Director Lu sat very quietly in the black room. Compared with the initial shock and anger, he was unusually calm at this time. He knew that he was being calculated, and the person who calculated him was still his most trusted subordinate.
Except for Secretary Sun, he couldn't think of anyone else who could forge evidence of his leaking questions, and the one who could afford such a big price to make Secretary Sun betray him was none other than Deputy Director Song Chengcheng.
Lu Xu lowered his head and showed a smile that was uglier than crying. He still underestimated the greed of human nature. And since Song Chengcheng dared to do this, he must have full confidence that he will be completely planted in and out. Thinking about the gifts and your shopping cards that he has received over the years, Lu Xu knows that unless there is a miracle this time. , otherwise he would have to squat for ten years.
"...Fortunately, the class has already learned." Director Lu murmured a few words, and then couldn't help worrying: "I hope my parents are all right."
At this time, he didn't know that the outside world had turned upside down, let alone what kind of heart-wrenching pain his family had experienced because of this change.
That night, someone came to tell Director Lu that as long as he could confess his mistakes, he would consider lightly punishing him, and told him that it was useless to struggle to the death, but they had solid evidence. Lu Xu wanted to say that the evidence was forged by his secretary, but he was so weak right now that he didn't even have the qualifications to see other people, let alone make a comeback. But even so, Lu Xu was still a little uneasy. He subconsciously thought that he could not admit it, at least not so quickly, otherwise his results might be very bad.
Therefore, in the following days of the investigation, Lu Xu expressed in a moderate but firm attitude that he did not do the leak of the whole city's test questions this time. It's very likely that his secretary did it. Chief Lu didn't name Song Chengcheng because he wasn't sure if the police had anyone from Song Chengcheng's side. But even if he said that, it was completely useless for the results that were almost confirmed.
In the past two weeks, Lu Banban has never been so deeply aware of the cruel reality of "without his father, he is nothing", because the money in the bank at home has been frozen, Grandpa Lu The cost of hospitalization and surgery was not enough from the beginning. In addition, the funeral of his grandmother also cost money. If it weren't for Ren Zhu and Ning Xun, Lubanban's half-year-old boy might be desperate. indefinite.
Even if Ren Zhu was trying his best to help Lu Banban, the changes in Lu Banban in the past two weeks were astonishing.
In the past, Lu Banban was a confident and even arrogant arrogant child. He felt that the second child was the third child, and no one could compare to him. Everyone should listen to him, but in the half month in the hospital, he found that no one would listen to him, and the only one he could order was himself. And when the money was not enough, Lu Banban also thought of borrowing money. Several of his followers were very rich at home. Usually, when he wanted to buy something, these younger brothers would always rush to pay, but he just called to say that he When he wanted to borrow money, no one was willing to lend him even a hundred dollars. There was even a classmate who always flattered him in front of him and told him in a very gloating and sneering tone:
"Your dad is in jail, you still want to borrow money from me?! You didn't bully me enough before? I was stupid to lend you money! You and your dad deserve it!"
Lu Banban angrily smashed his mobile phone. After a long time, he squatted down with difficulty and picked up the tattered mobile phone again, for fear that it would be broken by himself. After all, he has no extra money to buy a mobile phone.
Lu Banban became silent so far, and he began to sell his treasured figures and toys on the Internet one by one. In the first few days, Ren Zhu would order takeout to Lu Banban and Grandpa Lu, but from the tenth day, Lu Banban stopped him.
"Teacher, it's too expensive to order takeout. I'll do it myself at home."
Ren Zhu quietly looked at the boy who lost more than ten kilograms in ten days. After a long time, he nodded: "Okay, then you can do my part by the way. I'll stay and watch your grandfather."
Lu Banban nodded vigorously, and that afternoon, Ren Zhu and Grandpa Lu received a dish of noodles that were dark and salty. Ren Zhumian added some hot water to the noodles without changing their color, ate them by himself, and also fed them to Grandpa Lu. "Next time, remember to put less salt and more water."
Until this time, Lu Banban's low and nervous expression eased a lot. He retracted his right hand and hummed.
Then, Lu Banban sat silently beside Grandpa Lu without saying a word.
Ren Zhu looked at Lu Banban and understood that this would not work. If this kid keeps going like this, his whole life will be ruined.
So Ren Zhu got up and left and went directly to Zhou Lai's house.
"Mr. Ren, do you want me to comfort Lu Banban?" Zhou Lai's face was very strange, he seemed a little angry and a little happy, and a little bit annoyed: "His father made a mistake and was arrested, this It's his father's fault, what's the consolation?! Is he pitiful? If he is pitiful, then when my dad was arrested in the third grade, I was younger, wouldn't I be pitiful?! I He was three years younger than him at the time, do you know what he said at the time?"
Ren Zhu looked at the angry and sneering teenager in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "He said, your father is a big bad guy who should go to prison. Dad is not a good thing, and his son is not a good thing."
Ren Zhu lowered his eyes, he felt that he couldn't explain anything for Lu Banban. And as if that wasn't enough, Zhou Lai sneered again: "Then, he took his so-called good brothers and followers and bullied me for three years."
