Although her internal organs were not damaged due to Cuifeng's indulgence, her external injuries looked quite gruesome.
Covered in injuries, he would need to be hospitalized for a week, so in order not to miss classes, he insisted on sending Cuilan back home.
"Look how hard it was for me to get back to school, I don't want to fall behind. You should go back to class quickly so you can help me catch up after I'm discharged from the hospital."
Don't listen to the doctor. You can't stay a week. Three days, I'll go home to recuperate. It's more convenient at home.
Cuilan was unwilling. Her sister was hospitalized because of her, and she couldn't live with herself. How could she go back to school?
Cuihua persuaded her: "Go back. Studying is an important task for both of you. Why is your seventh sister doing this?"
Isn't it just that I'm hoping to have a quiet learning environment in the future?
"Your presence is making her feel uneasy; you'd be better off going back to study properly and teaching her at home."
Since Cuihua also had to go to work, Zhai Sanhe found a young woman in the family compound who had graduated but hadn't started working yet to take care of Cuifeng.
Give her 50 cents a day to buy three meals a day, and that money is separate from the cost of that.
"If any more people from the school come over, just let them talk to me. Don't worry about anything else, just focus on recovering."
At first, Cuifeng didn't understand what her brother-in-law meant. It wasn't until the relevant officials in charge of school education from the school, town, and township brought the parents of the perpetrators to apologize again that she realized the matter had escalated and had been reported in the city newspaper thanks to her brother-in-law's efforts.
The authorities took the impact of this matter very seriously, and the school even promised that they would not charge tuition fees until the sisters graduated.
These perpetrators also realized that the son-in-law they looked down upon seemed to have more abilities than they had expected.
Since the Tang family refused mediation, and it was a fact that the Cai, Hou, and Zhao families had assaulted Tang Cuifeng, Niu Aicao, although she had run away in the middle, had participated in the incident before and was therefore considered an accomplice. In addition, she was only thirteen years old and not yet fourteen, so she only had to compensate Tang Cuifeng twenty yuan to settle the matter.
With just these twenty yuan, Cuifeng's medical expenses for the past few days are more than enough. The remaining three families will each receive fifty yuan as medical expenses.
They can't run away with this money. Regardless of whether they accept mediation or not, they have to pay this money. It has nothing to do with being sentenced or anything like that.
Zhao Xiaohua was under sixteen but over fourteen, Hou Yanyan was seventeen, and Cai Miaomiao was eighteen. The three of them were taken away by the police.
If Cuifeng insists on not mediating, she is destined to be sentenced to imprisonment for up to three years.
Tang Cuifeng wanted to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible, but Zhai Sanhe stopped her.
"Your injuries are not minor. It's good that you protected yourself well, not that they didn't take action against you. You need to stay in the hospital for at least a week before you can be discharged. Otherwise, how could they justify the suffering you've endured?"
Zhai Sanhe had spent several months in the Public Security Bureau and was familiar with the law.
Moreover, this matter was reported in the city newspaper, and it involved violence committed by outsiders entering the school, which had a rather negative impact on the local area. It was impossible to resolve it peacefully. Although he did not want to take the lead, things had come to this point, and if he were to be bribed with money, he would inevitably be caught red-handed.
After understanding the situation, Tang Cuihua shared the same thought as Zhai Sanhe: since things had come to this, they might as well be the ones to take the lead.
Furthermore, the four families paid a total of 170 yuan in compensation. They did not ask for an exorbitant amount, and even if the matter comes up again later, they will not be criticized.
A few days later, Tang Cuifeng was discharged from the hospital. Although she was discharged, her injuries were still very obvious. Eager to learn, she went to school as soon as she was discharged.
When I got back to school, I found that the school fence had been raised, and it was all thanks to parents who were bricklayers who volunteered their spare time to help.
Nobody wants their child to be bullied at school, so as soon as the school issues an order, parents start making arrangements.
Teachers have also started to pay attention to the safety of children at school, and they would occasionally ask a few children about their situation.
Originally, there was only one old man guarding the gate, but after this incident, there were two old men: one guarding the gate and the other patrolling the campus.
The school did indeed keep their promise and waive the sisters' tuition fees for the following year.
Considering the cost, it's not a bad deal; at least it has been implemented in practice, and more children will be protected.
When the first snow of this winter fell, the news of Cai Miaomiao's three sentences of three, two, and one year imprisonment spread throughout the entire campus.
That day, the school gate was surrounded by these three families. The principal immediately called the police, preventing them from contacting the Tang sisters and the victims' families who came out to testify. When school was over, the police cleared the group out.
"Have you heard? The Niu family was dealt with by the three families working together, and they didn't dare to say a word. Niu Aicao is only thirteen years old, and her family married her off to another place as a child bride in just a few days."
"Can she not get married? The four of them went together, and she ran away. Although they brought reinforcements, they ran into the police, so it was all for nothing."
The other three were sentenced, but she was the only one who got away with it. Would the other three families be willing to accept that?
Her house was smashed to pieces. If she stayed, wouldn't she be bullied to death?
These rumors were brought over by her classmates. After the incident involving Cuifeng and Cuilan, they returned to their routine of going back and forth between home and school.
This incident made everyone realize that the two sisters, whom they had previously looked down upon, actually had powerful backers.
Given the influence of the Cai, Hou, and Zhao families in the small town, it is the most unbelievable thing since the founding of the People's Republic of China that they were ultimately sentenced for extortion.
Normally, if we encounter something like this, we would use force instead of spending money to resolve it. But this family is different; they not only had to pay compensation but also got a criminal sentence.
Who would dare to mess with them in the future?
On their way home from school, the two sisters were blocked by the perpetrators they disliked, but she wasn't afraid!
"My injuries haven't healed yet. Come on, as long as you don't kill me, I can still send all of you in."
A fierce woman who isn't even afraid of death—who wouldn't be afraid when she gets angry?
They rarely went out except when they were at school or home, especially at night. Those who wanted to take advantage of the situation to get rid of the Tang sisters couldn't just break into their house, could they?
Especially since this incident just happened, if something really happens to them, the police will immediately determine it to be a revenge killing and they will be the first ones they come to.
Having figured this out, smart people choose to avoid the issue no matter how much trouble they cause at home.
He even tried to persuade his family: "Is it not enough that my sister went in? Do you want to send me in too?"
"Who gave them the right to bully the weak? If you had intervened earlier, would they have ended up like this?"
The elder, who was being reprimanded by the younger generation, fell silent for the first time ever.
"Is it really because of their indulgence that the child has come to this point?"
The Tang family didn't care about the others, but through this incident, the cowardly Tang Cuilan clearly made progress, at least that's what we can see.
"The tough fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless." Only those who are not afraid of death are the ones you shouldn't mess with.
