The village chief of Xihe Village is also surnamed Zhou. He and his grandparents are from the same extended family. It was through their connection that the village chief met the Tao family. Afterwards, the Tao family moved to their village. They were known for their upright and honest conduct, and the village chief had a very good impression of them.
Thinking that her grandson had almost been stung to death by wasps and only survived thanks to the Tao family, she didn't forget to run to the Tao family to let them know when she got home to pack her grandson's things.
Because they had promised Cui Mei, the village chief only told them that the child was out of danger and had been moved to the county hospital.
Xiao Jiu didn't take it seriously, thinking that Jin Suo was lucky and didn't have any problems, completely unaware that her fifth sister had played a part in it.
But after that, she clearly felt that the village chief visited their house more frequently, especially asking about the Tang family's situation, which made her a little confused. When did the Tang family's relationship with the village chief's family become so harmonious?
In mid-August, schools gradually reopened, and Cui Mei directly entered the third year of junior high school. Her roommates were stunned by her quiet skipping of a grade.
Cui Mei is an extremely adaptable person who only focuses on her own affairs. She doesn't care about interpersonal relationships at all, especially since junior high school was just a transitional period for her.
She only skipped a grade, and look at all these sour faces, they even dare to do dirty tricks behind her back.
She helps out in the kitchen, and when things get busy, she helps serve them some food. Why should they ask her to serve them more food?
And on what grounds did she publicly report that she was unfair, hitting others more and hitting them less?
Cui Mei ignored the scoundrels led by Cui Fangfang and simply showed them the meal tickets in her hand.
"Open your eyes and look carefully. They gave you two more grain coupons than you, so of course I'm going to give them more. You can have it if you want, just give me the coupons!"
Cui Mei didn't tolerate Cui Fangfang's behavior, and the others weren't much better. They stood up and tried to morally blackmail her. She was used to this kind of situation and was too lazy to deal with it. Later, she simply stopped going to the front to help get food and stayed in the kitchen to wash dishes. It was tiring, but it was peaceful!
Although Cui Mei knew this was wrong, she was too lazy to spend time on interpersonal relationships, but she never expected that human nature could be so bad.
After a long and tiring day, she wanted to read as much as possible under the lights before the classroom lights went out, but as soon as she lay down in her dorm room, she was dumbfounded.
Because her bedding had been splashed with water, the other people in the dormitory pretended to be asleep, but in reality, they were all laughing at her.
Even a fool could figure out who did it. Without asking (which would have been pointless), Cui Mei ran to the water room, scooped up a ladle of water, brought it in, and splashed it accurately onto Cui Fangfang's face in front of everyone.
While she was still screaming, he grabbed her hair, dragged her off the bed, and then attacked her in a sneaky manner.
"I'll teach you to be a bad student and bully others, damn it! Do you think I'm easy to bully? What did I ever do to you that you come here to pick a fight with me every day? What, I'm in the third year of junior high now, a year ahead of you, and you're upset about that? Jealous? You even dared to spill water on my bed? Today I'll beat you until you apologize to me!"
Despite Cui Mei's seemingly fierce actions, she was actually a medical student and knew exactly where to hit. To prevent Cui Fangfang from showing this to others, she simply grabbed her hair and then, in a seemingly chaotic but organized manner, pinched the most sensitive spots. Cui Fangfang cried out in pain, cursing and refusing to admit defeat.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of teachers and students in other rooms, who rushed over with flashlights.
Hearing the chaotic footsteps, Cui Mei couldn't help but slap herself a few times. Then, glancing at the corner of the table next to her, she gritted her teeth, found the right spot, and rammed her head into it. She even deliberately messed up her hair and tore her clothes.
Zhao Doudou and Zhang Shengnan stared in disbelief at the scene. They managed to utter a single syllable before covering their mouths as people rushed in from outside.
Immediately afterward, Cui Mei rushed over as if she had found a savior, grabbing their hands in a panic. She looked terrified and frightened, unable to speak her anger, and could only sob pitifully.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Why are you fighting? Who is this? Stand up and speak!"
Then Zhao Doudou and Zhang Shengnan witnessed Tang Cuimei's textbook-perfect response. Compared to Cui Fangfang, who only knew how to hysterically yell and scream to complain, Cuimei did only one thing: she pulled the teacher to her bunk, her voice trembling with fear.
"I just came back from the classroom and saw her splashing water on my bed. When I caught her, she denied it, so I got angry and splashed water back at her. Then she turned around and hit me. Teacher, I feel dizzy and lightheaded now. My head is bleeding. She hit me so hard that I'm seeing stars and kept slapping me. Teacher, I can't take it anymore, teacher..."
