The next day after school, Li Cuilian finished preparing her lessons and went home.
When she arrived in town and saw the street vendors, she thought of weighing some ribs to take home and eat.
"Hey, it's Teacher Li. Is it time to go home from school?"
The butcher knew Li Cuilian.
"Yeah." Li Cuilian smiled rarely.
"What are you eating today?"
"Let's have some ribs."
"Hey, Teacher Li, you came at the perfect time. We just slaughtered our pig, and the pork and ribs are so fresh."
"Okay, help me pick out something good."
"Okay!"
The butcher started helping Li Cuilian choose ribs.
Guan Jingwen secretly followed Li Cuilian on her bicycle. When she saw Li Cuilian stopped in front of a meat stall, she hurried over.
"Teacher Li."
Li Cuilian turned her head and saw that it was Guan Jingwen. She returned to her serious attitude and said, "Mr. Guan? What's wrong?"
"Teacher Li." Guan Jingwen laughed and said, "Nothing, I was just passing by and saw you, Teacher Li, so I said hello."
"Okay." Li Cuilian nodded. "It's getting late. You should go home early. Today's study was quite difficult. Finish your homework early and consolidate your knowledge."
"Okay." Guan Jingwen agreed quickly.
The butcher had already weighed the meat: "Teacher Li, your spare ribs."
"Okay." Li Cuilian took it and prepared to pay.
Guan Jingwen saw it and immediately took money out of her bag: "Teacher Li, let me pay for you."
Then he gave the money to the butcher.
The butcher saw this and laughed so hard: "Hey Teacher Li, your students are so nice to you, they even paid for you."
Li Cuilian frowned and took out the money and handed it to the butcher: "Don't use her money, I'll pay for it myself."
Guan Jingwen quickly said, "It's okay, Teacher Li, I'll take care of this little money."
The butcher also echoed: "Teacher Li, since your students are so kind to you, just accept it. Such a good student, don't let her kindness down."
"Yes!" Guan Jingwen nodded.
No matter what the two people said, Li Cuilian still had a stern face: "I'll pay for it myself."
The butcher was also speechless by Li Cuilian's stubbornness: "Teacher Li, why are you arguing with a child?"
"You also said she was a child. I, a teacher, bought the ribs myself and asked my students to pay for me. If this gets out, how will I, Li Cuilian, save my reputation?"
Li Cuilian's voice was loud and clear, frighteningly cold.
The butcher's stall owner shrank his neck in fear.
Li Cuilian didn't have the time to bother with that and simply threw the weighed ribs onto the meat stall.
"Since you won't sell it to me, I don't want it either."
After saying that, Li Cuilian turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Seeing that the business was about to fail, the butcher stall owner was happy as long as he could get paid, and didn't care who paid.
"Teacher Li, I won't say anything more. You can't take money from students. You can't take it..."
Li Cuilian then turned around and handed the money to the butcher again.
The butcher didn't dare to joke anymore, took the money, and gave the change.
Li Cuilian took the change and left.
Guan Jingwen's hand holding the money was still stretched in the air. Her kindness was taken for granted, and her face turned green.
The butcher also noticed Guan Jingwen's embarrassment and quickly said, "Teacher Li is just like that. It's okay."
Guan Jingwen quickly put away the money and pushed her bicycle to catch up.
Li Cuilian felt that Guan Jingwen had been following her. After walking for a while, she finally couldn't help it, stopped and turned her head.
