Chapter 50

When everyone saw Wang Jiang, they began to talk in low voices.

"Oh, Wang Jiang is back. He is the boss lady's academically gifted son. His grades are excellent."

"Why does he look like a gangster?"

Neighbors explained to the reporters passing by, "What kind of gangster? He's just a little ugly, but he has good grades. Good looks can't make a living. It's fashionable for young people to dye their hair yellow now."

"Times have changed now? I remember that you were not allowed to dye your hair in high school back then."

"Who said that? It seems that it is not allowed now."

"Maybe he has good grades, so the teacher makes an exception for him?"

"Why have I never seen this student? Our county's No. 1 Middle School does not allow students to dye their hair. Are you sure he is a student of No. 1 Middle School?"

"How could it not be? After he was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, his family even held a banquet for him. We all knew about it."

Wang Jiang felt guilty when he heard people talking about him. He pointed his finger at Niu Fang angrily, "What are you looking at? This is my home. You are not welcome here! Get out of here! You look so poor and mean. You might be trying to take advantage of us. I am the only son of my parents. Who do you think you are to come here and claim to be a relative?"

Everyone's attention was diverted to Niu Fang. This young man had a clean face and clear eyes. His patched clothes could not hide his bookish air. Then they looked at Wang Jiang. He was wearing branded clothes from head to toe. The total cost was estimated to be less than two thousand. He was fat and ugly with blond hair. He did not look like a model student at all.

With such a comparison, people can't help but lean towards Niu Fang.

Niu Fang said calmly, "Your parents are still yours. I am not competing with you for them, nor do I need to. As long as you give me the support now, I will leave immediately and will not bother you."

Wang Jiang frowned, "You want money? Impossible! All the money in my house is mine, why should I give it to you? Who do you think you are? You ask for money all the time. Are you crazy or mentally ill?"

Niu Fang didn't care about Wang Jiang's malicious words and once again made his purpose clear, "I know you don't like me, but it doesn't matter to me. As long as you give me money, I will leave."

Wang Jiang's small eyes, which were bigger than sesame and mung beans, burst out with contempt and ridicule. He took out three or four hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and threw them on the ground in disgust. Then he raised his chin, looked at people sideways, and said condescendingly: "Don't you like money? These are enough. I'll give you a reward and treat it like a beggar. Pick up the money and leave quickly. Don't make trouble in my house, or I'll beat you up."

Niu Fang had no expression on his face. He bent down silently to pick up the money on the ground, patted the dust off the bills, then folded them and put them in his pocket like a treasure.

Nan Tao watched this scene and was furious. Damn, this is so insulting. Then she saw Niu picking up money like a treasure and felt sad.

The other people present felt the same way as Nan Tao and felt bad.

Nan Tao's eyes rolled, flashing with a cunning light, and she whispered to the older brothers and sisters who were watching the excitement on both sides.

Soon, everyone started talking about it and it gradually spread.

"That's a bit too much. Why do you have to do this?"

"Niu Fang, this kid is so pitiful."

"If you don't want to pay, then don't pay. Not only that, you insult people and do all kinds of immoral things."

"Is this what they call a good student, a top student? Is there something wrong with this?"

"It doesn't matter if you have good grades. If you have bad character, you are still a social outcast."

"We are all brothers from the same mother. This is too cruel."

Nan Tao covered her lips and giggled like a little fox. She retired into the crowd after achieving her goal, listening to everyone pointing fingers at Wang Jiang. Especially when she saw Wang Jiang and the proprietress's faces flushed with anger, she felt as happy as if she had just eaten a delicious meal.

Wang Jiang was so angry that he couldn't control himself at all. He pushed the people around him and shouted, "It's none of your business! Stop pointing fingers at me. What does it have to do with you whether I'm a good student or a top student? I don't eat your rice, so why worry about it? Get out, get out, don't stay at our house!"

The proprietress was so frightened that she tried to stop him, but it was too late.

There was an elderly man holding two large plastic bags full of waste. He did not react as quickly as the others and took a few steps back before being pushed to the ground by Wang Jiang.

"Ouch~" The old man fell to the ground.

The boss lady was so scared that she rushed forward, wanting to help but not daring to, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Wang Jiang was a little scared, but more angry. "You old fool, why are you pretending? Are you trying to fool my family? I didn't use any strength just now. You fell down because you couldn't stand steadily. It has nothing to do with me. Don't blame me!"

The crowd was furious and said, "What are you talking about? We saw with our own eyes that you pushed him down!"

Wang Jiang took two steps back in fear, swallowed his saliva, stiffened his neck and said angrily: "He was slow to react, is it my fault?"

Everyone looked at Wang Jiang with disgust.

A kind-hearted person approached the old man and asked for his family's phone number. After helping him make a phone call to explain the situation, he asked the old man, "Are you seriously ill? Do you want to call an ambulance?"

The old man waved his hands, "No, it's no big deal, it just hurts a little and I can't move."

The kindhearted people and several other young men helped lift the old man up and moved him to lie down in the shade nearby.

After this little episode, the proprietress and Wang Jiang did not dare to drive people away at will, for fear that what happened just now would happen again. After all, there were quite a lot of old men and women in the crowd watching the excitement. They were all elderly people with fragile bones. If something happened, they would not be able to afford the compensation.

Although Wang Jiang was at fault in this incident, the boss's wife still pushed the blame onto Niu Fang. If Niu Fang had not brought reporters with him, no one would have gathered around to watch the excitement. Without people watching, no one would have said bad things about her son, and her son would not have gotten angry and pushed people. All of this was caused by Niu Fang's disaster.

