Storefront, rice and noodles.
Ye Lu's expression became more complicated, and for a moment he didn't even know whether to be angry or laugh.
Never mind. It doesn't matter.
Ye Lu shouted directly, "There is no rice or flour! No! Stop crying."
The fat guy looked at him with tears in his eyes, but he cried even louder the next second. It was obvious that this trick didn't work on him at all.
In the end, it was Jiang Jing who coaxed him and told him that weight and appearance were not that important. The brothers did not let him continue eating because they were worried about the impact on his health, but also—
Useless.
Fatty seemed to be lost in his own world and felt very sad.
His crying was very contagious, and perhaps it scared Miaomiao. The spoon in the little girl's hand fell into the bowl, and her eyes turned red and she began to cry.
Miaomiao's crying seemed to encourage Fatty, and he cried even louder.
At the dinner table, the twins sat together.
Although it seems that the child is a little active, he has an older brother to help take care of him, so he doesn't need to worry about anything. It's really relaxing.
After everyone finished their meal, the program team announced a new rule.
Song Zeqian asked directly: "Xiao Pang and Momo are the same age, they are in the same class, right?"
[No matter how much a child cries, he will have to shut up if he meets a cold-blooded parent]
Because Fatty calmed down, Miaomiao was a very well-behaved child and soon stopped crying.
"Ah?" Fatty looked at Xiaomi in confusion, and caught the key words in her words: "Not eating a single bite? Starving to death? Woohoo, I don't want to starve to death..."
In an instant, for the sake of dinner, Fatty quickly covered his mouth with his hand to stop crying, and almost choked.
Just when the situation reached a stalemate, Xu Ze's voice suddenly rang out: "Whoever cries again will not have dinner."
Shang Lu looked at Xiaomi and asked, "Do you have a younger brother or sister at home?"
Xiaomi: "Then you just roll on the ground first."
Then the fat boy rolled on the ground twice more with great effort, crying even louder.
It’s high, really high.
How could he know that a child that big would cry over such a trivial matter
Jiang Jing wanted to go forward to comfort Fatty, but Shang Lu grabbed her wrist and said, "Miao Miao needs you too. If he wants to lie down, let him lie down all the time."
After the recording of this episode is finished, each child will give a score to the guest who is responsible for leading them. The full score is 10. The guest with the highest score will become the captain of the next recording. The reward is still a pie-in-the-sky reward from the program team, and the captain of the next episode will enjoy privileges.
Ye Lu was very angry, but he knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to refute.
The adults couldn't and didn't want to persuade him anymore. It was lucky enough that the child didn't cry, and it was impossible to persuade Fatty.
Ye Lu patted both sides of his ears and complained: "Finally it stopped, my eardrums hurt."
Thinking so, Ye Lu looked at Xiaole, whom he was in charge of. He felt more satisfied with the comparison.
[Xu Ze: One sentence, let Fatty stop crying for me. I am a male lecturer who is well versed in human nature]
[How come there are people who are making things worse? Hahaha, a naughty kid guiding a naughty kid]
The fat guy really did what he was told. After rolling on the ground for a few rounds, he began to pant and became exhausted: "How long are you going to roll? Wuwu... I'm so tired."
If you cry again, you won’t have any food to eat! He just held the fat boy in his hand.
Xu Ze took Fatty to wash his hands, and he got a lot of dust on his body when he rolled on the ground.
[How come Xiaomi is so proficient in this process? I suddenly feel a little embarrassed when I think about how I used to do the same thing when I was a kid]
Momo sat next to Song Zeqian, biting her chopsticks and watching the excitement.
But even so, he soon calmed down and got up from the ground.
[But Fatty just wants to eat, he can’t possibly go on a hunger strike hahaha]
The second task today is to attend a parent-teacher meeting for the children on behalf of their parents.
Everyone: “!”
Fatty was lying on the ground, the others were sitting in their seats, Shang Lu and Jiang Jing were standing together, both in silence.
[Hahaha, Xu Ze really doesn't indulge Fatty at all. He directly prescribes the right medicine for the thing he fears the most]
Shang Lu glanced at Ye Lu and said sarcastically, "You're asking for this, aren't you?"
Everyone said they understood, and after cleaning the kitchen table and dishes, they faced the next task.
