Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Fang Xinyou immediately cried with a wronged expression, "I didn't, whether you believe me or not, I really didn't."

She knew that as long as she refused to admit it, they couldn't do anything to her.

She had tried this method many times before and had never been caught off guard.

Because at that time, there would be people who would speak up for her, and even if she was suspected, she wouldn't be afraid as long as the other party had no evidence.

But this time, she encountered Jiang Yan.

People in the compound used to know that Fang Xinyou was Commander Tan's daughter, so they all gave her face.

Things are different now. Commander Tan has been transferred to the border defense forces, and Fang Xinyou has no one backing her up.

Unlike Yun Shu and Yun Yao, Yun Shu's great-grandfather was a senior officer in the military compound.

Anyone with a brain knows who they should try to please.

"Fang Xinyou, just admit it. This isn't the first time you've done something like this. You've been staring at Huo Yunshu and Huo Yunyao ever since."

At this moment, someone spoke up for Yun Shu and Yun Yao.

"That's right, I saw it too. You were the only one standing behind Huo Yunshu just now, so it must have been you who did it."

"I can also testify that you said yesterday that you were jealous of Huo Yunshu and Huo Yunyao for having new clothes and delicious snacks."

"Jiang Yan has already found the knife hidden in your pocket. Even if you don't admit it, it doesn't matter. Everyone knows what's going on."

Those who spoke were previously on good terms with Fang Xinyou, and at this moment they all unanimously chose to speak up for Yun Shu.

"You...you...you are clearly my friends, why are you helping them and not speaking up for me?" Fang Xinyou was furious when she heard their words.

She couldn't believe that these people, who used to fawn over her, were now speaking up for others.

What she didn't know was that the reason these people had fawned over her before was because of Commander Tan.

Now that she has lost her status as the daughter of a teacher, how could anyone possibly still go along with her?

Fang Xinyou hadn't treated them well before, and they'd long disliked her. Now that they finally had this opportunity, how could they possibly let her go?

"So it was you! You're the one who tore my sister's clothes. You have to pay for it!" Yun Yao shouted, pointing at Fang Xinyou.

If it were just ordinary clothes, you could just buy one at a department store, but these were bought from overseas. No matter how rich you are, it won't help.

Putting aside everything else, this price is not something that an average family can afford.

Peng Shao is a future business tycoon; he's not short of money at all. Plus, with his doting on Yun Shu and Yun Yao, the clothes he buys for them are definitely not cheap.

These two pieces of clothing alone cost five or six hundred yuan, which is almost equivalent to a year's salary for an average person.

Upon learning the price, Fang Xinyou was completely stunned.

Her face showed panic and fear. If she hadn't been discovered, it wouldn't have been a problem, but now that she had been caught red-handed, this was a big deal.

She couldn't possibly afford to pay compensation with just one child, so she had no choice but to seek compensation from Fang Ting.

The thought of Fang Ting filled Fang Xinyou with fear.

Her arm and body injuries haven't healed yet, and if they find out she's caused trouble again, they'll definitely beat her to death.

At this point, she could only place her last hope on Jiang Yan, so she went over and apologized tearfully, "Jiang Yan, I'm sorry, I apologize to your sister. I really didn't want to do this. I will find a way to make it up to you. Please, please don't tell my aunt. She will beat me to death if she finds out."

Fang Xinyou was once so arrogant in the compound, but now she is just as humble and pitiful.

But there's always a reason why someone is pitiful. Jiang Yan looked at her with his eyes open, his face devoid of any other expression.

"This has nothing to do with us. If you damage someone else's property, you have to pay for it. If you can't afford it, then you can only contact your guardian."

Jiang Yan coldly uttered these words and walked over to Yun Shu, reaching out to wipe the tears from her face.

He held his younger sister's hand with both hands and walked towards home.

He originally planned to take Yun Shu to find Fang Ting himself, but he was still a child, and what he said wouldn't be taken seriously.

But if you go to find them gently, this matter will definitely escalate.

He wanted to make a big scene; anyone who dared to bully Jiang Yan's sister would have to pay the price.

After Yun Shu learned that Fang Xinyou had deliberately torn her clothes, she felt less guilty, but she was still heartbroken.

This was her favorite piece of clothing, and now that it was torn, she was naturally upset.

