Chapter 183 Calculation

Lin Jinyan's eyes dimmed as he asked, "Does this happen often? Are there many such cases in your school?"

"No, only Wang Xiaocao's mother often comes to make trouble. There are very few others like this. Our school accepts students from many villages. My mother said that there is only one person like Wang Xiaocao's mother in ten or eight villages."

"Okay, go back and read first. Kid, don't interfere in this matter." He smiled and nodded at Zhao Fengjuan, and let her go back.

He turned around and strode towards the farce with a sullen face. At this time, Wang Xiaocao's mother raised her hand to slap Wang Xiaocao, but fortunately, Principal Zhou blocked it quickly, but even so, a few slaps still landed on Wang Xiaocao's face.

Wang Xiaocao's tender little face suddenly became red and swollen. She bit her lips and looked at her mother fiercely, as if she was going to pounce on her and bite her the next moment.

The woman felt a chill in her heart when she saw this, and she couldn't bring her raised hand down.

David, who was standing by, could no longer hold back and rushed forward, firmly grasping Wang Xiaocao's mother's raised hand, and said sternly, "Sister, let's talk it over nicely. You can't hit the child."

Wang Xiaocao's mother came to her senses and struggled hard, shouting, "This is my child. I can do whatever I want with her. She doesn't go home to work and is wasting money on studying here. She might as well die!"

Principal Zhou was extremely worried and quickly advised, "Don't say that. Wang Xiaocao studies very hard and has good grades. She will definitely have a bright future and will be able to find a good job and make a lot of money to support you."

Wang Xiaocao's mother sneered: "Huh, that's nice talk, but what can a girl do? I don't count on her, I have a son. I can't afford to support her, and there are still a lot of things waiting for her to do at home."

Lin Jianyan walked over and stared down at her with cold eyes, "Come on, save some morals for yourself. You are also a woman, and only you know the grievances you have suffered. Why do you want to inflict all the suffering on your daughter?"

Wang Xiaocao's mother was inexplicably frightened by the look, but she still stiffened her neck and retorted: "She's my own daughter, I can do whatever I want, you outsider, stay out of my business!"

"Besides, every woman has gone through this. I didn't have the conditions back then. I let her go to school for so many years. I've been good to her. Now it's time for her to repay me."

Suddenly, she looked at Lin Jianyan and David beside her, her eyes sparkling, "Oh~ Are you interested in my little girl? Fine, two thousand dollars, you can take her away, not a cent less."

Principal Zhou was shocked and said, "Mother Xiaocao, how can you say that?"

Wang Xiaocao's eyes also lost their color. She was treated like a commodity by her own mother and could be sold to a strange man for only two thousand yuan.

When Lin Jianyan heard this, she couldn't help but laugh angrily, "David."

David understood what she meant and slapped her twice, knocking her to the ground. This sudden action stunned everyone present.

Just as the woman was about to throw up and roll around, Lin Jianyan squatted down, staring at her intently. His tone was gentle, but it made people feel cold, and his words made the woman's wails stuck in her throat.

"I usually have a good temper. I hope you can learn a lesson this time. I just slapped you twice. If you say anything else that makes me unhappy, I will break your arms and legs. Anyway, I have plenty of money, and I can afford the medical expenses."

When Wang Xiaocao's mother heard this, her eyes widened in horror, her crying stopped abruptly, and her face was full of fear and unwillingness. Her lips trembled, but she dared not make any sound.

Because she knew that the man in front of her was not joking, his eyes were murderous, and he really wanted to kill her.

Wang Xiaocao saw this scene and her eyes lit up brightly. She knew that the man in front of her could save her. This was her only lifeline and she had to hold on to him tightly.

She rushed to Lin Jianyan and David eagerly, her voice tearful but firm: "Uncle, I want to study, I want to escape from this home, please help me."

"I will definitely work like a slave to repay you in the future."

Wang Xiaocao's mother heard this and yelled at her, "You scoundrel! I was beaten and you begged them for mercy. You ungrateful bastard! If I had known, I would have strangled you to death before you were born!"

David took a step forward and glared at the woman. The woman shrank back instantly and dared not say a word.

Lin Jianyan helped her up, and then he found that Wang Xiaocao's hands were covered with scars of various sizes.

"Come on, don't block the classroom door, let's go to the office and talk."

Principal Zhou nodded and said to the teacher beside him, "Teacher Zhao, you should go with them. Let the children study on their own first."

The group arrived at Principal Zhou's office. As soon as Wang Xiaocao's mother entered the room, she sat down on a chair. She still looked reluctant and muttered softly.

Lin Jianyan sat down on the chair that David had brought, and sat down leisurely, looking at the woman calmly, "Get straight to the point, tell me, what conditions can allow Wang Xiaocao to continue to go to school."

The woman rolled her eyes, calculating, "That's easy. Didn't I just tell you that you pay two thousand yuan to buy her back? It's up to you whether she goes to school or not."

"Looking at the way you're dressed, you must be rich. You can't afford 2,000 yuan, right?"

Principal Zhou and Teacher Zhao were both furious. They had never seen a mother like this who would sell her own child at will.

Lin Jianyan suddenly sneered: "You are ignorant of the law, but I am not. Buying and selling children is against the law."

Suddenly, he changed the subject, his tone became annoyed, "You are a bit stupid, I would say."

Woman: “?”

He was talking to her peacefully, why did he suddenly start scolding her? And why did his tone sound so strange?

Lin Jianyan continued, "Do you know how valuable a college student is now? Especially a female college student. If she is lucky enough to find a son-in-law from the city, the bride price can be this much."

Lin Jianyan stretched out three fingers, and the slender white fingers reflected a soft light under the sunlight.

The woman asked blankly, "Three, three thousand?"

Lin Jianyan shook his head and sighed. Suddenly, the woman's eyes widened and she stammered, "Could it be thirty thousand!?"

Lin Jianyan nodded solemnly, as if she finally understood. "That's right. Maybe it's more than 30,000. Can you earn 30,000 yuan in your lifetime?"

The woman was dumbfounded and shook her head blankly.

Lin Jianyan's eyes sparkled when he saw this, but he spoke as if he was thinking of her, "Yes, you see, now you don't have to pay for the nine-year compulsory education from elementary school to middle school, the textbook fee is paid by Principal Zhou.

You just need to pay for Xiaocao's high school tuition and living expenses, and once she goes to college and turns 18, let her go to work. When she graduates, she can find you a son-in-law from the city. Then you will have 30,000 yuan in betrothal money and a son-in-law from the city. How great is that!"
