After the figure came out, the teacher immediately stepped forward and asked, âMadam, why are you here?â
Madam Sun said, âI heard that a woman was present. I thought that you would definitely be troubled, so I came out to take a look.â
The teacher sighed and nodded. âThatâs true. This woman is very tricky.â
Gu Yundong almost burst out laughing when she heard that. Were the two of them out of their minds? Would he be put in a difficult position just because she was present? Was it difficult for her to ask two questions?
Madam Sun had already turned around and looked straight at Gu Yundong. She said, âIf you have any questions, you can ask me. You donât have to hold on to my husband.â
Gu Yundong chuckled. Who was holding on to your husband? It was as if she had taken a fancy to this old man. This woman felt too good about herself.
Alright, since you two are husband and wife, I wonât stand on ceremony.
Her eyes darkened. That moment of coldness actually made Madam Sun a little afraid.
âDid you just say that Chen Jingwen is a habitual thief?â Gu Yundong sneered. âWhat else has he stolen? Since such a thing has happened in the past, why didnât you deal with it in the past and chase him out of school?â
Madam Sun did not expect her to hit the nail on the head the moment she spoke. She immediately choked.
After a moment, she raised her chin slightly and said, âIn the past, it was because there was no evidence.â
âYou call him a habitual thief without any evidence?â Gu Yundong was simply shocked by their train of thought. âSo this is what you teach here. Just because Chen Jingwen is a country boy, he is the suspect whenever anything is stolen. Then, heâs called a habitual thief without any evidence showing that he stole anything. Then, based on that, heâs guilty again when some student lost something, and heâs chased out of school without even having the chance to explain himself.â
Gu Yundong burst out laughing and looked at the surrounding crowd. âDid you hear that, everybody? I thought that the teacher of this Wen Mo Hall was just pedantic. Now I realize that heâs not pedantic, but blind, paranoid, arrogant, irresponsible and self-righteous. Teacher? Can someone like him be a teacher? If his students become High Scholars and officials in the future, they will make groundless judgments based on their guesses too, right? How many innocent people will go to prison? This is simply disregarding human lives.â
The onlookers couldnât help but nod. Thatâs right. The teacher and his wife said that the child was a thief, but where was the evidence?
âTo be honest, I used to think that this teacher was different from the other teachers I saw in other schools. He was always mysterious. When a woman brought a child to his door, he looked like he had seen a rat or a cockroach. It was as if everyone would like him.â
âI think so too. I donât think the teachers of the other schools are as hard to satisfy as him.â
âThis girl is right. Theyâre spreading this news without any evidence. Just now, this child was crying so miserably over there. One look and you can tell that he was wronged. This teacher is like a dog.â
âLook at what that Madam Sun is saying. Habitual thief? So itâs all based on their own guesses. Then, if my family lost a chicken, can it be said that they stole it? Anyway, I saw her pass by my house, so I guessed so.â
When Madam Sun heard the dissatisfied voices of the surrounding crowd, she saw that they were all standing on Gu Yundongâs side. She immediately said angrily, âBut, but I have witnesses.â