"I had the heart to stab him to death at that time, doesn't he just have a director's father? My dad was also the director before, and he was even more powerful than his father. Why did he bully me? He thought he would give it to me later. Apologise and I will forgive him? Why? I was bullied for three years, can he make up for it by apologizing? Now it's alright, his dad has also been arrested, and now he's the same as me. Isn't that good? what?"
Zhou Lai's voice was indifferent and trembling, and if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to spot it.
Ren Zhu listened carefully, so he found out.
"Yeah, he's the same as you, but his grandma died because of irritation. His former little followers began to mock him. His grandfather was in the hospital, but his family had no money for medical treatment. Also, he started I learned to cook, but I seem to have burned my hand. It's really miserable, maybe at this time he also wants to stab someone to death." Ren Zhu said quietly, "So, are you going to see him? Look Look at how embarrassed and pitiful he is now."
Zhou Lai raised his head sharply, his sharp eyes seemed to want to see something on his head teacher's face, but he didn't see anything, after an unusually quiet and terrifying long silence , Zhou Lai said in a hoarse voice: "Go. I'm going to laugh at him, and then tell him how annoying he was in the past."
So, Ren Zhu smiled and shook his head. After experiencing so much bullying and pain, he can still be so kind. How could such a good boy be a murderer? Even if his eyes are gloomy and his attitude is bad, this child is indeed a man. A little angel.
So, after half a month of gloom, on the morning of the 16th day, Lu Banban welcomed his first classmate to visit him. When Lu Banban looked up and saw Zhou Lai who was expressionless but was carrying a large insulated lunch box, for the first time there was an expression on his face that could be regarded as joy. But soon, his smile froze.
"Congratulations, you are the same as me."
Zhou Lai's words have never been so straightforward and hurtful.
Lu Banban wanted to be angry, but soon, he thought of something, and instantly annoyed and regret filled his expression. But he was still sad.
"Who are you showing your face with a dead face? I heard that your cooking is terrible. I made it three years earlier than you, and I don't know how much better than you. Grandpa and the teacher have worked hard enough, so don't toss them. stomach."
Zhou Lai didn't look at Lu Banban, but reached out and opened the lunch box, which contained a light portion of stir-fried vegetables, a portion of stewed chicken with mushrooms, a large portion of rice, and a separate bowl of millet porridge. It was for Grandpa Lu. .
Looking at the steaming food on the sick table, Lu Banban, who vowed from his heart that he would never cry again, burst into tears with sadness and joy again, and then said what he had always wanted to say but had no chance or courage to say.
"I'm sorry Zhou Lai, I bullied you so hatefully before, pushed the bad things I did on you, and even threw your homework and marked your book. I'm really, really sorry! I was wrong, I shouldn't be like that. You! You are already sad, I'm still so nasty, I was wrong! Hit me! I'll stand still and let you hit until you don't feel angry! Woohoo, I think about it now, I think I'm so damn good Ah woo woo!"
Lu Banban apologized and wept silently. It was not until this time that he deeply understood how vicious and hateful things he had done to Zhou Lai at that time. Then, no regrets.
Then, he finally received a positive response that Zhou Lai had never given since the semester.
"Because of how ugly you are crying. I forgive you for being ignorant at the time." Zhou Lai stood up straight, but the corners of his eyes were slightly red: "The teacher said that those who don't know are innocent. I believe you I didn't know I was so sad at the time. However, I won't treat you very well. Although I forgive you, I still don't like you very much."
Lu Banban burst into tears and laughed. "It's okay, it's okay, I'll take a look at the cottage! I'll do my best to be your good brother in the future!"
For the next half month, Lu Banban passed by Zhou Lai's rough treatment.
"Don't frown! Grandpa wants you to support me! I don't even have a grandpa to support me!"
"oh oh."
"Are you stupid? Don't put too much oil in cooking, keep away from it, or you will be scalded!"
"Ah, I was burned, you should have said it earlier!"
"Don't worry about those who speak ill of uncle, uncle hasn't been convicted yet. My dad also said that he would be sentenced for a long time, but he will be released in five years. At that time, I was in high school, just in time! Maybe your dad is old. God will be fine."
"But my dad seems to have really received a gift."
"… Oh, then wait until high school with me. We're pretty old anyway."
When someone bears great pain alone, it will always make people feel suffocated and hopeless, but when someone faces it with you, the pain will always become less painful in the encouragement of each other.
At this time, Ren Zhu also waited for the news of Ning Xun.
"The day after tomorrow is the final trial. I have already contacted Lu Xu. Although he is in a bad state after knowing the news outside, he will firmly cooperate with us to help him commute. The information about the forged information of Secretary Sun is now available. , but I don't know where he keeps it. He and Song Chengcheng are old foxes, if they don't confess their guilt and reveal their flaws, it will be very troublesome. "
Hearing this, Ren Zhu suddenly said after a while: "So, before the day after tomorrow, we have to find the leaked test paper that was originally forged or handled by Secretary Sun? And it's better for him to take the initiative to admit that he framed Lu Xu?"
Ning Xun nodded and raised his eyebrows suddenly: "Looking at your expression, I always feel like you are going to do something."
So Teacher Ren smiled: "Guess what?"
