Chapter 352: Speak Up for Justice

Lin Xiangnan's comfort was effective. Now Hu Meili was no longer worried about whether Lin Xiangdong would suffer, but only worried about whether he could come back.

Since the country opened up, everyone has been able to access more foreign information, and some people's yearning for developed countries such as Britain and the United States is almost overflowing.

When taking a walk in the evening or chatting in the afternoon, one or two familiar ladies on the street would tell Hu Meili that Lin Xiangdong should stay abroad.

"I finally got out to study, so why not stay there and make a lot of money after graduation so that I can take you out to enjoy life later."

Hu Meili retorted unhappily, "I am enjoying myself now."

"Your problem is nothing. There are tall buildings in foreign countries, and every household has a TV and a telephone. There are only rich people there, and no one is hungry. I heard that there are lots of milk and bread in their trash cans. They are so rich."

Needless to say, Lin Xiangnan and his wife have high salaries. Lin Xiangnan also subsidizes a lot of his own pocket money privately, so the family's living standard has always been very high.

Ordinary working-class families can barely fill their stomachs. Farmers in the countryside sometimes have to go hungry. So it’s no wonder that so many people want to go abroad to live a good life.

"My child said that there is nothing good about Britain and the United States." Hu Meili said this, feeling guilty about it.

If everyone says that the situation abroad is good and you say that it is not good, it will not make you look smart, but will only make you stand out.

And don't listen to these uncles and aunts who are advising people to go abroad now. When Lin Xiangdong really stays abroad and doesn't come back, they will be the first to scold him.

Government-sponsored overseas students spend the country’s money, and after completing their studies, they should return to serve the motherland.

So when Hu Meili wrote back to Lin Xiangdong, she reiterated, "If you don't come back and become a traitor, we will cut off all ties with you and never talk to you again."

Seeing Hu Meili's warning letter, Lin Xiangdong was not angry at all.

Lin Xiangdong believed in Hu Meili's feelings for him and would not really ignore him. But if he really didn't go back and publicly broke off the relationship, Hu Meili would definitely do it.

If there is such a person in the family and the relationship is not severed, Lin Xiangnan's promotion and Lin Xiangxi's job assignment will be affected in the future.

Even for the sake of his younger brothers and sisters at home, Lin Xiangdong dared not do anything reckless.

He folded the letters carefully and put them in a box, ate a sandwich casually, and went to the laboratory to work.

When his curve was almost measured, another foreign classmate arrived late.

"Lin, you're here so early again."

Lin Xiangdong smiled shyly and said, "There is no air conditioning in the dormitory."

"Oh, of course. Students don't have these expensive high-end instruments."

The classmate walked up to Lin Xiangdong and curiously asked, "Lin, the professor admires you very much. Are you really not going to stay?"

Lin Xiangdong shook his head and explained: "My family is still in China."

"That's such a shame. I heard that the conditions in your country are very difficult. It would be a waste for a person like you to go back."

"What kind of talent am I? There are many people in the country who are better than me." Lin Xiangdong didn't know about others, but he knew his own family. Lin Xiangnan was much better than him, but he didn't say anything. What kind of talent was he?

Students who are down-to-earth and love to study are always favored by teachers.

Just six months after entering the school, Lin Xiangdong was able to help out in the teacher's laboratory. The teacher was very appreciative and wanted to keep Lin Xiangdong. The reason was not for anything else, but to avoid wasting talent. He simply thought that if Lin Xiangdong stayed in the United States, he would be more likely to achieve success.

Lin Xiangdong could feel the teacher's kindness, so he didn't pretend to be polite and told the truth that he wanted to go home to build the motherland. This reason was very strong, and the teacher had nothing to say.

He met a good teacher, so his life was pretty good.

Many of his other classmates who came to study abroad were not as lucky as him.

The most unlucky student got food poisoning and acclimatization right after arriving, and almost died. He was sent back to his country the next day after being rescued. The second most unlucky one came back too late at night and was robbed. After resisting, he was shot in the buttocks and was also sent back to his country to recuperate...

When Lin Xiangdong wrote the letter, he didn't dare tell Hu Meili about these things, for fear that Hu Meili would worry.

In his eyes, eating corn porridge is not a big deal. It just makes his stomach a little upset, but it is better than being shot.

Having been in school for a while, Lin Xiangdong felt that he was no longer surprised. However, when his fellow villagers asked him to gossip on the way home from get out of class, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"I don't know whether Mr. Meng is unlucky or lucky. The people in the US government are trying hard to recruit him. As long as he stays here, they will not only give him a house, but also a resettlement allowance of 100,000 yuan."

"Is the treatment really that good?" Lin Xiangdong was asked by the teacher to stay, but it was just a casual mention. He refused and it didn't matter. The teacher just appreciated him, but he didn't have to be with him.

"He's a genius. He's already completed all the credits in less than half a year! You can tell whether he's amazing or not. His ability may not even be matched by Lin Xiangnan from Beijing University. No matter how good she is, she studies with Chinese textbooks. This classmate Meng Chengzhi studies foreign courses, and to be honest, the things in China are indeed inferior to those abroad. The most important thing is that Meng Chengzhi is four or five years younger than Lin Xiangnan from Beijing University and has more potential..."

Lin Xiangnan has a great reputation in the school. He is the top student in the grade and can substitute for teachers in his freshman year. Before he finished a year, he became Professor Wang's graduate student. He is a well-known figure in the department and his strength is naturally beyond doubt.

Because his sister was so famous, Lin Xiangdong never expected that when he went abroad, a student from Peking University would directly associate his self-introduction with Lin Xiangnan.

"One is Lin Xiangdong, the other is Lin Xiangnan. Are you brother and sister?"

Lin Xiangnan's job was special, and Lin Xiangdong was afraid of getting into trouble, so he distanced himself from her on the spot, "I don't know her. I've never heard of her."

After he said this, the enthusiastic people from Peking University immediately learned about Lin Xiangnan's glorious deeds.

Maybe the relationship was too clear, and now some people are slandering Lin Xiangnan in front of him.

Lin Xiangdong asked back on the spot: "Last year, Lin Xiangnan took two months off to go abroad for an inspection. Didn't you know that? Several students from Beijing University know that Lin Xiangnan is good at foreign languages. Didn't you know that? And Lin Xiangnan is not that old at all. She is only 23 years old and is already a graduate student. Is that bad? You are so much older than her. How can you say that she is old? Aren't you embarrassed?"

"You, I didn't say anything to you, why are you so anxious?"

“I am speaking out for justice.”

Lin Xiangdong said righteously, "Although I have never met Lin Xiangnan, I am willing to say a fair word for her."
