Chapter 125: Chapter 125: One Arrogant, One Anxious!_1

Chu Jiaojiao unexpectedly stopped her.

"Song Yunuan, don’t you go just yet, I have a few words to say to you."

Song Yunuan grabbed a handful of her hair.

Feeling somewhat annoyed.

"I’ve got nothing to say to you."

Then she turned and walked away.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jiaojiao caught up again, huffing and puffing as she said, "I heard you helped Xiaocao to avoid being swapped for a marriage partner in the future, so you’re finding a wife for your brother early?"

Song Yunuan really wanted to roll her eyes.

She had helped Xiaocao because Xiaocao had avenged her second aunt and her two sons.

Feeling sorry for Xiaocao, a few days earlier, the second aunt even sent her clothes and a pair of finished shoes.

Xiaocao is now doing well.

She has food and shelter, and Aunt Wu is also nice to her, and Xiaocao is still learning.

Apparently, without a salary, Liu Daniu doesn’t come looking for her anymore.

Mostly because she hasn’t dared to for now.

Song Yunuan grabbed her: "Who told you this?"

Chu Jiaojiao was quite persistent, "Is what they’re saying true or not?"

Song Yunuan let go of her hand and said leisurely, "If it’s true, so what? And if it’s false, what of it?"

Chu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, not expecting Song Yunuan to respond this way, and for a moment she didn’t know what to say.

Song Yunuan asked, "Have you spoken of this to anyone else?"

Chu Jiaojiao’s eyes flickered.

Song Yunuan scoffed, "You’ve really got nothing better to do. I don’t want to bother with you, yet you insist on causing me trouble. Believe it or not, I’ll make you go raise pigs too."

Why can’t people be more kind?

Then, Song Yunuan dragged Chu Jiaojiao straight into Principal Cui’s office.

She didn’t want to engage in a war of words with Chu Jiaojiao on campus.

The youth here are at an age that’s neither here nor there.

An age that loves to spread rumors on a whim.

All sorts of talk: like corridor lights suddenly turning on, someone’s head in the restroom, cries from the woods, or how the sports field was once a pit of ten thousand people.

Song Yunuan was strong.

Throughout it all, Chu Jiaojiao was a bit dazed.

This wasn’t quite how she had expected things to unfold.

In her mind, after speaking her piece, Song Yunuan would surely have argued back.

She did know Song Mingbo, who, although in class two, had good grades and was within the top ten.

And he was handsome, too. Even though he was from the countryside, he might not settle for Xiaocao.

She had seen the other day that Old Song Family’s grandmother and Song Yunuan’s mom were no easy challengers.

To avoid suspicion, Song Yunuan would stop caring for Xiaocao, who would then be kicked out and forced to beg again.

She didn’t wish for Xiaocao to have a good life.

But by the time she came to her senses, she was already standing in the principal’s office.

Principal Cui was startled at first, but on a closer look, isn’t that Song Yunuan and Chu Jiaojiao?

But the expressions on the two kids were different.

One was arrogant; the other was fearful!

The arrogant one was Song Yunuan, and the fearful one was Chu Jiaojiao, who hadn’t anticipated things would turn out this way.

Song Yunuan went straight to the point, "Principal Cui, let me explain everything from the beginning."

So she started from where Xiaocao was being forced by her own parents and Chu Jiaojiao to go to Erdao River Village for a match-making visit, all the way to how Xiaocao, with the help of President Huang and Factory Director Zheng, found a job and a place to eat and sleep.

This matter should have been over, but today she was blocked by Chu Jiaojiao for no reason. And she even spouted nonsense about her helping Xiaocao to avoid swapping a marriage partner.

How could she twist the truth like this?

Clearly, it was Factory Director Zheng, President Huang, and the team leader of Liuxia Hamlet who had helped Xiaocao.

Wasn’t Chu Jiaojiao just bullying her?

Principal Cui thought to himself, with you being so composed and eloquent, you little girl, who could bully you?

But, Chu Jiaojiao had really gone too far.

So, Principal Cui started by scolding Chu Jiaojiao.

How can you make wild guesses about things without evidence?

Who did she hear that from?

Chu Jiaojiao started crying when Principal Cui was criticizing her.

Then Principal Cui asked her who else she had told about it?

Chu Jiaojiao just cried without speaking.

Principal Cui then called the homeroom teacher of class one over.

It was only then that Chu Jiaojiao told the principal and the homeroom teacher that she had told her deskmate.

And then her deskmate was also called over.

Fortunately, she hadn’t yet had the chance to share the gossip with anyone else.

Finally, they asked Chu Jiaojiao where she had heard it from?

Chu Jiaojiao said without any guilt that it was her mother who had told her.

Song Yunuan asked meaningfully, "Was it your foster mother or your real father who told you?"

Principal Cui and the homeroom teacher exchanged glances.

Foster mother and real father, what was their relationship?

This time, Chu Jiaojiao understood and obviously felt guilty for a moment as she stared wide-eyed at Song Yunuan.

"You’re talking nonsense, they are my foster parents, you’re the one spreading rumors."

Song Yunuan glanced at her.

Heh, so she does know then?

"If you think I’m spreading rumors, then, like today, we can all stand together and confront it, wouldn’t everything be clear then?"

Chu Jiaojiao’s face changed color, she wiped away a tear, and dared not speak again.

Song Yunuan told Principal Cui, "I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave now."

Then she politely said goodbye to the principal and the homeroom teacher.

Yes, she was a good and obedient student.

Chu Jiaojiao and another female classmate were criticized again, and then they were allowed to return to their class.

The female classmate complained to Chu Jiaojiao, "Luckily I didn’t talk to anyone, or I would have been accused of spreading false rumors, too."

Chu Jiaojiao, with red eyes, bit her teeth and kept silent.

Then she saw Song Yunuan and Song Mingbo walking over together and, scared, quickly turned and walked to the right.

The female classmate awkwardly caught up.

Song Yunuan smiled, that was more like it, she should walk around when she saw her.

Song Yunuan gave her older brother ten yuan and told him not to be too frugal because things were still okay at home.

Song Mingbo, aware of the family’s situation being much improved from before, was still accustomed to saving, and to take money from his sister made him blush, only accepting it reluctantly when he heard it was grandma who had given it to him.

Song Yunuan said, "Brother, that Chu Jiaojiao from class one, the female classmate who ran away when she saw me just now, don’t talk to her in the future."

Song Mingbo smiled.

This was his sister alright, making all these demands, like not to interact with this person and not to talk to that person.

Song Mingbo loudly agreed.

Song Yunuan cast a surprised look, seeing he didn’t look starved, he was full of energy.

-----------------

Song Yunuan’s school admission issue was resolved.

The whole family was relieved of a big worry.

The second batch of clothes had all been ironed and individually inspected, Song Yunuan said this was called quality control, and that only defect-free products could be sold.

They tried to leave no room for customer complaints.

This time half of the inventory was used up.

But the finished products filled five large wooden crates.

All placed on the cart.

Old Man Song’s cart was clean, it could be used as a bed to sleep in.

The wooden crates were loaded up, neatly arranged in the cart.

The whole family then went to the county town.

This time, Asheng naturally had to come along to serve as a model.

Midway, they encountered Sister Niu’s passenger coach, it turned out it was her shift today.

Seeing Song Yunuan, Sister Niu’s eyes lit up, she had been looking for Song Yunuan.

She said to the driver, "Brother Lou, stop the bus, let Little Nuan come up, I have something to tell her."
