The ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar is another market day. Shuying, who just woke up at 9:30, hurriedly rode his bicycle to the market.
The couple had been too exhausted last night, and thanks to her being used to being exhausted these days, she felt sore in her back and waist, and her legs were weak, but at least she didn't fall back to bed dizzy like she did in the first few times.
But she still had some aftereffects from riding a bike. Her legs were shaking and her body was sore. However, she had promised her child to buy watermelons at the market, and she didn't want to break her promise to the child.
She went to the market to buy vegetables, watermelons and a few pounds of wool before she came back.
She was the only one at home, so she just ate a simple lunch.
After lunch, Mrs. Gao came to Chen's courtyard to find her.
Shuying then learned from Mrs. Gao that Xia Lina had been punished by the military district this morning for accusing her last night. Xia Lina was suspended from school for half a year and had to reflect on her actions at home.
Mrs. Gao still felt that this was too cheap for Xia Lina.
But it is understandable. After all, there are few educated people in the military area, and it was rare for Xia Lina to graduate from junior high school. Otherwise, Xia Lina would not have been so arrogant in the military area.
Shuying didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he was not very satisfied with the result.
Mrs. Gao said, "Sister Yang, who can blame us for having few educated people in our military region? But this punishment is not too severe, but it is not too light either. Xia Lina teaches at a primary school in the military region, and she earns a few dozen yuan a month. If she is suspended from teaching for half a year, how much money will she lose? About one or two hundred yuan, enough to make her bleed!"
Shuying's eyes flickered but he said nothing.
Mrs. Gao asked again, "By the way, Sister Yang, how did you offend the wife of Political Commissar Ye?"
Shuying then realized that Xia Lina had also mentioned that she was Political Commissar Ye's wife. However, Liu Shujuan, who had been a stepmother for so many years, was also scheming. Of course, she could not admit it. She only said that she heard it from others, and when others talked about it, she would also gossip a few words.
After hearing that Political Commissar Ye's wife was involved, Shuying was certain that the source of the rumor must be related to Liu Jiao.
Shuying asked Mrs. Gao whether Liu Jiao was involved. Mrs. Gao said, "I haven't heard about that."
While Shuying was talking to Mrs. Gao, Political Commissar Liang came to apologize with Xia Lina, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.
When Political Commissar Liang brought Xia Lina to Chen's house, many sisters-in-law came over to watch the fun and gossip.
Xia Lina has always been a person who cares about her reputation. She felt so ashamed and angry when she heard the sisters-in-law around her secretly talking about her.
She also remembered that she was almost expelled from the military district primary school that morning because she reported Yang Shuying. If there were not so few people with high academic qualifications in the military district, she might have been expelled this time.
Xia Lina was filled with fear.
Last night she was still secretly thinking about how Xi Yang Shuying was sent back to the countryside, but who would have thought that today she was the one who was almost fired.
Xia Lina felt so heartbroken when she thought about the fact that she would lose about 100 or 200 yuan in income because of the half-year suspension of classes.
Political Commissar Liang now told Shuying about Xia Lina's punishment, and also said that Xia Lina would help her clarify the rumors about child abuse in the military region, and that he brought people to her house this time specifically to apologize to her.
Xia Lina was particularly unwilling.
She was very regretful now. She didn't regret reporting Yang Shuying, but she regretted that she was eager to see what would happen to Yang Shuying after being divorced and sent back to the countryside by Chen Tuan, and she impulsively reported the person instead of secretly passing the report.
So many people in the military district were talking about Yang Shuying abusing her child, even Political Commissar Ye's wife was very sure about it, but Xia Lina still didn't believe that Yang Shuying didn't abuse her child, and she was also sure that the military district would never expel her.
She said, "Why should I apologize? I didn't say anything wrong. Everyone in the military said so. The Chen Tuan family didn't abuse their children. How can others say that? I'm not the only one who said that! Why should I be suspended from school for half a year?"
"Political Commissar Liang, you should investigate further. The child is only Chen Tuan's nephew, not her own. How can you tell whether she said one thing to you but did another behind your back?"
Shuying had been holding his anger in for the entire night, and now he simply couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked up to Xia Lina and slapped her twice, causing Xia Lina to see stars and scream in pain.
The sisters-in-law around had all heard that the Chen family's daughter-in-law was particularly gentle and easy to talk to, and Mrs. Gao had never seen Shuying lose her temper. So, Shuying suddenly slapped Xia Lina twice, and everyone around was stunned.
Even Xia Lina, who was hit so hard that she saw stars, was stunned. She couldn't believe that Yang Shuying dared to slap her in the face.
The burning pain on her face made Xia Lina so angry that she trembled all over and wanted to fight Shu Yingpa to the death.
"Sister Yang, be careful!" Mrs. Gao said hurriedly.
When Political Commissar Liang came to his senses and tried to stop Xia Lina, it was too late. Xia Lina was furious at this moment. She raised her foot to kick Shuying in the stomach and reached out to slap him back.
