Chapter 1169 Turning Point (10)
This kind of darkness is like a whirlpool, with an abyss that is so deep that one cannot see the bottom. If someone else takes a look at it, they will be so frightened that their whole body will shudder. But Aunt Liu seemed to be blind to it. She walked up to Old Lady Yuan and nodded respectfully to her. Old Lady Yuan then retracted her gaze, lowered her head, turned the Buddhist beads in her hands, and muttered something.
——
Shu Jie found out that Ruan Jiaojiao and Xu Xu did not come to class in the second class in the morning. She was worried about Xiao Yanyu's incident yesterday, so she went to find the head teacher of Class 1 in the second class.
Xiao Yanyu is seventeen years old this year. She has been smart since she was a child. She was promoted from a junior high school in a township. She has excellent grades and a poor family background. However, considering her good grades, the school also exempted her from some tuition fees.
When it first hit Ruan Jiaojiao, she was really scared. Her first reaction was to hide. Later, Yang Tiao ran up and argued with her. With the encouragement of Ruan Lei and others, she knew that she could not hide anymore and really admitted that the kettle was hers.
Her family is not well-off. She has an older brother who should have been in the third year of high school this year. However, because of the poor family conditions, even if the school helped to reduce part of her tuition and miscellaneous fees, it still could not afford to support her and her brother to study, so this year she was chosen to continue studying because of her better grades, while her brother dropped out of school and went south to work.
Although Xiao Yanyu's family is not well-off, she has been liked by her classmates and teachers since she was a child because of her good grades, so there is a sense of pride in her temperament.
She wanted to take responsibility when she saw that she couldn't avoid it, but later she learned from others that the Ruan family was very rich. She had also seen Ruan Jiaojiao, who dressed like a little princess. It was said that they were all big brands bought in Beijing. It was said that the pair of shoes on her feet was one or two months' salary for ordinary people.
The better kettles now cost seven or eight yuan, and the cheapest four or five yuan. Her parents are farmers and have no income. They can't earn hundreds of yuan a year, so the four or five yuan is not a small amount of money for her, not to mention the medical expenses of more than ten yuan.
After knowing that the Ruan family was so rich, she didn't want to pay it back.
She also knew that Ruan Jiaojiao had good grades and entered the school with the second highest score in the whole school.
She was the seventh, but she didn't think she was not as good as Ruan Jiaojiao. She felt that the reason why Ruan Jiaojiao could only rank third was because she had a good family background and Shu Jie was teaching her at home, so she ranked ahead of her.
She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
It was as if she should have been the best, but someone ranked ahead of her because of a little money, which made her very unconvinced.
She was always smart and knew the power of rumors, so she deliberately cried in front of her roommates and classmates that night, implying that although the kettle was not expensive and the medical expenses were not much, it was her family's living expenses for a month, and the Ruan family was so rich, could they allow her to pay it back slowly over a few months... Sure enough, the school soon spread rumors that the Ruan family should not care about her.
She thought that with Teacher Shu Jie's reputation, she would be magnanimous enough to say no. So on the third day, she did not go to Ruan Jiaojiao to apologize and pay compensation, and when other members of the Ruan family did not come to find her, she thought her plan had succeeded and was very happy. However, she had no idea that Shu Jie would be so shameless and come directly to her with her head teacher.
