It’s not just my daughter who has been wronged!
After the incident with Tiantian, Teacher Jiang insisted on reporting the matter to higher authorities to expose the truth. On the day before she was set to leave, Jia Huairen sent people to her home to detain her and had her committed to a mental hospital, claiming it was for treatment of bedsores! The elderly woman in front of me was indignant and argued with them for a moment before being “diagnosed” with schizophrenia and also locked away in the mental hospital. However, as her health deteriorated after admission, those people feared something might happen and sent her back…
The old woman trembled as she handed me a small SD card: “My granddaughter Qiu Ying said you would definitely come looking for this.”
The card contained recordings, surveillance videos, and photos…
“As Tiantian’s mother, I have the final say in this matter! You need to know your place!” Jiang Xiaoli shouted, pointing at Teacher Jiang’s nose.
A group of self-righteous individuals held a vote at the education office to determine whether the harm done to my daughter constituted bullying! Who did they represent? Could they represent the law? Jiang Xiaoli was in charge of the voting, and before it began, she gave a heads-up: “Colleagues, strictly speaking, this is our family matter, so I hope we don’t escalate things…”
Another video showed Teacher Jiang being forcibly taken away from her home along with her mother-in-law: “The village allocated special funds for you to receive paid medical treatment; you should prioritize the greater good and be grateful…” said Jia Huairen, who had a large belly.
During self-study class in the classroom, Jia Tiantian handed a beautifully wrapped box to Tiantian: “I used to be in the wrong; I shouldn’t have pricked you with a needle! I sincerely apologize and want to give you a gift; please accept it!”
“I accept your apology, but there’s no need for the gift!” Tiantian pushed the box back.
“No, please make sure you accept it.” A cunning and sinister glint flashed in Jia Tiantian's eyes.
Seeing that Tiantian refused to take it, he unwrapped the box layer by layer and pushed it in front of her: “You can at least look at it!”
Tiantian couldn’t resist his persistent insistence; just as she turned her head toward the box, she let out a scream and jumped up with a pale face.
—A snake slithered out from under the lid, flicking its tongue!
Tiantian rolled her eyes back and collapsed, never making another sound.
Jia Tiantian grinned maliciously: “After my dad slapped me twice, how could I possibly let you off? Bah!”
The classroom erupted into chaos as Teacher Jiang rushed in and lunged toward Tiantian…
Suppressing my anger, I sent out the relevant materials.
At the same time, I filed a formal complaint with the county authorities.
Jiang Xiaoli came looking for me: “I admit I may have made some mistakes regarding my daughter’s situation, but now that it has come to this point, I hope you can see the situation clearly. They say a true hero doesn’t dwell on past glories; right now you are nothing, while Old Jia is an actual Deputy Township Head who has worked here for many years… Your complaint copies have already reached him…”
“Is this your opinion or his?”
“Does it make a difference?”
“True enough; you two are one and the same!” I teased. “But how can you be so sure he’s been demoted?”
"Cut it out, do you even have a position? Do you have an appointment? I would believe you if you said you were demoted, but right now, you're nothing!"
"Take care, I'm not seeing you off. I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I will seek justice for my daughter! No matter who he is, whoever harmed my daughter will pay the price!"
The county held a meeting for the County Education System, attended by leaders from various towns and principals from primary and secondary schools.
"What are you doing here?" Jia Huairen said with an air of superiority.
"Isn't Deputy Township Head Jia overstepping his bounds a bit?"
"You filed a complaint and reported me... look at me, I'm still doing just fine," he said with a smug smile.
"Is that so? I hope you can keep smiling until the end!" I replied coldly.
"Tian Tian had an incident, and as her stepfather, I feel ashamed for not fulfilling my duty to protect her... But many things should be looked at in the long run; let the past be the past, don't you think?"
"To forget means to betray!" I shot him a glance and turned towards the podium.
The person from the education department who had received my complaint seemed to want to explain something but ultimately didn't dare approach me. The officer who had handled my case was wiping sweat from his brow.
After shaking hands with everyone, I was led to the center of the podium.
When I saw the disciplinary inspection personnel enter wearing solemn badges, the atmosphere in the room immediately became oppressive and tense.
My current identity is a key member of the Disciplinary Inspection responsible for the Education and Health Department in Jiangbei Province, overseeing this county.
Some schools forced or indirectly coerced students into buying overpriced uniforms and milk; others served students low-quality or even spoiled food for profit; some schools had long-standing issues with bullying and management negligence...
For example, while uniforms should be purchased voluntarily, some schools wouldn't allow students to participate in group activities if they didn't buy them; if students didn't order milk through the school, they would face discrimination; students were made to eat frozen meat, minced meat, and noodles thickened with additives while being forced to buy overpriced low-quality goods from campus stores...
They truly resorted to any means necessary.
The incident involving Teacher Jiang being forcibly sent to a psychiatric hospital became a typical case that I handled, earning me high praise from senior leadership!
Jia Huairen had controlled education in the township for many years, with involved funds amounting to hundreds of thousands!
When he was taken away on-site, he looked like he had lost everything.
Subsequently, relevant departments arrested his son and his gang!
When Jiang Xiaoli called me, I was at Teacher Jiang's house, representing both the organization and myself to express condolences and gratitude!
The old lady had been discharged from the hospital and was praising me endlessly, saying, "Xiao Hu, if it weren't for you, this old woman might not be here..."
"Grandma, I broke your door; as long as you don't blame me, that's enough," I replied.
Laughter filled the air around us.
Then, Jiang Xiaoli called, likely to plead for leniency for the father and son surnamed Jia. Personally, I would love to see them both gone, but on a public level, they should be judged by the law. So there was no need to answer that call.
Just as I hung up, my phone rang again. It was Sweet's doctor: "Mr. Hu, your daughter..."
After hearing his words, everything went dark before my eyes, and a ringing filled my ears. I collapsed without knowing anything.
"Teacher Jiang, my dad is just timid!"
"That's nonsense; it's not timidity—it's concern for you and love. If anything were to happen to you, it would probably take his life."
"It's all my fault for not speaking clearly."
These voices were so familiar to me.
After lying unconscious for over ten days, my Sweet finally woke up. The doctor called me immediately, but being from the south, he muddled the words "awake" and "dead"…
My work received strong recognition from my superiors, and I regained custody of my daughter.
Jiang Xiaoli was in a state of despair; first crying, then causing a scene, and finally begging me to consider remarrying him.
Before I could say anything, Sweet quickly rejected the idea on my behalf: "Teacher Jiang and my dad are quite suitable together; I agree, Grandma agrees... Your family’s Old Jia will only get three to five years; just wait a bit longer; it will all pass soon."
I thought my daughter's "arrangement" was quite good.
(The End)
