Chapter 858 Li Lie's Visit, Subconscious Thoughts (2/2)



"I just hope this matter doesn't involve Yunyang. As for us, it's best to keep our distance."

Xu Hanshan decided that unless absolutely necessary, he should avoid contact with the black market again.

Given their status, it's indeed inappropriate for them to go to the black market.

If I get caught, it won't be easy to handle.

Just then, a sound came from outside.

Is Teacher Xu home?

Xu Hanshan was taken aback. He seemed to recognize the voice: "Is that Li Lie?"

Xu Hanshan opened the door and saw that it was indeed Li Lie outside.

After waiting for a while, Li Lie hesitated a bit.

Xu Hanshan was taken aback. For some reason, he remembered something Gu Yunyang had reminded him of before.

It wasn't that Gu Yunyang had warned Xu Hanshan to be careful of Li Lie, after all, Gu Yunyang and Li Lie weren't familiar with each other, and might not even know each other.

Directly reminding Xu Hanshan to be careful of Li Lie would be counterproductive.

There's no way to explain it.

But Gu Yunyang also reminded Xu Hanshan to be careful about everything in the future.

Don't try to do everything yourself.

Even if the students are poor, sad, and in a difficult situation.

Xu Hanshan should also be more careful.

However, out of concern for his students, he still asked, "Is there anything wrong, Li Lie? If you have any difficulties, just say so. If I can help you, I definitely will."

Li Lie was secretly delighted, but he still stammered. After being pressed twice, he finally said, "Teacher, I had no choice. The rations were reduced before, and my family is really short of food. I haven't eaten for two days, and there are many children in my family..."

For some reason, Xu Hanshan immediately thought of the green tea that Gu Yunyang had mentioned.

Li Lie had said this before; his family was not well-off, and he had many children.

Li Lie had no choice but to accept his kindness.

This kindness was personally delivered by Xu Hanshan.

But now, after hearing some of Gu Yunyang's words, Xu Hanshan wondered if he shouldn't have been so proactive.

Li Lie was puzzled; usually, Xu Hanshan would have given him money and gifts by this time.

Xu Hanshan is a professor, and he earns such a high salary every month.

They say they also do translation work, and they earn quite a bit of money.

What's wrong with giving him some support?

Seeing that Xu Hanshan was still in a daze, Li Lie stammered, "My brothers were starving, so I had to give them my own food. So I..."

Li Lie hadn't eaten all day in order to get here.

His face was indeed somewhat pale, and he looked rather weak.

Even the teacher's wife couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to agree.

However, Xu Hanshan stopped his wife and said to Li Lie, "It's like this, I can't do anything about the quantity."

Xu Hanshan seemed to see a fleeting hint of resentment in Li Lie's eyes.

Xu Hanshan secretly told himself that Li Lie was a loving older brother who cared for his younger siblings and a filial child.

At this point, they were forced to ask themselves for help.

He is not the kind of person who forgets kindness.

But for some reason, the words Gu Yunyang had once said flashed through his mind.

"Helping others is not wrong, but teacher, you should think more about the consequences of doing so. You are not alone, you also have your wife and your children."

Xu Hanshan was filled with vigilance.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Hanshan continued, "It's like this, I remember your grades were pretty good? I can introduce you to some translation jobs so you can earn some money."

However, I have no way to help with the food purchase. As you know, the two of us old folks don't eat much. Our rations are usually enough, but we also have children and grandchildren, and even our grandchildren don't have enough to eat.

However, I can lend you two... I can lend you ten yuan. You can go and ask the villagers in the countryside if they have any extra grain.
