Chapter 51
Niu Fang: "I have the phone number of the owner of the Internet cafe you often go to."
Wang Jiang lowered his head in panic, not daring to look at the people around him, and whispered back, "I didn't."
The proprietress didn't believe that Wang Jiang would lie, and she didn't believe that her son, a top student, was pretending to be a lie to deceive her.
Based on this extremely self-consistent logic, the proprietress determined that it was Niu Fang who was causing discord and spreading lies to harm people.
"Impossible! My son has always had good grades and has always been among the top students in every junior high school exam. It is normal for him to be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the county. Is there any need to cheat? But you, who don't study hard yourself, curse my son viciously." The proprietress scolded angrily.
Niu Fang: "Have you personally gone to school to ask the teacher?"
The boss's wife also wanted to contact Wang Jiang's teacher, but Wang Jiang said nothing. She only knew which school her son was in, but didn't know which class he was in. She secretly went to the school to find the teacher once, but was caught by her son. She threatened to drop out, and she never dared to go to school again.
What made her happy was that her son's grades had improved since then. Every time he brought back a test paper or a ranking list, he was consistently at the top. These were all real and there was no way they could be faked. She also asked her son's friends, and they confirmed that his grades in school were indeed very good.
Thinking of this, the boss lady was no longer inexplicably flustered, and said confidently: "My son's grades are very good. He always brings home his score sheets and ranking lists for me. He is very filial."
Niu Fang: "..., don't you know that report cards and ranking lists can be faked?"
The lady boss put her hands on her hips and angrily scolded, "You little bastard, you are so eager to accuse my son of cheating. What do you mean? Am I blind or is my heart blind? As a mother, I don't know whether his grades are good or not? You want your little grandson to tell me?"
The boss lady's scolding became more and more unbearable, and she became more and more angry. She wished she could skin the cow and drink its blood!
Niu Fang gritted his teeth and raised his voice, "You were fooled by him! His grades are as bad as stinky dog shit, there is no way he can get into high school!"
The lady boss's eyes were red with anger. "I was not fooled by him! My son's grades are very good! Xiao Jiang, tell him if your grades are among the best? Did you get into the best middle school in our county?"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Are you dumb?!"
Wang Jiang was forced to feel guilty, afraid, and furious.
"Damn it, I'm going to beat you to death today!"
Wang Jiang suddenly pounced on Niu Fang and punched him on the head without any rules, just venting his anger.
The ox put aside his consciousness and wanted to fight back, but then he remembered something and retracted his fist and just dodged.
It’s not that he can’t beat Wang Jiang, but that counterattack will be regarded as a fight.
Grandma is still in the hospital, nothing can happen to him.
The reporter who came with Niu Fang hurriedly stopped the crazy Wang Jiang and asked his colleagues to call the police.
The boss lady screamed, "What are you doing? Let my son go!"
The lady boss protected Wang Jiang behind her and glared at Niu Fang and the reporter, "So many of you are bullying my son. I'm calling the police! None of you who came to cause trouble today will be able to escape."
Wang Jiang's eyes were red. "Mom, please call the police and have them all arrested."
Nan Tao, who was watching the excitement, was confused when she heard this. She had seen people bullying others, but she had never seen a bully who then claimed to be bullied and called the police? He hit others first, so were they sure that the police would come to arrest him?
Nan Tao had a new understanding of Wang Jiang and the proprietress. It was true that the son born by a mouse could dig holes. Like family raises like children. They are a perfect match.
The police station in the Chunfeng Road district is on this street, and the police quickly rushed over after receiving the call.
"What happened? Who called the police?"
Both the proprietress and the reporter said they called the police.
The reporter pointed at Wang Jiang and said, "He beat people up." He then pulled Niu Fang over and said, "Look at the one who got beaten up. His face is all blue. We didn't fight back."
The boss lady screamed: "It was you who gathered at our house to cause trouble!"
The police said sternly: "Words are not enough, we need evidence."
