Chapter 18: A man's mouth is deceiving
"Hou Li, how come I didn't know your daughter also attends this school?" Gao Meifeng looked at Su Houli with mixed feelings. Su Houli was speechless for a moment. Su Jiaojiao looked at Gao Meifeng: "Dad, who is this aunt?"
This was the first time Su Jiaojiao met Gao Meifeng.
In fact, she is not beautiful, she just dresses more fashionably. The cheap and pungent smell of perfume almost made her sneeze. This kind of woman may be suitable for dating, but definitely not suitable for marrying.
She didn't believe that Gao Meifeng could be like her mother Chen Guilan, who was the boss of the family and the fields, and took care of her mother-in-law wholeheartedly. Xu Yuxiang didn't even wash the dishes in their house.
A common problem among men is that they always think wild flowers are more fragrant than domestic flowers.
Once the novelty wears off, even the most beautiful woman will become a shrew.
Unfortunately, Su Houli cannot understand this now. He is content with what he has received. Everything has its cause and effect. What happened to him later was what he deserved and he does not deserve sympathy.
"I'm your father's colleague." Gao Meifeng's face turned cold.
"Since you two are colleagues, why does my dad have to report to you about my schooling?" Su Jiaojiao asked back. Xue Yuxin, who was standing next to Gao Meifeng, saw that Su Jiaojiao was not friendly and immediately stepped forward to support her, saying, "Of course not. Isn't it okay for colleagues to show some concern for each other?"
"Of course I can show some concern, but showing concern twice is too much." Su Jiaojiao's eyes grew colder as she dropped them on the large and small bags in Su Houli's hands and looked at him seriously. "Dad, I'm also reporting for work today and wanted you to come and see me off, but my mom said you were busy with work, so she didn't tell you. Who knew you weren't busy at all and even had time to send a colleague's child off for registration?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just on my way." Su Houli suppressed his anger and turned to Gao Meifeng and her daughter and said, "You go up first, I'll be there soon."
"Yuxin, let's go!" Gao Meifeng was obviously angry and pulled her daughter away. Men's words are lies. She knew that he had a daughter, but she always thought that his daughter had worked to earn money. Who knew that his daughter also studied in this school and was in the same class as her daughter.
"Uncle, we're waiting for you." Xue Yuxin turned around and smiled sweetly at Su Houli.
Su Jiaojiao frowned.
You're so young, yet you're so teasing?
"What are you doing?" Su Houli's true colors were revealed instantly, and he glared at Su Jiaojiao. "I already told you that I don't agree with you going to high school, so why are you so stubborn?"
"But I also said that I must go to this high school." Su Jiaojiao looked at him calmly. His suit was straight, his leather shoes were clean, and he was wearing a tie. A man in love was indeed different. "Dad, now we are not discussing whether I can go to school or not. We are discussing how to deal with the matter of you coming to the school without permission to expel me. Should we hand it over to the police station, or should we resolve it privately?"
Su Houli was so angry that his teeth itched. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Su Jiaojiao: "Dad, we are a family. I think it's better to solve this privately. Let's go to the office now to explain the situation and let it go. Otherwise, we can only let the police station handle it."
In matters like this, we must seize the initiative.
Su Houli’s weakness is his reputation in the unit, and only by grasping the weakness can the problem be solved.
"Jiao Jiao, it wasn't my intention to expel you from school. It was your aunt's." Su Houli got a headache when he heard about calling the police. He sold out Su Xiumei in a few words and didn't forget to add fuel to the fire. "Because of you, Liang Kun went home and had a quarrel with her. She thought Liang Kun was protecting you and that there was still a possibility between you and Liang Kun, so she didn't let you go to school."
He is telling the truth.
It was Su Xiumei who originally urged him to drop out of school.
If this matter becomes a big deal and affects his reputation, he will not agree.
"Dad, I'm your daughter. My schooling is our family's business. Why are you letting my aunt lead me around?" When Su Jiaojiao heard that this matter was related to Su Xiumei, she immediately stood on the same front with him. "I knew this was definitely not what you meant. You're not as mean as my aunt!"
"Then why did you call the police?" Su Houli didn't expect Su Jiaojiao to be so brave. She didn't seem like the little girl he had in mind. How could she go to the police station for such a small matter?
Wait, she said Su Xiumei has a bad heart?
"Dad, going to high school is my dream. I've already died once, so what wouldn't I dare do?" Su Jiaojiao looked at him calmly. "If my aunt dares to interfere with my schooling again, believe it or not, I'll call the police. I don't believe the meat processing plant's leaders will support your actions!"
Su Xiumei and Su Houli are both people who care about face. If family matters were brought to the workplace, they would naturally feel ashamed.
To put it bluntly, they are just afraid of losing their iron rice bowl.
"Okay, let's solve it privately." Su Houli certainly wanted to keep things quiet. If this matter was brought to the workplace and known to the leaders and colleagues, how would others look at him? The father and daughter went to the office with their own thoughts.
Coincidentally, Teacher Zhang was there too.
Su Houli briefly explained the purpose of his visit.
"Dear parent, it's not easy for your child to get into No. 1 Middle School. No matter what the reason, you can't stop your child from going to school." Teacher Zhang saw Su Houli dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a person of status. She found it unbelievable that such a person of status would do such a thing. Her tone was full of blame. "As a parent, you should overcome all difficulties and let your child study. Only education can change their destiny. How can you just expel your child from school without caring about anything?"
"Yes, teacher, you're right." Su Houli's face burned, as if he'd been slapped in public. Su Jiaojiao walked over to Teacher Zhang and said sternly, "Teacher, this is a misunderstanding. My father is a leader at work, and he wants me to study. He came here specifically to pay my tuition."
tuition fee?
What is tuition?
Su Houli was a little confused.
"Since you're a leader, you should support the child's education." Seeing that Su Houli was in a good mood, Teacher Zhang walked over to another teacher and whispered a few words. The teacher nodded and quickly opened a receipt and handed it to Su Houli. "Since the parents are here, please pay the tuition and miscellaneous fees. The total is 260 yuan."
"Okay, okay, I'll pay it." Su Houli suddenly felt that as a leader of the unit, he should take the lead in paying tuition and not procrastinate. He took out his wallet from his pocket without hesitation, took out a stack of big unity bills, and counted out 260 yuan. He was about to put the rest of the money back when Su Jiaojiao quickly took it. She counted it and saw that there were still 280 yuan left. She looked at Su Houli timidly and said, "Dad, this money is enough for my living expenses for two months. You are so busy and tired at work, don't work too hard, I will save some money."
He earns four hundred yuan a month.
All in all, this money was his savings for two months. If he didn't spend it, it would be a waste, and if he spent it, it would be a waste too.
Su Houli: “…”
In front of the teacher, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
I watched Su Jiaojiao put the money into her pocket.
