"Mom, I promise I'll be good from now on, so don't worry, okay?" Even if he doesn't care about his mother, he should care about himself.
Mo Yan blinked; she wasn't worried.
"I'm not worried."
Dong Letian: "..."
"Mom, I think I'll go to school tomorrow. I'll study hard from now on, okay?"
He'll definitely study hard; it's really terrifying at home.
"Hmm," Mo Yan responded faintly.
After receiving permission, Dong Letian was overjoyed and quickly went out to eat.
The next morning, the old lady was reluctant to part with her grandson, who was going to school and wouldn't be back for another month. It was really too hard for her.
Dong Letian ran into his cousin as soon as he arrived at school.
Dong Letian's cousin pulled him to a corner and asked, "Can you do me a favor?"
Dong Letian was a little confused. In the past, his cousin would act as if she didn't see him at all. What was wrong with her today?
Dong Lefei took out a lot of meal tickets from her bag.
It's important to know that these meal tickets are the only proof that they can eat in the cafeteria. Each person has a limited number of meal tickets. When school starts, parents pay the fees and receive meal tickets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you lose or lose them, you can't get replacements, and you'll have to go hungry. Furthermore, the price of these meal tickets is regulated; they're not very expensive, but they're not cheap either.
Some people would save their meal tickets and sell them to others in order to exchange them for money, but this was strictly prohibited at the school.
Dong Lefei didn't stand on ceremony and spoke directly to Dong Letian.
"I'm out of money, but I've been saving every penny. I hope you can do me a favor and sell all these meal tickets. I know you know a lot of people and have many friends, so I'm sure you can help."
That's what they said, but their tone wasn't very pleasant.
Seeing that Dong Letian did not answer, Dong Lefei spoke up, "You are the only boy in our family. If you don't help me, who will? Now that I'm in trouble, if you don't help me, I don't know who to turn to. I need money."
Why was Dong Letian so arrogant? Because Dong Letian's father had two brothers, and he was the eldest son.
He has always considered himself the eldest son and grandson.
"Cousin, do you know that this is strictly prohibited by the school? It can't be sold privately. Meal tickets—you eat all three meals at school, what do you need money for?"
Dong Lefei never expected that the fool Dong Letian would not agree.
They had always thought Dong Letian was stupid. As long as they said, "You are my brother, you are the hope of our family," he would always help them no matter what. But this time, he didn't help at all.
"I know, but I really need the money. I wouldn't have done this if I didn't need it, right? You're my brother, so are you going to help me or not?"
Dong Letian was almost ready to agree, but when he thought about what happened yesterday, he calmed down immediately.
It's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to save this leg.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but this is something that really can't be done. I promised my mom that I won't do anything against school rules again."
"Hey cousin, you should give up on that idea too. You'll get expelled if the school finds out. Getting into high school wasn't easy; don't give up on this hard-won opportunity."
Dong Lefei: "???" She actually got lectured by such trash?
"If you're not willing to help, I'll have to do it myself. Can you bear to watch something happen to me?"
Hearing this, Dong Letian understood. So his cousin was afraid that something would go wrong if he did it, which was why she pushed it onto him.
"So you mean you're not afraid I'll get into trouble? Cousin, I'm really impressed by your behavior. You're afraid of being discovered and expelled, but you want me to go?"
Dong Lefei felt embarrassed when her thoughts were exposed; that was indeed what she was thinking.
Anyway, someone as irresponsible as Dong Letian wouldn't figure it out. Besides, even if he did, so what? Could he possibly beat himself up? A spoiled idiot like him deserves to be fired.
"No, that's not what I meant. I just thought you have a lot of friends, so you'd definitely be able to get out without anyone noticing, right?"
If this had been said before, Dong Letian would have boasted that those weren't just my friends, but many of them, and so on. But at this moment, Dong Letian didn't react at all.
"I'm sorry, cousin, I won't do anything against school rules. You should try to find someone else to help."
He will no longer do things that are not worth the effort.
He didn't think his cousin needed to spend money on anything; her family was quite well-off.
"You...you always call yourself my brother, but when I needed your help, you didn't care about me at all. How can you call yourself my brother?"
Looking at the furious Dong Lefei, Dong Letian suddenly realized that he had been a complete fool.
“If I can help, I certainly will, but it’s not something I can do on a whim; that would be against school rules. If you need money, I can lend you some, but I absolutely cannot do something like that. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
At times, do they take it for granted that no matter what happens, he has to help them?
It seems he's done this more than once. Whenever they say they need help, he goes without hesitation, only to end up being the one who suffers.
Is this really proof of their sibling relationship?
At this moment, Dong Letian began to have doubts.
"If you don't help me, I'll disown you as my brother."
Just then, the fat man walked past them, looking at them with a puzzled expression. "Le Tian, the teacher wants you to go to the office, why haven't you gone yet?"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Dong Letian immediately followed the fat man away, while Dong Lefei stomped her foot in frustration behind him.
Not long after they left, the fat boy pulled Dong Letian back to the classroom.
"Liu Zhou, what are you doing?"
The fat man's name is Liu Zhou. Because he's a bit overweight, everyone calls him Fatty instead of by his name. "Weren't we supposed to be going to the office?"
Liu Zhou looked somewhat embarrassed and apologetically at Dong Letian, "I'm sorry, I only pulled you away in a hurry because I heard them talking about framing you."
Dong Letian: "???"
Dong Letian looked at Liu Zhou in shock, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
"That's right. The school has been investigating recently, and it seems they've made some progress on who's been selling meal tickets behind the scenes. They're just waiting to catch them red-handed."
