Should I give you a compliment?
Dong Letian didn't understand Mo Yan's meaning at all. Hearing this, he was quite proud, and his eyes were really bright. "Originally, I thought that I shouldn't ask for a reward for being a good person. Mom, since you say so, can you give me a little reward?"
His expectant tone trailed off with an air of smug satisfaction.
The old lady followed behind, running back breathlessly.
She went to the school, found that her daughter had resolved the issue, and then left with her grandson.
Goodness, she huffed and puffed as she followed them back, only to find that the mother and son were having a decent chat.
In the past, this might have seemed normal, but now... her daughter is... well, why is she suddenly being so good to her grandson?
She really didn't quite believe it.
What reward do you want?
Mo Yan raised an eyebrow, walked to the side, and looked at the stick.
"Hmm, I'll just ask for any game console."
The game consoles nowadays are rectangular with only a few buttons. You can play games like block games, and they cost five yuan each.
"You want a game console?"
Mo Yan grabbed the stick and struck him directly with it.
Dong Letian: "???"
Dong Letian's legs were instantly broken; Mo Yan really went all out this time.
"I asked you to help others for pleasure, but is this what you call helping others for pleasure?"
Dong Letian was beaten and howled, touching his feet and wailing like a banshee.
"Mom, what are you doing? Why did you hit me? The teacher said it was all a misunderstanding, and Li Xingyun's mother apologized to me."
The matter has already been resolved, so why are they still beating him like this?
"Do you really think you're not wrong?"
"Where did I go wrong?" Dong Letian asked, puzzled. He really felt that he hadn't done anything wrong.
"Do you know that if I hadn't gone there today, you would have been charged with robbing people, and you would have been fired? What do you think you would be like then?"
Mo Yan then learned the reason why Dong Letian was expelled in his previous life.
In her past life, the old lady went to the school. When she saw that her grandson had admitted it, she assumed that her grandson had really done it, so she immediately gave him money to compensate him and apologized profusely.
In the end, the school expelled Dong Letian.
Back home, the two of them didn't say anything. When the original owner asked what had happened, the old lady immediately protected him.
"I..." Dong Letian was stunned by the question. He hadn't thought about it. "I hadn't thought about it. I just thought that I must help her. In time, this matter would pass."
At first, there will definitely be people pointing fingers and gossiping behind his back, but he's not afraid. He'll beat up anyone who dares to say it to his face, and they'll be left with their teeth on the ground.
I think at most they'll just give a warning or something.
"You're really loyal, aren't you? Do you know what the teacher said? If I hadn't gone today and you had admitted it, you would have been expelled and would never be able to attend any school again."
A student with a blemish on their record, what future do you think you have? Probably only able to work on a construction site, right? Oh, no, maybe your grandma will dote on you and let you sponge off her for a few more years. And then what? What will you do? Go out to work, or stay home and farm? Do you think you can handle it?”
Mo Yan didn't talk to him about right or wrong, but only about the most practical issues.
What is he supposed to do after being fired?
"No, it can't be that serious, can it?" It's just helping someone take the blame.
"I don't know what's in your head that you could do something like this. Do you even know that robbery is illegal? You've admitted to robbing, do you think you can get away with it unscathed?"
Besides, that girl only lost some money; she could have just talked to her parents. Why did you do something so stupid? Do you think she'll be grateful to you? Even if she is, she has a bright future ahead of her, and what about you? What do you have? Or do you really think that because of your foolishness and self-righteous attempt to help, she'll like you and stay with you forever?
If he really had such a foolish idea, would Mo Yan just want to throw him out?
Dong Letian was flustered, his face turned red, and he didn't know where to put his hands. He felt embarrassed that his secret had been exposed.
"You don't really think that way, do you? You're the one who's willing to bear this lie, so you should bear all the consequences yourself. Why should someone put their whole life on your shoulders? What do you have that's worth putting on someone else's shoulders?"
That young lady will have a bright future; she'll go to university and get a good job. At the very least, she'll find someone of equal social standing, someone with whom she can share common interests. And what do you have at that time? She'll be discussing poetry and literature with you, and you'll be asking her, "Are you carrying bricks on a construction site?"
When someone asks you when you're going to buy a house, do you tell them the steel bars are measured in meters?
When someone tells you about the brand of their clothes, do you tell them that the cement is very expensive?
Do you think you two will be from the same world?
For some reason, when his mother was saying these things, that image really popped into his mind: when that girl was chatting with him, all he could think about were steel bars, cement, and bricks.
He said he wanted to buy something nice, but what he was really thinking about was that he didn't have enough money for this month's rent.
This scene is truly terrifying; it feels like you're actually there.
In the end, they didn't end up together because the girl thought their values were incompatible and they were from different worlds.
Even if that girl is extremely grateful to you because of this and ends up being with you, won't you feel that all your misfortunes are caused by her when you're feeling down? Won't you turn the foolish decision you willingly made now into an excuse for complaining about your unhappiness in life later?
Perhaps he's willing now, but what about later? After he's expelled, will he feel that all his misfortunes were caused by that girl? Will he feel that all his future hardships were sacrifices made for her?
"Maybe it was just a casual remark, and the girl was too scared at the time, so she just blurted out a name. It could have been you or someone else, but you just admitted it directly. You think you're great, you think you've made a sacrifice, but in reality, you're just a fool."
The girl didn't ask you to do anything, but you presumptuously took on all the responsibilities. You thought you were being a hero, saving a damsel in distress, and now you feel she's wronged you. You think if she doesn't stay with you, it's because you sacrificed yourself for her.
Li Xingyun was Dong Letian's wife in his previous life. They were together and argued constantly.
Dong Letian's most frequent saying was, "I had such good grades back then, but I was expelled because of you."
In reality, all of this was his own wishful thinking and cleverness.
