Chapter 5 Rotation
Chapter 5 Rotation
Based on the clues provided by Fang Qing, the police quickly arrested a group of criminals with major suspicions. But along with this good news, some rumors about Fang Qing also spread.
"Hey, have you heard? The daughter of the Fang family was raped by a hooligan!"
"Who told you that? I saw that girl going out to buy fabric yesterday, and she even said hello to me when we met. Doesn't it look like she's in trouble?"
"Tsk tsk, just pretend! For the young people nowadays, this is nothing..."
"Oh, that's a pity, I quite like that girl..."
"Hey! What are the ladies talking about? Can I listen too?"
Fang Cuiying, the younger sister of the Fang family, stood behind them at some point, folding her arms and looking at the neighbor sisters as if she was watching a show. Although she was smiling, her eyes were cold.
Being caught saying bad things about others, they felt very embarrassed and scattered like birds with bright smiles, leaving the young lady from the Fang family standing alone at the entrance of the alley sulking.
"A bunch of old gossipers! If I hear you guys spreading rumors behind my back again, I'll smash your door!"
After spat- ing in the direction where the men left, Fang Cuiying angrily walked towards her second brother's house.
This weekend, Fang Qing's father happened to be resting at home. Her aunt wanted to consult her second brother about something, so she came here early with the materials. She didn't expect to hear others making up stories about her own niece. She sat on the chair and drank two glasses of water before Fang Cuiying's anger subsided a little.
"Second sister-in-law, why did you agree to Qingqing calling the police? Now those gossipers out there are spreading bad things about our Qingqing everywhere. What will happen to this child in the future?"
Fang's mother was also helpless. She explained the reason why Fang Qing insisted on calling the police, and finally sighed, "She chose her own path, so let her go on her own!"
The younger aunt sighed helplessly and asked about her second brother. She found out that he had heard about this incident last night and had been drinking all night. He hasn't woken up yet. She had no choice but to leave the information in her hand and wait for him to wake up and help her look at it.
When Fang Qing heard that her aunt was coming, she immediately pulled her into her room and pointed to a few pieces of cloth and a blueprint on the bed and asked her for help. "Aunt, I want to make two school bags. Can you help me see how to sew?"
Seeing the blueprint drawn by Fang Qing, Fang Cuiying was surprised, "Qingqing, where did you get this blueprint?"
Fang Qing didn't know how to explain it for a moment. He couldn't say that he saw it on TV when he was in a mental hospital in his previous life, right?
"Um... my schoolbag is broken, and I have a lot of textbooks now. The single shoulder strap always hurts my shoulders, so I thought of a new one myself, but I don't know how to sew it..."
Fang Cuiying understood, patted Fang Qing on the shoulder, and said with a reassuring expression, "This is easy, leave it to me, and I promise that you will have a new schoolbag in three days. You know what, this picture you drew is quite realistic. You are indeed the daughter of our Fang family, and you have a talent for art..."
Picking up the fabric and drawings prepared by Fang Qing, Fang Cuiying left with great interest.
In the evening, Fang Ming pushed his bicycle back home. As soon as he entered the house, his mother saw the injuries on his face. But no matter how his mother asked, he just said that he fell off his bicycle and then hid in the house and refused to come out.
After a while, my uncle Fang Deli also came to visit.
"Second sister-in-law, what delicious food are you going to make today? I can smell the fragrance from far away." Fang Deli leaned on the kitchen door frame and looked inside, but was slapped out by Fang's mother.
"Go away, if you don't want to help, just sit aside. Why did you bear to leave the cinema today?" Fang's mother asked about her uncle's recent situation while cooking.
Fang Qing's uncle was spoiled by his family since he was a child, and developed a lazy character. Now he is almost 30 years old. Not to mention having a partner, he doesn't even have a stable job. All he does all day is eat, drink and have fun with his bad friends. Recently, he has become addicted to watching movies and asks his brothers and sisters for money every day.
When Fang's mother saw his expression, she knew that her uncle must be out of money again. However, her husband's salary for this month had not been paid yet, and she had just paid the children's tuition a few days ago. Where would she have the money to squander?
Just when Fang's mother was worried, Fang Ming opened the door, walked out and greeted his uncle.
"Daming, what's wrong with your face?" Although uncle Fang Deli is not doing his job properly, he cares a lot about his children, especially Fang Ming and Fang Qing, who grew up under his care, so naturally he has a special relationship with them.
Seeing that Fang Ming didn't say anything, Fang Deli rolled his eyes and felt that something must have happened, so he pulled Fang Ming into the yard, and the two of them whispered to each other.
Fang Deli's expression changed from nonchalant at first to gradually becoming serious. Finally, he rolled up his sleeves and his face turned livid. Then he patted Fang Ming on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. I'll take care of these bastards who are full of shit!"
After saying that, he angrily opened the door and disappeared into the night.
In the attic, Fang Qing, who was originally reviewing her homework, accidentally heard the conversation between her brother and uncle. She learned that the rumors about her were already spreading like wildfire. Although she understood that this was inevitable, she had no intention of continuing to read and simply began to pack her luggage for returning to school tomorrow.
When Fang Qing saw an extra box of plaster in the luggage, he immediately thought of the Wen brothers and sisters.
She left the Wen family in a hurry that day and forgot her bag, so the two siblings made a special trip to personally deliver it to her. The younger sister of the Wen family also held her hand and told her to take a rest, and the two of them also agreed to get lunch together after returning to school, which made her look forward to her future life.
Fang Qing held the ointment in his hand, and seemed to have finally found a bit of courage to face tomorrow, and his uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
But Fang Qing didn't know that her actions triggered a series of changes, and the gears of fate had begun to turn quietly.
In a private house, a couple was also discussing Fang Qing's matter.
"I used to like Fang Qing, but now that something like this has happened, I think we should just forget about the marriage that grandpa had arranged for me..."
The man took a sip of tea and nodded, "That's for sure. Our son is a handsome man, and he will definitely be a rare talent in the future. How can his future partner have such a stain? Moreover, this matter was originally decided by grandfather, and he didn't ask us at the beginning. Now it's a new era, so it's better not to have this old social custom."
The woman was relieved. "Then do it as soon as possible to avoid trouble in the future."
"Don't worry, I know."
At the same time, different scenes were playing out in various places in Jingtan County:
Outside the steel plant's family compound, two groups of young men were fighting with shovels and sticks. As the police car arrived, everyone fled in all directions...
In a dark corner in the suburbs, a dirty curly-haired beggar robbed a passerby's bag and hid in a corner, frantically searching for money. However, he was recognized while dining in a restaurant and fled into the night with his steamed bun...
In the dance hall, a pretty girl was listening to the recent rumors about Fang Qing, smiling with pride.
"Fang Qing, the show is about to begin."
