The Ma Mei incident fermented quickly and spread faster than Jiang Yu expected.
She had originally planned that if the spread of the news was not strong enough, she would secretly fan the flames behind the scenes, but she ended up underestimating the public's ability to watch the show.
The news of Ma Mei's affair with others reached the school early in the morning, and the teachers were shocked.
They originally thought that Ma Mei was just arrogant and had a bad temper, but no one expected that she would do such a despicable thing, which shocked them and their friends.
"You can't judge a person by appearance, you can't measure the depth of the sea. I never thought Teacher Ma was such a person!"
"Why are you still calling her Teacher Ma? For someone as shameless as her, calling her teacher is an insult to the word 'teacher'!"
"Exactly. I heard her husband wants to divorce her! I feel so sorry for her two kids. It's such a disgrace to have a mother like that."
"Can't we just get a divorce? No man can stand being caught in bed with a bunch of people!"
"It's so pitiful. He works so hard to support his family, but in the end he gets cheated on."
Although everyone was shocked, no one stood up to plead for Ma Mei.
As soon as the Ma Mei incident came to light, the school responded quickly, revoking Ma Mei's teaching qualifications and dismissing her from her position.
At the same time, just as Jiang Yu expected, Hu Ming's grandfather, Director Hu, immediately chose to draw a clear line with Ma Mei after learning about this matter. He repeatedly stated that their Hu family and Ma Mei were just cousins, and asked the relevant departments to handle the matter impartially and strictly!
Ma Mei's husband Wang Weiguo felt that he was cheated and divorced Ma Mei before the verdict was announced.
After Duan Weiwen's wife returned to Beijing, she also chose to divorce. She also took over Duan Weiwen's job and returned to the city early.
Because Ma Mei was a teacher who educated people, and her open affair had such a bad impact, people were talking about it on the streets.
In order to clear up the atmosphere, she and her adulterer were both dragged to the square to be publicly sentenced for their crimes.
After Jiang Yu found out, he took his brother Jiang Yunfan to watch.
They arrived relatively early, but quite a few people had already gathered around the square. Soon, the square was packed with people, filling up the entire square.
Ma Mei and Duan Weiwen stood in the middle of the stage with their arms tied and their hair disheveled. They both looked very haggard, as if they had aged several years in an instant.
A leader-like figure appeared on the stage, struck a gong for silence, and then began to read out the charges against the two men:
"Ma Mei and Duan Weiwen, one a teacher and the other a skilled worker at the steel mill, have both failed the organization's training and trust in them. They have committed crimes that are unacceptable to the world, and their impact is extremely negative!"
The audience below the stage were in an uproar when they heard this.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Leaders, please punish them severely."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around echoed and condemned them.
The shouting became more and more intense, and some radical people picked up stones and threw them at the two of them.
Soon, Ma Mei and Duan Weiwen were both hit on the head and bleeding.
After seeing this, Jiang Yu didn't want to read any further.
She covered Jiang Yunzhou's eyes and hugged him out of the crowd.
When Ma Mei raised her head, she seemed to see a back that looked very similar to Jiang Yu.
She suddenly remembered what she had said to herself in the alley that day: "You will be ruined and have nothing."
Her tears flowed down and she felt extremely regretful.

The next day, the Jiang family welcomed an uninvited guest - Fang Jingyuan.
Jiang Yu saw Fang Jingyuan and raised her eyebrows. "Are you here to see me?"
Fang Jingyuan raised her chin: "What's that expression on your face? Can't I come to you?"
Jiang Yu shrugged innocently: "Of course."
Fang Jingyuan snorted and pushed her bicycle straight into the yard.
She parked her bike against the wall and turned to look around the yard. "Did you buy or rent this yard?"
"Rented."
Fang Jingyuan's eyes lit up: "Who rented it from? How much?"
Jiang Yu held up four fingers.
Fang Jingyuan's eyes widened instantly, and she screamed in surprise, "What? Forty yuan a month? That poor family over there is so rich?"
Jiang Yu rolled her eyes and said, "It's not forty yuan, it's four words - no comment!"
Fang Jingyuan curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "..." Humph, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Her sister doesn't want to hear it!
Jiang Yu led her to the living room and said, "No one comes to see me for no reason. Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
Fang Jingyuan followed her, looking around. Hearing this, she snorted, "Do you think I wanted to come? My mom asked me to come. She just found out about your family troubles these past two days, and she asked me to come and ask if you need any help."
Fang's mother?
Jiang Yu was a little surprised: "No need, go back and tell your mother thank you for me."
Fang Jingyuan snorted again, twisting her butt on the stool, and looking at Jiang Yu several times.
Jiang Yu looked at her awkward expression and secretly laughed at herself as she poured her a cup of tea. "Do you have anything else to talk to me about?"
Fang Jingyuan hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Didn't you say last time that this hairstyle doesn't suit me? Then, what hairstyle would suit me?"
Jiang Yu had been busy lately and almost forgot about this matter: "Do you want to change your hairstyle?"
Fang Jingyuan's cheeks flushed slightly: "I just came here to see if what you said before was a lie!"
Jiang Yu felt that her awkward look was very similar to Jiang Yunfan's from last night. The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and then she stared at Fang Jingyuan's face and made an objective analysis: "Your face is a little big, and your forehead is a little empty. A face shape like yours is suitable for bangs."
Fang Jingyuan was confused: "Keep bangs?"
Jiang Yu nodded. "That's right. Not those short bangs, but textured bangs. Then trim some small strands of hair on both sides of your cheeks to modify your face shape. This will make your face look smaller. Then cut your hair shorter to avoid looking top-heavy."
Fang Jingyuan couldn't imagine that some people around her also had bangs, but they were very short, just a few tufts of hair, and didn't look good at all.
Jiang Yu looked outside at the sky and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the barber shop to change your hairstyle."
Fang Jingyuan didn't expect Jiang Yu to be so straightforward. She was shocked and asked, "Are we going now?"
Jiang Yu glanced at her and rolled his eyes secretly: "What else? Didn't you come to me just to change your hairstyle? Or do you not trust my judgment? If not, you can leave now!"
Seeing that she was about to send the guest away, Fang Jingyuan gritted her teeth in anger.
After thinking for a moment, she stamped her feet and said, "Let's go!"
So Jiang Yu took his military bag, closed the door and took Fang Jingyuan to a nearby state-owned barber shop.