The younger brother looked over curiously and wanted to stand up, but the older brother immediately held his shoulders and made him sit down and continue eating noodles.
Forget it, if you can’t afford to offend him, can’t you just avoid him
Jiang Jing hesitated for a moment, but decided to listen to Shang Lu and returned to her seat to coax Miaomiao.
Obviously, in this situation, it is useless for Shang Lu and Lin Yanyan to cry in front of Pang Ge'er and Miao Miao. The former will probably become more excited, while the latter will probably become more scared, and both will just cry louder and louder.
Xiaomi covered her ears with her hands, her face full of annoyance, and looked at Fatty: "What's the point of crying? You should roll on the ground and tell them that if they don't agree to your request, you will not eat a single bite and starve to death."
"I have a younger brother." Xiaomi said and turned her head away, obviously having no intention of talking to Shang Lu in detail.
Fatty corrected him aggrievedly: "My name is Fatty, not Xiaopang."
Song Zeqian waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's all the same."
After saying that, he looked at Fatty again. His usual cold face was enough to scare the little kid.
So the fat guy felt wronged and didn't dare to speak.
The staff told them that Miaomiao was not yet old enough to go to school, but the education here was not very developed, so Pangge'er and Momo, as well as the twin brothers who were one year older than them, were in the same class.
In other words, Jiang Jing does not have to attend parent-teacher meetings and can just take care of Miaomiao at home.
Shanglu went to Xiaomi's class alone, while the other four guests went to the same class.
Before leaving, the director team gave each of them a report card of the child they were responsible for.
The parent-teacher meeting for senior grades was to start half an hour earlier, so Shang Lu and Xiaomi set off for school under the arrangement of the program team.
It takes half an hour to walk to the elementary school, and it would be boring if we didn't say anything along the way.
Shanglu then took out a candy and a bag of spicy noodles from his pocket and asked Xiaomi, "Which one do you want, candy or spicy noodles?"
Theoretically, this should have been reported to the director team, but the director team was also afraid that Shang Lu and Lin Yanyan would continue crying, so they made an exception and ignored the snacks that were snatched from the elementary school students at the village entrance.
Xiaomi didn't even look at it and answered directly: "I don't want any of them."
Shang Lu nodded and asked, "We also have chewing gum and popping candy, do you want any?"
"No." Xiaomi's answer remained unchanged. As soon as she finished speaking, her lips touched the candy.
Shang Lu held up a lollipop and said in a very pretentious manner: "Oh, I was too careless. In this case, I'll have to trouble you to eat it for me."
Xiaomi's eyes fell on the candy in front of her. She said nothing, but after a brief stalemate, she still reached out and took it.
The girl held the candy in her mouth but walked even faster, and it was hard to tell whether she was in a good or bad mood.
Some people in the barrage blamed Shang Lu.
[Shanglu, this is not polite. I already said I don’t want it.]
Immediately, some careful netizens came out to explain the reason.
[I opened two live broadcast rooms to tell you from a God's perspective. Before dinner, Lin Yanyan distributed candies to the children. Xiaomi wanted orange flavored ones, but there was only one, so Momo took it first and she didn't want any later. After Lin Yanyan told Shang Lu about this, Shang Lu went to find Ye Lu. Fortunately, Ye Lu still had one orange flavored one left.]
[Hahaha, I testify that the black-hearted boss Ye Lu directly raised the price and asked Shang Lu to exchange two lychee-flavored ones for his one hahaha]
[Don't worry, Xiaomi likes it, but it seems that the little girl is a little embarrassed]
[Cool girl x sweet girl? I got it (I'm just kidding)]
[Sweetie? Recalling Shanglu's various performances in the first seven episodes, a passerby fell into deep thought]
[Speaking of Shang Lutian, Ye Lu would be the first one to disagree, hahaha]
[Shang Lu's personality varies from person to person! I suggest you watch her interactions with fans. She is so soft and obedient when talking to fans that I can easily become a mother! ]
[Invested in Shanglu, no matter what type of star she likes, she can satisfy them all by herself. She is usually arrogant but behaves well in front of fans. Wuwu is my good baby]
[She is kind of cute now. It seems like she likes Xiaomi very much? This is the first time I see Shanglu being so attentive to someone, hahaha]
Although Xiaomi doesn't pay much attention to Shang Lu, she can talk a lot by herself.
