Chapter 165

Small but powerful

"Have you seen Nie Weimin passing notes to Chen Tiantian since the first grade of junior high school?"

"Really?"

"What about you three? Does anyone like my Wei Min? He is handsome and good at studying. I'm sure a lot of girls like him, right?" Chen Lina said again.

The little girls all blushed, bit their lips, tugged at their collars, and stopped talking.

Chen Lina was so angry that her teeth ached. Then she looked at Chen Tiantian, who was still moving stools. After moving them, she asked Yuan Hua to point out that she had to pour hot water for the leaders. Although the girl was still young and short, she was really working hard. She was trying hard to be recognized and work in this factory.

"Tell me, what do you think of my Weimin? Maybe I can find a daughter-in-law for him from among you." Chen Lina said half-jokingly.

"Director, Wei Min is a good boy. Not to mention Chen Tiantian, you should not let him associate with Liu Xiaohong anymore. I tell you, that girl's character is probably not that good either." Jiao Lai Di had ears. When she heard that the girls were shy, she came over to fan the flames and add fuel to the fire, ruining Liu Xiaohong's story.

"But I heard from my sister that it was Liu Xiaohong who sent the answers to your Du Lanlan during the high school entrance examination, which enabled her to pass the exam?" Chen Lina asked back.

Jiao Lai Di's voice suddenly became louder. "Whose mother is talking nonsense? My Lanlan is a good student. She got into high school by herself. You said Liu Xiaohong gave her cheat sheets. Come on, Liu Xiaohong herself doesn't know anything. She said my Lanlan copied her. What a joke! Who said that?"

"My sister said so." said Chen Lina.

Jiao Lai Di had no intention of admitting this. "Director, your sister is a bit confused. I'm telling you the truth. Her relatives are always prone to causing trouble. You should be very careful of her."

Chen Lina really wanted Chen Lili to come and see Jiao Lai Di's face, which she refused to recognize after eating.

Didn't she just call Nie Weimin? Now Nie Weimin came and said, "Mom, what do you want to talk to me about? Didn't you say that this is a factory area and we brothers can't just wander around during working hours?"

"When you were little, did you often pass notes to Tiantian, asking her when she would finish school, asking her if she wanted to go home with you to feed the rabbits, asking her if she wanted to ride in the car with you, etc?"

"Yes, Tiantian is my sister, so what?" Nie Weimin was confused.

"What's wrong? Tiantian, come here. I'll explain to you what's going on." Chen Lina raised her voice. There was a loud speaker in front of her. It squeaked and all the female workers looked over here.

She simply put the microphone in front of her and said, "I'm sorry, comrades. We should talk about work during working hours, but now there is something that involves the honor of a female worker in our factory. I must solve it in person. Give me five minutes."

Pulling over Tiantian who was pouring water, she said, "I know she is your sister, and you also know she is your sister, but other girls don't know, Weimin. Do you know that you were the best student in junior high school and have always been excellent?

As for you, because you were neighbors, you didn't play with other kids, but only with Tiantian. In the eyes of some petty kids with ulterior motives, this kind of play was abnormal, and it meant that Tiantian wanted to hook up with you, so they gossiped about her and made up a lot of stories about her being immoral and seductive."

Jiao Lai Di got anxious when she heard this. "Director Chen, you can't say that. Liu Suiwa and Gong Xiaoxia also heard it from others..."

Chen Lina saw that Liu Suiwa and Gong Xiaoxia blushed, so she grabbed one of them and said, "Let's go to the mining area public security bureau right now. I tell you, if this really happened, it would be considered rape of an underage girl. The man who raped her will go to jail, and you, knowing about it but not reporting it, are considered a crime of harboring someone, and you will also go to jail. Do you want to come with me?"

"Director Chen, I didn't see anything. I just heard it from others!" Gong Xiaoxia was timid and burst into tears.

I heard that these four words can absolve her of all her sins.

Liu Suiwa also said, "I, I didn't see it either. We only knew about it because Du Lanlan told us. Du Lanlan is different from us. She saw it with her own eyes."

Well, Chen Lina knew that this kind of thing was just a few little girls gossiping.

But, shouldn’t everyone be held accountable for their sins?

Chen Tiantian is a good girl, but she can't even go to school because of all the gossip from her classmates. Does she deserve the humiliation?

After letting go of the two who were already frightened, Chen Lina immediately pulled Du Lanlan up and said, "Come on, didn't you see someone raping Chen Tiantian with your own eyes? You are protecting the rapist, so you are also an accomplice. I am going to report you to the police station now."

"I didn’t."

"Gong Xiaoxia and Liu Suiwa said you saw it with your own eyes, but you said you didn't. You two should go to the police station together and explain yourself clearly."

"My Lanlan is still a minor, Director Chen, the police will not arrest her. Besides, what do you mean? My Lanlan provoked you and you want to scare her?"

Jiao Laidie came here to talk to her own daughter, so she pushed Chen Lina.

