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

They were going to call her parents again, but Qiaoqiao didn't want to, so she stood in front of He Yuan and cried.

"Yang Qiao, marrying a disabled person is not a shameful thing, why do you need to hide it?"

He Yuan's attitude changed completely.

She liked Qiaoqiao because she liked Qiaoqiao's innocence and her brother.

He Yuan detests the behavior of concealing one's marriage and pretending to be an unmarried girl.

"He is not disabled, he is the greatest hero."

Qiaoqiao cried even more; she hated it when people said Wenhui was disabled.

"Fine, fine, call your brother and tell him to come over. You beat Wu Dan so badly she ended up in the hospital; you need to give an explanation. This time, I don't know how the principal will deal with you; I can't protect you even if I wanted to."

"I won't fight. If you want to fire me, then fire me."

Qiaoqiao stood there stubbornly, like a warrior ready to die.

"If you don't call, I'll just call the police. If the police come to your house, things won't look good," He Yuan said with a dark face.

Taking this to the police station doesn't seem like a good idea.

It was lunchtime. I wondered if Wenhui was in the office or not. He was probably taking a nap at the newspaper office's little apartment.

The call went through, but no one answered.

I called home again, and Yu Fu answered.

"Sister-in-law, is something the matter?"

Is Wenhui home?

As soon as she said that, tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? What happened? Don't cry." Yu Fu asked anxiously.

Qiaoqiao was too upset to speak. A stern voice came from the phone: "Yu Fu, what happened?"

It's my father-in-law, he's back.

"Qiaoqiao, what's wrong? Tell me the truth."

Zhou Zhonghai is dignified and serious, which can frighten others, but makes Qiaoqiao feel safe.

"Dad, I got into a fight at school. My classmates were talking about me, saying I sold myself to Wenhui. I was so angry that I smashed her head open..."

Sobbing as he spoke, Zhou Zhonghai wished he could run over from the phone line to support Yang Qiao.

"Don't cry. You're a soldier's daughter-in-law; you don't cry, you bleed. Wait for me, I'll be right there."

After saying that, the phone slammed down.

In the principal's office, He Yuan and Yang Qiao waited quietly for the parents to come and resolve the issue.

"Yang Qiao, I know your husband Zhou Wenhui. He is educated and cultured. He came to my house to beg for help, and I agreed to make an exception and accept you."

Yao Kaiping said calmly, while He Yuan stared at Yang Qiao with wide eyes: "Zhou Wenhui is your husband?"

Qiaoqiao lowered her head even further.

He Yuan angrily turned his head away, not wanting to look at Qiaoqiao again.

"I admire Zhou Wenhui's talent and his spirit of defending his country, which is why I agreed to admit you. But how could you cause trouble and fight at school?"

"Principal, I, Wu Dan, called Zhou Wenhui disabled. He had legs, but he stayed on the battlefield, in peacetime. I was indeed a little short of getting into Huailin University, but I got in through my own hard work and talent. Why do you have to be so sarcastic?"

Qiaoqiao disliked Yao Kaiping's lecturing manner.

I am grateful for your exceptional admission, but I cannot use it as a pretext for you to ridicule me.

Less than half an hour later, a middle-aged man with a confident stride appeared at the principal's office door, followed by a sleazy old man. He was none other than Fu Sanjun, the newly appointed Party Secretary of Huailin City.

Zhou Zhonghai extended his hand and asked, "Are you the principal?"

Yao Kaiping was stunned by the powerful aura and quickly stood up: "Yes, Yao Kaiping, hello."

Zhou Zhonghai then looked at He Yuan and asked, "And you are?"

"I am Yang Qiao's homeroom teacher."

"Hello, hello, do universities also have class advisors?"

Then, Zhou Zhonghai said magnanimously, "Please sit down, please sit down."

Hey, this is the principal's office. How come you've become the owner?

Zhou Zhonghai sat down next to Qiaoqiao, and Fu Sanjun greeted her obsequiously, "Hello, Yang Qiao."

