Chapter 468 Writing an IOU
The old man switched seats with Wang Weimin sitting opposite him, picked up the book that Su Xiaoxiao had just finished reading, and casually flipped through a page.
After seeing the content above, the old man looked at the confident female comrade opposite him, paused, and turned down two pages.
He cleared his throat and said, "Given that the angles of a triangle are 3, 4, and 5 three times, determine whether the triangle is a right triangle."
Wang Weimin frowned slightly. Why did this old man ask such a question? Wasn't this supposed to be about theorems from the textbook? Besides, many students usually made mistakes with this question because they confused "conditions" with "conclusions."
The old lady next to her was completely confused. She was illiterate and couldn't understand, but it didn't matter. Looking at the serious expression on the face of the teacher opposite her, she guessed that the question was not simple, so that was enough.
As long as she could humiliate this little girl, she would feel comfortable.
Just as I was waiting to see Su Xiaoxiao make a fool of herself, I heard Su Xiaoxiao speak slowly: "32+42=9+16=25=52, which satisfies a²+b²=c². According to the converse of the Pythagorean theorem, this triangle is a right triangle, and 5 is the hypotenuse."
Su Xiaoxiao thought this question was very simple and thought the old man was giving her a break on purpose, so she smiled at him gratefully.
Who knew that after listening to her, the old man was a little shocked, and then he picked a few more at random, and Su Xiaoxiao answered them one by one smoothly.
Finally, the old man looked at Su Xiaoxiao with admiration in his eyes and immediately applauded and praised: "Good, good, really good."
Even Wang Weimin was shocked.
I didn’t expect that Comrade Su actually remembered what he said.
Not only did he remember it but he could also apply it flexibly on the spot. His learning ability is simply amazing.
In all his years of teaching, he has never seen such a smart student.
In time, this little girl's future will be limitless.
The old woman didn't understand what the two people were saying, but she vaguely realized from the astonished looks of the people around her that something might be wrong.
"Ouch~ My stomach hurts so much, it hurts so much, I have to go to the bathroom quickly."
As he said this, he pulled out his bag from under the seat and was about to run.
The next moment, a small hand grabbed her arm and said, "Grandma, I'm willing to accept the loss. You're not going to default on your debt, are you?"
How come this damn girl reacts so quickly?
"Look at what you said, girl. I'm not that kind of person. I just have a stomachache and need to go to the bathroom. Wait a moment. I'll definitely give you money when I come back from the bathroom."
She immediately tried to run away, but Su Xiaoxiao grabbed her arm and showed no intention of letting go.
"What are you doing, little comrade? I'm about to poop in my pants, why don't you let go? I told you I'd come back for you. My seat is still here, and I'll definitely come back."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and stretched out her hand to her: "Grandma, then give me the money first, and then you can go."
"I can't hold it in any longer. I'll definitely give it to you later..."
As he said that, he broke free from Su Xiaoxiao's hand and walked out quickly. After taking two steps, he found that the bag in his hand seemed to be grabbed by someone.
I turned around and saw this damn girl again. Was she going to stop?
The old woman was so angry that she almost vomited blood: "I already said I would give it to you, why are you still not done? There are so many people watching, I will definitely not run away, don't worry."
"Grandma, that's not what I meant. Look, the toilet is so small. It's inconvenient for you to carry so many things. I'll help you watch it. Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on it for you."
Old woman: “…”
This damn girl just wanted to take the opportunity to run away with the bag. Anyway, she would arrive at the station soon. She would hide in the toilet for a while and get off the bus directly. This girl would not be able to find her even if she wanted to.
Wang Weimin, who was standing nearby, also reacted and joined in: "Auntie, Comrade Su is right, just put your things here. There are so many of us here, your things will definitely not get lost."
Old woman: Is this a question of whether or not things can be thrown away?
She wants to run away, hey!
In front of so many people, it seems that I can't run away.
She could only pretend to go to the bathroom, and came back to try to play the emotional card with Su Xiaoxiao.
"Girl, look, I was just joking with you. There's no need to take it so seriously, right? I admit that you're a talented student, better than my grandson. But you see, my family is poor, and I really can't afford this money..."
Now that things have come to this, considering her age, this little girl should feel embarrassed to continue asking her for the ten dollars, right?
Just as I thought of this, I heard Su Xiaoxiao say, "Grandma, do you mean to default on your debt?"
Old woman: “…”
Before she could speak, people around her started talking.
"It was this old lady who initiated the bet just now. What? Now that she's lost, she wants to deny it? She's too shameless at her age."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he's trying to take advantage of his seniority and then go back on his word. How rude of him."
"That's right. If it was the girl who lost, would she still say that? Isn't it just because she thinks she's young and easy to bully?"
A group of people were filled with righteous indignation and blamed the old lady.
The old woman's face was gloomy. She endured it again and again, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao pitifully: "Girl, grandma really has no money. How about this, I only have two dollars on me, and I'll give them both to you..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard someone say next to him.
"Hey, isn't this the mother of Secretary Zhang from our village? She's always looking down on everyone. What? Secretary Zhang fell from power? And she's crying poor."
"Hey, you're right, it's true, young comrade. Don't be fooled by this old woman. Her son is a secretary for a big boss, and their family is very well off. How could they not even come up with ten dollars?"
Su Xiaoxiao was a little hesitant just now, worried that the old lady's family was really in financial difficulty. After all, she didn't expect to get rich with these ten dollars, she just wanted to teach the old lady a lesson.
Who knew this old woman would be so unsportsmanlike?
"Grandma, you were the one who proposed this bet. Your son is a leader after all, so why is he so rude? If this gets out, it will have a bad impact on your son."
The old woman hated to hear others talk about her son. In her eyes, her son was a very promising man, the best in the whole area.
"What are you talking about, girl? I didn't say I'd regret it. I just don't have that much money right now. What's wrong with giving you some first?"
The old woman spoke confidently, reaching into her pocket and taking out two dollars and slapping them into Su Xiaoxiao's hand: "I'll give you two dollars first, and I'll write you an IOU for the rest."
"Okay, then write down your contact address and name on the IOU. Don't write anything random. There's someone from your hometown on this bus. I need to find someone to verify..."
The old woman gnashed her teeth and said, "Write it if you want. I can't read. You write it for me and I'll put my fingerprints on it."
Why is this damn girl so difficult to deal with? But it doesn't matter if she writes it down. She just heard that this girl is a salesperson at the Binhe City Department Store. It's impossible for her to run so far to her house to collect the debt, right?