From today's lunch to the mountain road on the way here, or curiosity about the school, in short, he can talk about everything.
Xiaomi occasionally responded to her, but they were always short sentences.
Soon they arrived at the school.
The class meeting is about to start in ten minutes, and most of the parents in the class have already arrived.
Because most of these children live with their grandparents, this classroom is almost entirely filled with elderly people and a few middle-aged mothers.
Shang Lu and Xiaomi arrived, bringing with them so many people from the director team, and everyone looked at them with curiosity.
Xiaomi seemed unused to being stared at by so many people. She simply lowered her head and stared at her shoes, with the irritation on her face becoming more and more obvious.
Shang Lu pulled her hand and asked, "Where should I sit?"
Xiaomi was forced to look up and pointed to a seat and answered: "Sit in my seat..."
She paused before she could finish her words because her seat was now filled with debris.
I don’t know which parents piled all the bamboo baskets and other items on her seat.
She walked over and looked at the other people in the classroom with some annoyance: "Who put something on my seat? Take it away quickly, or I will throw it away."
After Xiaomi said this, two old ladies stood up slowly, walked over to take things and said, "This girl is so rude. It's just a place where you put something. Is it that serious?"
The other one responded, "We usually put it here. No one has ever been here before. And that person is not her family member. I heard that he is an actor in the city."
Two more old men looked at Shang Lu curiously, and one of them asked, "Are you from the TV station filming something?"
Another one followed up and asked, "Why did you choose their family? The child's grandparents don't care about her. I heard you guys gave money, right? My eldest grandson is different, everyone praises him. Do you want to come and take pictures of my grandson next time? Just give the same money."
Xiaomi bit her lip but didn't refute. She just said, "You can go to the parent-teacher meeting yourself. I'll wait for you at the school gate" and walked out.
However, when Xiaomi walked to the classroom door and was about to leave, she heard Shang Lu's voice softly coming from behind her.
"Grandpa, our program team is looking for outstanding and smart children. Xiaomi ranked first in the last exam. If your grandson can also rank first in the class, our program team will also consider him."
Xiaomi stopped.
She turned around, her eyes fell on Shang Lu with some surprise, then she quickened her pace and left.
Netizens were happy to watch it.
[Shang Lu's mouth is really indiscriminate, and he is not afraid even when facing an old man]
[In fact, Shanglu seems to be very polite, but what he said is very rude. But don’t hit someone who smiles at you, hahaha]
[Xiaomi is actually number one! So impressive!]
[I noticed it when Shanglu looked at the report card, hahaha]
The grandfather's grandson's grades were probably average, and he felt a little embarrassed at the moment, so he snorted coldly: "Why do girls need to study so much? It's a waste of the family's money. Boys are not as smart as they are. They can catch up with a little study when they grow up."
Shang Lu showed a surprised expression: "Is she wasting the family's money by studying? But my coming here proves that she is already making money for the family, doesn't it?"
The old man was speechless for a moment, he pointed a finger at Shang Lu, and finally said: "You young people don't understand."
[Sister Lu’s logic is awesome! Lend me your mouth to have an argument]
[Shang Lu is amazing because she can criticize others in a way that no one can refute, but she doesn’t look angry at all, hahaha]
[I don’t get angry when others get angry, breast hyperplasia stays away from me! ]
However, the next second, another grandfather took over the conversation: "Anyway, the child's grandparents don't plan to let her continue to attend junior high school. This is a waste of money. After all, her brother is not young anymore. She needs to make plans for the future."
Shang Lu was stunned. He looked at the slightly fat old man who was speaking and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Her grandfather and I are poker friends, so I know a lot about her family." The slightly plump old grandfather took a sip of tea from his teacup and said slowly, "The child has a bad personality, and her parents passed away early, so she doesn't listen at home. There's nothing we can do."
Shang Lu wanted to continue asking questions when a middle-aged woman in a denim jacket walked in from the door. She was the head teacher of this class.
Shang Lu didn't have time to ask anything for the moment, so he could only turn away.
The head teacher had been informed that people from the TV station would come to film the event, but he still felt a little nervous standing on the podium.
The head teacher is named Qi Qin, she is 40 years old and has worked in this school for more than ten years.