Tang Cuimei became increasingly agitated and distressed as she spoke. True to her medical background, she was perfectly capable of such a professional act, collapsing into her teacher's arms in full view of everyone. Meanwhile, the girl lying on the ground, who had been throwing a tantrum, was not only full of energy but also had a booming voice, claiming she had been beaten. Yet, when a flashlight was shone on her, there were no marks whatsoever. In comparison, Tang Cuimei looked utterly pathetic…
Cui Mei was sent to the township health center overnight. The other girls in the dormitory looked at each other, and they all saw the fear in their eyes.
This is a master, definitely not someone to be trifled with!
Isn't Cui Fangfang amazing?
But what's the use of being so capable if you mess things up at crucial moments? It's hard to explain why she screamed so pitifully when no one even touched her.
On the other hand, Tang Cuimei went so far as to harm herself so severely in order to frame Cui Fangfang. Who the hell would dare to offend someone like that in the future?
Even if they were called to the teacher's office now to be questioned about what happened, and they told the truth, the teacher would not only not think they were telling the truth, but would also think they were covering up for Cui Fangfang, because anyone with eyes could see who the real victim was.
So, those who were taken to the teacher's office one by one to inquire about what happened all pretended to be blind and only told the important points.
It was indeed Cui Fangfang herself who personally splashed water on Tang Cuimei's stall, and not just one ladle of water.
That's the truth. As for the rest, it doesn't matter whether we talk about it or not. Anyway, Tang Cuimei is just retaliating against her. If she hadn't provoked her, would Tang Cuimei have treated her like this? It's all her own fault. At this moment, even Cui Fangfang's usual lackeys have turned against her.
Cui Fangfang felt incredibly wronged, but even if she had ten mouths, she couldn't explain herself clearly. In the end, when the school announced that she should bring her parents in and ordered her to apologize to Tang Cuimei in person, she herself fell into self-doubt.
[Am I really that good? Did I beat Tang Cuimei into that wretched state?]
Cui Fangfang's parents were called in. The teacher thought she came from a well-off family, otherwise she wouldn't be so arrogant. But when her parents came, the teacher understood where her sense of superiority came from.
Her father was the village chief, and her mother was a notorious shrew in the village. She had four older brothers and only one daughter, who was very protective of her.
Instead of confronting his daughter's mistakes upon arriving at school, he raised his voice and rolled up his sleeves, ready to discipline Tang Cuimei.
The angry principal immediately announced that Cui Fangfang would be expelled.
When they heard that Cui Fangfang was going to be expelled, her family was terrified. They quickly apologized to the teacher, pleaded with the principal, and even promised to discipline her properly at home in the future.
Although the principal was temporarily appeased, he knew that Tang Cuimei could no longer stay in that dormitory. Fortunately, his niece taught math at the school and occupied the smallest room with a bunk bed. No teacher had been assigned there yet. After much consideration, he transferred Tang Cuimei there.
Tang Cuimei never expected that her efforts would actually result in a different dormitory for her. She was overjoyed and even went to the principal to thank him.
"No need to thank me. Just study hard and get into the top high school in the city. That way, all my help won't have been in vain. Got it? Study hard."
Tang Cuimei had already taken advantage of the summer vacation to learn about the types of questions in the high school entrance examination. Whether it was Tao Zui or Tao Ran Zhou Yue, they were willing to share their experiences with her. She made notes on which types of questions were important, which ones needed to be memorized, and which ones did not require too much effort.
Although junior high school questions were very easy for her, after all, she had studied medicine for so many years and had seen all kinds of situations. She had even studied university-level mathematics, so these childish things were nothing to her.
Therefore, she was not worried at all, but she was also afraid that she would be too proud and overlook some details. That's why she was so cautious. She consulted others and repeatedly practiced and studied the three years of junior high school textbooks. So she was 100% confident that she would be admitted to the top high school in the city.
She will also use time to prove that the principal's choice was not wrong.
After this battle, Tang Cuimei clearly noticed that the way those girls looked at her had changed, and they no longer dared to provoke her casually.
Cui Fangfang still felt wronged and resentful, and would glare at her every time she saw her. But she dared not act recklessly again, because the principal had already made a decision: if any similar incident was discovered, she would be expelled immediately if any classmate reported her, and no amount of pleading would work.
She finally got into junior high school, and she was hoping to find a job with her junior high school diploma. If she got expelled, she would be laughed at if she went back to the village.
It was through this that she forced herself to swallow her anger.
Having been upset at school and unable to vent her frustrations, Cui Fangfang's temper became completely uncontrollable once she returned to Qilihe Village.
She especially liked to bully Huang Douzi, the adopted daughter of the Huang family. Just now, on the way home from school, she saw Huang Douzi carrying a bamboo basket of pig feed, so she immediately pulled her schoolbag and quilt off her shoulders, threw them directly to Huang Douzi, and bossed her around.
"Hey, stop right there! Take my backpack and blanket home with me. I'm going to play with my classmate, you hear me?"
