Li Cuilian still wanted to deny it, but Lin Yin's eyes were too sharp, and she, an adult, was afraid to look directly into Lin Yin's eyes.

In her heart, Yuan Yi is indeed a rare good student, and so is Lin Yin.

Moreover, Li Cuilian felt that Lin Yin was smarter and more talented than Yuan Yi, so... it might be a bit difficult to hide it from Lin Yin.

Finally, Li Cuilian sighed and said, "Actually, I didn't intend to tell you and your classmates about this right now. Classmate Yuan Yi didn't let me tell anyone, especially you."

Lin Yin frowned: "Why did she drop out of school?"

Yuan Yi cares very much about studying, but now the final exam is about to come, and she makes such a decision at this critical juncture. There must be a reason behind it.

"Why else? Because of her grandmother." Li Cuilian sighed again, "That child has a miserable life too. Both her parents are gone, and she has to take care of the family at such a young age."

"Her grandmother's condition was well under control before, but for some reason it suddenly worsened. She was hospitalized for the past two days. Hospitalization costs a lot of money, and without some savings, you can't go in. The Yuan family doesn't have a man who earns money, and Yuan Yi has spent all her money saved for next semester's tuition and living expenses, but it still doesn't work. So she wants to drop out of school and work instead of continuing."

Yuan Yi had previously worked part-time in Lin Yin's small workshop, paid by the hour, so his salary was definitely less than that of a full-time worker.

In the past, Yuan Yi would have worked and studied at the same time, but now Mrs. Yuan's health is getting worse and worse. After spending so much money, the family is so poor that they can't even make ends meet. Yuan Yi really has no money and no intention to go to school.

So this choice was really a helpless one. For the sake of her grandmother, she could only drop out of school, find a job, and quickly make money to treat her grandmother's illness.

"..." Lin Yin was silent for a few seconds, then looked up at Li Cuilian: "Teacher Li, can you give me the address of Yuan Yi's home?"

………

Lin Yin knew that the Yuan family was poor, but she didn't expect them to be so poor.

The place where the Yuan family lives is very remote, basically a small corner of the village, with only a few families living nearby.

The Yuan family only had a small, dilapidated house, which looked shabby because of its age.

Apart from one room, there was not even a kitchen for cooking. There was just a rough shed built outside with a few thick tree trunks. This was the kitchen.

Lin Yin stood at the door and heard coughing from inside, followed by Yuan Yi's exclamation.

"grandmother!"

The bitter smell of Chinese medicine lingered in her nose. Next to Lin Yin was a casserole containing Chinese medicine.

Inside the house——

Old Mrs. Yuan coughed for a long time before she stopped. Yuan Yi, with red eyes, quickly brought the medicine aside.

"Grandma, you'll be fine after taking the medicine."

Old Mrs. Yuan nodded, as if she had become numb to the taste of Chinese medicine, and drank the whole bowl.

Yuan Yi hurried to the side to turn over the sugar cubes, but Old Mrs. Yuan shook her head.

"Yiyi..."

The old lady's voice was very weak, and Yuan Yi immediately responded: "Hey, grandma, I'm here!"

Old Mrs. Yuan squinted her eyes and looked at her: "Why don't you go to school today?"

Hearing this, Yuan Yi's face looked a little strange. He didn't know how to say some things, so he just smiled bitterly and said it.

"Grandma, today is Sunday, of course I won't go to school."
