After seeing off Ke Ying and his party, the family compound returned to peace. Many family members were interested in the elderly who were sent there and were eager to inquire about their news.
The team members all respected Mr. Peng from the bottom of their hearts, and even when someone at home asked about it, they would just give a few vague answers.
"Teacher Su, I heard that an old man came to your family compound?" The male teacher asked immediately when he saw Su Jin coming into the office.
"I don't know, where did you hear that?" Su Jin looked confused, not knowing how the teacher in front of him knew that.
Ke Ying and his team secretly sent Mr. Peng here. How did the teachers at the school know about it?
"I have someone in the family compound who told me." The male teacher's expression stiffened for a moment, and he looked at Su Jin worriedly: "Teacher Su, I'm just curious."
"I haven't heard of it." Su Jin shook her head and said, "Teacher Wang, I have to go to class first."
Su Jin kept this matter in mind and went back to tell Lu Shiyi that if he could get information from the family members, he would know that the money was at least 300,000 yuan if not 500,000 yuan.
During math class, Su Jin was standing at the podium teaching the children. Two students had wandering eyes and kept looking out the window.
When she was asking students to do their homework, she quietly walked to the desks of two students and looked at the two boys.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Su Jin gave the two children face, and the boy on the left handed Su Jin a note.
She opened the note suspiciously and found that it told them to wait for her at school after school.
"If you feel unwell, go back and see a doctor immediately. Don't delay any longer." Su Jin reached out and touched their foreheads. "Carry your schoolbags and go back. I'll write you a note for leave."
During school hours, students need to write a note from the teacher if they want to go out.
"Teacher...thank you!" the two boys said with their heads lowered. "I want to go back and see a doctor."
The two boys understood Su Jin's intention and followed her excuse.
"I feel groggy when I wake up in the morning," echoed the little boy on the right.
The students turned to look at the three people, and the class monitor hurriedly comforted them.
"Teacher Su has written a note for leave. I will tell the head teacher that you two should go back and see a doctor as soon as possible. It will be troublesome if you have a fever." The class monitor was also a little anxious.
Recently, several students in the school have delayed their medical treatment and have been hospitalized. One of them even dropped out of school, saying that he would return to school after he recovered.
On the first day of school, Su Jin taught the first-year students to care for each other. Under Su Jin's influence, the children became more helpful to each other.
Students who knew about the situation told the two to rest at home if they had a fever.
"The get out of class will be over in 5 minutes. The monitor is watching the students do their homework at the podium. After class, collect the homework and ask the class representative to send it to my office." Su Jin asked the two children to pack their schoolbags. She went to the office to get the car keys and schoolbags, and told Yunfeng about going out.
Yun Feng sighed and said, "You'd better talk to Minister Lu. The family situations of these two children are complicated."
"The two children are sick, and I just want to send them back safely." Su Jin didn't want to complicate things, so she didn't go home and just sent the two of them to their doorstep.
Yunfeng packed her things and prepared to go with Su Jin.
The two male teachers retreated into hiding. They valued their reputation and knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm. They always said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
"Sister-in-law, let's go." Yunfeng packed up her things and the two of them left the office directly.
At the corner of the corridor, two children were talking with red eyes. Su Jin and Yun Feng saw that the get out of class was about to end, so they asked the two to wait for them in a small store not far from the school.
Yunfeng and Su Jin also prepared to follow on foot. As they walked across the main road in front of the school, they heard the school bell ringing.
The two teachers stood on the left and right, sandwiching the two children in the middle.
"Teacher Su, will we...get you into trouble?" Both children were 11 years old and understood the complexity of the situation.
They were extremely careful when going to school every day, fearing that someone might be watching their home.
"No, your foreheads are so hot. Go home and ask your parents to take you to the hospital. Don't delay." Su Jin heard from the eighth grade teacher that a student had dropped out of school and the parents even complained that the teacher did not take good care of the child.
The two students were silent. Their parents were busy outside and had no time to care about them.
"Do you have any fever-reducing medicine at home?" Yun Feng looked at their reactions and could only ask, "If not, I'll go to a pharmacy far away to buy some for you."
Yunfeng just touched their hot foreheads and agreed with Su Jin that the two were indeed sick.
"Teacher...we don't have any money." The two children looked at each other and said, "My parents wanted to save our grandfathers, so they took all the money away from home a long time ago."
"Teacher will buy it for you. When you have a job and earn money, you can return it to the teacher, okay?" When Su Jin heard this, she wanted to give the two children hope of survival.
By the end of the year, things will definitely be worse, and the darkest two years are coming.
Their situation is not good, and they may go to the farm with their families. Without the support of faith, they may lose their faith early.
"Okay!" The two children nodded in agreement.
Su Jin and Yun Feng took their two children to the clinic, which was affiliated with the county hospital. People would come here directly for treatment if they had minor illnesses or disasters.
"The two children have had a fever for two days. Why did you bring them here just now?" The doctor thought they were the children's mothers.
"Doctor, these two are our teachers..." the two children told the doctor.
The doctor looked at them apologetically and said, "I thought... you were their mothers. I'm sorry, these two children have high fevers. I'm prescribing four days of fever-reducing medicine. If the fever persists for four consecutive days, they'll need to be admitted to the hospital. Many children who catch colds have these symptoms. Delaying treatment for too long will not be good for the children."
Yun Feng nodded: "I will tell the parents."
The two children received fever-reducing injections and antipyretic medicine before leaving the clinic.
"This is the hospital's price list. Teacher Su and I are waiting for you to earn money to pay off the debt. You are not allowed to use the parents' money to pay it back." Yun Feng saw Su Jin's intention and wanted to help them.
"Yes, Teacher Yun and Teacher Su." The two children nodded in agreement.
They sent the children to the entrance of the alley. When they arrived at the two children's home, Su Jin found that it was not far from Mr. Peng's residence.
"Teacher, we're going home." The two children pushed open the door and said goodbye to them.
"Go back and take your medicine carefully. Put the medicine in your pocket. I'll give you four White Rabbit candies each. Eat candy after you take the medicine. The teacher is waiting for you to come back for class." Su Jin stuffed four White Rabbit candies into each of them.
After the children closed the gate of the yard, Su Jin and Yun Feng turned around and left. Su Jin felt a little heavy-hearted.
"These two children may not come back." Su Jin said in a low voice.
"It's very close to Elder Peng's compound?" Yun Feng suddenly realized. "Let's see what happens. These four days should be crucial."
