Chapter 102 Drop out? Help
The Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief after the issue of the old house was resolved.
In the next few days, Zhang Wanwan could finally do her summer homework at home with peace of mind. Occasionally, she would make an appointment with Leng Ziyue to study at the city library, and she would bring him lunch boxes. Her life was simple and fulfilling.
On this day, the two were doing homework in the city library. Zhang Wanwan's cell phone QQ suddenly kept ringing, forcing her to stop and take a look. Leng Ziyue had already opened his cell phone QQ.
Zhang Wanwan took a quick look and saw that it was Su Ranran calling a male classmate in the group. She frowned slightly, "I remember Zhang Xianghong was always very hardworking in his studies. How could he miss such an important thing as filling out the application form?"
Leng Ziyue, who was standing beside him, fell into deep thought and said, "Maybe I can guess the reason."
"What?" Zhang Wanwan looked over curiously.
Leng Ziyue revealed the address of a hospital ward in the group, and there were continuous questioning expressions below.
Su Ranran asked directly: "Leng Ziyue, what do you want to express?"
Zhang Wanwan also asked: "Could it be that Zhang Xianghong is sick?"
Leng Ziyue shook his head and replied in the group: "I saw him in the hospital. Maybe something happened at home."
The group fell silent. Zhang Wanwan didn't say anything. She turned around and asked, "Do you know what happened in his family?"
Leng Ziyue shrugged, "I'm not familiar with him, how would I know? It's just that I often saw him in the hospital during this period, but he didn't notice me."
Zhang Wanwan: “?”
"Do you hang out outside the hospital often?" Zhang Wanwan asked curiously, earning a roll of the eyes from Leng Ziyue. "I just sit in the garden downstairs in the morning and watch people. He goes to the inpatient department and comes in and out frequently, so I can see him. He goes in and out of the hospital at that time, usually to keep watch. If his family wasn't in trouble, why would a student like him go in and out of the hospital so frequently?"
Zhang Wanwan felt that what Leng Ziyue said made sense, so she smiled awkwardly and shut up.
After a while, Luo Jingyun's message came. When Zhang Wanwan saw it, her face became more solemn.
"What's wrong?" Leng Ziyue asked worriedly.
Zhang Wanwan handed him her phone and said, "Jingyun said they contacted Zhang Xianghong. Zhang Xianghong said he might drop out next semester, so he didn't fill out his application. Tang Lang has a good relationship with Cai Long and Zhang Xianghong, and often copies his homework. He said he wanted to go to the hospital. I guess they thought Zhang Xianghong was sick. Jingyun also wanted to go with him. She asked me if I wanted to go. Do you think I should go?"
"Go if you want to go." Leng Ziyue lowered his eyes and said. Based on his understanding of Zhang Wanwan, even if she didn't go now, she might go in two days.
After Leng Ziyue said this, Zhang Wanwan immediately sent a message to Luo Jingyun.
After two days of packing up, they left the city library. The sun was still very strong outside. Zhang Wanwan was riding a bicycle while holding an umbrella, but she couldn't go fast at all. Leng Ziyue tried to match her speed and rode like a turtle.
Look at him basking in the sun yet still looking fair and tender, it really makes people envious and jealous!
When the two arrived at the hospital, they met up with Luo Jingyun and the others. Seeing the fruits they were carrying, Zhang Wanwan leaned over to Luo Jingyun's ear and said, "We'll split the cost when the time comes."
Luo Jingyun glanced at her in reproach. "Don't worry about it. These were brought over by Mantis' family. They do fruit wholesale. How could they possibly let us share the cost?"
Zhang Wanwan choked and was speechless.
The group entered the ward Leng Ziyue mentioned, and were all surprised when they saw Zhang Xianghong. At this time, Zhang Xianghong also noticed them, stood up in shock and asked, "Why are you here?"
Tang Lang led a group of people and went in to say hello to Zhang Xianghong's mother who was lying on the bed.
After everyone exchanged greetings for a while, Zhang Xianghong went to the corridor to talk with them.
Tang Lang asked seriously, "What do you mean by dropping out of school?"
"Yes, Zhang Xianghong, you have good grades and you are in No. 1 Middle School. If you persist for another two years, you will be able to take the college entrance examination, and you have a great chance of entering a good university. Why do you want to give up?" Luo Jingyun asked puzzledly.
Zhang Xianghong lowered his head and tears suddenly started to fall, but he was stubborn and didn't cry.
Everyone felt uncomfortable seeing him like this and waited quietly for his answer.
After a while, Zhang Xianghong murmured, "I also want to continue studying and pursue my dream, but my mother can't wait any longer. She is seriously ill and needs surgery, which costs 200,000 yuan. I come from a single-parent family, and my mother is the only one who can barely support my studies. Now that my mother is sick, we can't even afford the medical expenses. What will happen to my mother if I don't go out to earn money?"
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment. They knew that Zhang Xianghong's family was not easy, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult.
For a moment, a group of inexperienced students didn't know how to persuade him. This matter was beyond their ability.
Zhang Wanwan thought about her past life and knew that even a penny could make a hero fall. After leaving the hospital, she discussed with Luo Jingyun, "Why don't we help Zhang Xianghong raise funds?"
"Fundraising?" Tang Lang and others who were walking in front all stopped and looked at Zhang Wanwan.
Zhang Wanwan nodded and said, "It is fundraising, but we are not doing it for free. You know my family runs a stall. I will discuss it with my parents when I get home. We will set up a stall in another square and write about selling fruit tea to raise funds to save people. Next to it, write about Zhang Xianghong's family situation, but you can hide Zhang Xianghong's name. Talk to Teacher Su about leaving a school phone number and have them call to confirm, so that they won't accuse us of fraud. It's summer now, and I think we should be able to raise a lot of money."
"I think this method is feasible. I'll call Teacher Su now." Tang Lang excitedly took out his cell phone and made a call.
Cai Long and others also expressed their willingness to help.
The group discussed the details before separating.
Leng Ziyue always stays by Zhang Wanwan's side silently, watching her make plans. For some reason, he feels that Zhang Wanwan is so cute.
Because she is selling fruit tea, Zhang Wanwan plans to buy lemons directly in bulk. The cost of making lemon tea will be much lower. Then she can sell it a little more expensive in the name of fundraising, which should be no problem.
The stalls and other things were left to Cai Long and his team.
The next morning, Luo Jingyun came to her house to help. Seeing that Zhang Wanwan had almost prepared everything, she quickly helped move it downstairs. The two of them rode the tricycle sponsored by Zhang's father to the place Cai Long had agreed on.
When they arrived, Cai Long and others had already put up banners and signs for raising funds to save people. Since everyone was wearing the No. 1 Middle School uniform, no one suspected them. Some people had already donated money before the fruit tea was served.
After the fruit tea was served, Zhang Wanwan took out the big loudspeaker that her family used before and started playing it over and over again, while Tang Lang and his colleagues took the flyers to promote the product nearby.
