I was married off to a disabled hero in lieu of marriage; my in-laws doted on me and I aspired to gr

The next day, Qiaoqiao rode her blue bicycle, feeling the chill of early spring, humming "The sun shines, the birds sing..." and happily went to school.

As expected, the first class was a class meeting.

As expected, Qiaoqiao should reflect on her actions.

Qiaoqiao dressed up specially today, wearing a new red cotton-padded jacket made by her mother, woolen straight-leg pants bought by her mother-in-law, black leather shoes given to her by Wenhui, and applying fragrant face cream.

Holding ten brand-new ten-yuan bills in her hand and clutching the self-criticism letter Zhou Wenhui had written for her, Qiaoqiao confidently stepped onto the podium.

Qiaoqiao respectfully handed the hundred yuan to He Yuan with both hands, and then bowed to the fifty-odd classmates.

After finishing, she calmly opened the letter of apology and said in a loud voice: "Dear teachers and classmates, hello everyone, my name is Yang Qiao. Yesterday, I got into a fight with classmate Wu Dan and accidentally injured her. I have deeply realized my mistake and today I solemnly apologize to classmate Wu Dan."

Wu Dan was beaming with pride, while Wang Min frowned deeply.

"Yesterday, the conflict between me and my classmate Wu Dan was caused by my classmate Wang Min. All the fault lies with my classmate Wang Min."

Yesterday, Wu Dan looked down on Wang Min, saying that at 32 years old, she was still trying to take the college entrance exam and join in the fun, which was simply shameful. At the same time, Wu Dan thought that if Wang Min were any more attractive, she would have already seduced the commune leaders and been recommended to go to university.

I overheard this and was very indignant, so I discussed it with Wu Dan. In the end, Wu Dan grabbed my hair, so I picked up a stool and hit her with it. Once again, I felt ashamed and regretful for my actions.

I shouldn't question Wu Dan. In this era where success depends on ability, we should learn from Wu Dan and use our looks to rise to the top and make the most of our youth.

At the same time, I would also like to ask Wu Dan, did you get into university based on your looks or your grades?

The classroom erupted in commotion. Wu Dan, her face flushed, pointed at Qiaoqiao and shouted, "You, you've slandered me..."

He Yuan called out at the opportune moment, "Quiet, quiet..."

The boys chuckled softly, while the girls scoffed. Qiaoqiao continued reading her prepared speech: "Wu Dan, if you got into university because of your looks, then you've put your talents to good use. But if you got in based on your abilities, it's a real waste of your beauty."

The government has introduced policies to select talent regardless of age or social background. Wang Min, relying on her solid knowledge, was admitted to university at the age of thirty-two, which I greatly admire. If everyone resorts to dishonest means to get into university, what is the point of university?

Are we supposed to be assigned to important positions after graduation, just to flaunt our beauty and charm? We're studying history, and history tells us that things gained through femininity are never lasting.

For example, Daji, who spread seductive rumors and was universally condemned. For example, Yang Guifei, who hanged herself at Mawei Slope. For example, Zhao Feiyan, who was demoted to commoner status and committed suicide.

Wu Dan, I hit you. I was wrong, but my intention was good. I wanted you to establish correct values. Whether you are a man or a woman, you must rely on virtue to stand in society.

Wu Dan, I was wrong. I overestimated my abilities, thinking I could correct your flawed thinking. As it turns out, I'm powerless. I've paid a heavy price for this: one hundred yuan—half a year's worth of our food expenses! Of course, I'm willing to accept all your demands…”

This is hardly a letter of self-criticism; it's practically telling everyone that Wu Dan is shameless, got into university by relying on her looks, and even extorted large sums of money from her classmates. She's morally corrupt.

The students laughed and gossiped, but Wu Dan was furious. She stood up and retorted, "Teacher, Yang Qiao isn't sincerely apologizing. She's making sarcastic remarks about me. I... I'm going to report her..."

"Wu Dan, where did I go wrong? I've already sincerely apologized, but you're still being unreasonable."