The proprietress became even more angry when she thought about her precious son Wang Jiang being pointed at by everyone and being accused of pushing an old man. She has always been very protective of her son and this time was no exception.

The proprietress looked at Niu Fang with disgust, "Are you satisfied with the situation now?"

Niu Fang tried hard to pull the corners of his lips upwards, but failed. His clear eyes showed no emotion. "He pushed the person himself!"

The proprietress pointed at Niu Fang angrily, "So what? Are you trying to say that it has nothing to do with you? If it weren't for you, my son would lose his temper? If it weren't for you, he would push people? Why are you pretending? I tell you, if you want money, there is no way! My money will be used for my son to go to college in the future, and I won't give you a penny. I'm going to say this today, no matter what anyone says, it's useless! Unless your academic performance is better than my son's and you can get into the top three in the whole school, don't even think about it."

Niu Fang's eyes lit up, "Do you mean what you say?"

The lady boss sneered, "My words are my bond! My son has excellent grades, and you...ha, you are far behind."

Nan Tao looked at the proprietress with sympathy. She dug a hole and buried herself in it, and then actively escaped into it. How awesome!

But it feels so good. If the boss lady knew that Wang Jiang is a poor student and Niu Fang is a top student, what would her expression be?

Hmm~ guess, my face must be green, no, I must have clicked the first three times and didn’t believe it…hahaha…

Nan Tao was watching with great interest when suddenly someone tugged at her clothes. "Who is that? Stop it. We are watching the show in such a lively manner."

"peach."

Nan Tao was watching the excitement without blinking and didn't hear anyone calling her name at all.

"peach!"

Nan Tao was still watching intently.

Zhou Mei pinched her brows speechlessly, lowered her head and looked at Yu Ze, "Your mom is addicted to watching the excitement."

Yu Ze nodded in agreement.

Nan Tao did not hear the conversation between the two. At this time, she was excitedly waiting for Niu Fang's counterattack.

Niu Fang: "My grades are better than Wang Jiang's."

The lady boss sneered, "Stop bragging. You're not afraid of blowing your own horn out of proportion."

Niu Fang said seriously, "If you don't believe me, ask Wang Jiang."

The proprietress turned around to look at Wang Jiang and said confidently, "Son, tell Niu Fang how good your grades are. What's your ranking in the whole grade in this midterm exam?"

Wang Jiang's eyes dodged and he said impatiently, "How many times have I told you not to go around telling people about my grades? What's there to compare?! It's so annoying. I'll go into the house if nothing else, you can handle it yourself."

The lady boss held Wang Jiang and coaxed him, "Don't go, son. Come on, tell me. You heard what Niu Fang said just now. Our results are definitely better than his."

Wang Jiang said angrily, "I don't care about him, don't involve me in your affairs with him! I'm going in."

Niu Fang hurriedly stopped the man and asked, "Are you scared?"

Wang Jiang laughed and said, "I'm still afraid? I would be afraid?"

Niu Fang did not reply, but said to the people around him, "Please everyone bear witness. If my grades are better than Wang Jiang's and I am in the top three in the school, she will give me the support I have received over the years."

Nan Tao was the first to lead the applause, "Great! We are all witnesses for you."

Applause has a demonstration effect. For a moment, everyone applauded enthusiastically and responded one after another: "Don't worry, we are all listening. We can't shirk our responsibilities."

Wang Jiang was panicked by the public's support for Niu Fang. He seemed to have a premonition that something bad was going to happen. He pushed Niu Fang away with all his strength and said, "Let me go! I don't want to talk to you about this nonsense. Get lost!"

Niu Fang had been doing physical labor since he was young, and his physical fitness was much better than that of Wang Jiang, a weakling who grew up in a honeypot. He easily imprisoned Wang Jiang and shouted, "Do you dare to say whether your grades are good or bad?!"

Wang Jiang was so angry that he suddenly punched Niu Fang in the face.

Niu Fang was not careful for a moment, and although he dodged quickly, the fist still landed on his jaw, causing him to gasp in pain.

Everyone was shocked and became increasingly dissatisfied with Wang Jiang.

Niu Fang's eyes were stained with dark ink. He gritted his teeth, endured it and did not fight back. He spoke calmly, "You didn't get into high school, so you forged the admission letter!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole audience burst into laughter.

Nan Tao's heart was filled with excitement, and her eyes were about to overflow. She excitedly said to the people around her, "Oh my God, ahhh! Did you see it? Did you see it?!"

Zhou Mei looked down at her red arm and said speechlessly, "Let go."

Nan Tao was still screaming, especially when she saw Wang Jiang's pale face, she felt so good! He deserved it for scolding her yesterday! Humph!

I seemed to hear Meimei’s voice just now. Never mind, let’s finish eating the melon first.

Wang Jiang's face turned pale, and he tried hard to refute, "What are you talking about?! I don't understand!"

Niu Song let go of Wang Jiang, slowly straightened his wrinkled sleeves, and told the reporter the information he and he had found out in advance. "You lied about your good grades so that you could reasonably ask for money. You lied about being admitted to high school so that you could get more money. I guess you're going home now because you've almost spent all your living expenses and tuition fees?"

With every word Niu Fang spoke, Wang Jiang's face turned paler. When Niu Fang finished speaking, Wang Jiang was shaking like a sieve and his face was as white as wall putty.

Wang Jiang's lips trembled as he retorted without any confidence, "You, you are lying! I didn't!"
