Another classmate chimed in, "Shen Yue's group didn't do well because of her own mistakes, and she blames others instead."

"Luckily, I didn't answer when Goddess Shen Yue called me last time. Hehe~ Those idiots in Class 8 fell for it and got a terrible scolding from Goddess Shen Yue."

Shen Yue's face instantly turned ugly, her originally fair cheeks flushed red.

Shen Yue was surprised that Chen Dong would calmly state the facts and even gain the approval of his classmates.

In the past, when I slandered Chen Dong like this, Chen Dong had no idea how to deal with it, and I always succeeded!

Shen Yue argued anxiously, "You...you're talking nonsense! You did it on purpose."

Her voice became somewhat shrill due to her anxiety, and a hint of panic was revealed in her eyes.

Chen Dong maintained his smile, which seemed to be a solid defensive line, making Shen Yue's attacks impossible to break through.

He slowly took a small notebook out of his schoolbag.

The pages of the notebook were already somewhat wrinkled, clearly from being frequently read.

Chen Dong turned to one of the pages and held it up so that the teacher and classmates could see it.

Then Chen Dongcai said, "Shen Yue, I'm not talking nonsense."

"This is a record of what happened last Friday after the work was finished, including the distribution of tools and the work process of each group."

"It details the time and process by which Shen Yue took the new shovel, as well as how our group completed the task using the old tools."

"If you don't believe me, you can take a look. There are several signatures of classmates who were present at the time as proof."

The teacher then turned around and looked at Shen Yue with a serious expression.

A hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment flashed in her eyes as she asked, "Shen Yue, is what Chen Dong said true?"

Shen Yue's eyes began to dart away; she dared not look directly into the teacher's eyes.

She stammered, "I...I..."

But he couldn't find the words to refute it.

Shen Yue's hands were tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, revealing her inner tension and unease.

Seeing this, Chen Dong continued, "Teacher, I think we are all classmates and should help each other and make progress together."

"Instead of arguing in the classroom over things that have no basis in fact."

"Everyone worked hard in the labor class last Friday. We should focus our energy on how to complete the task better, instead of blaming each other."

Chen Dong's voice was very calm, and on the surface, he even seemed to be speaking up for Shen Yue.

This gave everyone a new understanding of Chen Dong's maturity and rationality.

But the truth is only known to Chen Dong and Guo Miao.

Chen Dong simply didn't want to waste time pursuing Shen Yue, that idiot; he'd rather have the teacher teach some knowledge.

The teacher nodded slightly, agreeing with Chen Dong's words, and a gratified smile appeared on her face.

The teacher nodded and said, "Chen Dong is right. Students should be united and friendly with each other. When problems arise, they should first look for the cause within themselves, rather than arbitrarily blaming others."

"Shen Yue, you can't criticize your classmates so casually in the future."

"Alright, everyone sit down and let's continue the lesson."

Since Chen Dong had no intention of pursuing the matter, the teacher didn't waste any more words, said a few sentences, and continued the lesson.

Shen Yue sat down, her face flushed, her body trembling slightly, her hatred for Chen Dong deepening even further.

But there is nothing to do.

Shen Yue bit her lip hard, her eyes revealing a hint of resentment and anger, secretly vowing to find an opportunity to take revenge on Chen Dong, that scumbag.

Chen Dong calmly returned to his seat, as if nothing had happened, and continued to listen attentively.

His eyes were fixed intently on the blackboard, and his pen was constantly jotting down the key points the teacher was explaining.

It was as if what had just happened was just a minor incident, and it had not affected his study at all.

Chu Mengran, as Chen Dong's deskmate, witnessed the whole thing.

Her eyes revealed her appreciation and admiration for Chen Dong.

During the break, Chu Mengran gently patted Chen Dong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Chen Dong, you did a fantastic job just now!"

"I feel like Shen Yue was deliberately picking a fight. You handled it so calmly and cleverly, that's really impressive."

Chen Dong raised his head, looked at Chu Mengran, and showed a humble smile.

"It's nothing, I just don't want her to distort the truth."

"Moreover, everyone knows what the facts are, and I believe that justice will prevail."

Chu Mengran nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I think you did the right thing."

“However, I’m worried that Shen Yue didn’t get the better of you this time, and she might cause you trouble in the future. You should be careful.” Chen Dong smiled confidently and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not afraid of her.”

"If she dares to mess around again, I will still do what I did today, let the facts speak for themselves, and slap her in the face hard."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with trust and understanding.

In this small classroom, their feelings for each other deepened once again.

......

Saturday morning was sunny and bright.

A gentle breeze rustled the trees lining the street, their leaves creating a soft, melodious symphony.

Chen Dong brought some fresh fruit and delicate snacks that his family had prepared for his second aunt, Chen Meiju.

Calmly and composedly, I went to visit my second aunt.

Along the way, he was filled with joy thinking about his second aunt's usual kindness and gentleness, and her warm smile and kind words floated into his mind.

A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips as he looked forward to the heartwarming scene of meeting his second aunt, and the pedals of his bicycle seemed to move more and more nimbly.

When Chen Dong stepped into his aunt's courtyard, his cheerful mood vanished instantly, replaced by deep worry.

Chen Dong heard a loud argument coming from inside the house.

The sound was sharp and piercing, shattering the tranquility that the courtyard should have been.

Chen Dong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pushed open the courtyard gate and took a few quick steps into the ancestral home.

The second aunt was looking down, her body trembling slightly, her face full of grievance.

Chen Meiju's eyes were red and swollen, with tears welling up in them, as if she had endured a long period of grievances.

Meanwhile, Xu's parents-in-law sat in chairs, their faces as gloomy as the sky before a storm, muttering incessantly.

"Look at you, you've made a complete mess of your life!"

"You can't do any of the housework properly. We old folks have to worry and suffer because of you. We're the unluckiest people in the world!"

Old Master Xu glared, his eyes filled with anger, and shouted loudly.

"Exactly, all he does every day is busy with useless things, running around like a busy person."

"But you didn't make much money."

"I still have to rely on my son to support me, so what use are you?"

Grandma Xu chimed in, pointing at her second aunt while making clicking sounds.
