Chapter 137: Publicity

　　This sleepover chat allowed everyone to get to know each other better. Ning Lei didn't say anything the whole time and no one paid any attention to her.

　　But Zhong Lingling has already made up her mind that if the girls brought the hooligans back to their dormitory, it would be a nuisance. But since they are not from their department, she believes that the department leaders will stand on their side.

　　Jiang Youtao just happened to have the same plan. It would be better to stay away from a fool like Ning Lei who has no clear mind as soon as possible, otherwise if she gets struck by lightning because of her stupidity, what would they do if they were implicated?

　　Ning Lei's eyes flashed in bed. In order to avenge today's incident, she decided to publicize today's incident to the outside world, especially Feng Yunyun. She was ungrateful. She had to let her classmates know that she had abandoned her husband and daughter. Otherwise, what if her classmates were deceived by her?!

　　The chat lasted until after ten o'clock, and I don't know who fell asleep first. In the end, no one made any sound.

　　They had a dreamless night and after breakfast the next morning, no one went back to the dormitory. Instead, they went to find Teacher Jiang who was in charge of their class.

　　Teacher Jiang had also heard about this matter. When he saw Jiang Youtao and the others, he knew why they came: "I have already communicated with the teachers in the history department. Ning Lei will move back to their dormitory tomorrow."

　　The dormitory of the History Department is in Room 206, on the same floor.

　　Everyone was very satisfied with the result.

　　After saying goodbye to Teacher Jiang, when they came out of the office building, they met a male teacher wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a dark blue Lenin suit.

　　He had a smile on his face, a gentle expression and an elegant appearance.

　　"Teacher Lu, why did you come here so early today?"

　　Someone greeted him, and he smiled and said, "I finally got to meet new students, and I couldn't contain my excitement. So I got up early in the morning and dressed up nicely, just to leave a good impression on the new students."

　　After he finished speaking, he looked at the person who was talking to him again: "Teacher Zhang, you came so early and dressed so energetically, isn't it for the same reason?"

　　Teacher Zhang said with a smile: "Yes, you are right."

　　The two of them walked past Jiang Youtao and the others and headed towards the office building.

　　After they walked away, Zhong Lingling said to Jiang Youtao and the others, "Teacher Lu is a teacher in the history department. His ex-wife now lives in our compound."

　　Jiang Youtao didn't expect that Zhong Lingling was actually connected to the family of Lu Feizhang, the male protagonist of Small World No. 14.

　　She was a little surprised. In that book, not much was said about Lu Feizhang's ex-wife's life during the years when Lu Feizhang was exiled. But in the later period, she was a vicious female supporting role who abused the children and used them to win favor, which exhausted Lu Feizhang's guilt towards her.

　　Later, in order to show Ning Lei's magnanimity, she took the initiative to make peace with Lu Feizhang's ex-wife. After being insulted and misunderstood for 50,000 words, the two finally became literary friends.

　　Jiang Youtao was actually quite curious about Lu Feizhang's ex-wife, so she asked, "Why ex-wife?"

　　Zhong Lingling loved to gossip with others. The story of Lu Feizhang's ex-wife Li Rong was well-known in the compound. When she saw Lu Feizhang, she couldn't help but gossiping: "Teacher Lu was sent to the countryside. They said that he studied history to learn how to restore the feudal dynasty, so they arrested him."

　　"At that time, his child with Aunt Li was only two years old. In order to protect the child, Mr. Lu divorced her. Aunt Li was pretty. After the divorce, she was favored by the then director of the Revolutionary Committee and was forced to marry him. At that time, the director of the Revolutionary Committee was almost fifty years old."

　　"Two years after he married her, he died in a fight. After his death, Aunt Li was driven out by his son and daughter-in-law. Later, she lived in our yard."

　　"She has not remarried in these years. The first thing Teacher Lu did after being rehabilitated was to go find them. She was not happy about Teacher Lu's offer to remarry her."

　　Once this incident happened, it caused a huge uproar in the entire compound, and people are still talking about it until now.

　　Jiang Youtao looked back at Lu Feizhang. He had already followed Teacher Zhang into the office.

　　Judging from the book, the male protagonist Lu Feizhang meets all of women's requirements for their significant other.

　　He has good looks and a good family background. He understands the ways of the world outside, is considerate to his wife and loves his children at home. He is responsible, capable and broad-minded.

