The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 217 Notice of Expulsion

Based on He Yushui's understanding of Kong Lin, she would never let it go since Cheng Xiaoman had humiliated her today. She would definitely take revenge on Zheng Rongrong somewhere else. She was thinking about countermeasures on the way home and fell far behind He Yuzhu without realizing it.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiaoman signaled He Yuzhu to stop the car and wait for her sister-in-law to catch up, then she trotted forward, forced an awkward smile, and spoke anxiously:

“Well, Yushui, it was my sister-in-law who acted on her own initiative. She should have discussed it with you in advance.

But time was too tight, and Rongrong had to go to school, so she couldn't leave an impression of being unreasonable and domineering among her classmates, so she had to end it hastily, otherwise she would make enemies and be easily isolated by her classmates."

"Ah? Sister-in-law misunderstood." He Yushui shook her head slightly.

"I'm just worried that with Kong Lin's vindictive nature, she might take revenge on Sister Rongrong in other ways."

Only then did Cheng Xiaoman heave a sigh of relief and speak more freely.

"I'm glad there's no misunderstanding. Don't worry, Kong Lin is much more scheming than you think.

She was deliberately being humiliated. I deliberately slowed down my speech and lowered my volume just now to give her a chance to explain herself and then to kill her with one blow. But she had no intention of refutating at all. She was just waiting for this opportunity.

Because she wanted to establish a good image in front of Brother Tao, one who is submissive, puts the overall situation first, is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, is knowledgeable, open-minded, and considerate, so as to arouse his compassion and stimulate his male chauvinism desire to protect her.

It also let Kong Zhao in the crowd see her endurance of humiliation and inability to promote family harmony, which made Kong Zhao feel guilty, thus achieving two goals at one stroke.

No matter who the other party is, as long as she is provided with a platform to perform, this is Kong Lin’s ultimate goal, so she will not only not blame Rongrong, but will also be grateful.

As for the reason why Kong Lin chose Rongrong, it was because she saw Kong Zhao's desire to curry favor with her. More importantly, she should have noticed Rongrong's affection for Brother Tao a long time ago, which is why she tried every means to get rid of her rival.

You are still young and you will understand the relationship between them later.

Kong Lin has achieved her goal. If she continues to pester Rongrong, it would be superfluous and a waste of money. Kong Lin is not a fool.

It's just a pity that Rongrong, this silly girl, was used by others and became a stepping stone to catalyze love and family affection. Don't get involved just for the sake of sisterly loyalty, it's not worth it."

He Yushui seemed to understand something and nodded repeatedly.

"..."

After listening to the wonderful performances of He Yushui and others, Chen Ping understood that Cheng Xiaoman was unwilling to get involved in the subsequent emotional entanglements. Those were all spiritual adjustments for wealthy families. People like them who were busy working for three meals a day and struggling at the bottom of society were not worthy of talking about those things.

As long as Zheng Rongrong can temporarily put aside her worries and let Lao Zheng see their hard work, the relationship can be maintained.

Two days later, when Director Zhou went to the grain station to deal with the incident of hungry people snatching grain, he informed Chen Ping, Jia Zhang and others of the final outcome.

Jia Dongxu disrupted the market order, detained for ten days and fined 200 yuan;

Jia Zhang illegally used collective industries for personal profit, engaged in capitalist operations, and undermined the planned production economic system. Considering that he voluntarily handed over his illegal gains and surrendered himself, he was given a lighter punishment.

Sentenced to 10 months of reform-through-labor and fined 3000 yuan;

Yi Zhonghai, as the manager of the courtyard house, failed to fulfill his management responsibilities and was removed from his position and fined 200 yuan;

Director Liu, as a grassroots administrative cadre, neglected management and committed dereliction of duty, and was dismissed from his post.

Director Zhou curled his lips and shrugged, sighing helplessly.

“If nothing unexpected happens, Director Liu will be transferred to the steel mill, and he should be doing a job like logistics supervisor.

They asked the district cadres to plead for mercy, and the small canteen had a good reputation before, so their merits and demerits offset each other and they gave them a lighter punishment. It's also your fault for making wedding dresses for others.

All the fines were paid by the deaf woman, and it was Director Yang of the steel mill who interceded for them. Now is a period of vigorous industrial development, so it is normal for district officials to do a favor."

Chen Ping had no regrets about the outcome. She just couldn't stand Jia Zhang's arrogant attitude. As for Director Liu, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf woman, she had no contact with them and no longer paid attention to them.

The peaceful days were disrupted by a notice of expulsion that He Yushui brought back half a month later.

He Yushui returned home in a daze, unable to tell the reason why she was expelled from school. She could only shed tears and stare at the expulsion notice in a daze.

Chen Ping knew that He Yushui was determined to study medicine, and she also understood that she wanted to repay her family's efforts by studying hard and getting admitted to her dream university. She did not complain or blame her, but just hugged her gently and gave her silent comfort and encouragement.

He Yushui lay in Chen Ping's arms, crying and sobbing...

"Sister, I really didn't make any mistakes. Whether it was studying or working, I was always among the best in my grade.

I was afraid of being criticized by others, so I did all the most tiring work.

I controlled my scores deliberately because I was afraid of others getting jealous.

Fearing what others might say, I bought the cheapest food and was so hungry that I saw stars;

For fear of being isolated from the group, I dressed up as a country girl.

Isn't this enough just to get closer to everyone?

On what basis do they report that I have a capitalist hedonistic streak? On what basis do they say that I am backward in thought and morally corrupt?

Sister, am I wrong?

Sister, I just want to rely on my own efforts, successfully enter university, become a doctor, make you proud of me, and repay the motherly love you have given me. I want to prove it to everyone!

I am not a stumbling block in He Daqing's pursuit of a happy life!

I am not the money-loser that the deaf woman says is demanding!

I am not a useless burden in Yi Zhonghai's eyes!

Sister, I’m so tired!”

Chen Ping knew that He Yushui had been living in her own lonely world all these years, living under the verbal ridicule in the courtyard, but apart from doing her best to provide her with a generous living security, Chen Ping was powerless to do anything else.

As for the mental health counseling that Lu Zixuan once mentioned, she felt that she was not normal, let alone counseling others, and she was afraid that the more she taught, the worse it would be.

After letting He Yushui vent her anger, Chen Ping coaxed her to sleep and went to Cheng Xiaoman to discuss countermeasures, allowing He Yuzhu to play with her son.

Because generally speaking, He Yuzhu is not qualified to participate in this kind of mental work, and everyone is afraid of his topic-ending skills.

Chen Ping narrated the whole story with gnashing teeth. Her delicate and gentle face was ferocious with anger. It took her a long time to calm down and seek Cheng Xiaoman's opinion.

"According to Yu Shui's way of doing things, it is impossible for him to offend anyone, and the content reported by those students is also completely false.

She is clearly being targeted. Just because she fails to pass the political ideology test, her dream of going to college will be shattered. She may even be deprived of the qualifications to work. This will ruin her future. I can’t think of who has such a deep hatred for her…”