Yun Yao also felt sorry for her sister, so after returning home, she went to her room, took off her clothes, and gave them to Yun Shu.

"Sister, you can wear mine."

They are twins, the same height and everything else, and they can swap clothes.

She liked the clothes herself, but she didn't value them as much as Yun Shu did.

Besides, she often plays on the playground, so even if she wears the most expensive clothes, they'll eventually get dirty.

So it's better to give the clothes to my older sister, that way she won't be sad anymore.

Upon hearing Yun Yao's voice, Yun Shu and Jiang Yan were both stunned.

"What will you wear?" Yun Shu asked, somewhat touched.

"I have other clothes, I can wear whatever I want. You forgot, I haven't even worn the new clothes that my second aunt bought for us last time."

Yun Yao comforted Yun Shu, hoping she would stop being sad.

Jiang Yan looked at Yun Yao with a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

Yun Yao was usually the most mischievous girl in the family, but he never expected that she would take the initiative to coax her older sister at this time.

It's truly rare to see someone so sensible.

At this moment, Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan returned one after the other. Upon seeing them, before Yun Shu could even speak, Yun Yao stepped forward to help her sister.

"Mom and Dad, Fang Xinyou tore my sister's clothes. We're going to her house right now and making her family pay for it."

Upon hearing Yun Yao's words, both Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan were taken aback.

They looked in Yun Shu's direction and saw that the eldest daughter's face was covered in tears, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked like a pitiful rabbit.

Wenrou knew that Yunshu was usually very emotionally stable, and even if she was wronged, she would keep it to herself, afraid that they would worry.

But this time, she was already crying so hard, she must have felt extremely wronged, and couldn't help but have her emotions explode.

The thought of this makes my tender heart ache.

She walked over, reached out and hugged Yun Shu, wiping away her tears.

She looked at the new clothes in her daughter's hand that had a tear in them, and her heart ached.

These clothes weren't cheap; Peng Shao bought them especially for the two sisters.

"Come on, Mom will get justice for you. If she doesn't compensate us today, we're not done with her."

Fang Ting just bought some meat and is planning to render some lard tonight to improve her diet.

After all, it's Chinese New Year, so no matter what, we have to eat better than usual.

When she got home, she called out to Fang Xinyou several times but didn't hear a response. She knew that Fang Xinyou must have gone out to play, and her face immediately darkened.

She had originally been counting on Fang Xinyou to help her, but now she had to do it all herself.

That brat, instead of staying home and doing chores, she runs off to play!

She thought she could go out and play without a care in the world, just like before, after eating and drinking her fill. She didn't even look at the current situation at home.

I'll beat her to death when she gets back.

Fang Ting was busy with her work, but she couldn't help but complain in her heart because she was so angry.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the sound, Fang Ting thought it was Fang Xinyou returning. She angrily stood up and went over, opening the door and yelling, "You brat! You finally know how to come back? All you do is play around all day! Why don't you just play yourself to death?"

When she opened the door, she was taken aback. Seeing Wenrou standing there, her expression changed, and she asked with a puzzled look, "What are you doing here?"

She and Wenrou didn't get along to begin with, and she knew that Wenrou coming to her at this time must mean something bad.

Fang Ting was also puzzled. Since her sister's accident, she had not offended Wenrou. Why was Wenrou coming here now? Was she deliberately looking for trouble?

Wenrou wouldn't have come here if it weren't for her daughter.

With a cold expression, she reached out and took the clothes from Yun Shu's hands, handing them to Fang Ting.

"My daughter's clothes were slashed by Fang Xinyou with a knife. You are her guardian, so how do you plan to compensate her?"

Fang Ting looked at Wenrou's expression as she did the accounting, and at the clothes that were handed to her, she was completely bewildered.

She touched the clothes in her hand and knew they must be expensive.

"How do I know if you're deliberately trying to cause trouble?" Fang Ting retorted after a moment of surprise.

Of course, she wouldn't be so easily manipulated by Wenrou, and without evidence, she wouldn't admit it.

Besides, she simply didn't have the money to pay compensation.

She had finally saved up some money that year and was thinking about going to the doctor and having a child of her own as soon as possible. How could she possibly give it to Wenrou?

