Chapter 272: The Weak Sister of the Heroine in the Period Novel (18)
"Why can't we talk about good things?" Gu Zhen said with a smile, "Using peach cakes to encourage children to practice calligraphy, isn't it worth promoting?"
Fu Kun was stunned and couldn't think of any words to refute.
This is what his mother seemed to have said at the time. She asked all the children who were in primary school in the staff compound to come over. Since they were doing nothing during the holiday anyway, they might as well practice calligraphy together.
Whoever writes well can eat peach cake.
In the end, his mother distributed peach cakes to everyone, and all the children in the staff housing estate liked her very much.
Gu Zhen took out three pieces and gave them to Fu Jianning's three children: "Your name is Fu Kun, right? You may not recognize me. My name is Gu Zhen, and I am your mother's biological sister. You have to call me Auntie!"
Fu Kun scratched his head. It seemed like he always heard this name, from his mother, his father, and his grandparents whom he rarely saw.
Gu Zhen stood in the middle of the children and distributed all the peach cakes.
"Can I ask everyone for a favor?"
The naive children agreed to the beautiful sister's request without even thinking about it.
Gu Zhen didn't ask them to do anything. They just had to tell their parents about helping Gu Man write. It didn't matter if they didn't remember the content. She would help everyone recall it.
These kids were only in primary school, and the oldest ones were only eight or nine years old. They didn’t think much about it and all said yes in unison.
By noon, when people came back from get off work in the factory, the tube-shaped building suddenly became much more lively.
The adults had a lot of mixed feelings in their minds, and when they heard the children's stories, they felt something was wrong.
When did you go to the factory director's house to learn calligraphy from that dishonest Gu Man?
What did you write? Why are all of them curse words?
What kind of hypocrisy, meanness, and habitual lying, yet still begging the organization to conduct a thorough investigation?
Everyone was confused at the moment, but it was noon and no one thought much about it. In the evening, after dinner, everyone went out for a walk and inevitably talked about these things when they got together.
Wow, when several parents put their thoughts together, how come they could sound familiar from these words?
Isn't this a fucking letter of complaint?
"Let's go! Let's go ask the factory director what our child has written."
"Yes, that's right. We can't let anyone become a target just because the child is young. Even the factory director's wife can't do that!"
A group of people went up to the third floor and knocked on the door of the factory director's house.
Fu Jianning was reading the newspaper. Gu Manman had just finished feeding her little daughter and hadn't even eaten a bite when she heard a knock on the door.
She frowned. What she disliked most about this era was the lack of sense of boundaries.
There are people visiting every day.
"Manman, go open the door." Fu Jianning gave the order casually without even raising his head from behind the newspaper.
Gu Manman put down her chopsticks, opened the door with a unhappy expression, and found that the person outside had an even uglier expression.
"You guys... Hey! Stop pushing!"
The door was pushed open directly, and Gu Manman had no choice but to take a few steps back before she could stand firm.
"Director! Today we are here to ask if your partner has invited our children to come to your house to write. He also gave each of them a piece of peach cake."
Gu Manman's face immediately turned dark.
How did they know about this? That's not right. Even if they knew about it, they wouldn't have to go to such lengths to accuse me, right?
"We all heard what the children said today, Director. If we hadn't sat together and chatted at night, we wouldn't have known that your partner asked the children to write a letter of denunciation!"
The color drained from Gu Manman's face instantly.
Fu Jianning stood up with a heavy face and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Why would we write a letter of denunciation when we have nothing better to do? Tell me who we are reporting!"
Before the visitor could say anything, the children in the room were frightened and started crying loudly.
Gu Manman hugged the children lovingly and glared at the crowd fiercely.
Some have a bad temper and explode immediately. You feel sorry for your children, but don’t they feel sorry for them too?
"Tell these brats to come over here and write it out for me! I must get justice today!"
As he spoke, someone started calling them one by one. Not long after, more than a dozen elementary school students came running up from downstairs.
There are boys and girls.
Gu Manman closed her eyes and quickly thought of a solution.
She called several children over in batches. Each of them wrote something different. When they put the pieces together and added her own handwriting with her left hand, she thought no one would be able to find it.
I didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly.
These kids had no idea what was going on, but they instinctively felt they had made a mistake and stood there trembling, not daring to say a word.
"Don't be afraid, kids. Tell us what you wrote at the factory director's house that day. It's not your fault. Your parents won't be angry."
With the adults' comfort, the children immediately relaxed.
But after all, many days had passed and everyone had forgotten about it. Only a few boys who played marbles in the afternoon were reminded by Gu Zhen, who recited a few words after thinking about it.
"My thoughts and morals are corrupt and my behavior is indecent. Please leaders take notice..."
As they recited, the one with a clear mind immediately said, "Director, who exactly does your partner want to report? Why is it so complicated? Using a few children, right? Who is the one who is morally corrupt?"
"Speaking of reporting, isn't the one who has caused the most trouble recently the third child of Master Gu's family, Gu Zhen? She is Gu Manman's sister, right?"
"You mean to say that the person who reported Gu Zhen is the factory director's girlfriend?"
“…” Thinking of this possibility, everyone suddenly fell silent.
Looking at Gu Manman again, her complexion could no longer be described as bad. She had a gloomy face and held the children tightly, but the blue veins on her hands were bulging, and it was obvious that she was uneasy inside.
Fu Jianning immediately realized that it was really her who did it.
Bastard, brainless idiot.
Those who came to seek justice did not want to get entangled with the factory director's family, but some things had to be made clear.
"Director, we came to you for no other reason than to say that even if the children are immature, you cannot take advantage of them like this. If they can write a few words for a piece of peach cake today, they can do something else for money tomorrow."
Have you forgotten how many people had their families broken up and lives destroyed in the past decade because of a single word?
An honest and upright man in their family compound scratched a newspaper with his key, and it turned out that there was a photo on the back.
Then someone reported them for being disrespectful, and the whole family was taken to a farm.
Gu Manman can't find a group of ignorant children to help her just because she doesn't want her handwriting to be discovered. Which parent would want their child to be used as a gun?
A group of people made it clear and took their children back to educate them. There is no free lunch in the world. If you take benefits from others, you have to pay the price.
Suddenly, there were only five people left in the house.
Fu Jianning's tone was unexpectedly calm: "Xiao Kun, take your brother and sister to the house to play for a while. I have something to say to your mother."
