Li Jinhua was stunned and only afterwards did she realize that she had been tricked by Li Qiao again.
Like a mute person who has tasted bitter herbs, she had misery but couldn't speak of it.
She expressed it by crying.
The commotion alerted the school teachers, who came over to separate Li Shengcai and Dong Lamei; after understanding what had occurred, everyone criticized Li Jinhua's behavior.
No wonder Li Qiao was unwilling to tutor her; it was utterly disgraceful.
After chastising Li Jinhua, Dong Lamei and Li Shengcai tried to ingratiate themselves with Li Qiao.
Li Qiao said nothing, the commotion being enacted for the benefit of others.
Perhaps they were worried that if they didn't show up, Old Mrs. Qin would tell her about it, and that would upset her?
The teachers used the excuse of resuming class to expel the two of them.
That marked the end of the whole fiasco.