　　He also has the aura of a handsome uncle. What a nice person.

　　Jiang Youtao had never gotten along with him, so she didn't dare to jump to conclusion.

　　After all, you really can't believe everything written in the book, and she has been slapped in the face many times.

　　After listening to the teacher's gossip, everyone was satisfied.

　　The weather is nice today, the sun is warm and there is plenty of sunshine. Many people are standing in the corridors of the dormitory building or in the open space in front to bask in the sun. After all, this winter in the capital is too cold. The boiler room is cut corners during the day, and the house is not warm at all.

　　It's still warm outside at noon when the sun is out.

　　Jiang Youtao and the others walked back and keenly noticed that these people looked at them from time to time, and a few of them were pointing at them. When they looked over, those people looked away.

　　Jiang Youtao and the others looked at each other, then went upstairs. The vague gazes they received were even more intense than downstairs, and most of their gazes were on Feng Yunyun.

　　Several people pushed open the door of dormitory 203. Ning Lei was lying on the floor with her legs crossed, holding a book in her hand, reading it with great interest.

　　Jiang Youtao and the others ignored her and went out to get some water with the thermos.

　　In this era, a thermos was a luxury item. You had to have money and industrial coupons to buy one. She, Gu Nianwei, and Zhong Lingling were the only ones who had one in their dormitory. But they had already agreed that they would share the hot water in the three thermoses, and when the water ran out, the two people without thermoses would go and get some.

　　Jiang Youtao and the others had no objection.

　　Jiang Youtao picked up the clothes she had changed yesterday and followed them to the bathroom.

　　There is a water room on each floor of the dormitory building. It is not big. There is a large sink against a wall. There is a faucet at a certain distance. There are only two hot water faucets, and the queue is very long.

　　There were many people washing clothes in the washroom. They were talking with their backs to Jiang Youtao and the others. Coincidentally, they were talking about Feng Yunyun abandoning her husband and children.

　　Those who are not married speak of this in a condescending manner, with a sense of superiority overflowing from their words.

　　Some people lowered their heads and concentrated on their work, with pale faces and no words.

　　In this special era, countless educated youth abandoned their husbands and children in the countryside when they returned to the city. Feng Yunyun was not the first, nor the last.

　　Feng Yunyun was holding Jiang Youtao's red peony aluminum thermos and leaning against the door frame. She said with a half-smile, "I'm standing right here with you. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, talk to me face to face. What's the point of whispering behind my back?!"

　　As soon as Feng Yunyun opened her mouth, the people who were talking noisily in the bathroom immediately shut up, leaving only the sound of water flowing from the faucet.

　　The few people who were talking the most excitedly turned around in surprise, their eyes wandered over Jiang Youtao and the others, and finally landed on Feng Yunyun who seemed to be smiling.

　　Jiang Youtao was happy. She said to Gu Nianwei, "Weiwei, look at these people who are so enthusiastic in saying bad things about others behind their backs. If you don't know them, you might think they have some grudge against Yunyun. But it turns out that these people don't even know Yunyun."

　　Gu Nianwei and Jiang Youtao can be said to be old partners. They have a tacit understanding on how to insult others: "That's right. I was shocked. I just went out to take a look at our school gate to confirm that we are in school and not in the village."

　　"Oh, so we are in school?" Jiang Youtao pretended to be surprised: "So all the comrades here are intellectuals? Weiwei, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have thought I was still in the village, and some of the people here are the old ladies in the village who gossip about the neighbors all day long."

　　The two of them were praising each other and teasing each other, and the faces of those who had just been gossiping about Feng Yunyun turned pale and blue.

　　Feng Yunyun felt very happy when she saw this. Jiang Youtao and the others' words of protection made Feng Yunyun feel warm in her heart.

　　She looked at the person who was talking the most happily and said, "I know you. You are from the history department. Your name is Zhang Yanqing, right? You'd better pray that you don't make any mistakes during your years at school. I will keep an eye on you."

　　Feng Yunyun stretched out two fingers, pointed them in front of her eyes, and then pointed at Zhang Yanqing.

　　Zhang Yanqing's face turned pale. She was also an educated youth who went to the countryside, and she had never made any mistakes in her past.

