Edited by Lulu
Tong Jiaming went straight ho to take care of Tong Mianmian after he had made the call.
Seeing the two back ho, he could no longer keep calm like his usual self. He asked them nervously, “How did it go? Was she arrested?”Tong Jiaxin’s eyes rounded, and he excitedly recounted the story with so embellishnts.He did not forget to cover up Tong Mianmian’s ears, so she couldn’t hear him.Tong Mianmian pouted so much that one could hook pork from her lips.While the children talked, Tong Xuelu went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.Tong Jiaming had already cooked the rice and prepared vegetables and spices. All she needed to do was to fry.Early this morning, she had Tong Jiaming go to the CSMC to get pork belly, which she had retrieved from the well for dinner.After rinsing the at out, she boiled it in so cold water with ginger, green onion, and Sichuan peppercorn. She then pulled the pork out of the water and sliced it thinly when it was 80% cooked.Now, twice-cooked pork was a big challenge for one’s knife work. Too thin and it could fall apart; too thick and it won’t have the right consistency.But knife work was no problem for Tong Xuelu. All of her slices ca out with the sa thickness.When the twice-cooked pork was ready, she quickly stir-fried a garlic vegetable dish. With that, dinner was ready.Tong Jiaxin had long since finished telling the story. He ran over madly when he slled the aroma coming from the kitchen. Seeing the twice-cooked pork, his eyes beca brighter than the light bulb above his head.He picked a piece up stealthily with his fingers and hurriedly put it inside his mouth. The shaking piece of fatty at lted almost instantly in his mouth. The non-fatty part of the at was tasty and had the perfect texture. The taste of bean paste and green peppers spread through his mouth, having both savory and spicy flavors.Yummy!It was incredibly yummy!He picked up the plate of twice-cooked pork and ran inside the living room. “Ti for dinner! We have twice-cooked pork today!”He was expelled from school, but if that ant he could have yummy food like this every day, so what if he was expelled?Days were like heaven to him right now compared to the ti when they were living in the compound.How could he have said such stupid things like he didn’t want to move before?As they had taken care of the issue called Ma i, the Tong family enjoyed their at tonight thoroughly with satisfied looks on their faces.***The matters concerning Ma i spread quickly. The rate at which the words spread had exceeded Tong Xuelu’s expectations.She had even planned to add fuel to the fire secretly, if necessary. Turns out, she didn’t need to do anything after all.Words about Ma i having an affair spread to school quickly. Even teachers at school were shocked.Ma i was ill-tempered, but they hadn’t expected her to commit such a shaless act.“You sure can’t judge a book by its cover. I would never have thought that Teacher Ma was this kind of a person!”“How can you still refer to her as Teacher Ma? Calling a shaless person in an affair a teacher is an insult to the word!”“I heard that her husband is seeking a divorce.”“How can he not? He caught her red-handed. What kind of man would be okay with that?”Everyone was shocked, and nobody would speak up for Ma i.The school reacted quickly after Ma i’s incident – her teacher qualification was canceled.At the sa ti, much as Tong Xuelu had expected, Director Jiang, Jiang Ming’s grandfather, said that the Jiang family were just cousins of Ma i and that the cops should do their job and pursue the matter to the fullest extent of the law!Ma i’s husband felt that he had been cheated on and decided to divorce Ma i before the verdict.Duan Wanfu’s wife returned to the capital city and also chose to have a divorce. In addition, she took Duan Wanfu’s job from him and was able to move back into the city.Ma i and Duan Wanfu’s incident had such reaching consequences that everybody was talking about it.For the sake of improving morale, the two were dragged to a square or denunciation rally.Tong Xuelu brought Tong Jiaming and the others to witness it after she had learned about it.
