Su Li nodded. These people can all testify for me.
Yuan Shuo frowned; he didn't believe Su Jiaojiao would take someone else's money.
"Jiaojiao, explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?"
Su Jiaojiao shook her head. She couldn't explain it clearly now. Even if she didn't take the money, she had to admit it.
She had never felt so frustrated in her life.
Five hundred yuan is indeed a lot of money now, but it will be nothing to her in the future.
She couldn't risk going to the police station for a mere 500 yuan, as it would affect her college entrance exams and could even lead to jail time. She couldn't afford to gamble.
Su Li isn't reporting her now because she also hit someone.
"Uncle, please don't ask anymore, okay? Just consider the five hundred yuan a loan to you, okay? I'll pay you back as soon as I have the money."
Seeing that Su Jiaojiao was so sad, he wouldn't let him ask.
Could it be that Jiaojiao really stole someone else's money?
"This is five hundred yuan. Have you thought it through?"
Su Jiaojiao nodded; "Uncle, I beg you, please consider it a loan."
"But I only have two hundred yuan on me right now."
As he spoke, he took out a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to Su Jiaojiao.
Su Jiaojiao handed the money to Su Li; "I'll try to raise the remaining three hundred in the next couple of days, is that alright?"
"Okay! But you have to write an IOU first, otherwise what if you try to renege on the debt later?"
"You...I'm not that kind of person at all."
Su Li scoffed, "You dare to steal money, who knows if you'll renege on your debts?"
Su Jiaojiao was furious with Su Li. Not only did she have to take the blame and pay back the money, but she also had to be humiliated by Su Li in front of so many people.
"Fine, I'll write it!"
Lu Huai was also in the crowd. He looked at Su Li and said, "I have paper and pen at home. I'll go get them for you."
Su Li nodded; "Thanks."
Lu Huai turned and walked home, quickly returning with paper and pen. Su Li handed the paper and pen to Su Jiaojiao, saying, "You write it!"
Su Jiaojiao took the paper and pen and quickly finished writing.
She handed the IOU to Su Li, who took it and examined it carefully. Just as she was about to fold it, she heard Su Jiaojiao snort softly, "What are you pretending for? You can't even read. If you doubt my writing, you can just have someone else show it to you."
"So Su, the educated youth, can't read! I saw her studying very carefully just now, I never expected that she couldn't read a single character."
"He looks like a learned person, but I didn't expect him to be just like us."
Even the brigade leader was somewhat surprised; he looked Su, the educated youth, up and down, left and right, and she didn't seem illiterate at all.
“I may not have gone to school, but that doesn’t mean I can’t read. There’s no problem with the IOU here. I’ll come to collect the money from you the day after tomorrow.”
Su Jiaojiao was surprised that she actually knew her; the IOU stated that she would come to her to collect the money the day after tomorrow.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, the captain said to everyone, "Disperse! Su Jiaojiao, give the money to Su Li in time, and this matter will be over. As for the rest of you, those who are injured should go to the hospital."
Seeing the team leader about to leave, Dazhuang's older brother hurriedly said, "We can't just leave like this. This Su Jiaojiao is morally corrupt and dared to steal so much money. What good can our child learn under a teacher like that?"
Other parents with children chimed in, saying, "Yes! I also want to change teachers. What good is it if someone like that is so academically gifted? I don't want my child to learn to steal."
“I also oppose Su Jiaojiao continuing to teach. If you ask me, whoever ranked behind her in the last exam should be replaced directly.”
The captain thought they made sense, so he said, "Su Jiaojiao, you don't need to go to school starting today. I will settle your teaching work points and wages for this period of time with you, and Zhang Fan will make up for it starting tomorrow."
He remembered that Zhang Fan was the student who came after Su Jiaojiao in the last exam.
Zhang Fan was a little excited. He just saw everyone coming this way and came to join in the fun. He never expected that he would actually get a teaching position.
"Thank you everyone, I promise I will teach well, thank you all for giving me this opportunity."
As he spoke, he bowed to the crowd.
Yuan Shuo had intended to try again for Su Jiaojiao, since teaching was an easier job than working in the fields. But before he could speak, she grabbed his sleeve and shook her head at him.
She glared at him resentfully. So what if he's a teacher? Anyway, she'll be taking the college entrance exam soon.
So what if she gives it up? She can still study more in the dorm.
The captain glanced at Zhang Fan, and Ting was quite satisfied.
After letting everyone disperse, Su Mu looked at Yuan Shuo, who was supporting Su Jiaojiao.
This man looked so familiar. He limped towards Yuan Shuo and asked, "Are you Su Jiaojiao's uncle?"
Theoretically, Su Jiaojiao's uncle shouldn't be here. What kind of uncle is he?
Yuan Shuo looked at Su Mu standing beside him, who resembled him in his youth, and said, "Yes, I'm her uncle. And you are?"
Just as Su Mu was about to say that Su Jiaojiao was their adopted daughter, he heard Su Jiaojiao shout, "Uncle, my face hurts so much. Can you take me to the village doctor to get some medicine?"
"Okay, let's go now."
Without paying any more attention to Su Mu, he helped his niece walk outside.
Su Mu and Lin Zhaodi followed behind them, heading towards the village doctor.
When he arrived at the village doctor's, he saw three people whose heads were swollen like pigs' heads. He almost laughed, but he held it in.
Their faces were covered in handprints. The village doctor asked, "Did you three slap each other to get like this?"
The three men simply shook their heads and said nothing else.
Lin Zhaodi dared not say anything, fearing that if it reached Su Li's ears, she would be beaten up again.