Qiaoqiao wasn't afraid at all. Zhou Wenhui wrote the apology letter, and he would clean up the mess after the incident.

"Wu Dan, did you get in through the exam, or was you recommended by the brigade?"

"Wu Dan, I don't think you're as pretty as Wang Min, but you do have a bit of a vixen-like charm."

"Teacher, I suggest checking Wu Dan's college entrance examination scores. This kind of scoundrel should not be in a university."

"We must sue! We'll all go to the head of student affairs. If they extort money from Yang Qiao today, they'll extort money from us tomorrow."

"Yes, what if she climbs into my bed herself? How would I explain that?"

It's a pity that Zhou Wenhui could only read half of his thousand-word self-criticism before he couldn't continue.

The students were indignant and insisted on going to the head of the teaching department to deal with the matter. Wu Dan was so angry that she ran out of the classroom in tears.

He Yuan stood beside Qiaoqiao and asked in a low voice, "Did your brother write your letter of self-criticism?"

"Teacher...how did you know?"

"Hmph, otherwise why would I be a teacher? You have some talent, go down, stop reading."

He Yuanchun was infatuated with Yang Qiao's brother, who was not only handsome but also talented, and even used the name of Yang Guifei.

"Thank you, Teacher He."

Qiaoqiao happily stepped off the stage and sat down next to Wang Min. Wang Min gave her a thumbs up: "You're really something, you can write a self-criticism like this."

Haha, what can you do when you have a husband who dotes on his wife? How could he bear to let his wife suffer in silence?

Because of a letter of self-criticism, Wu Dan became an overnight sensation in the school. Most people thought she would be ashamed and drop out of school, but to everyone's surprise, she came to school the very next day.

As the saying goes, "A shameless person is invincible."

Wu Dan was not ashamed at all; instead, she declared that she and Yang Qiao were irreconcilable enemies and that she would fight Yang Qiao to the end.

Qiaoqiao scoffed at this, saying, "Let's fight if you want. At worst, I'll smash her again."

Of course, Wu Dan was stubborn, but she didn't dare to confront Qiaoqiao directly, and instead deliberately avoided her.

With Wu Dan's matter temporarily settled, Teacher He Yuan started pestering Yang Qiao again, chatting with her whenever he had free time and even bringing her snacks to please her.

Qiaoqiao knew exactly what was going on and said directly to Teacher He, "Teacher He, my brother is already married."

"Married? He doesn't look that old."

"He's 31 years old. If he's still not married at that age, he must have some physical or mental problems."

Teacher He was clearly disappointed, but still asked, "What does your sister-in-law do for a living? What kind of person is she?"

"My sister-in-law is a middle school teacher. She is gentle, beautiful, smart and capable. She and my brother are very much in love and have a harmonious marriage. Oh, and they also have a chubby little boy who will be one year old soon."

Qiaoqiao subtly praised herself.

He Yuan was completely heartbroken and murmured, "Your sister-in-law is truly blessed."

"Teacher He, isn't my brother just lucky? How did he manage to marry such a virtuous wife?"

"Yes, yes, Yang Qiao, you and Wu Dan can't be friends, but you shouldn't be enemies either. Just try to avoid contact with her in the future. If she bullies you, come and tell the teacher."

He Yuan quickly changed the subject. Because he loved Zhou Wenhui, even though Zhou Wenhui was married, He Yuan still couldn't let go of him and transferred that love to Qiaoqiao.

Qiaoqiao told Zhou Wenhui about the incident in detail, and at the same time criticized and educated him: "You are so refined and handsome, you can't just smile at girls casually, let alone try to please them, otherwise the girls will misunderstand that you are seducing them. Men are trouble, they really make me uneasy."

Zhou Wenhui was completely bewildered by the lecture, while Luo Meiyun and Hu Xiaomei laughed so hard they were doubled over. Qiaoqiao was jealous... What's so strange about being jealous? Qiaoqiao had been living in a vinegar jar ever since she entered the Zhou family.