But as the normal process went on, she soon continued to talk about the students' situation.
The parent-teacher meeting was over in about half an hour.
Qi Qin hesitated, but still said, "Qimi's parent, can you come to my office?"
Shang Lu originally wanted to go find the slightly fat old man, but seeing Qi Qin saying that, he naturally stopped and said, "Of course."
After saying that, Shang Lu followed Qi Qin to the office in the classroom.
The school is not big, and teachers share one office, so the few sets of desks and chairs seem a bit crowded.
Qi Qin pulled out a chair for Shang Lu and said, "Please sit down."
After saying that, she went to pour two glasses of water and then sat down opposite Shang Lu.
Shang Lu asked directly: "Is there anything related to Xiaomi's study?"
Qi Qin looked a little embarrassed, but still said, "I know you are not her real parent, but I have contacted her family many times, and I have no choice but to come to you."
Shang Lu had already guessed it in his heart, so he asked directly, "Is it because her family doesn't want her to study?"
"Yes." Qi Qin responded instinctively, and then asked curiously: "How do you know?"
Shang Lu replied: "I heard it from some elders before the parents' meeting started."
Next, Qi Qin told Shang Lu some things about Xiaomi's family.
Xiaomi has a younger brother who is five years younger than her. Her parents died in a car accident a few years after her brother was born. The siblings live with their grandparents, but for some reason, their grandparents don't like Xiaomi very much.
In fact, last year Xiaomi’s grandparents did not allow Xiaomi to go to school. It was Qi Qin who found their family and told them that if they didn’t even graduate from elementary school and couldn’t recognize a few words, no factory would accept them if they went out to work.
Xiaomi's grandparents could barely read and write, and only after hearing what Qi Qin said did they reluctantly let her come back to continue her classes.
Qi Qin's face was full of fatigue and helplessness. She took off her glasses, pinched her nose, and put her palm on her forehead. She said, "Xiaomi is a good student. She has always been the top student in the class. If she can go to the county middle school, she will definitely be able to get into college in the future."
The woman's voice was a little confused as she spoke: "I have been teaching here for more than ten years, and I have seen more than one girl like Xiaomi. They are all talented and work hard, but they cannot continue their studies due to family reasons. Some have even been forced to go back and get married after receiving university admission letters. It is difficult for children in the mountains to study, and it is even more difficult for girls in the mountains to study."
Qi Qin was telling the truth.
In the village, children are often sent to school because they are working outside and are not yet of age. Going to school doesn’t cost much money now, and it will be easier for them to find jobs in the city after they learn to read.
If a boy has good grades, no matter how poor the family is, they will try their best to support him. If a family has a "college student" in the future, it will be a very honorable thing.
But it's different for girls. What's the point of reading so many books? They've made their minds wild. They don't even think about going out to work to supplement the family income. They actually say they want to go to college
What's the point of going to college? You'll get married eventually anyway, so why waste so much money? Your brain must be broken. Netizens who were watching the live broadcast were also angry.
[Can I skip junior high school? I have to complete the nine-year compulsory education anyway]
[There are many people in this remote area who haven’t even attended elementary school.]
[Oh, there is nothing I can do. For many older generations, the idea is "I gave birth to my child, I can do whatever I want, no one has the right to tell me what to do", which is really unreasonable]
[And even if you finish junior high school, what's the point? Didn't I hear from the teacher that some of the students who got into college stayed and got married? ]
[I really don’t understand. My legs are on my body, and I can apply for student loans to go to college. If I want to go, no one can stop me.]
[How can you resist if your parents cry, make a scene, or even threaten you with death? There are many other factors. Don’t take it for granted.]
[But…]
[I think…]
The barrage was about to get noisy.
But their thoughts are actually the same, they are all angry and sorry for those girls who should have a better life.
Shang Lu was also feeling a little heavy-hearted, but she still tried to smile and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best."
＊
Shang Lu left the office and was stunned by the scene outside.
Because at this moment, Ye Lu and Song Zeqian were standing on the left and right... Oh no, they were squatting at the door, both of them maintaining the horse stance posture.
In front of them, Xiaokai, Xiaole and Momo, the three children were standing together.
And Lin Yanyan was also standing aside with a complicated expression.
Shang Lu didn't quite understand, so he looked at Lin Yanyan and asked, "What's going on?"
