Chapter 260 Winter Vacation Begins!
Like Bai Lusheng, Sun Lijun shifted the blame for Bai Xue's severing ties with them onto Jia Hongmei.
She hated Jia Hongmei to the core, and seeing her son beat her until her head bled gave her a sense of vengeful pleasure. She had no intention of intervening in the fight.
What can a 6-year-old child like Bai Xiaopeng do? He can only sit on the ground and wail loudly.
His eldest sister, Bai Qiufeng, had long been married. Bai Qiufeng didn't have a good relationship with her family and rarely came back home.
A dozen minutes later, Bai Lusheng got tired and stopped, spitting on Jia Hongmei's head while panting.
"You bitch, you're a jinx to the Bai family!"
Such beatings and scoldings would happen every three to five days.
~~ ...
Time flies, and January 30th is fast approaching, marking the start of winter break.
On the last day, Lin Shanshan divided the inventions of teachers and students into rewards and settled accounts. Everyone will leave school tomorrow and return on February 26.
Xu Pan'er dawdled as she arrived at the principal's office, raising her hand high before gently lowering it, never quite daring to knock on the door.
Principal Lin is such a kind person; I wonder if my request will cause her any trouble.
"Excuse me, is there something you need?" Li Duomei returned to the office and saw Xu Pan'er hesitating.
"I...I want to see Principal Lin," Xu Pan'er said timidly.
Li Duomei remembered her; she was from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. That day, when she led the police officers to find Lin Shanshan, this classmate was with Dr. Zhao and could be considered one of Dr. Zhao's most outstanding students.
"Come in." Li Duomei pushed open the door and led Xu Pan'er inside.
"Principal Lin, this student has something to discuss with you." Li Duomei addressed Principal Lin respectfully in front of outsiders.
Lin Shanshan was writing a program called "Rabbit Rabbit" and looked away from the computer screen.
He rubbed his eyes, and his thick, long eyelashes trembled as he massaged them, tickling Lin Shanshan's hands.
A few seconds later, Lin Shanshan felt her eyes had recovered slightly before she looked at Xu Pan'er.
"Xu, sit down and talk." Lin Shanshan had an excellent memory. This female classmate was the most capable student in Teacher Zhao's class, and her name was Xu Pan'er. Judging from the name, she must have elders in her family who favored boys over girls.
Xu Pan'er was flattered and carefully sat on the chair, only daring to sit on a third of the area, with her hands on her knees.
"Principal Lin, can I continue to live at the school during the winter break?"
Xu Pan'er was too embarrassed to speak up. A few days ago, her father wrote to her, telling her not to go home, or her grandmother and mother would marry her off.
A woman should marry when she comes of age, and her father couldn't very well stop her from getting married. Besides, he didn't want to argue with her grandmother right before the New Year.
The only thing we can do is let Xu Pan'er stay in Haishi, and hide there for as long as possible.
Lin Shanshan thought for a while, and out of concern, asked Xu Pan'er, "Why don't you go home?"
Xu Pan'er blushed and said, "If I go back, my grandma and my mom will make me get married. I don't want to get married. I still want to study. But I'm all alone and I definitely can't resist. So I can only ask Principal Lin to let me live at the school."
Lin Shanshan shook her head: "I'm worried about you staying in the dormitory alone. I won't be staying here during winter break either. There aren't as many security guards as usual; they only take turns on duty. Besides, the school cafeteria staff are all on holiday. Where will you eat?"
Upon hearing Lin Shanshan's answer, Xu Pan'er's eyes turned red with anxiety, and tears were about to spill over.
Lin Shanshan's heavenly voice rang out: "However, I can recommend you to work at Huaxia Pharmaceutical Factory during the winter break. Would you like to go? You'll have worker dormitories and meals provided."
"I'm willing, I'm willing," Xu Pan'er replied eagerly.
The effective drug for treating cancer was introduced through word of mouth by patients, and thanks to the foreign doctor at the People's Hospital, its discovery, efficacy, and clinical response were published in The Lancet. Now, there is a great demand for this drug both domestically and internationally.
Huaxia Pharmaceutical Factory is facing a mountain of orders. It's worth mentioning that the profits from overseas orders have also brought Lin Shanshan a substantial sum of money.
As for how much? You can guess for yourselves. I'm too lazy to write it. You can't please everyone, and I can't satisfy every reader no matter what I write. Hahaha.
The pharmaceutical factory is in dire need of workers, and Xu Pan'er studied this, so it's a perfect fit for her profession.
"Alright, Assistant Li, on the last day of this semester, I'd like to trouble you to take Xu Pan'er to the pharmaceutical factory to register."
Li Duomei smiled and said, "Of course, I'll take Xu there right away."
"Yes, that's hard work."
Xu Pan'er bowed deeply to Lin Shanshan and Li Duomei, her eyes filled with gratitude.
After the two left, Lin Shanshan glanced at the time; Gu Yiye should be back by now.
Tomorrow is January 31st, my birthday. I wonder if my husband remembers.
In front of Gu Yiye, Lin Shanshan had a bit of a girlish mentality. She didn't want to mention it, because the birthday wishes she received wouldn't be a surprise if she did.
So, Gu Yiye is a Libra, and I'm an Aquarius—a perfect match. No wonder they're so compatible, and so harmonious in that area too.