The reporter grinned and said, "Don't worry, we will broadcast the whole process live, and we have video evidence."
The son of the old man who was just pushed down by Wang Jiang happened to come over and learned the whole story. He quickly said, "Comrade police, my father is over 70 years old. He was pushed down by this kid and is now lying on the ground and can't get up."
The lady boss angrily scolded: "What does this have to do with us? He was just watching the fun and accidentally fell down."
The old man's son was elegant and logical, and said, "Didn't the reporter just say that the whole thing would be broadcast live? Don't worry, if it's yes, it's yes, and if it's no, it's no. We won't wrongly accuse anyone. I believe that the police comrades will not wrongly accuse any good person. You don't need to be so excited."
"Oh, isn't this Principal Wang?"
"Principal Wang?"
"Yes, he is the newly appointed principal of the county's No. 1 Middle School. My son took a video and showed it to me. Principal Wang was so good at encouraging students on the stage. The students below were all clapping excitedly."
"Well, since Principal Wang is here, wouldn't it be easier to find out if I just ask Wang Jiang whether he is a student in the school?"
"That's right. Just ask and everything will be clear. What's there to argue about?"
"I'm sure Wang Jiang wouldn't lie about something this serious."
"Niu Fang looks quite honest and doesn't seem like someone who would lie."
"Who among you wants to ask? I'm so curious."
There was an enthusiastic lady in the crowd, she was the boss lady's next-door neighbor, she was jealous of the boss lady's son who had good grades and was admitted to the county's No. 1 Middle School, she wished that Wang Jiang was a poor student who cheated people with fake grades, and when she saw that this elegant middle-aged man was the principal of the county's No. 1 Middle School, she immediately shouted: "It was Wang Jiang who pushed your old man just now, we all saw it, we can all testify. But we are all curious, we want to ask you if Wang Jiang is a student of your school?"
The elder sister pointed at Wang Jiang and said, "He was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in your county this year. His grades are very impressive and he even has an acceptance letter."
Seeing this, Wang Jiang turned around and tried to run.
The police stopped him and asked, "Why are you running?"
Wang Jiang's legs were shaking as he cried out, "Mom! Mom! Come and save me! I don't want to be caught!"
The lady boss pushed the policeman away and said, "What are you doing? You scared my son and I will never forgive you!"
The policeman was speechless, "How old is your child this year? A three-year-old?"
The lady boss protected Wang Jiang behind her, looked at the troublemaker, and angrily scolded: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your face to pieces."
The elder sister laughed and said, "The police are right here, how dare you draw? You think I'm scared and you're just talking nonsense, I don't believe it. You're not afraid of knowing that your son lied to you, so you deliberately change the subject."
The lady boss stiffened her neck and said, "Who is trying to change the subject? My son couldn't have lied to me! He passed the exam! Son, hurry up and tell everyone whether you passed or not!"
Wang Jiang's mouth was tightly shut like a river clam, and he said nothing.
The lady boss yelled, "Just tell me!!"
Eldest sister: "I didn't pass the exam, I don't dare to say."
Lady boss: "Shut up!"
The eldest sister refused, "Principal Wang, he shouldn't be a student in your school, right?"
Principal Wang looked at Wang Jiang, lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Students at the County No. 1 Middle School are prohibited from dyeing their hair. I haven't heard of any class dyeing their hair yet."
The eldest sister laughed: "Did you hear that? Principal Wang said that no students in the school dye their hair."
The proprietress' eyes were red as she grabbed Wang Jiang's arm tightly and said, "Tell me, you were admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the county and that you have good grades!"
Wang Jiang was so scared that he burst into tears.
The proprietress felt very sad. She couldn't accept that her son didn't get into high school and couldn't accept that her child had poor grades. She still wanted her son to get into college and bring honor to the family, so how could he not get into high school?
The lady boss hit Wang Jiang hard, "You damned child, is your mouth sewn shut? Tell me quickly! You passed the exam, right?"
Wang Jiang howled in pain, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, it hurts!"