Lin Yanyan shrugged and answered, "Xiao Le played a prank on his classmates, and Momo... took the eraser of a girl in the class."
Lin Yanyan hesitated for a moment and still did not use the word "grab".
And the next second, something even weirder happened.
Xu Ze and Fatty also came over. Xu Ze had a blank expression on his face, and then he also started to squat.
The fat boy stood aside with his chubby head hung, not daring to speak.
Shang Lu looked at Xu Ze and asked, "... What's going on with you?"
Xu directly answered: "He eats snacks during class."
Before Xu Ze could finish his words, he saw Fatty took out another pack of instant noodles from his pocket.
Xu Ze looked at Fatty, who silently put the snacks back into his pocket and whispered, "... I won't eat it."
Apparently, the children that these three were tied to had made mistakes at school, so they were being punished on behalf of the children.
It was obvious that this was arranged by the program crew, so Shang Lu mocked them.
Ye Lu was instantly dissatisfied and said directly: "I know Xiaokai is a very well-behaved child, but isn't your child also very difficult to deal with? You have come to the office, why don't you get punished?"
"It's different." Shang Lu took out the report card he received before leaving from his pocket and handed it to Ye Lu as if showing off: "Look carefully, Xiaomi is the first in the grade. I'm here to receive the praise."
Shang Lu put away the report card again, and said something provocative with a helpless expression: "The child is too outstanding, there is nothing we can do."
Ye Lu was so angry that he squatted down in horse stance and threw a few punches at her in the air in a very serious manner.
After saying that, Shang Lu waved to everyone and said, "You guys stay here, I'm leaving first. Bye."
Xu Ze cooperated very well: "Bye."
Ye Lu: "Just wait! Things will change over time!"
Song Zeqian: “…”
Too lazy to bother with them.
Lin Yanyan naturally wanted to leave with Shang Lu, but she also remembered that the program crew had reminded them not to separate Xiao Kai and Xiao Le, so she could only wait here with grievance.
When Shang Lu walked to the corner, he saw Xiaomi standing there without him knowing when.
She was a little surprised, but still smiled and said, "You're here? Let's go home."
"Yeah." Xiaomi responded, his eyes falling on Shang Lu's hands.
Shang Lu looked at the report card in his hand and said, "Getting first place in the exam is a great achievement. Is there any gift you would like?"
Xiaomi said, "You don't have money."
Shang Lu: “?”
[Hahaha, how can a child be so heartbreaking]
[Yeah Lulu, you are penniless now hahaha]
Shang Lu said dissatisfiedly: "I will have money when I return."
Xiaomi said: "Then I'll tell you when you get back."
"Just tell me now." Shang Lu didn't stop talking. He followed her and asked, "Do you like dolls? Or stuffed animals, the kind you hold when you sleep."
Xiaomi didn't look at her, and turned away: "Childish."
But she didn't say no.
On the way, Shang Lu told her about the cute dolls he grabbed from the claw machine, and that he would choose a lucky doll every day to hold while sleeping.
In fact, Xiaomi didn’t listen much.
Because what kept ringing in her mind were Shang Lu's words defending her before she left the classroom, and the proud tone in which Shang Lu showed off her to others just now.
it's wired.
This was the first time they met, but why did Shang Lu defend her so much in front of those annoying old people
Even though she was so repulsive with this attitude, the other party was always so enthusiastic in talking to her.
Even though a child of this age looks mature, he can't hide his thoughts. He couldn't help but ask, "Why... are you so nice to me?"
"Hmm?" Shang Lu didn't react to this question for a while. After thinking for a while, he answered: "I think you are a little like me, but I hope you are not too like me."
Although she was the top student in the class, Xiaomi still didn't quite understand what Shang Lu meant and frowned slightly.
Shang Lu smiled at her and said, "For example... I used to like watching ants."
The girl's face was so small that it was only the size of a palm. Her skin was dark, and the hair on her cheeks was blown by the wind and blocked her eyes. She still asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at ants?"
Shang Lu shrugged and replied, "When I was a kid, no one at home talked to me. I was very bored, so I had to talk to the ants."
Shang Lu took off the decorative hairpin he was wearing as he spoke, helped the girl tidy up her hair, put it on her head, and clipped away the loose hair that was a little in the way.
