Qin Yaxin responded.
"Afraid of Song Jiaojiao?"
Song Lan asked.
"Mmm-hmm-hmm."
Qin Yaxin nodded repeatedly.
"Then stay away from her, keep your mind clear at all times, don't leave the school gate casually anymore, and stick close to your second brother to and from school."
Song Lan met Qin Yaxin's gaze, her clear and calm eyes filled with seriousness: "In short, never be alone. That way, even if Song Jiaojiao has a plan, she will have a hard time getting things done."
Furthermore, I'm telling you all this not just to protect yourself from Song Jiaojiao, but for anyone who wants to endanger your life. If you can do what I'm saying, then such danger will naturally be hard to get close to you.
"I'll listen to my sister-in-law!"
It wasn't that Qin Yaxin was timid, but Song Lan's expression was too serious, which made her have to be wary of Song Jiaojiao.
If, because she didn't heed advice, because of her carelessness, she really fell for Song Jiaojiao's scheme, such as if the other party tricked her into going to a secluded place through others... Qin Yaxin didn't dare to think any further. Seeing her face suddenly turn pale, Song Lan knew that she was probably frightened by what she said, and couldn't help but comfort her:
"Alright, we're just talking about the worst-case scenario. After all, it's always good to be cautious when you're out and about. You don't need to be too nervous and scare yourself unnecessarily."
"I am indeed a little nervous right now."
Qin Yaxin smiled awkwardly: "There's a saying, 'A dog that bites doesn't bark,' and another, 'The prepared mind can catch the unprepared.' Originally, I wasn't afraid of Song Jiaojiao at all..."
But sister-in-law, you described Song Jiaojiao as very cunning, and I... I can't help but worry that one day I might be careless and give Song Jiaojiao an opportunity to... and thus do something detrimental to me.
"If you're so worried, there's another possibility in this world called 'accident.' Okay, take a deep breath, think about happy things, and you'll relax soon."
Song Lan put the prepared ingredients into a plate and said, "In life, we will encounter all kinds of people and all kinds of things. What we can do is not to make enemies for ourselves, and to stay calm when things happen, and then find a way to deal with them. Once we lose our composure, we may miss the opportunity to get out of trouble and solve the problem."
"I see."
Qin Yaxin benefited greatly from the experience, and she looked at Song Lan with some emotion in her eyes: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for teaching me all this!"
"Since you know I'm your sister-in-law, is it necessary for you to thank me?"
Song Lan shook her head and said with a smile, "The food is ready. Go wash your hands and tell your older brother and the others to wash up too. Your sister-in-law will start cooking for us now."
"good."
Qin Yaxin got up from the small stool in front of the stove. She responded and turned to leave the kitchen, but then stopped and turned to Song Lan, asking, "Sister-in-law, I've been wanting to ask you something these past few days, but I've always forgotten. Now that I've remembered, can I ask you something?"
Song Lan: "Go ahead and ask."
Why was Song Jiaojiao assigned to five days of ideological education and labor reform by the police station?
To this day, Qin Yaxin is unaware of the rumors.
Song Jiaojiao wanted to use the rumor to provoke Qin Yaxin and create conflict between Song Lan and her sister-in-law Qin Yaxin, but she was worried that if the police found out, they would say that she was unrepentant. If that happened, the consequences would not be what she wanted.
You don't need to know.
Song Lan changed the subject: "This dish is ready, you can take it to the table."
"Is it that you can't tell me?"
Qin Yaxin took the stir-fried green beans and eggs that Song Lan handed her and stood there for a long time without moving.
Song Lan responded, "Children should focus more on their studies."
Qin Yaxin frowned: "I'm not young anymore!"
"It seems you'll have something on your mind if I don't tell you."
Helpless, Song Lan looked up at Qin Yaxin and said slowly, "Song Jiaojiao was sent to the police station for ideological education and labor reform because of spreading rumors. And the person she was spreading rumors about was me. Do you want to hear more?"
A struggle flashed in Qin Yaxin's eyes: "I... if it's difficult for my sister-in-law to say, I can choose not to listen any further."
"Okay, I'll continue."
Song Lan said calmly, "It's the rumors about me that we heard back in the capital."
"How could I not have thought of that?!"
Qin Yaxin freed one hand to pat her head and said, "Song Jiaojiao is simply a scoundrel! My brother clearly saved my sister-in-law in time, how could she fabricate rumors and arbitrarily slander her reputation?!"
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she widened her eyes and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you mean that the rumor that you were assaulted by two hooligans was fabricated and spread by Song Jiaojiao from the very beginning?"
"Um."
Song Lan nodded.
"What a despicable person!"
As Qin Yaxin spoke, guilt filled her eyes: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you. It was my fault, I was too curious."
"nothing."
Song Lan shook her head, indicating that she didn't care.
At the same time, in Shisong Village.
What do you mean by this?
Song Jiaojiao returned to the educated youth compound near dusk yesterday, and by the time the sun had set today, she was feeling incredibly frustrated. She found that everyone in the compound treated her like she was avoiding a plague, especially the female educated youths in her dormitory, including Yuan Xiaoya, who completely isolated her. It was truly outrageous!
So, Song Jiaojiao couldn't hold back and lashed out at her female roommate, a former educated youth.
To her surprise, no one responded to her.
"I only had a minor incident, what's the big deal? Do you all need to ostracize me like this?"
Song Jiaojiao glanced at the female educated youths, finally fixing her gaze on Yuan Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, why are you doing the same to others who are ostracizing me? I was just chatting with you and sharing some gossip, and you took advantage of it, paying people to go to the gate of the machinery factory..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Xiaoya interrupted him rudely: "Shut up! It's all your fault, stop trying to pin this on me!"
"Did I frame you? You're the one who wanted to get back at my second sister, using my offer to pay people to spread rumors at the factory gate, trying to ruin her reputation."
If we're talking about mistakes, yours are far more serious than mine. But just because your family is powerful, you get away scot-free, while I'm the one taking the blame. Xiaoya, we're friends. It's not enough that I took the blame for you at the police station; I can't go back to the youth center and continue to take the blame for you while everyone misunderstands me.
Despite Song Jiaojiao exposing her family's wealth, Yuan Xiaoya remained unconcerned. She said sarcastically, "Envy my good family background? That's useless. If you're so capable, make yourself have a good family background too. If you can really achieve that, let's see who dares to be tactless in front of you and avoid you like the plague."
"Yuan Xiaoya, can't you speak properly? Do you think we're all snobs?"
One of the female educated youths suddenly seemed to have a fuse lit; she felt that Yuan Xiaoya was insulting her and couldn't help but retort.