"It's okay if you don't admit it, but many kids in the compound saw it. Fang Xinyou herself admitted to deliberately damaging other people's property, but she refuses to admit it or compensate. I wonder if this gets back to your husband's workplace, will it affect his future?"

Wenrou knew perfectly well what Fang Ting cared about most right now, and she had already prepared for Fang Ting to renege on her debt when she came.

Huang Xiaojun has now been transferred to the logistics department. If he is affected by this incident, he might even be fired.

He was originally able to be transferred to Beijing because of Commander Tan, but now that Commander Tan has run into trouble, his position has become very sensitive, so he should keep a low profile even more.

He is now very careful every time he goes to work, for fear that if he makes a mistake, he might be transferred somewhere.

Fang Ting knew this, of course, so when she heard Wenrou's words, her face immediately turned very ugly.

"Wenrou, don't go too far. Do you really want to drive us to our demise?"

She gently reached out and took her daughter's hand; as a mother, she certainly wouldn't back down at this moment.

She looked at Fang Ting with disdain and said, "Do you think I wanted to come here to find you? Fang Xinyou is bullying my daughter, and you are her guardian. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll have to go to your husband's workplace to demand an explanation."

At this time, the neighbors who had been watching the commotion gathered around, having also heard about what had happened that day.

Someone else chimed in, saying, "Xiaoting, I've heard about what happened today from my child. It was all Xinyou's doing. Since you're supporting her now, you should take responsibility."

"Yes, if you ask me, you should just pay them back."

"Xinyou is just too jealous. She can't stand seeing others wearing nice clothes when she doesn't have any herself. You'll have to give her a good talking to. Our children are all from military compounds, and this kind of behavior will inevitably make them a laughing stock."

Fang Ting originally intended to renege on her debt, but everyone around her was speaking up for Wenrou and the others. If she continued to argue, she would only be looked down upon.

Her face grew increasingly ugly, her hands clenched tightly, and she trembled with anger.

"I will teach her a lesson. Thank you for reminding me, sisters-in-law." Fang Ting said this almost through gritted teeth.

If Fang Xinyou were here now, she would probably take action immediately.

"How much is this dress? I'll pay for it." Having already said it, Fang Ting had no choice but to ask, forcing herself to be polite.

Gently looking down at her daughter, she said, "Just pay me two hundred yuan, and have Fang Xinyou apologize to my daughter. That will be the end of it. Otherwise, I'm not afraid of this getting to her school. I don't know what the consequences will be then."

"Two hundred? How can it be so expensive?" Fang Ting's eyes widened upon hearing this.

She was prepared and knew the dress wouldn't be cheap, but she didn't expect it to be this expensive.

She already thought 100 yuan was enough, but she didn't expect that a child's clothes would cost 200 yuan.

Someone nearby reminded Fang Ting, "That dress is imported from abroad, so it's definitely not cheap, but Xin You did it on purpose, so just accept it."

Fang Ting had originally planned to bargain with Wen Rou, but after hearing what the people around her said, she had no choice but to accept it.

She didn't want people to think she was stingy, unable to even come up with two hundred yuan, nor did she want to be looked down upon.

So she could only turn around and go back to her room, take out the money she had painstakingly saved from the money box, count out two hundred yuan, and clutch it tightly in her hand.

She walked to the door and reluctantly handed the money to Wenrou.

Wenrou reached out and took the money, counting it in front of everyone, as if afraid that Fang Ting would renege on the debt.

She only accepted the money after confirming it was two hundred yuan.

Seeing Wenrou put the money into her own pocket, Fang Ting felt her heart bleed.

She had saved up for more than half a year, and then she gave it away.

At this moment, Fang Xinyou also returned.

When Fang Ting saw her, she suppressed her anger and apologized to Yun Shu.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the others turned around and went back to their own homes.

When Fang Xinyou returned, she saw that Fang Ting's face was terribly cold.

"Auntie, I didn't mean to."

She was about to explain when Fang Ting slapped her hard across the face.

"You little bitch, I didn't raise you to cause myself trouble. That was two hundred yuan, which I saved up with great difficulty, and you just let me lose it all. I'll beat you to death today."

As Fang Ting spoke, she reached out and pinched Fang Xinyou.

Just as Wenrou left with Yunshu, they heard Fang Xinyou's screams coming from Fang Ting's house.