Chen Lina slapped her in the face and pushed Du Lanlan in front of everyone. She said, "I tell you, Jiao Lai Di, the police will not arrest you, but take a look at your character. Ah, it's because of envy and jealousy that Nie Weimin only plays with Chen Tiantian, so she made up lies to insult her, saying that she slept with someone and that someone had an abortion with her. Your daughter is only fourteen, but her heart is as dirty as that of a 40- or 50-year-old old woman."

"Director Chen, if you continue to swear like this, I will take action."

"Come on, let's have a fight and see who wins." Chen Lina simply picked up the stool and looked like she was going to grab it.

He Min came running over, sweating profusely. "I was away for only ten minutes, why are you guys fighting?"

"He Min, turn on the speaker. I want to speak." Chen Lina threw down the stool and saw Jiao Lai Di was about to pull the girls out. She yelled, "Let them go and let them stand here."

Basically, the female workers who arrived earlier watched the incident unfold.

When the later visitors saw that the secretary had just returned and was already so angry, they immediately asked, "What happened? Why is the secretary so angry?"

The previous part explained, "A few girls in the third grade of junior high school, I guess they all had a crush on the factory director's Weimin, so they made up a lot of lies about the girl next door to Weimin's family. The girl was innocent, but they lied to her in a way that was too honest to listen to."

"Bah! Let me see what these little coquettish girls look like?" When the female workers heard this, they became angry and furious. Didn't they all squeeze in?

"Chen Tiantian is now a textile worker in our factory. I have watched her grow up since she was a child. I can vouch for her character. At the same time, I hope you will not believe in rumors, spread rumors, or make up lies. These little girls who lie and harm others are too young. I can't send them to the police station, but I can!" On the radio, Chen Lina's voice was exceptionally loud, sharp, and extremely severe.

"Comrades, you are all girls, most of you are not married yet. You should respect yourself, cherish your own reputation, and also cherish the reputation of your comrades. If there is a female comrade in my factory who likes to gossip, no matter which colleague she said something bad about, I will verify it and fire her immediately."

After saying this, he glanced around the room and saw many textile workers lowering their heads.

Chen Lina then said, "We are in a meeting now."

Weren't those three little girls pulled out by He Min? I have to say, little girls who like to gossip about others usually have very bad mental qualities.

To be honest, Chen Tiantian has been scolded for three years, and it was not until today that people found out that it was because she had a good relationship with brother Nie Weimin that made these girls jealous.

She was shaking with anger, but she still had a job, so she held a thermos bottle in her arms and stared from a distance at those female classmates who had been in the same class with her for only one year in the first grade of junior high school.

They are so shameless that they almost drove a female classmate to the point of death, yet they still look like they don't care.

As she watched, she noticed that Nie Weimin had walked by.

With his hands in his pockets, he stared at these female classmates one by one. To be honest, due to his poor academic performance, he had never paid any attention to these little girls.

But he didn't expect that it was because of their slander that he, a sister, couldn't concentrate on his studies.

Nie Weimin was about to hit Du Lanlan when Tiantian came running over and said, "Dad, this is a woolen textile factory. If you do this, people will say something about Aunt Chen."

Chen Lina is the secretary, and there is nothing wrong with her handling employee matters at the meeting. However, if word gets out that her son hit someone, people will definitely gossip.

"Get out of here right now," Nie Weimin said hoarsely, "Don't let me run into you on the streets of the mining area in the future. Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you."

The three little girls, holding one another, ran away like ashamed mice, under the contemptuous looks of all the textile workers in the factory.

Nie Weimin walked to Chen Tiantian's side with his head down and sighed. He didn't know why, but his eyes turned red before he could say anything.

"Dadan, if you dare to cry, I will tell Liu Xiaohong and we will all laugh at you." Chen Tiantian said while biting her lip after she came back from refilling water for the leaders.

Nie Weimin couldn't help wanting to laugh, as he thought that Liu Xiaohong would be angry with him for a long time if she knew that he had hit a little girl, but his eyes were still red.

"Okay, you go to college and I'll be a textile worker. Dadan, we are both serving the people, am I right?" Tiantian said again.

Well, this is the heartless kid when I was a kid, always smiling sweetly, little Candy.

However, she immediately whispered, "We are no longer the same kind of people. You, Erdan, and Xiaohong, you must study hard and don't end up like me."

From then on, her fate was separated from Dadan and Erdan.

She grew up with them, but from now on, knowledge, vision, education, everything, are separated from them. Of course, they will still meet and chat, but in essence, they are two different types of people.

It was only after get off work in the afternoon that Chen Lina had time to think about Liu Xiaohong's affairs.

Oilfield High School is now the best high school in the mining area. Although it has only three classes, the teaching staff here are the best in the entire autonomous region because of Gao Feng.

For example, the president, Chai Tianming, was a graduate of Fudan University in Shanghai and a classmate of Deng Dongya. He was originally assigned to Hotan.

