These resentful words made An Hongdou stunned for a moment.
When he reacted, his face became gloomy, "Changyue, did Shen Yuexin bully you again at school?"
Shen Yuexin and An Changyue are both in elementary school, just in different grades.
Moreover, according to Shen Yuexin's temper, she might really do this.
"She just told others that I was from the country and was staying at her brother's house." Although this is true, when the rumor spread from one person to ten or a hundred people, it no longer sounded so good.
Some people secretly called her a burden, a country bumpkin, a village girl...
Due to An Hongdou's reputation in that battle, no one said it in front of her, but they talked about it behind her back a lot, and she had heard it by chance several times.
It was her deskmate who kindly told her that these words came from Shen Yuexin's mouth.
She asked Shen Yuexin herself, and she asked back, aren't these facts?
Yes, it is true, but does it matter to anyone just because she came from the countryside?
After listening to this, An Hongdou laughed, "So, do you care if others call you a burden, a country bumpkin, or a village girl?"
An Changyue shook her head. She told herself in her heart that she shouldn’t care, but she couldn’t help but care.
"Changyue, you should know that excellent people will use their time to improve themselves, and incompetent people will waste their time belittling others to gain a sense of superiority. You feel sad when you hear these words because you also know that what they say is the truth. You don't agree but you can't refute it." An Hongdou said: "Rumors can be a stumbling block that pulls you down, but they can also be a driving force for you to move forward. Others can only use these few words to attack you. Students' time should be used to study, not to spread these rumors. If you want to refute, the best way is to study hard, speak with grades, and step on them all, so that they can only look up to your existence. Then you will understand that others' contempt for you is just jealous that you are better than them."
"Excellent? Am I good enough?" An Changyue used to think that she was excellent, but after coming to the city and seeing the children there, she felt like an ugly duckling among white swans.
Others her age are about to enter junior high school, but she has just started school.
"Of course you can. You are my niece, An Hongdou. You see how good your aunt is, so you won't be any worse." An Hongdou coaxed her with a smile, "Our Changyue is smart and pretty. She just didn't have the chance to study before. Now as long as she works hard and takes it seriously, she will definitely surpass everyone and surprise others."
"Aunt, you are so nice. I feel like I have regained my confidence all of a sudden." An Changyue hugged An Hongdou excitedly.
Shen Xiangzhi came in from outside and pretended to be disappointed, "Your aunt is good, but your uncle is not? My uncle is really upset. It turns out that I am the kind of stingy and angry elder in Changyue's mind?"
He heard everything An said.
I'm not angry at all, I just want to tease this girl on purpose.
An Changyue was very embarrassed, feeling like he was caught saying bad things about someone.
An Hongdou glared at him. "No wonder Changyue thought this way. Who just said that Chen Yuexin was spoiled and didn't know her place, and couldn't be considered a bad person?"
"Ahem!" Shen Xiangzhi touched his nose and said nothing after being scolded, "Well...Is it okay if I'm wrong?"
He never thought that he would be slapped in the face unexpectedly just after saying something nice for her.
But it is true that An Changyue and Shen Yuexin are about the same age, but there is a huge difference between them in terms of temperament and character.
Regarding the rumors spreading in the school, An Hongdou simply comforted An Changyue and did not go to the school to seek justice because she felt it was unnecessary.
It was no secret that they were from the countryside, and she didn't think there was anything shameful about being from the countryside.
Even if Shen Yuexin doesn't say it, someone else will.
The school is like a small society. An Hongdou feels that as long as there is no personal danger involved, it is better for An Changyue to handle things on her own.
It is impossible for her to stay by her side for the rest of her life under the banner of doing good for her. No matter how well protected a child is, they cannot stay under the umbrella of their parents for the rest of their lives. It is not necessarily a bad thing for them to be exposed to things that are within their ability to bear at an early age.
An Changyue was not a fragile girl. She was smart and motivated. Just as An Hongdou comforted her, those rumors eventually became her motivation to move forward.
From that day on, An Changyue adjusted quickly and no longer worried about those messy things. Instead, he put all his energy into studying.
On Sunday, Shen Yuewan and Shen Yuexin did not come either.
Because something happened at the Li family again.
Just a few days after Li Er's accident, Li Da and Li San were caught smuggling antiques and cultural relics on the spot.
This is not an ordinary crime, and the man was caught on the spot, so there is no way to refute it.
Not only was the Li family completely destroyed, but some of the people who were close to the Li family or their in-laws were also affected to varying degrees.
In addition, a large group of people were involved behind the scenes, with high and low positions.
It can be said that An Hongdou's move directly overturned half of Jiangcheng's sky.
And no one knew that she had done it, even Shen Xiangzhi retreated behind the scenes, letting Mu Yuntian lead the Mu family to the front.
Although they offended many people because of this, it is undeniable that the benefits gained by the Mu family in this fight were extraordinary.
The Li family fell, and most of the people in the Li family faction were dismissed or investigated. The extra vacant positions were given to other families.
Even Shen Wanhua has been extremely busy these days. He did not take the initiative to deal with the Li family, but if he did not reap the benefits after overthrowing the Li family, others would, so whoever was polite at this time would be a fool.
The weather in Jiangcheng has been very chaotic these days, and the streets are full of people wearing red armbands.
All schools from primary school to university that could have holidays were closed, and everyone stayed at home as much as possible, for fear that the fire would burn innocent people like themselves.
Chen Xiangzhi was called out by Mu Yuntian, and when he came back he asked An Hongdou, "Do you know why we didn't find the things from the person we were following?"
An Hongdou knew he was keeping her in suspense and urged, "Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me if you know the answer."
"Several courtyards nearby belong to them. You didn't find the one we went to, but there is a secret door in that courtyard that leads to the next door, and there is a secret passage next door that leads to another place. If the people who were besieging him hadn't chased him and found the secret passage and chased him all the way, he would have really escaped." Chen Xiang knew: "You didn't go to see it, but they found a lot of things."
I just don't know if those things can be kept.
It would be a pity if it were to be damaged.