The lady boss suddenly softened her grip and coaxed him softly, "My dear son, my precious son, hurry up and tell me. I'm so worried."
Wang Jiang was afraid and dared not speak.
The proprietress was so angry that she slapped him.
A purple mark of five fingers soon appeared on Wang Jiang's face.
In the past, Wang Jiang bossed the boss’s wife around because he relied on his “good grades” to do whatever he wanted. Over time, he even deceived himself, thinking that the boss’s wife would always indulge him, forgetting what would happen if his poor grades were discovered.
In fact, Wang Jiang did not intend to use his grades to deceive the boss's wife at first, but the boss's wife kept telling him every day how good other people's grades were and how bad his grades were. If he did not do well in the exams, he would not be allowed to go out to play.
Other children can go to wherever they want, but he is locked up at home all day long, studying and reading, and cannot go anywhere. He is also beaten every day if he does not get good grades on the exams.
Later on one occasion, he suddenly had an idea to change the grades given by the teacher so that he would not be beaten when he got home.
After returning home, he nervously gave his parents the marked test paper. Seeing that they didn't find out, they were particularly happy and rewarded themselves with 100 yuan and allowed themselves to go out and play.
Having tasted the sweetness, Wang Jiang couldn't stop. As his grades improved and his ranking rose higher and higher, his parents indulged him more and more. They would not even get angry when he pointed at his parents and scolded them.
However, the high school entrance examination was a watershed. Wang Jiang was afraid that if he failed to get into high school, everything would be exposed. He was even more afraid of returning to the dark and miserable childhood. So he boldly forged an admission letter and even tasted unprecedented sweetness from it.
Wang Jiang also planned to hide the truth during his three years of high school and then forge a college admission letter. He never expected that everything would be exposed because of Niu Fang's appearance.
He hated Niu Fang so much!
"You're dumb?!" the proprietress scolded angrily.
Wang Jiang said nothing, his eyes were filled with hatred. He hated his parents, Niu Fang, and everyone.
"You won't tell me, right?! I'll go get your acceptance letter."
The proprietress was furious. She turned back into the house, took out her precious admission letter and showed it to Principal Wang.
"Principal Wang, look, my son really got admitted to your county's No. 1 Middle School. Here's the admission letter."
Principal Wang took one look at it and knew it was fake. He sighed and said, "Your son must have bought it online."
"Impossible! Look again, this is the admission letter from your school, how can it be fake!"
Principal Wang shook his head, "It's fake."
“Impossible! Impossible!!”
Principal Wang took two steps back and shouted, "What are you doing?!"
The lady boss said anxiously, "You said it's fake without even looking at it? How can you be a principal? Look again, it can't be fake..."
Principal Wang turned to the police and said, "Comrade police, her son pushed my father. Do you think I should go to the police station with you or handle it here?"
The police looked at the elderly man lying on the ground, then looked at Niu Fang who had been beaten, and said, "All of you come with us to the police station. Principal Wang, you can first send the elderly man home or to the hospital, and then come back."
The boss lady said: "You want to arrest my son? What did my son do wrong? You can't arrest him!"
The police officer was in a dilemma: "Whoever arrested your son, please go to the police station. If you are worried about your son, you can go with me."
Niu Fang looked at the lady boss and said, "You just said that I have better grades than your son and am in the top three in the school. Just give me the money. I hope the police officer can be my witness."
The lady boss was stabbed in the lungs and was furious: "Get lost, you little bastard! Don't even think about getting a dime."
Niu Fang's face turned pale and he clenched his fists. "That's not what you just said."
"Yeah, we all heard it."
"Now it's clear that your son didn't get into high school at all."
"People should keep their words. There is no way to fool people like this."
Everyone was talking at once, and the lady boss couldn't hold back her face. She glared at Niu Fang fiercely, "Can you get into the top three in the whole school? Stop kidding!"
Niu Fang looked at Principal Wang calmly, "Principal Wang, please prove it for me."