Xiaomi instinctively reached out to take off the hairpin, but her hand was held down by Shang Lu.
Shang Lu looked at her seriously and said, "This looks good."
When I met her eyes, it was a sincere compliment.
So Xiaomi broke free and said nothing, but didn't take off the hairpin either.
And suddenly.
Another piece of candy was stuffed into her hand.
This time, it was Shang Lu who took a step forward first and said, "Let's go back."
Xiaomi held the candy in her hand and touched the hairpin on her ear.
Although she still didn't quite understand what Shang Lu meant, her brows had gradually relaxed unconsciously and she followed Shang Lu again.
However, at this moment, the director team gave Shang Lu a new task.
She needed to take Xiaomi home, pack the clothes she would need for the next two days, and then return to their home.
However, living in the same village as Xiaomi, Xiaomi's home is very close to their recording location, just a ten-minute walk away.
This house was just as shabby as the one the production crew had arranged for them. Xiaomi glanced at Shang Lu and said, "You can wait for me outside."
However, before Shang Lu could answer, footsteps were heard in the room.
An old lady came out and glanced at Xiaomi without saying anything. But when she saw Shang Lu and the program staff, she smiled instantly: "Xiaomi, you're back so early? Come on, come in, have some tea and take a break."
"I just came back to get something." Xiaomi said this and walked straight into the house, as if she didn't really want to talk to her grandma.
At the old man's cordial invitation, everyone naturally entered the house.
Xiaomi was packing her things in the room, so the program crew naturally pointed the camera at the old man.
The old man was not at all stage-shy when he talked about his family's daily life.
Shang Lu looked around curiously, and then noticed several award certificates on a wall.
Shang Lu walked over. She naturally thought that these certificates belonged to Xiaomi.
This is indeed the case, but with one difference.
These award certificates belong to Xiaomi, and the original names on them have been crossed out and replaced with the words "Qi Li".
Seeing Shang Lu staring at the certificates, Grandma Qi said directly: "Those are just children who don't know better. They changed them for fun. It doesn't matter."
Shang Lu found it a little ridiculous. Was it necessary to play with the certificate like this
And at this moment, Grandpa Qi came out with his little grandson.
The seven or eight-year-old boy was like Xiaomi at two extremes. He was a little fat and was chewing a big chicken drumstick. When he saw so many people at his house, he asked curiously, "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
Grandpa Qi told his precious grandson: "They are the people my sister is going to meet in the next two days."
"Oh." The little boy nodded, took a bite of the chicken leg and asked, "If I give my sister to them, can I eat chicken legs every day?"
As soon as the little boy asked this question, Grandpa Qi immediately scolded him: "What are you talking about? How can your sister give it to others?"
The little boy didn't understand why his grandfather suddenly got angry, but he continued eating and asked vaguely, "Didn't grandma always say that after my sister gets married, we can have a good life of eating meat every day?"
The scene was extremely quiet in an instant.
Netizens feel
[Fuck... Why does this little brat talk like that? He has an innocent tone, but he says such vicious words. He gave his sister to someone else just to eat meat every day? ]
[Is he eating meat? I think he's drinking his sister's blood.]
[Grandma always says... It's obvious that this is how he has been educated since he was a child. Those are the original words that grandma said]
[Adults can pretend in front of outsiders, but children don’t understand this and dare to tell the truth. They are mean and vicious and are completely unaware of it.]
[I suddenly understand Xiaomi's personality. Who can be normal in this kind of family?]
[It's so sad. She's just a teenager, but this family treats her like a blood bag.]
Shang Lu clenched her hands hanging at her sides a little tighter. She was naturally angry.
But the people here are Xiaomi's relatives. She has no qualifications or position to say anything. More importantly, there is no point in arguing with them.
Shang Lu got to the point directly and said, "I held a parent-teacher meeting for Xiaomi today. The teacher said Xiaomi's grades are very good and she will definitely be able to get into university in the future."
Grandma Qi frowned and said the same thing: "It's a waste for a girl like her to read so many books."
Shang Lu said, "It's different. Girls can earn more money working outside after they pass the college entrance examination."
Grandma Qi waved her hands and said, "Don't try to fool me again. Qi Qin said the same thing the last time she came. She said that after finishing elementary school, you can go out to work and earn money. Now you want to go to college. Is this going to end? There is no way the family has that much money. It should be left for our Xiaoli to build a house and get married."