Qiaoqiao suddenly stood up and said awkwardly, "Secretary, what brings you here... to see me make a fool of myself."

Zhou Zhonghai laughed heartily: "He went to visit Dad, but when he learned that you had an accident at school, he insisted on coming along. Qiaoqiao, what happened?"

The principal and the homeroom teacher were completely ignored.

"Dad, isn't there a female educated youth in Liushan Commune who said I married Wenhui to climb the social ladder and was sentenced to two years in prison?"

Zhou Zhonghai's eyes darted around, and he looked at Fu Sanjun: "Two years in prison?"

Fu Sanjun nodded and said, "Yes. However, she wasn't sentenced for defaming a hero, she was charged with hooliganism."

"Oh, I see. Her name should be... Wu Xia, right?"

"Yes, yes..." Fu Sanjun bowed and scraped.

Zhou Zhonghai looked at the principal seriously and said, "Principal, this educated youth named Wu Xia slandered heroes, which is a minor matter. She had an affair with the brigade leader and was caught and sentenced to two years in prison for hooliganism. It has nothing to do with my Qiaoqiao."

"A romantic relationship? Wu Dan's sister?"

Upon hearing this, He Yuan's face softened, and he even became somewhat excited. It turned out that history teachers also enjoyed listening to gossip.

Fu Sanjun chimed in, "Principal, this matter can be investigated. I handled it, and Wu Xia should still be in prison."

Yao Kaiping was getting a little nervous; these two people seemed to be quite influential.

Regardless of their background, as the principal, one should be fair and impartial.

He coughed and said, "The reason I invited the parents here today is not to discuss how Wu Xia ended up in prison, but because Yang Qiao beat someone up so badly they had to go to the hospital."

Zhou Zhonghai scratched his head and asked gently, "Qiaoqiao, really?"

Qiaoqiao burst into tears: "It was Wu Dan. In front of the whole school, she said that I sold myself to Wenhui to climb the social ladder, and that her sister was framed and sentenced to two years for just telling the truth. Dad, I didn't know anything about this, and my parents aren't like that. Why did she humiliate me like that?"

Zhou Zhonghai habitually slammed his fist on the coffee table in front of him, startling Yao Kaiping and He Yuan.

"Well done! It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them. People who spread rumors should not be tolerated."

"Dad...the school is going to expel me..." Yang Qiao cried, and Zhou Zhonghai felt heartbroken.

Wenhui is a soldier, Luo Meiyun is a soldier, and Zhou Xiaowei is a little devil. None of them would cry so delicately. Only Qiaoqiao cried sobbing, breaking her old father's heart.

"No way, Principal Yao was just trying to scare you, right, Principal Yao?"

Yao Kaiping has a headache. He called the parents to resolve the fight, not for you to comfort the child.

"Which hospital is the student who was beaten in?" Fu Sanjun asked in a somber tone.

"The First Municipal Hospital," He Yuan quickly replied.

"Principal Yao, homeroom teacher, I'll handle this. Please don't make things difficult for the child."

"This..." He Yuan looked at Yao Kaiping.

"This is an internal school matter; it's not appropriate for outsiders to get involved, is it?"

Yao Kaiping was a little unhappy. Wasn't this overstepping his bounds?

"Oh, really? Principal Yao, is the municipal party secretary also an outsider?" Fu Sanjun said unhurriedly.

"You, you are the newly appointed Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee? No, the Secretary..." Yao Kaiping stammered.

"I've only just taken office and I've already encountered such a big problem. I will handle it personally. Don't scare the child in the future; let her study hard."

Fu Sanjun was obsequious to Zhou Zhonghai, but incredibly sharp-tongued to the principal.

Isn't this just a fight between girls at school? How did it become such a big deal?

Yao Kaiping quickly stood up, put on a smiling face, and said, "Secretary, you are very busy. I can handle this small matter."

"If you can handle it, why do you keep calling your parents?" Zhou Zhonghai said coldly.

"I... I won't do it again, I definitely won't."

Even the municipal party secretary had to be subservient to this imposing man; his position was definitely higher than that of the municipal party secretary.
