Chapter 107 Third Brother Lied
Xu Niannian's eyes flushed as she looked at Teacher Yan, who she had pushed down. She was stunned for a moment, then she laughed. She laughed so hard that she looked a little crazy.
"You always compare me to Wen Zhu. I'm no match for her. Are you particularly disappointed in me? But I'm not as good as her. I obviously know more, so why does she always interfere? Why does God treat me like this?
Do you think I deserved to be fired because of my own faults? "
Teacher Yan didn't scold Xu Niannian harshly as before. Instead, he slowly stood up, leaning against the wall. He looked at her with some regret and sadness.
"Xu Niannian, the teacher doesn't think you're hopeless. I know you very well. You used to be a good kid with dreams and goals, but I don't know why you suddenly became so full of anger and resentment, like a completely different person, no longer like yourself.
Life is not always smooth sailing. You must learn to grow on your own through setbacks, rather than trying to change your fate by taking shortcuts or relying on others to save you."
Teacher Yan continued to ramble earnestly.
"Who in this world can save you? Only yourself. Apart from yourself, you can't rely on anyone else."
Xu Niannian stared at Teacher Yan with red eyes, her frantic gaze now empty. Like a soulless puppet. Yes, why? What exactly did she hate about Wen Zhu? From the moment she was reborn, she felt like she had been possessed, opposing her at every turn.
However, I have also worked hard in the past.
What is the meaning of her rebirth?
Is she wrong?
Something in her head seemed to prevent her from thinking further, and her head was splitting with pain.
Instead, there was an inexplicable and deeper resentment towards Wen Zhu.
Oh right, Wen Zhu is to blame for what happened to her! It's all her fault!
"Teacher will think of a way for you. Go and ask the principal to see if you can come back to school..."
Xu Niannian's angry eyes moved, and she mechanically turned her head, looking at Teacher Yan with empty eyes. Her dry, cracked lips moved.
"It's too late. It's too late."
She turned around and said, "I'm going to pack up and leave the school now. You don't have to chase me away."
Teacher Yan saw that her condition was very bad and wanted to persuade her a few more times, but he supported his sore waist and took a few quick steps to catch up with her.
"Xu Niannian, don't dwell on this. Try to reform yourself, cooperate with the lawyer, and apologize. I will continue to plead for you. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me..."
Xu Niannian suddenly stopped and looked back at the teacher who claimed to be caring about her. She spoke coldly.
"None of your business!"
Just as they reached the stairs, Teacher Yan pulled her. During the tug, Xu Niannian tilted her body and fell towards the handrail of the stairs, which was not high to begin with.
Teacher Yan subconsciously grabbed Xu Niannian's arm and pulled her back with all her strength, preventing her from falling down the stairs.
Teacher Yan herself, having tried so hard to hold her back, slammed her back against the handrail at the corner, causing her to be severely injured. She closed her eyes and sat down on the stairs to catch her breath.
Xu Niannian stopped and glanced at Teacher Yan, who was sitting on the stairs, with a complicated look in her eyes. She hesitated a little, but in the end, she said nothing and ran away quickly.
"Xu Niannian, Xu Niannian..."
Teacher Yan propped himself up and looked down. The man had already disappeared.
Sighing, Teacher Yan bent his back, which was difficult to straighten, and stood up with the help of the handrail, moving downstairs.
Although it was not widely publicized in school, everyone still knew about it.
The students were all discussing Xu Niannian's dropping out of school in private.
Wen Zhu naturally also learned the news through Teacher Lin.
She couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy, she just hoped she'd never have to cross paths with Xu Niannian again. Whatever her fate was, that was her destiny. She wasn't a saint or a Buddha, and she couldn't have the love in her heart to forgive her sins and save her from misfortune.
Wen Zhu remembered that in his previous life, his master's good friend Master Jinshan once said: Don't try to interfere too much in the fate of others. Once it exceeds a certain scope, you will bear the cause and effect of that person.
No one bothered her, so she was happy and at ease, and could devote herself to preparing for the exam.
