People were coming and going at the entrance of No. 1 Middle School. The shouts of Granny Fang and the others were heard by everyone.
The passers - by all stopped and gathered around.
They heard the name Hua Qingqing!
Hua Qingqing repaid kindness with ingratitude. She was such an ungrateful person!
Oh my god, this was Hua Qingqing, the genius who had skipped two semesters to reach senior year! No one had expected that she would do such things.
Whispers and discussions rose everywhere.
"Who would have thought Hua Qingqing was such a person."
"She has such good grades. They say she reached senior year after just two years of study. It must be a lie."
"Even if her grades are good, what's the use if her character is bad? I think the school should expel such a person!"
Chen Mengshu, who was standing nearby, was almost furious. She turned around and shouted at a few students who were gossiping, "Shut up!"
"I don't know what Hua Qingqing is really like, but you guys are so disgusting, spitting out nothing but nonsense from your dog - like mouths!"
"... Classmate, your words are too harsh."
The students who were talking never expected that there would be someone standing up for Hua Qingqing.
Chen Mengshu spat, "At least it's better than what you guys say."
"..."
Where did this crazy girl come from!
Granny Fang felt secretly delighted. Her eldest grandson was really smart to come up with such a plan.
As long as this matter was made public, once No. 1 Middle School learned about Hua Qingqing's misdeeds, they wouldn't keep her! A person like her was a bad apple in the school and would have a bad influence on other students!
Originally, Granny Fang had some concerns. But after her grandson's persuasion, she forgot about what she had done in the past. All she remembered was that her family had adopted Hua Qingqing when she was the weakest and most helpless.
Anyway, this kindness of raising was real. If Hua Qingqing refused to acknowledge it, she would be scolded to death.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Granny Fang directly pushed aside the teachers who were whispering words of persuasion and shouted, "Call Hua Qingqing out. If she doesn't come out today, we won't leave!"
Feng Xiang quickly followed.
"Yes, if she doesn't come out, we won't leave. Our family worked so hard to raise her and send her to No. 1 Middle School. Is this how she distorts the truth outside?"
"Auntie, could you tell me how I distort the truth? Is it you, Grandma, Grandpa, you and your useless son who are the ones sucking my blood and eating my flesh, distorting the truth?
"Have you ever calculated how comfortable your life has been since you got married? Whose money did you rely on? Have you ever calculated how much of the money my parents sent every month for the past thirteen years you've used? Your son is so stupid, but you can still afford to send him to No. 1 Middle School every month. Isn't it all thanks to my living expenses? If not, why don't you just recognize me as your mother? You two useless people can't even raise your useless son."
Feng Xiang was almost fainted with anger.
Hua Qingqing pushed through the crowd, walking leisurely. Her face was calm, with a hint of mockery in her eyes. There was not the slightest trace of fear, panic, or guilt.
On the contrary, when the Yu family members, who had come here aggressively seeking justice, saw Hua Qingqing standing in front of them, they all took a step back involuntarily, looking more guilty.
Granny Fang said coldly, "Humph, raising a child costs a lot of money. The money your parents sent was just enough to raise you. Our Yu family has never spent your living expenses!"
It seemed that they had come prepared. Hua Qingqing wasn't worried. She glanced at Yu Linsen, who was standing not far away looking like a pig's head, and immediately understood.
She wondered why the Yu family members had suddenly come here acting crazy.
Looking at Yu Linsen's secretly proud look, it seemed that this whole thing was his idea.
Fine, since they wanted to seek death, she would accompany them.
Hua Qingqing said nothing, which made Granny Fang even more complacent.
"Hua Qingqing, you're speechless now, aren't you? Let me tell you, we've endured you for a long time. You can be lawless at home, but you even dare to damage the reputation of our Yu family. A person like you doesn't deserve to study in school!"
"I don't deserve it, but your eldest grandson does? He's taken the college entrance exam four times and still hasn't gotten into college. A useless person like him who only has a head but no brains should just go back home and continue being a parasite."
Hua Qingqing retorted coldly. Then she nodded slightly at the teachers beside her.
"Teachers, I'm sorry this matter has disturbed the school. Since my parents aren't around, I'd like to ask you to go to the police station with me. Grandma and the others came to the school today and scolded me for no reason. I don't know what's going on. Since they've treated me like this, I've decided to tell the secret in my heart. But this matter has to be told with the police as witnesses. Otherwise, I'm afraid Grandma and the others will frame me."
Hua Qingqing's eyes were red with pain.
The teachers on the side didn't believe what Granny Fang and the others said. Seeing her like this, they naturally knew she was innocent.
Xu Guo, Hua Qingqing's homeroom teacher in senior one, immediately stepped forward and without hesitation grabbed her former student.
"I'll go with you!"
The tears that had been swirling in Hua Qingqing's eyes suddenly fell. She cried as she said,
"Teacher Xu, thank you. No one has ever believed me so firmly."
Xu Guo felt heart - ache. What a good student Hua Qingqing was! She was self - disciplined, hard - working, with stable grades, and always selflessly helped others. How could such a student be an ungrateful person!
Hua Qingqing wiped away her tears and looked seriously at Granny Fang and the others, who were still in a daze.
"Grandma, during the interview that day, I said things in a nice way. I remembered your thin kindness of raising me. Although you made me do housework when I was only five years old; although you never let me go to school; although you never let me have enough to eat; although you never let me wear new clothes or new shoes. Even when I was sick, you just let me get through it alone; even when I was almost dying, you were still feeling heart - ache for two yuan of medical expenses. I still remembered your kindness of raising me!
The tears that Hua Qingqing had just wiped away flowed out again. She looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.
"Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, and Auntie, although you always scolded me, kicked me, and beat me at home, you were still the family I lived with day and night. The reason I said those things in the newspaper was that I hoped my mother in Hong Kong would notice me and know that I was living a hard life. I hoped she would come back to see me. I didn't name names because I thought we were a family... But now you come to the school to force and blame me!
"Then let me ask! Which of the things I just said is false? Grandma, my parents have sent so much money for me in the past thirteen years. You used this money to find a job for Uncle, to buy bicycles for Uncle and Auntie, to build a new house for them, and to let Cousin study for so many years. But what about me? What did you do to me? You might as well have driven me out of the house to fight with dogs for food!"
As Hua Qingqing spoke, she couldn't help shouting.
It was completely quiet around. The faint noises that had been there before could no longer be heard.
Everyone stared blankly at the almost - broken girl in the middle. Her stubborn eyes pierced everyone's hearts!