The shadow of the tree flashed past swiftly and swept her other leg with its foot. Xia Lina staggered unsteadily.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shuying used the anti-wolf shoulder throw technique he had learned in school, grabbed her wrist, and threw her heavily to the ground from behind his right shoulder.
There was a loud bang, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Xia Lina fell to the ground, screaming in pain, her face twisted in pain.
The people who were originally worried about the Chen family's daughter-in-law were stunned to see that the very weak Chen family's daughter-in-law actually threw the strong Xia Lina to the ground.
Oh my God!
Everyone, including Mrs. Gao, was stunned. Even Political Commissar Liang was stunned. Did Chen Tuan teach his wife these skills?
Oh my god!
Why did Chen Tuan teach his wife to fight?
Look, the people who were impatient with Xia Lina just now saw that Xia Lina was thrown to the ground by Yang Meizi (Chen's daughter-in-law). She was in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound and her pretty face was deformed. How painful must it be!
Oh my god!
At this moment, everyone felt a little sympathetic towards Xia Lina. Why did she pick on Chen Tuan’s wife when there were so many people she could pick on?
Who would have thought that the soft, fair and tender daughter-in-law Chen Tuan could actually throw Xia Lina to the ground.
The sisters-in-law also subconsciously thought that Chen Tuan's wife must have learned these skills from Chen Tuan. How did Chen Tuan teach his wife how to fight?
The sisters-in-law took a deep breath.
Seeing Xia Lina screaming in pain, Shuying felt a little relieved.
Shuying said coldly, "Comrade Xia, you said you saw me abusing a child with your own eyes. When did you see it? If you have evidence, bring it out right away. Don't talk nonsense here!"
Then he said to Political Commissar Liang: "Political Commissar Liang, you said you would bring Comrade Xia to apologize to me. Is this how you apologize? I don't feel any sincerity from Comrade Xia. I don't accept this apology!"
Then he turned to his sister-in-law and said, "If Comrade Xia can accuse me of child abuse this time, she can accuse others tomorrow. I think Comrade Xia's thinking is very problematic and she is not suitable to be a teacher. What if she teaches the children how to frame others and leads the children astray? If I have a baby in the future, I dare not send it to Comrade Xia to teach!"
Originally, the sisters-in-law thought that whether Xia Lina became a teacher in the military district had little to do with them, but what Chen Tuan's wife said really touched their hearts.
There are several sisters-in-law whose children are in Xia Lina's class. Some of them are afraid that their children will be taught astray by Xia Lina, but there are not many educated people in the military area.
Political Commissar Liang was in a dilemma. He was about to talk about the difficulties in the military district when he heard Shuying say, "Political Commissar Liang, if Comrade Xia is expelled, I would like to recommend myself to teach at the military district primary school!"
Before, Shuying felt that she had worked hard enough in her previous life and wanted to spend more time on her family in this life, but what Xia Lina did completely touched her minefield. This time, if she doesn't teach Xia Lina a lesson, she will not be named Yang.
Political Commissar Liang had also heard that Chen Tuan's wife had attended high school. So, when he heard that she was willing to teach in the military region, his eyes lit up and he was very welcoming.
Previously, Political Commissar Liang had taken into consideration the less educated people in the military region, so he hesitated and did not fire Xia Lina. However, Political Commissar Liang was also very unhappy about Xia Lina's false accusation this time.
He gave Xia Lina a chance to correct her mistakes, but she refused to appreciate it and apologize.
Not to mention that Chen Tuan's wife has a higher education than Xia Lina, Political Commissar Liang immediately agreed with a smile on his face: "Okay! Let's do it this way!"
Xia Lina had just recovered from the pain when she heard that Political Commissar Liang agreed to expel her. She was panic-stricken and at a loss.
She refused to apologize just now because she was sure that Political Commissar Liang would not fire her. But now she heard that Political Commissar Liang agreed with Yang Shuying and wanted to fire her. Xia Lina was so angry that her eyes went dark. She wanted to die and shouted in a hurry: "I don't agree! I don't agree!"
Xia Lina disagreed, and Political Commissar Liang ignored her and discussed with Shuying the time to go to school. In the end, Xia Lina was so angry that she fainted.
The sisters-in-law looked at each other in bewilderment, but Sister Gao seemed to be enjoying the misfortune.
You should know that Xia Lina often boasted about her graduation from junior high school. After going to the military primary school, she looked down on others and usually kept her eyes down, fearing that others didn't know that she was teaching in the military primary school.
Being a teacher is such a respectable job nowadays, and the salary is not bad either, it is not easier than being a worker in the city. Deputy Commander Fang was nice to her in the past, and it was also because she was a teacher in a primary school in a military district. I guess Xia Lina wants to die now.
People's hearts really cannot be corrupted. Once they are corrupted, won't they suffer retribution?
