Chapter 732: Chapter 701: Keep Safe, Call the Police_1

Huang Jingli took deep breaths while scanning her classmates, finally understanding why He Tiantian, Cui Ying, and the rest of the class were acting differently from usual.

So that was why!

Although it was slander, it still had a negative impact on her, especially with job placements coming up.

The more Huang Jingli thought about it, the angrier she became. Her face turned a bit pale, sweat beads appeared on her forehead, and she felt some pain in her stomach.

Don’t get angry, don’t get angry, there’s still a child in the belly!

He Tiantian was startled and quickly said, "Jingli, I’ll take you to the infirmary, just keep taking deep breaths, deep breaths..."

At that moment, Wu Youliang caught up and asked anxiously, "What’s wrong with Jingli?"

"Let’s get her to the infirmary first." He Tiantian suggested, being here would only make Huang Jingli more upset.

Wu Youliang carried Huang Jingli and hurried toward the infirmary.

The students in the classroom looked at each other in confusion.

He Tiantian said to Cui Ying, "Cui Ying, please go and inform Teacher Chen, just say that Huang Jingli is feeling unwell, and we’re going to the infirmary to take care of her."

"Okay, then you hurry on over, you have experience with childbirth." Cui Ying said as she walked and ran toward the office.

At this time, the classmates who usually had a good relationship with Huang Jingli began to worry.

They all followed He Tiantian to the infirmary.

Qin Li asked, "He Tiantian, when you and that squad leader Huang were sent down to the countryside, you were in the same place, right? Is what’s written in that ’big-character poster’ true?"

"Of course, it’s not true." He Tiantian said angrily, but this was also a good opportunity to explain, "We went to Ansheng Huai City Taoyuan County Qijia Village as educated youth in 1970. There was a woman who constantly threatened Huang Jingli, saying her background was bad and that her family ancestors were landlords before the liberation. All that nonsense, it’s just slander, none of it is true, Cui Ying knows this as well, since the three of us were together. Recently that woman got admitted to a university and has been asking Huang Jingli for money. When Huang Jingli refused, she kept causing trouble. She even wrote a letter recently, and after Teacher Chen talked to a few of us, she didn’t pay it any mind. Just the day before yesterday, on Saturday, that woman even grabbed Huang Jingli by the hair. If I hadn’t gone back to get my notebook from Huang Jingli, she might have beaten her up..."

"My God, there are actually people like that in the world!" Qin Li exclaimed in shock, "To resort to violence and slander when extortion fails!"

"Yes, that person is just, just unreasonable..." He Tiantian said while reflecting that they had indulged Lin Xiaoru too much in the past.

They thought ignoring her or having someone with them would prevent Lin Xiaoru from causing trouble.

But this woman was the opposite, she was insatiable, completely unreasonable!

It seems Aunt Wu didn’t hit her enough that day!

Some people just don’t learn their lesson until they see the coffin!

"That woman really stops at nothing, copying page after page, so many of them, she must have written for the whole day yesterday!" Qin Li said with disdain. For revenge, for money, that woman was truly desperate.

"Yeah, she likes to pick on the weak." He Tiantian sneered, "Back when we were sent down to the countryside as educated youth, she reported me a few times, but I managed to fight back each time. Huang Jingli had no way out then, she was always being threatened. The distributed food, the subsidies, even doing the laundry and cooking, it was all Huang Jingli’s work. She has always bullied Huang Jingli, thinking she’s easy to push around."

"She really has a knack for picking on the weak." Qin Li lamented, her cousin was such a formidable person, yet just because she crossed He Tiantian and stooped to underhanded tactics, she ended up with such a fate.

No matter whether He Tiantian had played dirty or fought back, her cousin’s actions were indeed illegal. If you get down to the brass tacks, you can’t really blame He Tiantian.

"Yeah..." He Tiantian, walking a bit quickly, was breathing heavily by the time she arrived at the infirmary.

Inside was an old doctor, a retired physician from the city’s People’s Hospital who had been rehired by the school.

The doctor took Huang Jingli’s pulse and gave her a few acupuncture treatments, then had her lie down on the bed to rest, instructing her not to move for the time being.

When He Tiantian heard that the child had been saved, her heart slightly eased.

"Thank you, doctor." He Tiantian expressed her gratitude, "Jingli, if you get angry, you’re just stooping to her level. You just rest up here, Wu Youliang will take good care of you. Cui Ying and I will go back and clear things up for you, the classmates won’t misunderstand. And this matter, it needs to be reported to the school for a police investigation, we can’t let Lin Xiaoru off easily this time."

"Thank you, Tiantian." Huang Jingli said, "I won’t get angry anymore, I already regretted it when my stomach started hurting. Getting angry with someone like that isn’t worth it. Tiantian, we’ll rely on you for the class. As for calling the police, let Wu Youliang handle it. He’s now my husband, rightfully so. Lin Xiaoru is malicious, I’m afraid if you and Cui Ying help me, she would desperately lash out at you two as well."

He Tiantian smiled and said, "I’m not afraid of Lin Xiaoru! But you do have a point, Wu Youliang is your husband, and it would be better for him to report to the police. I’ll go outside and bring your mother-in-law over to look after you. In class, Cui Ying and I will explain things for you. I’ll mobilize the students to collect all those big-character posters, so no more students will be deceived by ignorance."

"I really appreciate your help," Huang Jingli said gratefully, deciding to become good friends with He Tiantian from now on.

He Tiantian was indeed her benefactor, always there to help and solve her problems at the most critical moments.

In the meantime, He Tiantian went to Huang Jingli’s home near the school to fetch Mother Wu.

When Mother Wu heard about today’s incident, she trembled with anger!

"Aunt Wu, Jingli needs someone to take care of her right now, you can’t let the anger affect your health," He Tiantian counseled, "This incident is egregious, and the school will definitely handle it with caution."

Mother Wu took a few deep breaths and followed He Tiantian to the school.

Arriving at the infirmary and seeing Huang Jingli lying there, Mother Wu’s eyes reddened.

"Mom, you stay with Jingli. I’m going to call the police. We can’t let this go," Wu Youliang declared, "Lin Xiaoru has to pay a price."

Just then, Teacher Chen arrived, followed by Cui Ying.

Wu Youliang and Mother Wu recounted to Teacher Chen how Lin Xiaoru had repeatedly come to extort and beat Huang Jingli, spilling the entire story.

The old doctor listened and said to Teacher Chen, "Those libelous big-character posters, they have hurt so many people! What kind of society do we live in that we cannot tolerate such false defamation? If it weren’t for the timely arrival, this student’s child might not have been saved."

Teacher Chen nodded and replied, "Huang, you focus on recuperating. The school will conduct a thorough investigation to vindicate you. This isn’t just our school’s matter, to prevent future troubles, it’s best to involve the police. Once the instigator is found, they can be properly punished."
