Otherwise, I always feel that I can’t hold my head up in front of my elders, which is quite embarrassing.

But her reputation as a shrew was also ruined.

After Kang Xiaohua was beaten by the Zhu family, the matter became widely known in the compound.

The news that Kang Xiaohua stood up for Chi Fangping and liked her was also spread.

Lying at home, Kang Xiaohua with a swollen face, looked at his father who was pointing at his nose and scolding him, with an attitude of being used to it.

Kang Shichang said angrily, "You are grown up now, I can't control you, so you can do whatever you want. How has the Zhu family wronged you? It's ok for you to fight with the Zhu brothers, but you even bully their daughter-in-law, and in front of your Uncle Zhu and Aunt Kong. Do you still have your elders in your eyes?"

"Elder? Do you still care about this? If you really regard yourself as an elder, you shouldn't have unnecessary thoughts about it." Kang Xiaohua retorted.

Kang Shichang was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Stop pretending. What do you think of Aunt Kong? Do you think you can fool everyone?"

Kang Shichang's face darkened. "Kang Xiaohua, I don't care what you think. You misunderstood that I had feelings for your Aunt Kong. I didn't know and didn't say anything before, but today I tell you to take back that thought. I said why you have been disobedient and always targeting the Zhu family. It's because you have a wrong mind and think wrongly of others. Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? In your eyes, am I that kind of person?"

"No? Do you swear?"

"Do I need to swear? I have never had such thoughts." Kang Shichang's eyes were red with anger. "Your Aunt Kong is well-mannered, but your mother is your only wife. I admire your Aunt Kong, but that's just admiration. I don't have any other dirty thoughts."

Seeing his son like this, Kang Shichang felt helpless. "You don't know what's good or bad. Think about how your Grandpa Zhu and Grandma Zhu treated you? How did your Aunt Kong and Uncle Zhu treat you?"

Kang Shichang left angrily after saying this.

Kang Xiaohua looked at his father who left angrily. He didn't think he had said anything wrong. He just felt that the other party was seen through and became angry and embarrassed.

"Xiaohua." Li Cuilan came in from outside. She looked at her son and opened her mouth. "Xiaohua, you misunderstood your father. Your father didn't have that kind of feelings for your Aunt Kong. He is an upright man. Even though he doesn't love me, he has always been responsible for me all these years."

"Mom." Kang Xiaohua was stunned. He didn't expect to be overheard by his mother.

Li Cuihua smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are so angry just to protect me. They say that raising a son is a way to prepare for old age. Mom feels it now."

Mother and son rarely communicated on weekdays. Li Cuihua sat down beside the bed and said, "Xiaohua, don't be stubborn with your father. He did nothing wrong, the Zhu family did nothing wrong, and your Aunt Kong did nothing wrong. You can't be wrong just because others are better than you, right? You are a man, and you go to someone's house to bully a woman. It's embarrassing to tell others about it. The Zhu family's daughter-in-law didn't provoke you, and the Zhu family didn't provoke you either, but you went to their house. Don't go too far. People respect you, and you can't get too close."

Kang Xiaohua pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Xiaohua, don't make the same mistake again. You are really wrong." Li Cuihua saw the sadness in her son's eyes and couldn't bear to say, "You should take good care of your injuries. Mom will make porridge for you. You are an adult now, so don't fight anymore."

Afraid that her son would dislike her nagging, Li Cuihua went out.

Kang Xiaohua was in a daze for a long time, and kept asking himself in his heart, was it really his fault? Ji Ling had not been to school for a long time, and everyone who knew about it knew that her child was missing. At first, everyone talked about it secretly, but after a long time, no one mentioned it again.

Miao Man and the other two had been worried about Ji Ling. After knowing that Niu Niu was found, they also breathed a sigh of relief. They had originally planned to make an appointment to go see Ji Ling together on the weekend, but then they heard people in the school privately discussing that Ji Ling fought like a shrew.

"I heard that he was mentally ill and has not been well since the child was lost."

"This disease is difficult to treat. What if I get sick again after returning to school?"

When the two boys saw Miao Man, their faces turned red.

She was talking about people behind their backs again, and she didn't argue with her.

Miao Man snorted coldly, her eyes fell on Jiang Zheng, and she said meaningfully, "It's really strange. Ji Ling didn't come back, and no one in the school knew Ji Ling. I don't know who found out about it and spread it behind her back. There is no wall that is impenetrable. You should do some good deeds and avoid retribution."

Jiang Zheng stopped flipping through the book and asked, "Miao Man, are you talking about me?"

"Whoever I say knows it well." Miao Man spoke up for Ji Ling. "Ji Ling's child was stolen. Anyone with a kind heart would sympathize with her instead of making trouble behind her back. I have seen such black-hearted people before."

Li Jia and Tang Meng pulled her and signaled her not to say anything more.

Jiang Zheng said calmly, "I don't know why you misunderstood me, but it wasn't me who did it. There was no need for me to do this."

"Who else could it be if not you? Ji Ling lives in the compound, and your friend also lives in the compound. Who else knows what's going on in the compound except you? Who else could it be if not you?" Miao Man said, "It would be fine at other times, but now that Ji Ling has gotten into such a big trouble, and you're still doing this behind her back, I really despise you."

Jiang Zheng didn't rush to refute it. She seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Gao Jing beside her, "Did you tell them?"

Gao Jing's face turned pale. "Jiang Zheng, I know nothing and I didn't say anything."

Jiang Zheng said nothing and just looked at her quietly.

Gao Jing pursed her lips and looked at her aggrievedly.

Miao Man understood after seeing this, "No wonder, some people are evil, they can never be better than Ji Ling, so they do these disgusting little things behind her back. They are not afraid that the consequences will be felt by the baby in her belly."

Gao Jing suddenly married Senior Gu, and then she was pregnant. It was Gao Jing herself who revealed it half a month ago. She treated her classmates to wedding candy, and then the news spread among the students.

Miao Man couldn't understand why a man like Senior Gu would fall for someone as hypocritical as Gao Jing.

Gao Jing's lips trembled slightly. "Miao Man, I know you don't like me. I understand that you want to stand up for Ji Ling, but please don't be so unreasonable, okay? You cursed the baby in my belly before you figured out the matter. It's still a child. How can you be so vicious?"

"That's right, why is it like this?"

"Miao Man, don't go too far. Besides, it's true that Ji Ling had a fight with someone else. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been spread. If she's afraid of being talked about, she shouldn't have fought."

"Yes, if you are afraid of being called mentally ill, then don't get sick."

"You have your own problems, why are you so anxious?"

The male classmates around couldn't stand it and started talking to Miao Man, but Miao Man didn't take it seriously.

"Okay, stop standing on the moral high ground to criticize others for being right or wrong. It's shameful for grown men to talk behind their backs." Miao Man spat after she finished speaking.

The angry boy's face changed.
