Chapter 108 Classmates, please give your opinions

After having breakfast at home, Lin Xiaoyu went to school carrying her schoolbag. It was hot today, so she wore the short-sleeved shirt and overalls her mother had just bought for her. She looked youthful and full of energy.

Zhang Jiao pinched the strap of her purse and kept looking up at the time.

"Why hasn't Lin Xiaoyu come yet?" If she waited a little longer, she would be late again.

Finally, she saw a figure that looked very much like Lin Xiaoyu, but she looked different from Xiaoyu, and she was a little unsure for a moment.

When the person came closer, she was sure that it was Lin Xiaoyu.

It hasn't been many days since we last met, but Lin Xiaoyu has changed again.

She was wearing nice new clothes and a pretty hairpin on her head. She looked pretty and youthful, and her face was so tender that it looked like water could be squeezed out of it.

The clothes and shoes he was wearing were all new and didn't look cheap.

Zhang Jiao was extremely jealous. Li Shuping was now willing to give up her daughter, Lin Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu." Zhang Jiao grabbed Lin Xiaoyu's hand.

Lin Xiaoyu was shocked. "Sister-in-law?"

Why did the sister-in-law come to her school?

Zhang Jiao: "Yuyu, Dad got sick because of Mom. He is in the hospital now. He is very ill and will be in the hospital for a week. Dad needs someone to take care of him in the hospital. Your two brothers, your second sister-in-law and I can't take leave. Please take some leave and go to the hospital to take care of Dad for a few days."

"!"

Lin Xiaoyu was stunned and wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.

How dare they ask a student like her to take leave and go to the hospital to take care of her father?

"Sister-in-law, I'm still in school."

Zhang Jiao made a "tsk" sound and asked impatiently, "Who's more important, school or your dad?"

Lin Xiaoyu asked back: "So which is more important, work or dad?"

Zhang Jiao frowned, "Girl, didn't I tell you that we can't take leave?"

"I don't believe it. When grandma was sick and someone was taking care of her, my mom was able to take three months off. How come you can't even take a week off? Even if taking a week is difficult, it should be possible for the four of us to take a day or two off, right?"

Lin Xiaoyu felt that they must not want to take care of Dad, and were reluctant to take leave and have their salary deducted, so they came to ask her to take care of Dad.

"..." Zhang Jiao was speechless for a moment, looking at Lin Xiaoyu's chattering mouth, she thought: This girl who used to be like a taciturn person at home, doing whatever she was asked to do, now she has such a sharp tongue and her head has become so pointed.

"We are very busy at work recently and cannot take leave. As a daughter, what's wrong with you going to the hospital to take care of your own father for a few days? Why do I just realize that you are so unfilial?" Zhang Jiao began to suppress her with filial piety.

Lin Xiaoyu blushed and fought back, "If you are filial, then why don't you go to the hospital and take care of my dad!"

Dad has always been partial to his two brothers, and he treats his sister-in-law better than his daughter, himself.

Why was it that now that he was in the hospital, she, the daughter who had never been favored and who had done nothing but housework at home, was asked to take care of him?

Besides, she is still a student in her twenties.

"Hey, you girl..." Zhang Jiao rolled up her sleeves. Since this girl was sharp-tongued and disobedient, it was no longer her fault.

"Classmates, classmates..." Zhang Jiao clapped her hands and shouted to the students who were walking to the school gate.

Lin Xiaoyu frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Seeing that all the students were looking at her, Zhang Jiao said with an embarrassed look: "Classmates, please judge for me. Lin Xiaoyu's father is also my father-in-law. He is sick and hospitalized. He is lying in the hospital now and needs someone to take care of him day and night. Her brother and I are busy and can't take leave. I want her to take two days off and go to the hospital to take care of him during the day, and her brother will go to accompany him at night, but she doesn't want to go."

"Do you think she is right? Is there anyone in the world who treats a daughter like this?"

Everyone looked at Lin Xiaoyu, many of them with contempt in their eyes.

"Of course not." Several nosy boys shouted in unison, then burst into laughter, causing others to laugh as well.

Lin Xiaoyu's face turned red and she glared at her sister-in-law Zhang Jiao angrily. She was going too far!

"Lin Xiaoyu, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Your own father is sick and in the hospital, but you are unwilling to take care of him. You are so unfilial." Zhao Siyu, who happened to be walking to the school gate, looked at Lin Xiaoyu and mocked him.

Lin Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, "What does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Siyu twirled her hair with her index finger and said, "It's none of my business, but I'm an upright person. I want to say something if I can't stand it."

Jiang Bichun, who was following behind Zhao Siyu, also looked at Lin Xiaoyu with disdain and said, "What's the point of these people having good academic performance? They didn't even care about their own father being in the hospital. Her father really gave birth to her in vain."

Zhang Jiao looked at Lin Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, listen to what your classmates say about you. Kindness and filial piety come first. You can't even do the most basic filial piety. You really read all these books in vain."

"Sister, Lin Xiaoyu doesn't study seriously in school. She also flirts with male classmates and is not clear with them. She even eats their popsicles." Wang Meng also imitated Zhao Siyu and said to Zhang Jiao while twirling her hair with her fingers.

Zhang Jiao glared at him, "Well, Lin Xiaoyu, you're still flirting with male classmates in school. I think you should just stop studying and drop out and go home."

"They are talking nonsense. I didn't flirt with any male classmates!" Lin Xiaoyu retorted loudly.

Zhao Siyu: "Do you dare to say that you didn't eat Zhang Tiejun's popsicle?"

Lin 께yu: "..."

Popsicles are popsicles again!

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyu especially hopes that there has never been such a thing as popsicles in this world!

This way she wouldn't eat Zhang Tiejun's popsicles, and this incident wouldn't become a stain on her life.

"Sister, look, she's not talking anymore." Zhao Siyu pointed at Lin Xiaoyu and said to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao shook her head. "I don't know what to say to you, you are such a disgrace."

Lin Xiaoyu was embarrassed and angry, tears welled up in her eyes.

"You're crying now, but you know you're not doing anything right. Go to the hospital quickly. Your dad is waiting for you there." Zhang Jiao wanted to grab Lin Xiaoyu's hand, but she dodged him.

"What are you doing? You're standing at the school gate instead of going in." Teacher Cheng was standing upstairs and saw a lot of people gathered at the school gate, so he walked out.

As soon as they saw the teacher coming, the students scattered like birds and beasts.

Teacher Cheng saw Lin Xiaoyu wiping her tears and frowned, "Lin Xiaoyu, why are you crying?"

Zhang Jiao looked at the teacher wearing glasses in front of her and asked, "Are you our Lin Xiaoyu's teacher?"

Teacher Cheng glanced at Zhang Jiao, adjusted her glasses, nodded and said, "I'm her homeroom teacher."

"That's great." Zhang Jiao said with a smile, "I'm just asking for a leave from you. I'm Lin Xiaoyu's sister-in-law. My father-in-law is sick and in the hospital for a week. We're so busy with work that we can't take a leave and can't leave. I want to ask Xiaoyu for a week off to go to the hospital to take care of her father."

"This girl, Xiaoyu, is so ignorant and unfilial. She doesn't even want to take care of her dad and is crying here."

Teacher Cheng frowned, adjusted his glasses, and asked bluntly, "Are you all mentally healthy?"

Zhang Jiao: “…”

What?
