Chapter 509: The heroine of the group pet article is my cousin (10)
The police arrived soon, and Hua Shichu went with the boy to take a statement. Only then did they find out that his name was Song Zhiyao, he was 16 years old, both his parents had passed away, and his grandmother, who had been dependent on him, also passed away last month.
No wonder he had to pick up garbage for a living. This child was so miserable that even the uncles and aunts at the police station couldn't help but feel sympathy for him. They even wanted to donate money to him on the spot and send him to the hospital to treat his injuries.
Song Zhiyao refused, and after taking the statement, he limped away again, dragging his precious snakeskin bag.
Hua Shichu continued to follow him, and Song Zhiyao could not pretend he didn't see it this time. He looked at Hua Shichu indifferently and asked her: "Why are you following me?"
"Nothing, I just want to see where you live." Hua Shichu answered honestly.
Song Zhiyao frowned tightly, unable to understand her train of thought: "What's the use of knowing where I live?"
"It's useless, I just want to know. Just think of me as being bored." Hua Shichu said.
Song Zhiyao then stopped caring about her. He had nothing anyway, so it didn't matter if she knew his address.
Hua Shichu really followed Song Zhiyao to his home, but when they passed by a pharmacy, she went in and bought a home medicine box.
Song Zhiyao's home is in an old, dilapidated building in a village in the city. It looks like the kind of building that was built in the 1970s or 1980s, narrow and dark.
Song Zhiyao climbed up to the third floor. Before he reached his door, he heard a surprised voice: "Song Zhiyao, you are finally back?"
It was a short, fat middle-aged man wearing glasses. When he saw the wound on Song Zhiyao's face, he was shocked and asked, "How did you get hurt? Who hit you? Tell the teacher and I will call the police for you!"
Hua Shichu immediately understood that this man was Song Zhiyao's teacher.
"I have already reported it." Song Zhiyao said while shaking his head, taking out the key and opening the door.
"Zhi Yao, you can't do this now. Picking up trash is really not a good way to make a living. You should go back to school. I have pleaded with the principal, and he agreed to waive your tuition. As for living expenses, the teacher can lend it to you first, and you can pay me back when you earn money in the future. Listen to the teacher, your current difficulties are only temporary, so you have to study hard, and you will have a good future in the future. Don't give up..." The male teacher kept persuading, hoping to persuade this extremely strong student.
Song Zhiyao was not moved by his words at all. His face was expressionless and he just did his own work with his hands, looking indifferent.
The teacher said so much but he didn't listen. He was anxious and angry. When he saw Hua Shichu coming in with a medical kit, he asked in surprise: "Who are you? Are you a relative of Song Zhiyao?"
"No, I'm a companion who has been through thick and thin with him." Hua Shichu said with a very kind smile. Having fought with gangsters together, does that count as having been through thick and thin together?
However, the male teacher looked at Hua Shichu with suspicion. Although there was no logo on Hua Shichu's clothes, one could tell from the material and style that they were not cheap. Moreover, Hua Shichu had red lips and white teeth and was very beautiful. She looked like a girl who was spoiled in a wealthy family. He couldn't see how Song Zhiyao could share any hardships with the girl.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in the male teacher's mind, and he asked in shock: "Could it be that Zhiyao was beaten like this because of you?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. Isn't it normal for a boy to be a hero for a pretty girl? Although Song Zhiyao has a cold and aloof personality, he is also a young boy, so he should be like this too, right?
When Hua Shichu heard what he said, her favorable impression of him for coming to students' homes to persuade them to go back to school suddenly plummeted to the bottom. She sneered and said, "Don't slander me. Song Zhiyao was beaten by gangsters because he was picking up trash and found his way into their territory. I was the one who saved him."
After hearing what she said, the male teacher looked at Song Zhiyao and saw that he did not refute it. It was obvious that what she said was true. He immediately laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I thank you on behalf of Song Zhiyao for saving him."
"No need." Hua Shichu said unhappily, then pulled Song Zhiyao up and forced him to wash his hands, then returned to the small living room and began to apply medicine to him.
The male teacher looked at Song Zhiyao in surprise, who did not resist at all and was obedient. He was Song Zhiyao's high school teacher and knew Song Zhiyao's character very well. Song Zhiyao was not an obedient and well-behaved child, but this beautiful young girl could train him into submission. How could the male teacher not be surprised?
In fact, he was wrong. It was not that Song Zhiyao didn't want to resist. He resisted. However, Hua Shichu had extraordinary strength. No matter how Song Zhiyao resisted, Hua Shichu could pin him down with just two hands. Resistance was futile, so Song Zhiyao learned his lesson and silently let Hua Shichu manipulate him.
"Hey... girl, Song Zhiyao listens to you so much, so can you persuade him to go back to school? I have kept his student status for him. As long as he comes back, he can continue his studies and doesn't have to worry about anything else." The male teacher thought for a moment and came up with the idea of ​​​​Hua Shichu.
Hua Shichu looked at him with a half-smile: "I'm not his guardian, there's no point looking for me."
"But he listens to you! Girl, you must persuade him. He is very smart and has a high IQ. He used to go to class only for three days and rest for two days. He was busy taking care of the patients at home and had no time to do his homework, but his test scores have always been at the top, which shows that he has a strong learning ability. Wouldn't it be a pity if such a smart child dropped out of school? Moreover, he doesn't have any patients at home to take care of now, so he can devote himself to studying, and he will definitely learn better. Little girl, can you bear to see him have no future?" The male teacher used his expertise and began to annoy Hua Shichu.
Hua Shichu's ears felt buzzing as if there were a fly stuck in them because of his nagging, so she interrupted him quickly: "Stop! I'll decide whether to persuade him to go back to school, but if you keep bothering me like this, I'll tell him not to go back."
After she said that, the male teacher immediately shut up, sighed, and left tactfully. But before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Hua Shichu to persuade Song Zhiyao to go back to school.
Hua Shichu helped Song Zhiyao apply medicine on the wounds on his face and neck, and was about to tear off his shirt to apply medicine on his back. Hua Shichu remembered that those thugs beat him hard on the back with iron bars. His back must have been badly injured, and it was a good thing that he endured it for so long without saying a word.
Song Zhiyao was frightened by Hua Shichu's actions, and quickly pulled his clothes, saying, "I can apply medicine to the wounds on my body myself."
"Oh? Then how do you apply medicine to the wound on your back? Try it and show me." Hua Shichu said with a smile.
Song Zhiyao was suddenly so embarrassed that his eyes became vague, and his hand that was holding the hem of his clothes loosened.
