Chapter 438 The Strange Student's Home

Achu stood still, watching the direction Chen Sanya ran off in.

Wen Zhiyu walked over and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Achu looked up at him and repeated what Chen Sanya had just said to Wen Zhiyu.

"I find it a bit strange. If there was food at home, why didn't they give Chen Sanya's mother anything to eat?"

Wen Zhiyu: "It is quite strange. Why don't we ask Principal Wang if he knows anything about Chen Sanya's family situation?"

Achu nodded in agreement and went to see Principal Wang with Wen Zhiyu.

Principal Wang: "You mean Chen Sanya? She's a pitiful girl. She's the third child in her family, with two older sisters, two younger sisters, and a younger brother."

“Her two older sisters have already finished primary school, but her family absolutely refuses to let them continue their studies and stay at home to work and take care of their younger siblings.”

"Her older sister was only fifteen years old when she was married off to someone from the next village."

Achu was utterly shocked: "Married at only fifteen?!"

Principal Wang nodded, then sighed: "In remote mountain villages, people get married very young."

"Her family is quite poor, and they have so many children. I heard that her mother is mentally unstable."

"Anything beyond that, I don't know."

Ah Chu's furrowed brows deepened even more after hearing Principal Wang's words.

Live stream chat:

[I can't understand! If she was mentally unstable, why did they let her have one child after another?]

I think Chen Sanya seems perfectly normal, so her mother probably doesn't have a congenital mental illness, right?

No! The family is already so poor, why have so many children?

Many people are more likely to have children the poorer they are; children born into such families are truly born into a doomed situation!

My heart aches for Chen Sanya! I also feel sorry for her older sister who wasn't allowed to continue her education after elementary school! And even more so for her eldest sister who was married off at fifteen!

I'm so angry watching this!

[After Chen Sanya finishes elementary school, her family probably won't let her continue her education.]

I want to sponsor her to continue her studies. Where can I contact her for assistance?

Try sending a private message to their official Weibo account.

I'm going right now!

Viewers assumed that Ah Chu had asked Principal Wang about Chen Sanya's family situation and then stopped caring.

Unexpectedly, after school in the afternoon, she asked the program crew for some rice, flour and milk, and went to Chen Sanya's house with Wen Zhiyu.

Chen Sanya is from Yunwu Village, so it's very convenient to visit her home.

When Chen Sanya returned home and immediately started helping her sister with chores, she saw A Chu and Wen Zhiyu and her expression changed, fearing that they had come to complain.

"teacher……"

A Chu smiled at Chen Sanya, then her gaze fell on the slightly older girl next to her.

She was thirteen or fourteen years old, but she was thin and small, with dry, yellow hair, and wearing clothes that were too short.

Her facial features are also quite good, but she is too dark-skinned and too thin.

Her back was hunched over because she was carrying a child of about one year old on her back.

This must be Chen Sanya's second sister. Looking at her, A Chu had a surreal feeling of seeing herself at twelve years old.

They were both thin and malnourished, wearing clothes that didn't fit them well.

Seeing the glamorous city people, Chen Erya was clearly at a loss and embarrassed.

Just as Achu was about to speak, an old woman walked out with a wary look in her eyes.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Chen Sanya quickly said, "Grandma, they are teachers!"

Achu chimed in, "Yes, we are teachers from Yunshan Hope Primary School today, and we are also here in Yunwu Village to record a program."

Grandma Chen also remembered that a TV crew had come to the village and said they would be staying for a few days.

At first they disagreed, but the village chief said that they would give money and each family would get a share.

Thinking that it was time for their second son to get married, Old Mrs. Chen and the others agreed.

However, Old Mrs. Chen hasn't gone out these past two days. She's been staying at home watching over her crazy daughter-in-law and hasn't seen A Chu and the others.

Seeing the wariness in Old Mrs. Chen's eyes, A Chu still smiled innocently:

"Grandma, we heard that Chen Sanya's family is having a hard time, so we brought some rice, flour, milk and other things. Please accept them."

Wen Zhiyu handed over what he was holding.

Old Mrs. Chen had just noticed the nice things Wen Zhiyu was carrying, and when she heard that they were for them, her expression immediately changed.

"Oh! You are such kind people! Our family is in dire straits, we're almost starving!"

Ah Chu looked very sympathetic upon hearing this: "Then you must accept these."

Of course, Grandma Chen wouldn't refuse and quickly took it.

Then he complained to Achu and Wen Zhiyu about how poor his family was.

Achu's sympathy deepened. Pointing to the camera suspended in mid-air, she asked Grandma Chen, "Grandma Chen, can we film your home?"

"Take a picture and put it on TV so that more people can see your family's difficulties. If everyone does their part, it can help your family get out of trouble."

Originally, Old Mrs. Chen was unwilling, but after hearing what Ah Chu said next, she couldn't help but be tempted.

Her family looks poor, so I'm sure many kind people will donate money and supplies!

Her second daughter-in-law has finally been found!

So Old Mrs. Chen nodded in agreement: "Then you can go ahead and look, but you can't go to the woodshed over there."

Achu didn't ask why he couldn't go, and just nodded in agreement.

She and Wen Zhiyu, with cameras in hand, toured around the Chen family's residence.

Live stream chat:

This place is so shabby!

[I'm so poor!]

[The children in this family are all so thin and skinny, it's so pitiful!]

Don't you guys think this old lady Chen is a bit fierce?

[He was quite fierce, and seemed a bit greedy. His expression immediately changed when he heard Nangong Chu say he had brought them rice, noodles, and milk.]

I didn't have a good impression of this old lady Chen!

I want to know what's going on with Chen Sanya's mother.

Why didn't Nangong Chu ask?

Yeah, I thought she'd ask!

They might ask that later.

However, I still have a question: Old Mrs. Chen said we can't go to the woodshed, why can't we go to the woodshed?

I'm naturally rebellious. If she tells me I can't go to the woodshed, well, I'll still go anyway!

Achu wasn't rebellious; she asked Chen Sanya to introduce her family, seemingly trying to understand their situation.

Seeing that A-Chu hadn't complained to her grandmother, Chen Sanya had already lowered her guard.

However, when the beautiful teacher from the city saw the family's poverty, Chen Sanya felt very inferior and shrank back.

Achu pretended not to notice her embarrassment and chatted with her naturally.

Is this the woodshed?

Hearing A-Chu's question, Chen Sanya suddenly realized that she had actually brought her teacher to the woodshed!

She seemed a little flustered, but still nodded and replied, "Yes, this is the woodshed."

"Teacher, let's go take a look over there!"
