Later, after we got to know each other better, I found out that the female classmate actually lived near mine.
Her family is well off and they don't have a house in the city, but her mother rented a house near my house so that she could go to school with them.
Her mother is a full-time housewife who spends a lot of time with her, which has also helped her develop a simple personality.
Since we knew that our two families lived very close, we went home together after class. In order to adapt to the life in a public school and not enjoy the special treatment of rich people, I usually rode a bicycle to and from school.
She can also ride a bicycle, but her family didn't buy one for her. Since we live nearby, I just ride my bike to take her home. Occasionally, when I get tired of riding, she takes over and takes me.
After two or three months, my parents knew about her and that they lived nearby. They would often visit her, cooking delicious meals for her.
After school, we often do homework together. If we don't go home, we basically stay at each other's house. Sometimes my parents are busy and are afraid that I will be bored at home alone, so they will ask me to go to her house for dinner. Of course, my parents will also pay her mother.
Her mother was not pretentious. She took the money and did her job honestly and simply. She took good care of me when my parents were busy.
One day after class, it was her turn to ride her bike to take me home, and we chatted about the example questions that the teacher demonstrated in class today.
She suddenly asked me, "Xinxin, do you still remember Zhu Zhanpeng?"
If you didn't mention this name, I would have almost forgotten it. I could never remember his last name before, but when I suddenly heard this name, I immediately remembered who he was.
I just don't know why she asked this question.
"Remember? What happened to him? Didn't he come to me and say he didn't want poverty assistance? So I didn't ask my family to remove it from him."
She sighed and said, "It was because of the poverty subsidy that some classmates who were jealous of him deliberately found some second-rate people outside the school to rob him during the holidays. He was robbed several times. You said that the poverty subsidy was also sent directly to his family, so why did they target him?"
Is there such a thing?
I frowned as I sat in the back seat of the car. How could I attract other people's attention just by sponsoring a poor student?
They were all born in poverty, so what is there to be unhappy about?
"Mimi, do you know who they are?" Although I don't want to meddle in other people's business, my mother said that children are the flowers of the motherland. Even if they make mistakes, as long as they are not intentional and serious mistakes, they are worthy of forgiveness.
What's more, Zhu Zhanpeng didn't do anything wrong, he just made me dislike him.
She shook her head. "I don't know the details. He didn't tell me much. I've been with you lately, haven't I? I talk to him less. He's so pitiful. No one in his class wants to play with him."
Speaking of this, I find it very strange.
There are always a few poor students in every class. Not all families are rich these days. If someone looks down on him, that may be that person's problem.
However, when there are so many people in a class and no one wants to play with him, I don’t think that Zhu Zhanpeng may have some problems with his personality or character.
If my guess was wrong, I would apologize to him in my heart.
"Mi Mi, I don't like him very much. Don't mention him in front of me anymore."
"Well, actually I'm not saying anything to help him. He and I grew up together, and I feel that he is quite pitiful."
Mimi has a simple personality and is particularly sympathetic. She will cry when she sees cats and dogs being bullied.
She was riding a bicycle and I was sitting on the back seat, and for a while neither of us spoke.
Suddenly, the bicycle jolted and I subconsciously jumped off the side. Mimi didn't hold the handlebars steady and crashed directly into the garbage pile on the side of the road.
"Mimi! Are you okay?" I quickly ran over and helped her up.
She shook her head. "It's okay, it's okay, I just think my foot is a little sprained."
"I'm glad you're okay. I'll ask my mom to find some good medicated oil to rub your feet when we get back." I helped her sit on a rock. "Wait for me to pick up the bike first. I'll take you home today."
Just when I was about to pick up the bicycle, a few men with colorful hair stopped me.
"Hey, little sister, your family is quite rich. They even bought you a bicycle? My brothers don't have enough money. Can you lend me some?"
They...are so ugly...
I remember my mother taught me that if I encountered some bad boys who tried to rob me of my money, I must not resist, but give them as much money as they wanted and tell them about it when I got home.
I calmly put my schoolbag down from my back, opened the hidden pocket where I put my money, took out the small purse my mother made for me and handed it to them, "All my pocket money is here, take it and leave quickly, otherwise this place is close to my home and the neighbors are all acquaintances, you won't be able to escape if you are seen."
"You're quite smart, guys. Come back tomorrow and prepare the money, so as not to embarrass everyone."
They took the purse and left.
You are really brave.
On the way back, Mimi sat in the back seat of the car, and I felt that her hands were shaking as she pulled my clothes.
Her voice was trembling. "What should we do, Xinxin? I heard from Zhu Zhanpeng that he was entangled by this kind of people and they have robbed him of a lot of money. Why don't you go home and talk to your parents? Your parents are so powerful, they can definitely help you solve the problem."
Hmm? It's Zhu Zhanpeng again. Why does it feel a little strange?
I hope I'm overthinking it.
I sent Mimi home and told her mother that we would not eat here that night. Then I immediately went home and called my father.
Why did I call my dad? Because I knew my mom was not at home during that time. She went out of town. And given how much my dad dotes on me, there was no way this matter could be put off until tomorrow.
Sure enough, someone came to visit our house just after dark.
It seemed like the man had calculated the time for my dad to come back. He came as soon as my dad came back.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou." My father walked up to him and extended his hand to greet him.
But he slapped her away with a slap. "You just got out of the army. Your business is getting bigger and bigger, so you start to act pretentiously, right?"
"How dare I? I have something to ask of you." My dad exchanged a few pleasantries with him, then turned around and called out to me, "Xingxing, pour some tea for uncle."
I quickly went to pour tea and listened to them talking outside about how I was robbed today.
"We've captured a few little brats. They're not even 18 years old yet. They'll tell you everything if they're locked up for one night."
I heard my dad say, "Aren't the parents of those kids worried? They let you stay like this all night?"
