes in the other party's words, refuted them logically, and gradually dismantled their psychological defenses.
Until Zhang Cuihua broke down.
This is simply the best example of a comeback from the brink of defeat. Her daughter did it, and she is truly proud of her.
Throughout the entire process, she was visibly agitated and almost wanted to secretly cover her face and burst into tears.
She never imagined that her daughter, who had always been quiet, well-behaved, and seemingly invisible since childhood, could grow up to be this successful.
Now that our daughter has won, let her be the one to add the finishing touch!
"Make way, make way, everyone please make way."
She's about to start throwing money at people!