When I got home and just reached the door, Qian Jingsheng called me to go over there.
Wen Zhu thought there was something wrong with his injuries, so he followed him.
After entering, Qian Jingsheng whispered something to Wen Zhu.
"Your third brother might be having some problems." He then explained the bruises he had seen on Jiang Jianye's arm and analyzed his dodging and evasions.
After hearing this, Wen Zhu immediately thought of his third brother's abnormal reaction in the past few days.
For example, you may suddenly become interested in combat training and be willing to take the initiative to practice more.
For example, when she wanted to help her third brother apply medicine for bruises and injuries, he sternly refused.
For example, my third brother has been coming back later than usual recently.
She felt a little guilty, thinking that she was so busy with her own affairs, preparing for exams and participating in competitions, that she ignored her third brother's situation.
"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Qian." Wen Zhu thanked him sincerely.
Qian Jingsheng nodded and said, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me."
Wen Zhu returned to his yard as usual. Seeing that his third brother, who was supposed to be attending evening self-study classes, was already in the yard, Wen Zhu asked.
"Third brother, why are you back so early today? Didn't you say that we have to attend evening self-study classes before the college entrance examination?"
Wen Zhu asked as he put down his schoolbag.
Jiang Jianye lowered his head to read the book, glanced at Wen Zhu, then quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head to answer, "I... my stomach hurts, I asked for leave, so I came back first."
"Yeah, my stomach hurts."
After saying that, he continued reading without even looking at his sister.
"Would you like me to take your pulse and see what the problem is?"
Jiang Jianye refused subconsciously without thinking.
"No, I just ate something bad and had some diarrhea. I'm fine now."
Wen Zhu frowned slightly, and she said "hmm" casually, then looked at her third brother calmly.
Her third brother was very smart, but he didn't like sports or socializing, was quiet, and had a slightly low emotional intelligence. Perhaps this was what later generations called an autistic savant.
But in Wen Zhu's opinion, her third brother's autism wasn't that severe. He was probably more of a solitary genius, someone who was in the world of geniuses, someone who others didn't understand and who didn't want to communicate with ordinary people. But within family, things were a little better. At least they could communicate normally.
From childhood to adulthood, the third brother is the smartest among the four brothers and sisters, but he is the worst at lying.
When you tell a lie, you can't help but repeat what you said.
The whole family knew this, but they didn't tell him, so that if he encountered any problems, he wouldn't have to tell his family and suffer losses alone.
Wen Zhu did not expose him, but first lit a fire to cook the rice, then scooped it out and drained it, and cleaned up the dishes so that it would be easier for his mother to come back later.
Her father now works in a factory in the city and only comes home once a week, so it's just the three of them at home.
When Jiang Qin came back from closing the stall, Wen Zhu had already prepared the meal.
Jiang Qin felt sorry for her daughter who had to study hard and then come back to cook, but she was also relieved that her daughter cared about her and felt very happy.
After dinner, Jiang Jianye washed the dishes, Wen Zhu and Jiang Qin cleaned the house, and the three of them chatted together.
"Third brother, has anything interesting happened at school recently? I'm about to take the high school entrance exam, and I'm a little curious. Is high school the same as junior high? Is there anything fun?"
Wen Zhu blinked and stared at Jiang Jianye, looking like a curious baby.
Jiang Jianye wanted to touch his sister's head, but his hands were washing dishes, so he could only rub it with his elbow.
He only stopped after ruffling Wen Zhu's hair.
After careful consideration, he replied, "It's the same as going to school in a different place."
"Does Third Brother have any good friends? I haven't even heard of your good friends. My Third Brother is so awesome, I'm sure all the classmates will be chasing after you to make friends! I really want to meet them!"
Jiang Jianye paused as he washed the dishes, his back stiffening for a moment. Then, staring at the dishes in his hands, he whispered, "No, no friends."
Wen Zhu looked at Jiang Jianye silently. She knew that her third brother was worried.
He lied.