"All the money is mine! Use it to build a house and get married!" The little boy rubbed his face with oil after eating a chicken drumstick, but he still looked up and shouted loudly, with an expression as if it was a matter of course.
He even had a smile on his face when he said this, probably because he thought the chicken legs were delicious.
Shang Lu suddenly felt like laughing during the commotion.
She felt that she should not have come alone, but should have brought Song Zeqian with her, so that he could watch more real-life character materials, which would be helpful for his filming.
So Shang Lu said directly: "I can pay for all her tuition and living expenses."
Grandma Qi was stunned for a moment, but this time she didn't rush to refuse.
She was calculating and thinking, which was more cost-effective: letting her granddaughter go out to work early to supplement the family income or get married and get a dowry, or going to college.
But in the end she chose to refuse.
Grandma Qi said, "Forget it. Qi Qin, Xiaomi's teacher, was the first college student in the nearby villages. Her parents were so happy at the time, but what happened? She has damaged her brain through studying. She is already 40 years old and still hasn't married. She also doesn't make much money. This is not okay."
After Grandma Qi finished speaking, Shang Lu didn't have time to say anything before the door of the room was suddenly opened from the inside.
Xiaomi came out with an old backpack in her hand, looking at her grandmother with red eyes, and yelled in a somewhat collapsed manner: "I don't ask you to pay, why don't you let me study? I want to go to school! How many times have I said I want to go to school!"
Grandma Qi was stunned, and then said: "What's your attitude, kid? I raised you to this age just for you to talk to me like this? How unfilial! What a sin! I told you that you can't read, but you look down on me, your grandmother, just because you know a few words..."
As she spoke, she actually raised her hand and began to wipe away her tears, looking as if she had suffered great injustice.
He didn't respond to Xiaomi's words, but just kept crying and expressing his pity.
At this moment, Xiaoli had finished eating the chicken leg. He wiped his hands on his clothes, ran to Grandma Qi and said, "Grandma, don't cry. I will support you when I make money."
"Luckily, you are here. My eldest grandson is sensible. Otherwise, grandma doesn't know what hope there is in living." Grandma Qi said as she hugged her grandson, tears still flowing.
The people of Shanglu were so angry that they almost laughed.
In all her years, this was the first time she had seen such a shameless person. It was so ridiculous that she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Netizens were equally shocked.
[Family disgrace should not be made public. Can you act so shameless in front of the camera?]
[Because from Xiaomi's grandmother's perspective, she doesn't think she did anything wrong. Even if this video is played in this village, most villagers will think it is Xiaomi's fault.]
"Don't embarrass yourself in front of outsiders." Grandpa Qi seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and scolded Grandma Qi a few words, then smiled at them and said, "Read. As long as the child wants to read, we, old bones, will let her read even if we have to beg for food."
Xiaomi's emotions were already a little broken at this moment: "Don't pretend, every time there are outsiders around you, you say nice things like this, you are also a liar..."
Grandpa Qi's face was instantly lost, but he still said: "You are too ignorant, how can you say that to your grandfather? Isn't it for you to study? You don't understand the situation at home."
Xiaomi shouted at the top of her lungs, "I understand. I know the person who hit my parents to death gave me some compensation. Just a little bit of it will be enough for me to continue studying in junior high school!"
Grandma Qi was also completely angry. She didn't even continue crying and playing the victim. She stood up and pointed at Xiaomi and cursed: "You unfilial daughter! You are a money-loser! Now you are actually setting your sights on the compensation money for your parents? Of course, that money is for your brother. How dare you say that? If they hadn't bought you a new schoolbag because you went out to study, how could you have an accident on the road? My poor son! You lost your life for such a heartless person. You were killed by this little beast..."
moment.
The body reacted faster than the brain. Shang Lu half-crouched in front of Xiaomi. Because he moved so fast, he didn't even have time to keep his balance and was almost half-kneeling on the ground.
Her knees ached, but she reached out and covered Xiaomi's ears tightly.
Xiaomi looked up at Shang Lu in confusion.
She also couldn't hear what Shang Lu was saying, but she recognized his lip movements.
What she said was: Don't listen, it's not your fault.
