Chapter 445: Chapter 435 What a Good Kid Has Been Taught Wrong (Extra Update for the Supporters of Little Scholar Mouse)
Shen Yunfang glanced at Shen Yunxiu’s haughty demeanor and immediately knew her intent. "Oh, please don’t push me. Our school is very busy right now, and we don’t have time for this kind of dinner party. You should save your breath."
"Mommy, I want to go home." Manman had sat in front of the car long enough and wanted to get out and go home, but the auntie in front was insisting on talking to her mother, which was so annoying.
"Alright, sweetie, just be patient a little bit longer, we’ll go home soon." Shen Yunfang gently patted her daughter’s back to soothe her. "Are you okay, then? If you’re fine, then step aside. Remember, a good dog doesn’t stand in the way."
She knew she could never have a peaceful relationship with Shen Yunxiu in this lifetime, so there was no need to give her face. Shen Yunxiu seemed not to know whether her head was filled with water or with shit, always trying to cozy up to her—what was Shen Yunfang supposed to do, not curse her? It would be like doing Shen Yunxiu an injustice not to.
"Excellent, just excellent!" Shen Yunxiu said through gritted teeth. She had thought that since her family’s man was a university student, she should have some face in front of Shen Yunfang, but no, Shen Yunfang really had no regard, and even slapped her face like this. "Hmph, don’t think you’re something special. With that shabby school of yours for farming, how can it compare with our Chengjian’s prestigious school? Just so you know, once Fang Chengjian graduates, he’ll be an official. There’ll come a time when you will be begging me." Shen Yunxiu’s eyes began to spit fire again, and then she neurotically giggled at the thought of what might happen in the future. "Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, eh? If you beg me now and offer your house to me, I might pretend nothing ever happened. You’d better think carefully."
Shen Yunfang looked at her and asked, "Are you sick?" Did she really think that Chengjian was the only one in the Capital who got into college? Did she believe that only her family’s Chengjian could become an official? Not to mention whether Fang Chengjian had the ability, his character alone made it clear that if he ever did become an official, his prospects wouldn’t be great. Shen Yunxiu now felt that she was privileged by her husband’s status, expecting everyone to fawn over her.
"What do you mean? Who are you calling sick?" Shen Yunxiu widened her eyes and put her hands on her hips.
"If you’re not sick, then stop having such fanciful dreams." Shen Yunfang looked at her coldly, deciding to hit her with something harsh to deter her from bothering her in the future. "Shen Yunxiu, I’m formally warning you. I have no relationship with you. I’m not taking revenge for your past grievances against me and my child out of respect for my uncle. But his face no longer protects you since you’ve bought it off with money, so now you’d best not show up in front of me or provoke my wrath anymore. Otherwise, what I might do won’t be something you can withstand."
"Ha, what a joke—you bear grudges against me? On what grounds? I’ve let you off easy without settling accounts with you, you got that?" Shen Yunxiu never admitted her mistakes, and if there were any, it was because others provoked her.
"Hmph, it seems that breaking one of your legs didn’t teach you a lesson, so let’s switch to the other leg this time." Shen Yunfang said without change of expression as she glanced at Shen Yunxiu’s right leg. Last time, it was Li Hongjun who had broken her left leg.
Shen Yunxiu blinked as she processed the words, and it took her a moment to understand. "Oh, it was you. You did it. I wondered how I could have possibly fallen for no reason. You, you, just wait, I’m going to report you to the police right now?"
Shen Yunfang let out a sinister laugh.
Suddenly Shen Yunxiu felt her left leg throbbing with pain again.
"Go ahead, go file a report. I want to see who would believe your baseless words and convict me." There was no way it could happen because, frankly, she didn’t do it, and even if the police started an investigation based on her accusation, they would find nothing. "Do you believe that if I managed to break your leg once without anyone noticing, I could do it again, over and over? I could keep you bedridden for the rest of your life." Shen Yunfang threatened coldly.
"You dare?" Shen Yunxiu was actually terrified inside, her eyes darting around unconsciously, searching for passersby, though her mouth was still stubbornly defiant.
"Don’t believe me? Just try me," Shen Yunfang said coldly, "If I catch you loafing around in front of me again, you’d better be prepared to spend another three months in bed. Get out!" The last word was shouted.
Shen Yunxiu shuddered with fright, then ran off like a startled rabbit, fearing that Shen Yunfang would chase after her.
"Hahahaha..." Laughter erupted from Shen Yunfang and the two children behind her.
"Did you see that, baby? This is what we call winning people over with virtue. We can’t just resort to violence when something happens, that’s irrational. We need to use our brains first; we’ll use verbal attacks to scare them off if we can, and if that doesn’t work, we turn to physical force to drive them away. Understood?" Shen Yunfang didn’t forget to educate the children. But with this kind of education, it would be hard for the kids not to turn out twisted. She was even less reliable than Li Hongjun.
"Understood," Pangpang took the lesson to heart.
Two days later, Shen Yunfang received another letter from Dai Zhifei in class.
This time, Dai Zhifei made an even bolder move, not sending the letter stealthily but having a classmate deliver it to Shen Yunfang during a busy class break.
Shen Yunfang frowned, didn’t even glance at the letter in his hand, and directly said to the classmate delivering it, "I’m sorry, but I’m not familiar with him, so I don’t think we need to correspond by letter. Please return this to him. Also, could you pass on a message for me? Tell Dai Zhifei to stop doing these senseless things in the future. It’s really troubling me. If he continues, I’ll have to ask my husband to come to school and have a proper talk with him." She was a married woman with obligations, and anyone interested in her would have to check with her husband, Li Hongjun, first.
The messenger didn’t know what to do and ended up having to take the letter back with him.
Everyone in the class was watching, either openly or covertly. Seeing Shen Yunfang rejecting Dai Zhifei’s letter, they all breathed a sigh of relief and went back to their business.
They knew Li Hongjun, who had come to their class to attend an English lesson. Just those few classes had left a strong impression of the military officer on the entire class, and there was an instinctive protective stance towards Shen Yunfang, the military spouse. With Dai Zhifei, that brat, showing interest in Shen Yunfang, there were over a hundred pairs of eyes in the class watching, and they would definitely not allow Shen Yunfang to be fooled.
The class monitor, seeing that the situation had been handled, nudged the girl sitting next to him to go and inquire; it seemed inappropriate for him to go as a man.
The girl, understanding the class monitor’s gesture, straightened up, put on a face full of friendly smiles, and sidled up to Shen Yunfang.
"Shen Yunfang, what’s the deal between you and Dai Zhifei? Why is he sending you letters?" This was something the rest of the students wanted to know too.
Although the classes in the Department of Agriculture all knew each other and often attended lectures together, the students usually stuck with their own classmates and were just acquaintances with those from other classes, at best only familiar faces.
