Countdown to Awakening

"Zhang Mei, you..." Teacher Qin was speechless and looked at Zhang Mei in disbelief.

She actually said something like that? How strange! She wouldn't say that normally. Shouldn't she be on my side? Why is it different this time?

She hadn't seen Zhang Mei like this before! She was really wrong.

That's not right. When those things happened before, didn't Zhang Mei speak up for the victims? What happened this time?

"What's wrong? Am I wrong? If you seduce someone else's man one day, where will he go to seek justice? Don't you just rely on your youth and beauty to seduce people? I've seen a lot of people like you. Who doesn't know what you think? Humph! Get out of our village!" After saying that, Zhang Mei looked at Teacher Qin, as if it was a provocation and a show of force.

“…” Teacher Qin opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything - there was something stuck in his throat.

There are so many people who want her to leave, not just those who hate her, but also those who seem to have no connection with her at all...

Doesn't Zhang Mei usually side with the victim? Does she really hate her that much? She doesn't know what she did to offend Zhang Mei to treat her like that.

"What's going on? Doesn't Widow Zhang usually like to take care of these things? Oh... something is wrong now... is there something fishy?" The whispers in the crowd became more and more.

Qi Yuanyuan stood in the crowd, feeling a little anxious, but this time she didn't say anything.

If she stepped forward to intervene in this matter again, her parents would probably have a harder time in the village. It would also affect the reputation of Qi Rongfeng and Liang Xiaocui.

The old couple cares most about reputation...

Moreover, it is clear that Ma Hui wants to get rid of Teacher Qin... It is difficult to control him.

"What should we do, Yuanyuan? Are we really not going to care? But Teacher Qin is one of the few teachers in the village. Do we want to watch her get kicked out? It would be fine if she asked to leave on her own, but if she is kicked out, I'm afraid she will lose face." When Sun Pandi said this, her eyes looked towards Qi Yuanyuan.

She only remembered that when she was in primary and junior high school, there was only one elderly man in the village, but he is now retired.

Isn't it a good thing to have a few more teachers now? The village is so short of teachers. Besides, Teacher Qin did nothing wrong last night... Why blame her?

"What can I do? Do you have any idea? If I try to take care of it this time, my parents will definitely scold me." Qi Yuanyuan said.

Hearing this, Sun Pandi grew anxious. "So...are you really not going to care? But Teacher Qin...she didn't do anything wrong, so why is she being blamed by all these people? Aren't those who blame her the ones who are wrong? Now even Aunt Zhang wants her gone. Why didn't I see that Aunt Zhang was such a person before?...Teacher Qin is so kind!"

Although Qin Zixin has never taught Sun Panddi, judging from the children she has taught, Teacher Qin must be a good teacher.

"Panpan, don't be anxious. Wait and see how things develop. Then decide whether to take care of this matter or not... Okay? I don't have a solution right now. Let me think about it." Qi Yuanyuan comforted him.

Sun Pandi finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Qi Yuanyuan had spoken up for Teacher Qin, perhaps Teacher Qin wouldn't have to leave the village...

With her eloquence, she's definitely capable of convincing people. Hadn't she silenced people the last few times? Shouldn't she be able to do the same this time?

"Do you all agree with what I said? Since the villagers all think she seduces men, why not just kick her out? What's wrong with suspending her? If she continues to stay in the village, our children will probably be taught bad habits! I think Huang Ping is right. How can a woman like this continue to stay in the village? Village chief, in my opinion, let her go. Let her go quickly! Get away so that she won't bring disaster to our village!"

Zhang Mei shouted the last sentence.

"Shameless thing, vixen, letting you stay in the village is just to seduce people! Go back to Youcheng if you need to! This place is not suitable for you! Do you deserve to stay in our village? You are an unlucky thing!" Zhang Mei

The village chief was also stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that Zhang Mei, who always stood up for justice, would not speak up for Teacher Qin this time.

"Do you really think so?" the village chief asked uncertainly, because he knew Zhang Mei would never say such a thing.

Zhang Mei nodded without hesitation.

"Well... Teacher Qin, let's do this. Maybe you really are not suitable for our village. You should leave... go back to the city. So many people want you to leave, so just go." After the village chief finished speaking, he did not forget to sigh, as if expressing regret.

Teacher Qin looked at the village chief in disbelief.

Just decided like that? So rashly? "Village Chief...won't you investigate what happened last night? I really don't want to leave the village. The village is so short of teachers, I can't leave. What will happen to the children if I leave?"

"Oh... I've already told you that it's bad luck if you stay in the village. You will corrupt our children. Who wants you to teach? There are two teachers in the village. A vixen like you should just get as far away from us as possible!" said Li Mingming's mother.

Qin Zixin looked at everyone helplessly. Everyone knew she was being wronged, but no one was willing to speak up for her. They all hoped she would be driven away...

Will the village get better after she leaves? Not necessarily.

"Village chief, I won't leave. The children in the village all like me very much. I will teach them well. Can you please not chase me away? I will really teach them well..." Qin Zixin pleaded.

The village chief was helpless, then sighed again and continued, "How about this, you pick a time to leave. It won't be considered as anyone chasing you away. You should have some dignity. Our village has no room for you."

After saying this, the village chief went into the house without looking back.

"..." Qin Zixin's eyes were slightly red. "Okay, I'm leaving!" After saying that, Qin Zixin left the village chief's house.

Then, the audience dispersed.

"Aunt Zhang, why are you like this? Don't you know that Teacher Qin was wronged? It's obviously..." Qi Yuanyuan was halfway through her words when Zhang Mei interrupted her, "Stop talking. This place is really not suitable for her. Let's go back." Zhang Mei answered her in a low voice.

Then she walked forward carrying the child.

Qi Yuanyuan and Sun Pandidi followed her all the way, asking her questions non-stop.

After walking away, Zhang Mei was really tired of listening to it.

"Children, you must know that this village is not suitable for girls. Although Teacher Qin is the village teacher, she is a girl after all. Isn't she also being missed by others? If there is no Ma Hui, there will be others. If it fails once, what about twice, three times? It's just like Yingdi. So letting her go is the best thing for her."
