Yan Hongxiu saw that all the classmates were looking at her. She felt embarrassed and annoyed. She pointed at Su Xieqiu and said unceremoniously:
"Su Xieqiu, aren't you just a squad leader? What's so great about you? Stop preaching to me. It's none of your business what I do. Who do you think you are?"
"Do you think I want to control you? If you weren't in the English department, I wouldn't bother with you."
Su Xieqiu sighed helplessly, "But there is nothing I can do about it. I am the class monitor, so of course I have to protect the reputation of the class. I can't let a bad apple spoil the whole pot of soup."
The League Secretary heard the conversation between the two and walked over with a frown.
"Yan Hongxiu, it was wrong for you to bully the junior. What the monitor said was for the good of all of us. Not only do you not admit your mistake, why do you still have this attitude? You are too selfish."
"I didn't bully Jiang Moyun. She hit me first. Why are you only blaming me?"
Yan Hongxiu had already been wronged today, and now seeing everyone blaming her, she angrily said, "None of you are good people. You teamed up to bully me."
After she finished speaking, she stormed out of the classroom, slamming the door loudly.
The League Secretary was a serious man, and seeing Yan Hongxiu's behavior, his brows almost wrinkled into a "川" shape.
"Yan Hongxiu's ideology is too bad. We can't let it go on like this. We need to find time to do some ideological work for her. We can't let her go down this path, which will lower the quality of our English department."
Su Xieqiu nodded in agreement, but she was not prepared to take the job.
Yan Hongxiu was somewhat repulsed by her. It was useless for her to say anything, and she didn't want to try to please someone else.
So she said to the League Secretary: "Xie Xianlin, you are better at speaking and more conscious than me. This difficult task is now handed over to you."
"Okay, I'll talk to her after school." Xie Xianlin did not refuse and agreed readily.
Su Xieqiu didn't know how Xie Xianlin talked to Yan Hongxiu, nor did he know how much effort he put in.
Anyway, since then, Yan Hongxiu has never caused any trouble either in the dormitory or in class.
This little episode is over.
………
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the first winter vacation of their college life.
There is an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation on campus.
The students gathered in groups of three or five, discussing enthusiastically about buying tickets to go home.
Because they would be able to go home and reunite with their families soon, everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.
After lunch, Su Xiaqiu and Zhou Aihua did not return to the dormitory. Instead, they sat in a corner of the library and talked.
"Aren't you going back home for the New Year?" Su Xieqiu asked.
Zhou Aihua shook her head. "My parents don't know I'm divorced yet. I don't want to upset them during the New Year."
"It's no use hiding it like this. You might as well tell your parents as soon as possible."
Su Xieqiu didn't know why Zhou Aihua divorced, and she never asked. But she got divorced after returning home for the summer vacation, so she guessed it was probably the man's fault.
Zhou Aihua smiled bitterly, "I found the man myself, and now we're getting divorced. I'm too embarrassed to tell my parents."
Su Xieqiu didn't know how to comfort her. Matters of the heart cannot be understood by just a few words from others.
And she could see that Zhou Aihua had not yet gotten over that relationship.
Su Xieqiu glanced at her and said, "If you want to talk to someone, I can be a silent listener. If you don't want to talk, don't force yourself. But you must be open-minded."
"I always believe that love is just a spice of life. If you can find the person who is soul-matched with you, cherish him/her. If you can't find him/her, or if you get separated halfway, there is no need to regret it. There are many meaningful things in life, and there is no need to let a relationship become a burden on your progress."
Zhou Aihua was silent for a long time, then raised his head and smiled, "Su Xieqiu, you are such a clear-sighted person. Every time I chat with you, I feel enlightened."
She looked out the window and said calmly, "If you don't mind, then listen to my story."
"As far as I can remember, my parents have been working away from home, sometimes only coming back once every few years. My brother and I grew up with our grandparents. After graduating from high school, I was assigned to work in the political department."
"I met Dandan's father by chance. After we got to know each other, he said he liked me, and I had a good impression of him. He was a temporary worker in the factory at the time. Although he was from the countryside, he was very motivated. I admired him very much, so I agreed to date him."
"But my brother disagreed, and neither did my grandparents. Even my parents came back, and my family members didn't agree with me being with him. But I was very stubborn at the time, and I didn't care about anyone's opposition. I insisted on being with him, and that's how we got married."
"Half a year later, he became a full-time worker in the factory. A year later, he was promoted to team leader. When Dandan was born, he was already the workshop director. When I was admitted to university, he became the deputy factory director."
Zhou Aihua paused here, and Su Xieqiu saw drops of water flowing down from the corners of her eyes.
"I thought we were very happy. During the summer vacation, I went back three days early to give him and Dandan a surprise. But when I opened the door, I saw him and a woman fooling around in our bed..."
Su Xieqiu guessed that this was the case. She sighed in her heart and patted Zhou Aihua's shoulder soothingly.
"So you're getting a divorce just like that? Are you going to let him go so easily?"
Zhou Aihua shook his head. "At that time, he knelt down and begged me to forgive him once. He said that the woman seduced him and he couldn't control himself at the moment, so he made such a mistake."
Zhou Aihua thought of the man's appearance at that time, with a bit of disdain on her face.
"If he didn't put the blame on others and admitted that he cheated, I wouldn't feel so disgusted. But he put all the blame on that woman, which only made me feel that I was blind. How could I have fallen for a man like that in the first place?"
"I asked for a divorce at the time, but he said he would never agree to anything. But I couldn't live with him anymore because just thinking about that scene made me feel sick and want to vomit. So I threatened him with his future and forced him to agree."
"This is too good for him." Su Xieqiu felt that Zhou Aihua had such a hard life. The man was still living a carefree life after the divorce, which made her feel indignant.
I feel that I can't let this stinky man get away with it so easily. I have to make him pay a price no matter what.
Su Xieqiu asked Zhou Aihua, "Didn't you ask him for some compensation? And he has to pay for Dandan's child support, too. You can't let him get away with it."
Zhou Aihua nodded slightly, "Yes, the child is mine. We have saved some money over the years, and it's all with me."
Su Xieqiu felt better and comforted her, "Don't dwell on the past. Look forward. Live a good life with Dandan in the future. That scumbag doesn't deserve to make you sad."
"I know, if you give me a little more time, I will definitely let it go."
Zhou Aihua smiled with tears in her eyes and looked at her gratefully, "Su Xieqiu, thank you for listening to my boring words."
