Li Xingyun immediately blushed and shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't mean that."
She felt that everyone's eyes were on them.
"So what do you mean? What's your purpose in casually mentioning my name?"
I was indeed a bit impulsive. I thought we were classmates, so I would help you. At worst, I would just get scolded by your parents.
As everyone knows, I'm that kind of person—outgoing and carefree. I'll rush to help anyone who says something; I think that's what loyalty is.
Are things that I, a mediocre student, don't understand, also things that this top student doesn't understand?
You can say you lost money and I found it, but you insist I robbed you.
I was stupid enough to admit it, thinking I could help you. But why didn't you tell the truth the moment you knew I was going to be expelled from school?
Dong Letian eats everything, but he never suffers a loss. He hadn't originally planned to bring this up in front of the whole class, but Li Xingyun insisted on bringing it up, so he decided to be impolite.
She's the one who's embarrassed; it has nothing to do with him.
“You…” Li Xingyun was even more embarrassed. She didn’t expect Dong Letian to reveal everything directly. “You’re a boy, and you… you don’t know how to take care of a girl at all.”
Looking at Li Xingyun like this, Dong Letian felt no sympathy at all, and instead asked a question directly.
"Why should I take care of you? Because I almost got fired for helping you, and you didn't say a word. If it weren't for my mother, would you have just watched me get fired?"
Dong Letian felt that it was very likely that Li Xingyun would just watch him get fired, otherwise why wouldn't he say a word?
"I...I'm just scared," Li Xingyun said, her eyes filled with tears. As the tears fell, she felt even more aggrieved. "I'm just so scared. I'm afraid that if my teachers and parents find out, they won't like me anymore."
You wouldn't understand, I have to be excellent, otherwise no one will like me.
I lost that money by accident. I didn't dare tell anyone I'd lost it, because if I did... I'd get beaten and scolded, since that money was for buying toys for my younger brother.
She has a younger brother. Her parents favored boys over girls and only cared about her brother, not her.
No matter how hard she tries or how outstanding she is, she can't earn a smile from her parents. Even if she gets first place and receives an award, they won't smile. On the contrary, as long as her younger brother passes, they can happily say that they want to go out for hot pot.
"Sometimes I don't understand why they are all their children. What will they do? If I get first place, they will only give me ten yuan at most, but if my younger brother gets 60 points, they can give him a lot of rewards."
I lost my money. If I tell them directly, they'll beat me when I get home and deduct my allowance.
I was terrified and panicked. I didn't know what to do, so I could only say that the money had been stolen. But I didn't expect that even so, they would still bring me to find the teacher. I had no choice but to give a random name.
Dong Letian, you yourself said that you are the most spoiled person in your family. I thought that even if you did something wrong, your family wouldn't blame you, so I..."
Well, it's quite pitiful.
Everyone felt sorry for her.
But in terms of empathy, there wasn't much.
The preference for sons over daughters is a product of this era, and this is the situation for most people. What she experienced is what everyone else experienced, so others won't think there's anything wrong with it.
It's normal for family members to favor the son and the younger child, isn't it? Even if you feel uncomfortable, there's nothing you can do. As for losing money and being beaten, isn't that normal too? If you want to lose money, then you won't lose money again after being beaten once.
Therefore, it's impossible for Li Xingyun to get everyone to sympathize with her, feel sorry for her, and thus blame Dong Letian.
"Yeah, I think you've really had a tough time, but what does that have to do with you framing me? Just because you'll get beaten up doesn't mean I have to get fired for you? What kind of logic is that?"
If you lost the money, it's because you were careless.
It's your fault for lying.
Of course, I have my own problems too. I act impulsively without considering the consequences. But you saw that I was going to be fired and didn't say anything, so you have a problem. How dare you come to me today?
You say it's about favoring sons over daughters, but which family doesn't prefer sons?
"In which family doesn't the older child take care of the younger one?" Well, his family is an exception; he has two younger sisters who take care of him.
Li Xingyun: "..."
Therefore, empathy should be given context. In this era, the preference for sons over daughters is generally accepted, and boys are considered more important. In such situations, it's perfectly normal for Li Xingyun to say he's pitiful and doesn't have any toys. Doesn't everyone have none?
Many students at their school don't have enough to eat, and can only eat one steamed bun every day at noon, but they don't complain about being miserable.
Some day students walk for several hours every day, drinking free porridge and pickled vegetables from the school. Isn't that fine?
You just don't have any toys!
Do you have snacks and soft drinks every day?
What else are you thinking about?
No one really understood what was wronging her.
When everyone else is starving, is it reasonable for you to complain that your braised pork doesn't have quail eggs?
Is it absurd for you to complain that you don't like orange soda when no one else has any?
While others were still relying on meal tickets to drink porridge in the cafeteria, she was already able to use money to buy food at the convenience store!
