Chapter 61: Go ahead, I'll take care of anything that happens
"No." Xu Jiangcuo recovered and pulled himself out of his emotions. "You haven't eaten either, have you? I'll make it right away."
Song Lehan took over the job and said, "I'll go. You take a rest first."
After saying that, she hugged the teddy bear and left.
Xu Jiangcuo turned around and looked at her back, becoming more and more curious about what was written on the note.
After breakfast, Song Lehan thoughtfully cleaned up the dishes and didn't let Xu Jiangcuo get involved at all.
Xu Jiangcuo felt a little uncomfortable with being treated so nice all of a sudden.
I want to know what was written on the note.
Xu Jiangcuo thought about this in his mind, but never asked.
Because of the earthquake, the school was postponed for one day.
Song Lehan checked her schedule and saw she had several classes tomorrow. She took out her textbook and began to prepare for tomorrow's lecture.
Seeing that she was preparing lessons seriously, Xu Jiangcuo did not disturb her. He just stayed quietly in the yard, secretly watching her through the window while repairing the wall.
The quiet time flows slowly at this moment.
Song Lehan stretched out halfway through preparing for class. Looking up, he saw Xu Jiangcuo sitting in the yard. He was sitting on the steps with his head down, happily playing with his phone.
Song Lehan found it a little funny, so he picked up his phone and pointed it at him.
With a click, she took a picture of Xu Jiangcuo, who was addicted to playing with his phone. After taking the picture, she zoomed in and took a closer look, and the more she looked at it, the funnier it became.
Putting down his phone, Song Lehan continued preparing for class.
Although the two of them didn't communicate much throughout the day, they felt inexplicably comfortable and harmonious.
The next day, Xu Jiangcuo went out early again. When Song Lehan woke up, he was nowhere to be seen.
After getting some food, Song Lehan took his textbooks and went to school.
Xu Jiangcuo worked all morning and finally got the door locked. He even changed their bedsheets. After finishing all this, he discovered that Song Lehan had left him a bowl of porridge and eggs.
He sat down, peeling eggs while thinking: Every day, I cook for him and leave food for him. If this continues, it really feels like they are living a life of their own.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but laughed out loud.
I almost choked on the porridge in my mouth.
After eating and resting for a while, Xu Jiangcuo looked at the time and prepared to go to school.
Before he reached the door, he heard a heated argument.
"I told you, our family has no money, and she can't go to school."
It was the students' parents who came to cause trouble.
As he got closer, Xu Jiangcuo saw that Song Lehan was also in the crowd.
Or face the students' parents directly.
"National law stipulates that every citizen has the obligation to receive nine years of compulsory education. You cannot deprive her of her right to education."
Xu Jiangcuo was a little surprised that Song Lehan spoke fluent Tibetan.
I originally thought she could only understand Tibetan, but I didn't expect she could speak it too.
Over there, the student's parents were still nagging: "Don't talk to me about education or not! We don't have any money anyway, so we're just waiting for her to get a job and help support the family!"
Song Lehan was obviously helpless.
"Then why is her brother still able to go to school?" she questioned, anger in her eyes. "According to what you said, her brother should also drop out of school and go out to work to support your family!"
The student's parents acted like scoundrels, "I just want her not to go to school, what's it to you?"
"You just think it's because she's a girl!" Song Lehan mercilessly exposed his true face, "You just think it's useless for girls to study! You just think girls should get married early!"
"I've seen people like you before! You're telling her to go to work now, but you might marry her off in a week, not to mention a few months!"
"Do you know how cruel you are doing this? You are ruining her future! She is your child too. You have considered your son, so why can't you consider your daughter?"
Song Lehan spoke earnestly, but the other party simply didn't listen.
In fact, because she expressed her true thoughts, she completely angered the other party.
The student's parents pointed at Song Lehan's nose and scolded her, "Who do you think you are? Do you have any say in our family affairs? I told her to get married, so what's it to you?"
"I can't control you, but the state laws can!" Song Lehan raised his voice and wanted to pull the student over in anger.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the parent pushed him hard.
Caught off guard, Song Lehan fell backwards uncontrollably.
She staggered back a few steps and was about to fall when Xu Jiangcuo ran over and held her steadily.
When he saw that it was Xu Jiangcuo, a look of surprise flashed across Song Lehan's face.
"Why are you here?" she asked, standing up straight.
Xu Jiangcuo raised his eyebrows and signaled with his eyes, "If I don't come, you'll fall on your butt again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the accusations from the students' parents came again.
When Song Lehan heard this, his face immediately darkened, he rolled up his sleeves, and was about to go over to argue again.
As soon as she took a step, Xu Jiangcuo grabbed her and glanced at the situation over there. "What's going on? Why did he bring his family to the school gate to quarrel?"
"Puchi's father wouldn't let her go to school. He insisted on taking her away in the middle of class." Song Lehan explained sullenly, "Puchi told me that she came to school secretly this morning, fearing she would be discovered. But in the end, he still came."
Xu Jiangcuo frowned when he heard the name "Puchi".
"Her name is 'Puchi'?" Xu Jiangcuo began to understand why his father did that. "The name 'Puchi' means 'Zhaodi' in Chinese. Her parents gave her this name, which meant that she was disliked from birth."
Song Lehan suddenly realized, "I wouldn't have realized it if you hadn't told me."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She puffed up her cheeks and gritted her teeth, "Why is this happening? No! I have to go help her!"
"Hey--" Xu Jiangcuo wanted to persuade her to be more rational, but no matter who heard this, no one would be rational.
After thinking about it, he followed.
Since Song Lehan couldn't win the argument, he would take over.
"I raised her. I provided her with food and drink so that she can live until now. She shouldn't repay me!" Puchi's father pointed at those who argued with him, his tone so fierce that his saliva was spitting out.
"She's already thirteen or fourteen, she should have gotten married long ago! Don't bother talking to me about legality. Here, in our home, I'm the only one who makes the decision!"
He is right.
After all, this is someone else's family affair. No matter what outsiders say, if the owner of the house doesn't listen, there is nothing you can do.
The group of people who had been arguing for their rights gradually fell silent.
Seeing no one was stopping him, Puchi's father gave Song Lehan a triumphant smile. He then turned around, roughly grabbed Puchi's arm, bared his teeth, and poked her head hard, accusing her, "You rootless thing! You disobeyed me and even sneaked out! Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get home!"
Puchi wanted to hide, but when he heard the other party make a "tsk" sound, he immediately stopped.
Allow the other party to beat and scold you.
She turned around and looked at Song Lehan in despair.
