Chapter 253: Chapter 253

Even though she knew a bit about the situation beforehand, Gong Ruini was stunned when Gong Tao took out the clothes.

"These are Uncle’s clothes?" There were so many footprints and various greasy things on them—what was going on?

Gong Ruini just wanted to say if they hated these clothes so much, they should have completely ruined them so no one could catch them. Was it necessary to mess up these clothes ?

The important thing was they got caught red-handed by someone. Really, what are those people thinking?

"Can these clothes be cleaned?" Zhao Guangran thought his mom should really come see these clothes, and stop saying his clothes were dirty. Compared to these clothes, he kept his clothes pretty clean before.

Hua Miaozhu walked past and saw the clothes in Gong Tao’s hands. She expressed her disdain, "Where did these clothes come from?"

"Who wears clothes without washing them?" Even if you want to give clothes to someone, at least clean them first. How could they just take out such clothes to give away? The woman of this house really isn’t very competent.

Gong Ruini indicated that she really didn’t want to look at such clothes, "They need to pay compensation."

"Even if the cotton can be reused, the outer fabric is pretty much destroyed; they need to pay. What’s the use of a mere apology?"

A flimsy ’sorry, I made a mistake’—can that compensate for economic losses?

Compensation? Gong Tao lightly patted Gong Ruini on the head, "They don’t have money for compensation; I’m having them go in for reeducation."

"Hmph, these people don’t know how high the sky is."

"Even if they’re ’educated youth,’ it seems they really don’t have any loyalty. When the public security came, they were all shirking responsibilities." Thinking of those people’s faces made Gong Tao feel utterly uninterested.

"Everyone kept saying they were innocent, that it was others who came up with the idea."

"Let alone that, they even said bad things about Cai Ming." This was what made Gong Tao the angriest—they were all like dogs biting dogs, absolutely typical.

These people who only know how to discredit others, of course when the matter is exposed, they desperately accuse others of being excessive, while trying to clean up their own image.

But to say it was Cai Ming who wronged them first—thank goodness the people in the village helped testify, "Cai Ming, treat those few children on that side well in the future; they helped speak up."

Even if it was the truth, if people didn’t want to help, it didn’t matter—they stood up to help say a few good words absolutely only because they wanted Cai Ming to help take care of their own children, given that Cai Ming was going to be a teacher.

"Don’t worry, I definitely will." Whether they came forward this time or not, those villagers indeed helped a lot in the beginning when he decided to stay in the village.

Gong Ruini caught on to the key point—that group was all biting themselves. How would this matter ultimately be resolved? Hmph, it’s best if each and every one of them goes in for reeducation.

Let’s see how they strut around afterward, even if they write complaint letters later—today’s fuss alone could crush them.

"Go to the police station; as for the specifics, I don’t know," Gong Tao indicated that tomorrow he’d go to the commune to find out the situation. Since they finally caught these people’s weak spot, they must pursue it vigorously.

"I want them to know that regardless of how we educate them, they can’t complain."

Zhao Gang was listening to Gong Tao talk about the incident, his eyes darted around continuously, everyone present clearly understood he was concocting some idea.

Gong Tao was also quite looking forward to what good idea Zhao Gang might come up with; if it’s feasible, he’d use connections to get it done tomorrow.

Zhao Gang originally wanted to keep things under wraps for a while—it wasn’t easy getting everyone’s attention, so of course, he wanted to show off his importance.

"Speed it up." Zhan Jing said impatiently; although her husband was usually quite reliable, he tended to act foolishly sometimes. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel⸺fire.net

Sigh, indeed, his wife was angry. Why wasn’t this fire directed at the children? Some things really weren’t in his control, "I’ll find Xia Hongbo tomorrow."

"Isn’t he currently reining in the bad habits of ’educated youth’? We might as well push Tong Juan and the others out." Anyway, they’ve already offended people fiercely, so there’s no need to be lenient—those people weren’t in a hurry to be kind to Cai Ming either.

Informing Xia Hongbo about this isn’t about making them a model to be dealt with, is it? Isn’t that going a bit far?

"Even without Xia Hongbo, do you think these people won’t vent their anger on Cai Ming after losing face so badly this time?"

"Or they’ll vent their anger on you, Gong Tao; or if they can’t deal with the kids, how about they vent it on Gong Ruini and them?"

"One should know that here, dealing with a child isn’t difficult at all."

No way, Gong Ruini wasn’t worried about these people’s various schemes—she could find a way to get back at them anyway, but if they resorted to physical attack against her, Gong Ruini didn’t know if she would dodge it.

Gong Tao had zero fondness for Tong Juan’s group of people, "That kind of people should be taught a lesson."

"A basin of water was nearly splashed on Ni Zi, and afterward, they didn’t even apologize." If someone thought such people deserved pity or sympathy, it would truly be blind.

"Today, when I went over, they were as savage as could be."

"And even though Cai Ming’s clothes were found in their place, they were still all aggressive, acting as if they hadn’t done anything wrong." When recalling the scene back then, Gong Tao could only shake his head, unsure of what else he could do.

No way, Gong Ruini was shocked—those people even acted tough, did they really manage her and Cai Meina’s visit?

Don’t think Gong Tao is someone soft before the Gong family, but when dealing with outsiders, he certainly doesn’t go easy.

More importantly, Gong Tao hasn’t been in a good mood lately, and those people just happened to run into him now—can they still expect good days ahead?

"Those people need to be well-educated," Gong Tao couldn’t believe that despite having been ’educated youth’ in the village for so many years, not a single person pleaded for them.

Really not a friendly crowd.

"Why would anyone in the village plead on their behalf when they usually show up but don’t work during labor?"

"Then complain non-stop during food distribution, saying the village constantly mistreats them."

Cai Ming had spent quite some time there and had befriended villagers, learning a bit about Tong Juan and the others, "They even took the matter to the commune."

Uh, even dragged it to the commune—and Gong Ruini had to concede, these people were something else. One should know that typically, when mixed in a village, things wouldn’t be handled so definitively.

Even if the commune supports you this time, will it do so in the future?

Living at the hands of those in the village is indeed long-lasting; even a fool knows how to choose, "Truly clever people."

They were just too clever, which led to the most serious mistake.
