Mother Ye's face flushed purple with shame. "We can't say it, it's just..."
"Just because you have a son at home, you can't take care of your daughter, right?" Xu Jing sneered.
"I don't have time to care about your family. I only know that Qin Chuan, that fool, was reluctant to eat or wear anything and worked hard to support your daughter's high school education. I won't count the money before junior high school. Just compensate me for the high school tuition."
"You're dreaming." Father Ye gasped, "You're asking us to pay for tuition just to get into a regular high school. That's impossible."
"It's unacceptable for parents to favor sons over daughters." Teacher Jia sighed and said, "Ye Ziqiu's grades have always been among the best in school. As long as she works hard, she will definitely be able to go to a good university. When she gets to university, she will earn money to repay her family."
"Bullshit." Father Ye spat.
As a father, didn't he know what kind of person Ye Ziqiu was? He didn't believe in the promise of rewarding him when he made money.
Today he would force his family members to jump off the building, and tomorrow he would sacrifice the lives of his entire family for his own future.
It sounds nice to say that the money she earns can support the family, but if you really let her go, won’t she run away when she grows up?
Father Ye sneered and said, "Whoever owes the money should go to him. It has nothing to do with us."
"Dad, why are you..." Ye's mother cried, "Zi Qiu is your daughter after all."
"I don't have a shameless daughter. Ask her if she ever came home during her three years of high school, and if she ever helped with farm work. Her brother still helps with farm work, but what about her? And you're still talking about favoring boys over girls? That's bullshit."
Father Ye finally saw clearly that this was not a little cotton-padded jacket, but was born to collect debts. "Don't study anymore, come back with me to farm and get married."
"I won't!" If Ye Ziqiu really went back, his life would be ruined.
Ever since she had read and gained a broader perspective, she had looked down on those rural women who worked as laborers. She was an educated woman, not a laborer, and she should have soared to the sky instead of being trapped in the impoverished and backward mountainous areas and living a life of mediocrity.
"Li Heng, are you satisfied with my life now?" Ye Ziqiu stared at him fiercely and subconsciously took a half step back. "Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go."
Of course, Ye Ziqiu didn't want to die. No ambitious person would accept their fate. She was simply risking her life to secure a better future.
She knew that if she jumped it would affect the fate of many people. Her teacher would definitely not let her do that, and her family would try to keep her for the sake of family affection.
She can get what she wants at a small price.
But she ignored the fact that if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
Because of inertia, she couldn't control her body and was about to fall.
She heard the sound of the wind, crying, and screaming. Just when she thought she was going to fall like a kite with a broken string, she saw Li Heng's huge face.
Li Heng grabbed her hand, and before she could say anything harsh to him, Li Heng's thug grabbed her waist. Amidst her screams, she was dragged up.
Before Ye Ziqiu could react, her mother ran over with tears in her eyes and hugged her tightly in her arms.
Ye Ziqiu stared at Li Heng blankly and asked subconsciously: "Why did you save me?"
They are enemies, aren't they?
Li Heng wished he was dead, he was destroying her reputation. Why did he save her?
Xu Jing smiled and said, "The money hasn't been paid back yet."
This sentence broke Ye Ziqiu's fantasy, and she fainted with a groan.
"Call an ambulance, an ambulance."
Teacher Jia looked at the brave young man with mixed feelings. "Your name is Li Heng?"
"Well. Teacher, I'm taking a leave of absence. If someone jumps off a building again next time, you'll have to solve it yourself. I can't help you." After saying that, Xu Jing left.
"Wait, classmate. I want to thank you on Ye Ziqiu's behalf." Because he kept his job, he was able to save his life.
"You're welcome. Teacher, just don't listen to Ye Ziqiu's nonsense. Also, have Ye Ziqiu write me an IOU when he wakes up and pay me back when he's able to."
Teacher Jia was speechless. "How much does she owe?"
"Fifty dollars."
"How much?" A teacher's monthly salary was only 500 yuan, and she owed 50 yuan to a student? Wouldn't this be a death sentence for the whole family?
"Just ask her yourself when she wakes up. If you don't pay, you can't go to school. Pay the money and then go to school." Those who owe money and don't pay it back are considered deadbeats, and they don't deserve sympathy no matter what the reason is.
As soon as Xu Jing got off the rooftop, he saw Qin Chuan waiting at the corner. He looked around as if waiting for someone. When he saw him, his eyes lit up and he said, "Li Heng, what's going on?"
"He's fine." Xu Jing said calmly, "He just fainted."
That's good. Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he noticed the subtle changes on Li Heng's face. "Are you angry?"
"No."
You are obviously angry, so why don't you want to tell the truth?
Qin Chuan was unhappy. "Why are you angry?"
"Because you care about her." Xu Jing added. "It seems she is still very important to you."
How could it not be important? After all, she is the girl who grew up with me.
"They're talking nonsense. Ziqiu isn't that kind of person." Qin Chuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He took a long time to utter a few words. "I believe her."
"Well, I was the one who leaked the news."
Qin Chuan was stunned. "Why?"
He couldn't understand why Li Heng, who was close to him, would bother Ye Ziqiu. "I don't want you two to quarrel."
"You won't understand even if I tell you, so go back."
"Wait, Li Heng, you say something." Qin Chuan is a stubborn donkey. He won't give up until he gets things clear.
"She hit you, and I was so angry." Xu Jing took advantage of the fact that no one was around and touched his face. "You are mine, how could I allow her to hit you?"
"Then you, you can't either..." Qin Chuan blushed and slapped his hand away.
Why does he feel disgusted when others touch his face, but shy when Li Heng touches him? Is it because he has a special relationship with him in his heart?
Xu Jing smiled as he walked. "She owed you money, and I wanted to teach her a lesson. I just told Hou Liang and the others that she owed you money, but I didn't expect the matter to escalate into something bigger and more outrageous."
"Not anymore."
"Are you blaming me?" Xu Jing sighed. After leaving the school gate, he dragged her into a small alley. "Are you blaming me for meddling in your business?"
"No, it's not." It's just because he has suffered a lot of grievances since he was a child, so he naturally thinks that these things are not a big deal and it's better to endure them if he can.
"Qin Chuan, I hope you can understand one thing: good people are often bullied."
Xu Jing didn't want Qin Chuan to become the Holy Father, he just hoped that Qin Chuan could be a little more selfish.