　　The people who had just been talking excitedly with Zhang Yanqing all moved away from Zhang Yanqing at the same time.

　　Feng Yunyun passed them to fetch water. Zhang Yanqing was not the only one who had spoken, but she was the one who jump around the most happily. It was also a coincidence that Feng Yunyun only knew her, so who else could she catch if not her to establish her authority?

　　No one spoke in the bathroom. Everyone sat there quietly doing their own things. Feng Yunyun didn't leave after getting some water. She just waited for Jiang Youtao and the others by the side.

　　Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei washed clothes slowly. After they left slowly, people in the bathroom started talking.

　　When they returned to the dormitory, Ning Lei was still talking on the bed, and there were some melon seed shells on the floor.

　　Jiang Youtao was really impressed by Ning Lei's suicidal spirit.

　　She really couldn't understand how someone like Ning Lei could be reborn as the heroine.

　　Is it true that God loves fools?

　　Feng Yunyun carefully placed Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei's thermos under the bed. After making sure they couldn't be kicked away, she tied her hair into a bun again and rolled up her sleeves.

　　She walked to the bed, grabbed Ning Lei's hair and pulled her under the bed: "Ning Lei, do you think I'm easy to bully because I'm poor?"

　　Ning Lei screamed in pain and subconsciously reached out to grab the bed frame: "Feng Yunyun, are you crazy? Are you sick?"

　　"I'm not sick, you are." Feng Yunyun used all her strength to pull Ning Lei down.

　　Ning Lei was finally pulled down. When Ning Lei fell to the ground, Feng Yunyun sat astride Ning Lei, grabbed her wrist with one hand, and gave her a big slap.

　　"Ning Lei, were you the one spreading those rumors about me? Let me tell you, I, Feng Yunyun, am poor, but I am not stupid."

　　"I haven't told them about your case yet. You brought hooligans to the girls' dormitory in broad daylight and were caught by the Revolutionary Committee. You also tried to bribe me with money to make me say that he was not a hooligan. Because I am an upright person and did not accept your bribe, you hold a grudge against me and spread our private affairs to others, right?"

　　Feng Yunyun slapped her again with her backhand: "You are a really dark person. I have never seen anyone as mean as you. Since you like to spread rumors so much, why don't you go out and tell everyone that you have been punished by the school before the new semester starts."

　　"Since you are so generous in helping me publicize my personal affairs, wouldn't it be impolite of me if I don't respond to you?"

　　Feng Yunyun shook Ning Lei off and ran to the balcony.

　　Ning Lei's face changed drastically: "Bitch, how dare you say that."

　　She was about to rush over to stop Feng Yunyun, but Jiang Youtao saw that the situation was not good and immediately walked over to persuade them to stop fighting: "Hey, hey, hey, don't fight. We are all classmates. What can't we talk about?"

　　Jiang Youtao accidentally lifted Ning Lei into the air, and when she felt something was wrong, she put Ning Lei down without leaving any trace.

　　Gu Nianwei, Zhong Lingling and Cheng Linfang also came to mediate.

　　Cheng Linfang closed the door.

　　Feng Yunyun ran to the corridor and took a deep breath. "Everyone, listen carefully. Ning Lei from the history department brought her boyfriend to the dormitory in broad daylight without the dormitory manager's consent. Her boyfriend was dishonest and acted like a hooligan after arriving at the dormitory. He was caught. Both Ning Lei and her boyfriend were severely punished by the school."

　　The fact that Ning Lei was given a serious warning was not made public. After all, a student was given a serious warning before the school even started, which had a bad impact on the school.

　　Feng Yunyun is a person who thinks three steps ahead, otherwise she would not have been able to review for the college entrance examination when she wanted to, and finally be admitted to the best university in the country when her husband controlled her social life and did not allow her to contact her family.

　　She didn't come to school early to have fun, she had already made some connections. Ning Lei's being punished was not a secret, she would find out by asking her acquaintances.

　　Feng Yunyun has a life motto: I will not offend others unless they offend me. If Ning Lei hadn't come to provoke her first and told her private affairs to others, she would have buried this secret in the ground.

　　Jiang Youtao clicked her tongue. She still had a good impression of Feng Yunyun.

　　Everything has two sides. Sometimes it is not a bad thing for a girl to be scheming. As long as she has correct values, there is nothing wrong with being a schemer.