After being rehabilitated, I returned to Shanghai, but as someone who was used to living in the frontier, I felt a sense of awkwardness when I returned to the city.

Besides, when he was sent down to the countryside, he had four or five children who needed to go to school. It was very difficult in the city relying only on his salary.

At that time, the mining area had frontier subsidies, and Gao Feng was also his classmate. He called him every day to invite him and promised to arrange jobs for his family. After saying so many nice things, he was finally able to become the principal.

This Chai Tianming is highly educated, aloof, and particularly arrogant.

The Oilfield High School only has one class with twenty students and a closed management system. In addition to subsidizing the tuition, the Oilfield also subsidizes their food and accommodation. In a year, the tuition for a child is only a few dozen yuan, and the three years of high school are almost in vain.

This closed management effectively separates students from the scum of society. Except during holidays, they hardly ever leave the school.

Therefore, students who are able to study there will also work very hard, and it is inevitable that they can be admitted to university.

Of the twenty students in the previous class, only one failed to get into university, and the rest all did.

This is equivalent to a 100% admission rate.

As for the mining area middle school, it has an open management system, does not provide food and accommodation, and the tuition fee is two hundred yuan a year.

Liu Xiaohong's tuition has always been paid by Chen Lina. This is why Chen Lili doesn't worry about her child at all.

Anyway, she doesn't care since she has a wealthy woman like Chen Lina to pay for Liu Xiaohong's tuition.

However, Chen Lina estimated that she would be anxious because she had a falling out with her sister this time.

Sure enough, as soon as I left the woolen textile factory, I met Wang Hongbing.

Wang Hongbing also brought Liu Xiaohong with him, and both father and daughter were sweating profusely. There was nothing they could do, in the summer in the mining area, being exposed to the sun directly could really burn their scalps.

Liu Xiaohong was fine, she ate a popsicle, but Wang Hongbing was reluctant to buy one for himself and was drinking a large cup of tea.

The water is poured in, and when exposed to the sun, it comes out from the scalp. Well, in the summer in the mining area, people don’t even need to bother peeing because all the water evaporates from the head.

"Lina, we were just about to go in to look for you, but the security team wouldn't let us in. Oh, finally you came out," said Wang Hongbing.

Chen Lina stared at Liu Xiaohong, and kept looking at her. "Why did you come to see me?"

Liu Xiaohong made a mistake and pursed her lips without saying a word.

Wang Hongbing is a good guy, a mouse in a bellows, ready to be bullied from both sides. "We just want to find you to see if you can get around the issue of Xiaohong going to school. It's really unfair to say that she plagiarized. We know our child well. She has her ability in exams, but she did cheat for others, that's true."

Chen Lina stared at Wang Hongbing fiercely and said, "Your daughter is a good student, but you let her be a gunman. Brother-in-law, do you know that if she is caught, she will be expelled from school on the spot?"

"Director Du repeatedly assured us that we would never be caught. He said that he knew the teacher who prepared us for the exam."

"Are you ready to go back home?" Chen Lina became even angrier when she heard this. It was okay for her sister to be funny, but Wang Hongbing was also funny. She really wanted to send the couple far away and send them back to their hometown.

Wang Hongbing rubbed his hands and kept saying, "I apologize to you and Xiaohong, but Lina, when you are in the underworld, you really can't help yourself sometimes. Director Du didn't give me the mulch film, so I can only watch the sky and can't farm. I know he blocked me because he wanted Xiaohong to help his daughter, but I can't do anything. Tell me, I am a farmer on a farm, what can I do?"

"You should have told me about this right away. I would have scolded Du Qiming," said Chen Lina.

But sometimes, that's just the reality.

Many people usually have their own positions and principles, but when it comes to their own children, they can do anything.

Chen Lina thought to herself, Du Qiming, ah Du Qiming, I thought you were a comrade at first, but I didn't expect you to do such a big thing for the sake of the child. You have ruined your future.

Chen Lili was hiding behind a tree and listening. Of course, after such a commotion, she was too embarrassed to see Chen Lina again.

"Lina, you are the leader, and you know the leaders of the mining area. Go talk to Principal Chai about Xiaohong's matter, okay? If our Xiaohong wants to go to the mining area middle school, of course that's fine. I will take care of her no matter what.

But, after all, schools are different. She is going to Oilfield Middle School, which will not only save a lot of tuition, but I believe the school she can get into will also be better."

"It's no use telling me this. Brother-in-law, do you know that someone has reported Xiaohong's plagiarism to the mining area? I have been trying to get you the position of director of the hydropower plant, but now it's probably over. You probably have no choice but to return to your hometown."

Chen Lina had already seen Chen Lili, and of course, she said this intentionally for her to hear.

After all, there are parents involved between sisters. It is not right for them to become enemies.

However, for someone like Chen Lili, she must be cured deeply at once, otherwise she will have brain seizures from time to time, and the whole family will be in trouble.
