Chapter 1171 Turning Point (12)
The implication of these words was almost to say that the Ruan family did not need this little money and should not bother with this student. After all, a dozen yuan might not even be enough for a piece of clothing for the Ruan family, but for Xiao Yanyu, it might be one or two months’ living expenses.
Before the head teacher of Class 1 finished his words, Shu Jie frowned, but before he could say anything, Ruan Lei, who was holding a basketball and preparing to go out to play, raised his neck and shouted nonchalantly: "Teacher Gong, what you mean is that my sister's family is rich, so I don't have to pay it back."
"That's perfect, I don't have to pay for the glass I broke yesterday, right?"
"Why don't I have to pay, you broke it." The head teacher glared at him. He loved and hated this student. He was the top student in the class, but he was too naughty. He broke the school glass just three days after the start of school.
"Hey." Ruan Lei smiled and bared his teeth: "Teacher Gong, what you said is very interesting. Why should I pay compensation, but Xiao Yanyu doesn't? What, is it because she is poor? Oh, I am poor too. My mother only gives me ten yuan a month for living expenses. A piece of glass costs three yuan, and it costs fifty cents to install it. Three yuan and fifty cents, I can't even afford to eat if I lose money, how pitiful, isn't it."
"Or you can have mercy on me and talk to the school and ask me not to pay. You can't be partial to one and ignore the other, right?"
At the end, Ruan Lei blinked at the head teacher ingratiatingly, as if he was really reluctant to take the three yuan and fifty cents, hoping that she could talk to the school to waive it for him.
Being able to be a head teacher of the first grade of high school, Teacher Gong is naturally not stupid. She immediately understood what Ruan Lei meant, and her face immediately turned red.
Yang Tiao originally did not intend to say anything, but seeing that Ruan Lei had said so much, and hated Xiao Yanyu's behavior, she immediately asked innocently: "Teacher Gong, it turns out that being poor does not mean you have to pay. I thought it was natural to pay if you broke something or accidentally hurt someone."
As she said this, she rubbed her forehead with an expression that said, "So that's how it is." That look really seemed innocent, not intentional.
The students around Xiao Yanyu, who had originally sympathized with her, began to think deeply after hearing what Ruan Lei and Yang Tiao said. They felt that what they said seemed to be wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.
Yang Tiao's words were like pulling off Xiao Yanyu's last fig leaf. Her face was redder than her class teacher's. She was really at a loss this time. She looked at her class teacher, then at all the classmates, and finally at Shu Jie: "I... I didn't mean that... I... didn't mean to not pay it back, really! Teacher Shu, please believe me."
Shu Jie looked at the blushing Xiao Yanyu with a calm expression, as if he didn't hear what they just said. He just asked: "If you didn't pay, then did you apologize?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yanyu was so anxious that tears came out. She didn't answer, because she didn't want to pay, so naturally she didn't think about apologizing.
"We can talk about paying later, but have you apologized? Or do you think that classmate Ruan's family is rich, so he deserves to be smashed?" Shu Jie asked again.
"No, no, I really didn't mean that." Xiao Yanyu's tears really flowed down this time, covering her face and sobbing.
"The money problem can be paid back slowly in the future, but the apology problem is your attitude problem, what do you think?"
