Wen Dazui then hurried towards Shumei's house.
At the same time, Zhou Yu's mother saw the homeroom teacher sitting there with the phone in her hand, not saying anything, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Teacher! When can they come over?"
"Zhou Yu's mother, don't worry. The call is from their village, and the boss is on his way to call her! Her mother hasn't answered the call yet."
"What era is this? There's not even a phone at home. She really comes from a poor village. As the saying goes: poor mountains and bad waters produce bad people. It's absolutely true. No wonder even such a little girl is so strong. If I had known earlier, I would have called her uncles, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle these bad people bullying me."
She was muttering to herself, and the head teacher did not interrupt. Little Shuangning had just experienced the power of this tigress, so she did not dare to say a word and was carefully marking the test papers on the table.
At this time, Wen Dazui had already arrived at Shumei's house. She was lucky because Shumei didn't go to the fields today and was busy in the chicken coop.
She walked to the iron gate and glanced into the yard. There was no movement in the yard, and the iron gate was locked from the outside. She guessed that no one was home, so she went to the chicken coop to look for someone.
As soon as she entered the chicken coop, she saw Shumei wearing rubber gloves and cleaning out chicken manure.
Shumei heard the noise, raised her head and asked Wen Dazui, "Sister Huimei, how come you have time to come here?"
"Stop working! Ningning's homeroom teacher called and seems quite anxious. Go pick it up right away!"
"Ningning's homeroom teacher?"
Shuangning and Youchen had always been very well behaved in school, and their parents had never been called in. This parent-teacher conference had already taken place, and Shumei had no idea what might have happened that would warrant a call from the teacher.
Seeing that she was still in a daze, thinking about random things, Wen Dazui quickly snatched the shovel from her hand, threw it aside, and dragged her out of the chicken coop. "Yeah, don't just stand there, the phone's not hung up yet! Hurry up, don't make me wait anxiously."
"Sister Huimei, wait a minute, let me take off my gloves." Shumei said as she took off the gloves on her hands.
She tidied herself up briefly, washed her hands, locked the chicken coop, and followed Wen Dazui, walking quickly towards the storage room.
"Shumei, this teacher must have something urgent to tell you, otherwise Ningning could just come back and tell him, why would she go to all that trouble to call?"
"Hey! Yeah! Could something have happened to Ningning? Did she fall? Or get sick?"
"Hey! Don't scare yourself. We're almost there. You'll know when you answer the phone."
…
As they walked and talked, Shumei thought of many possibilities, but the only possibility she had not thought of was that Xiao Shuangning was causing trouble.
Arriving at the storage room, she anxiously picked up the phone on the table and asked, "Hello, is this Teacher Li?"
When our homeroom teacher, Teacher Li, heard the voice coming from the other end of the phone, she quickly put the receiver to her ear, tightly gripping it with both hands, and said anxiously, "Yes, yes, it's me. Are you Zhang Shuangning's parent?"
When Zhou Yu's mother heard the response from the other end, she stared at Teacher Li intently, as if she wanted to get something from her.
"I'm her mother. Did something happen to my Ningning?"
"Something really happened. Come to school right now!"
After hearing what Teacher Li said, Shumei was so worried that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She asked anxiously, "What happened to her? Did she fall? Or is she sick?"
"Well...you'd better come over first! The sooner the better, and it's better to bring some...money..." Teacher Li glanced at Zhou Yu's mother, thinking that Zhou Yu was in the hospital and the only way to mediate was probably money, so he specifically reminded Shumei.
"Teacher Li, what happened to my Ningning? Do I need to bring money with me? How much should I bring?"
"Don't ask too many questions, just come as quickly as possible. As for the money, bring as much as you can."
When Teacher Li mentioned the sensitive word "money", he covered his mouth and spoke in a low voice, for fear that Zhou Yu's mother would hear it and cause trouble again.
"Okay, I'll be there right away. But I'm far from the school, so it might take an hour or so." Since the teacher didn't say anything, Shumei didn't want to ask any more questions. Instead of bothering to ask, she might as well rush to school early to see what happened to Xiao Shuangning.
"Hurry up!"
Shumei didn't even bother to say anything to the teacher and hung up the phone.
Wen Dazui was just listening. Although she didn't understand what was happening, she understood that they wanted money.
"Sister Huimei, these are the keys to the chicken coop and my home. Please keep an eye on them for me. I'm in a hurry to go to school, and I don't know what happened or when I can be back." Shumei stuffed the keys to her home and the chicken coop into Wen Dazui's hands and asked her for help.
In this village, the only ones who can help her are probably Wen Dazui's family.
"Okay, leave the family to me! I just heard that you should bring money with you. Do you have any on you?"
"Sister Huimei, to be honest, we don't have much spare money at home. All our money is invested in the chicken farm. The money we squeeze out of our teeth is also intended to be used as chicken feed. Oh! Never mind, let's take it one step at a time! Let's go and see what happened to Ningning first!" Shumei looked worried and prepared to go out after she finished speaking.
Wen Dazui called her, "Shumei, wait a moment."
Shumei stopped when she heard the voice.
Wen Dazui lifted the door curtain and walked towards the inner room. After a short while, she came out of the inner room with a stack of money.
