Jiang Yue'er glanced at Zhao Xiaomai, taking in her expression, and then a friendly smile appeared on her face.

"Wheat, how have you been? I've come to see you!"

When Zhao Xiaomai saw Jiang Yue'er, she was reminded of the past events that happened at school, and her voice trembled as she spoke.

"What...what exactly do you want to do?"

Jiang Yue'er looked apologetic. "Xiaomai, I came here today specifically to apologize to you. I only heard yesterday that Wang Zhi and the others thought you bullied me, and cut your hair to avenge me. I really didn't know that at the time. I'm sorry!"

When Zhao Xiaomai recalled the humiliation of having her hair cut off and being spat on by those people, her eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, and she became extremely irritable.

"You...you get out, get out!"

Zhao Xiaomai's voice was shrill, and Jiang Yue'er's expression flashed with a hint of disgust. "Xiaomai, don't get agitated. I've come here sincerely to apologize. I really didn't know anything about those things!"

Zhao Xiaomai was on the verge of a breakdown. The mocking and disdainful looks in those people's eyes, and the smugness in Jiang Yue'er's eyes kept flashing through her mind.

"I don't want your fake apology, get out! Get out!"

At this moment, the people inside the house also heard the commotion and came out to see Zhao Xiaomai on the verge of collapse.

Over the past year, Zhao Xiaomai has become very reluctant to interact with outsiders because of what happened at school. The once bright and sunny girl has become easily startled and sensitive.

Even a stranger's unintentional glance at her can trigger an emotional breakdown, causing her to cry and scream.

Originally, Zhao Xiaomai was a warm-hearted and kind girl. She was beautiful and had a pleasing way of speaking, and everyone liked her. But for some reason, one day her most beloved hair was cut off.

She returned home disheveled and exhausted. When her family asked her questions, she wouldn't say anything, just lay blankly on the bed without uttering a word.

Later, it was Zhao's mother who contacted her classmate, and the girl secretly told her that Zhao Xiaomai was bullied and ostracized by Jiang Yue'er because she couldn't stand seeing a classmate being ostracized and bullied.

She angrily uttered a few words in defense of others, but someone overheard her and heard them. Jiang Yue'er felt wronged, but she didn't say anything and forced a smile. Anyone who saw her could tell that something was wrong.

This angered Wang Zhi and a group of boys. Later, they found out that Zhao Xiaomai had spoken ill of Jiang Yue'er behind her back, which made her sad and upset.

From then on, Zhao Xiaomai began a life of being bullied at school.

The person who bullied her was Wang Zhi. Everyone knew Wang Zhi's background, but she didn't dare tell her family because she was worried that her father would lose his job. Their family's livelihood depended on her father, so she could only silently endure it.

At first it was alright, at most some pranks, but the bullying escalated until her hair was cut off and she was spat on and humiliated. She could no longer bear it and broke down.

Zhao Xiaomai's father was an ordinary worker, and her mother was unemployed. The family lived a very frugal life. When Zhao Xiaomai encountered such a situation, even though she wanted to seek justice, she did not dare to offend the deputy director of the commune because she had two younger siblings who were around ten years old to support.

In the end, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao could only swallow their anger silently.

Later, when Wang Zhi's family got into trouble, Zhao's parents finally got their revenge. But Zhao Xiaomai was already in such a state that even if Wang Zhi received his retribution, it wouldn't make a difference.

Seeing Zhao Xiaomai's outburst, Zhao's mother rushed out and hugged her trembling daughter, saying, "My dear, it's alright, it's alright, Mom's here, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

With her mother's comforting words, Zhao Xiaomai gradually calmed down.

Looking at Zhao Xiaomai's condition, Jiang Yue'er cursed the original owner for being too ruthless, turning Zhao Xiaomai into a madwoman. How could she then rely on Zhao Xiaomai to get close to Old Madam Su?

Zhao's mother took Zhao Xiaomai back to her room and stayed there until she fell asleep. Only then did Zhao's mother come out with an apologetic expression.

"Excuse me, comrade, may I ask who you are...?"

Jiang Yue'er handed the things to Zhao's mother and looked at her apologetically, "Auntie, I am Xiaomai's classmate. I heard about Xiaomai's ordeal yesterday, so I came here today to visit her."

Zhao's mother was so moved by the unexpected visit from someone that she was overwhelmed with gratitude and quickly took Jiang Yue'er's hand.

"Thank you, classmate. I never expected anyone would come to visit my little wheat!"

After finishing her sentence, Zhao's mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "To be honest, ever since everyone found out that my Xiaomai had a mental problem, they've all been avoiding her. Thank you for coming to see her!"

A hint of guilt flashed in Jiang Yue'er's eyes. "Auntie, don't be sad. Xiaomai is a strong girl. I believe she will get better!"

"Yes, that's what the doctor said too. She's just having a temporary mental breakdown, and she'll be fine once she understands. But it's been almost a year, and we...we..."

The more Zhao's mother spoke, the more heartbroken she became, and she kept babbling on and on.

Jiang Yue'er's eyes flashed with annoyance, but she still gently comforted Zhao's mother.

"Auntie, don't worry. Now that I know about Xiaomai's situation, I won't just stand by and do nothing. I'll come and comfort her often from now on, as long as you don't find me annoying!"

Zhao's mother was even more touched. "Not at all, we'd love for you to come visit us more often!"

Jiang Yue'er comforted Zhao's mother for a few words, but seeing that she was still talking incessantly about Zhao Xiaomai's situation, she made an excuse to leave the Zhao family.

I've already made myself known today, which will make it easier to visit in the future.

Watching Jiang Yue'er's departing figure, Zhao's mother turned around to go back to the house, but then seemed to remember something and slapped her thigh in frustration.

"Oh dear, what a forgetful thing I am! I completely forgot to ask that girl's name!" Then, remembering that Jiang Yue'er had said she would come to see Zhao Xiaomai again, Zhao's mother shook her head. "Never mind, I'll ask her name next time!"

Jiang Yue'er's every move was observed by Wen Li, who was hiding in the corner.

Back in the village, she found Li Xiangxiang. Upon hearing Zhao Xiaomai's name, a hint of regret flashed across Li Xiangxiang's face.

She told Wen Li about Zhao Xiaomai's situation. A look of disgust flashed across Wen Li's face. Just because of a few words of defending her, she had tormented a young girl who was like a flower bud into a "madwoman".

Jiang Yue'er and her sycophants really deserve to die!

Jiang Yue'er didn't do anything wrong; it was Wang Zhi and his group who did all the bad things. In the end, everyone will just think that Wang Zhi and his group went too far, and it will be Wang Zhi who gets condemned.

Jiang Yue'er remained completely innocent, after all, she knew nothing about this matter!

Wen Li felt terrible. "School bullying"—those were such heavy words!

There is no such thing as mental illness now, nor are there any psychologists. Zhao Xiaomai's situation is not very serious. In fact, with psychological intervention and medication, she can gradually recover.

Nowadays, even getting enough to eat is a problem, so who would spend money to treat this kind of "whining without illness"?

Wen Li learned about Zhao Xiaomai's situation from Li Xiangxiang, and of course she couldn't just stand by and watch Jiang Yue'er, the culprit, use Zhao Xiaomai to achieve her goals.

However, she was not Zhao Xiaomai's classmate and did not know her. If she went to her door rashly, she might be kicked out.
