Sweet Girl’s eyes reddened, but she skillfully posed a question in return.
"Aunt Chen, you say you aren’t after our house and that you didn’t slander me. But my grades are clearly very good, so why would you say I’m a bad student?"
Chen Shulan’s eyes widened. "Nonsense! Tie Dan is in the same class as you. He comes home and tells me everything. He said your grades are terrible and the teacher is always scolding you. And you still have the nerve to lie to us."
Sweet Girl used to be very afraid of Chen Shulan, but now, she just found the woman not scary at all—just stupid.
’With that one sentence, she just sold out her own son. She would have been better off saying she’d heard it from someone else.’
But of course, she wasn’t kind enough to point that out. Instead, she explained innocently, "Aunt Chen, you’ve misunderstood. The one with bad grades is Tie Dan. He’s always last on tests, constantly whispers in class, and causes trouble all day, so he’s the one who gets disciplined by the teacher."
Hearing this, the people around them all thought, ’Well, I’ll be damned.’
’So he blamed Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang for everything he did himself.’
Chen Shulan was so angry she wanted to hit someone. "You’re talking nonsense! You’re clearly the one who did bad things, and now you dare slander my Tie Dan! I’ll beat you to death today!"
Seeing that Chen Shulan was really about to attack, Sweet Girl quickly grabbed Xiao Yang and dodged behind the villager who had first asked her a question, shouting, "I have proof!"
Since Sweet Girl was hiding, Chen Shulan couldn’t very well go after her.
And when the villagers heard Sweet Girl had proof, they all grew curious.
"Sweet Girl, what proof do you have?"
"Yeah! Chen Shulan is always bragging about how good her kid’s grades are. She’s fooled a lot of people!"
Chen Shulan was furious. ’These idiots! How can they believe a stinking beggar over me?’
She wanted nothing more than to tear Sweet Girl limb from limb, but the child was too clever, hiding in the crowd and refusing to come out.
Chen Shulan wanted to lash out, but there was nothing she could do.
Seeing Chen Shulan getting agitated, Sweet Girl didn’t dawdle. She immediately pulled her test paper out of her schoolbag, along with Xiao Yang’s, and handed them to the villager in front of her.
"Sir, look. These are our test papers from today."
