Yang Xiaowei took Lingling back to school and happened to meet Principal Yang. Ever since the last time they evaluated outstanding teachers, Yang Xiaowei and Principal Yang had become estranged. They would nod to express greetings when they met. Sometimes Yang Xiaowei also deliberately avoided it. After all, they were strangers. The leader would not look up when he looked down, but Yang Xiaowei felt that he could not afford to offend him but could not hide from him.
Principal Yang also felt Yang Xiaowei's alienation, saw her coming in with a child, and stopped her.
"Yang Xiaowei, why hasn't this student gone home yet?" Principal Yang walked over and looked at Lingling.
"There was something going on at home, and her mother asked me to take care of her for a while!" Yang Xiaowei said.
"Oh, but students should be handed over to their parents after school. Otherwise, if something happens, the school cannot be held responsible!" Principal Yang nodded and said.
"I understand, Colonel Yang, his family situation is a bit special today, so I will help him temporarily!" Yang Xiaowei said.
"Did her father go gambling again? Be careful. There are some things that our school cannot control. Please protect yourself!" After Principal Yang finished speaking, he returned to his dormitory.
Yang Xiaowei looked at Principal Yang's back with mixed feelings in her heart. A large part of what Principal Yang said just now was still about her. As for what happened before, no one is a saint, and he only stood in the position of an uncle to protect him. Someone you want to protect!
Yang Xiaowei took Lingling to the dormitory, washed Lingling's face, and looked at the wound on her forehead. Fortunately, the wound was not deep and had already begun to scar.
Yang Xiaowei gently put Lingling on the bed, patted her back, and imitated the way her mother sang lullabies when she was a child, and sang to Lingling. Perhaps because she was too tired, Lingling fell asleep after a while.
Lingling was very well-behaved in her sleep. What a cute little person. She really couldn't understand that Lingling's father would be so cruel and want to sell her.
Since coming to this place, Xiaowei has seen too much. Last time it was Meiling, who was forced to drop out of school to work. This time it was Lingling. The patriarchal mentality was deeply rooted in this ethnic village. Yang Xiaowei was sad for their fate, and was even more glad that she did not Born here.
Originally, Yang Xiaowei was afraid that Lingling's father would come to snatch the child in the middle of the night, but when she saw the lights on in Principal Yang's dormitory, she felt inexplicably relieved. Liu Qiaozhen said that Xu Benshan was afraid of Principal Yang and did not dare to come to school.
That night, Yang Xiaowei couldn't sleep. She didn't know how to help Lingling. She couldn't let Lingling live here all the time. Lingling always had to go home. Unless Liu Qiaozhen divorced, she couldn't imagine the future of the mother and daughter. day.
Early the next morning, Yang Xiaowei was busy washing and braiding Lingling's hair. Students also arrived one after another.
Zhang Qinli came early today. Zhang Qinli's dormitory is next to Yang Xiaowei. When she saw Xu Ling leaving Yang Xiaowei's dormitory, she asked strangely: "Why is she so early?"
"She slept with me last night. Her mother had something to do, so she asked me to take care of her!" Yang Xiaowei said with a smile.
"Oh, you are a never-married person, how can you take care of children?" Zhang Qinli asked with a smile.
"Haha, it's my first time, but Lingling is still quite well-behaved. I know how to sleep with her, and she doesn't make any noise!" Yang Xiaowei said, looking at Xu Ling who ran to the classroom.
"Xiaowei, you are not a local and don't understand her family's situation. You'd better stay out of her family's affairs! Don't cause trouble for yourself!" Zhang Qinli whispered.
"Principal Yang said the same thing yesterday. What's wrong? Is her family very complicated?" Yang Xiaowei asked in a low voice.
"I shouldn't talk about others behind their backs, you'd better be careful." After Zhang Qinli finished speaking, she went into the dormitory.
Yang Xiaowei had seen Xu Benshan's terror yesterday. She originally wanted to discuss it with someone, but Liu Qiaozhen asked her not to tell others. Since she agreed, she had to keep this secret.
Students all pay for lunch at school. After lunch, Teacher Zhou will watch the students take a lunch break. The other teachers can take a short break. Taking advantage of this time, Yang Xiaowei thought about going to see Liu Qiaozhen. After all, she was injured yesterday. It's not easy.
Yang Xiaowei didn't dare to go to her house for fear of meeting Xu Benshan. She wanted to go to the clinic first to see if she had gone to work!
When they arrived at the clinic, they saw that Xu Caifeng was the only one there. Yang Xiaowei walked in bravely. When Xu Caifeng saw her, she said awkwardly: "Xiaowei, are you here? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Yang Xiaowei said unnaturally: "I...I'm looking for Liu Qiaozhen!"
"Sister Liu didn't come today. She called and said she was sick. If you need anything, I'll tell her!" Xu Caifeng said hurriedly.
"No, it's okay!" Yang Xiaowei said and turned around to leave.
Xu Caifeng chased her out and said, "Xiaowei, let's talk!"
"I'm still busy going to class!" Yang Xiaowei quickened her pace.
Xu Caifeng followed her and said, "Xiaowei, do you always hate me for taking away Duan Yu?"
"No, I have nothing to do with him, we are just playing for fun!" Yang Xiaowei said.
People were coming and going on the road. Xu Caifeng pointed to the clinic and said, "Xiaowei, go and sit in the clinic for a while. It won't delay you for a long time!"
Yang Xiaowei looked at people's curious looks and had no choice but to go to the clinic again with Xu Caifeng.
"Xiaowei, I...I'm pregnant!" Xu Caifeng said with her head lowered.
Yang Xiaowei raised her head and looked at her in surprise, pregnant?
"Xiaowei, I know Duan Yu likes you and he doesn't like me, but we have no choice. I can't let my child be born without a father. In this place, I will be drowned by spittle stars. I Your whole life will be ruined." Xu Caifeng murmured.
Yang Xiaowei was shocked. She didn't know how to answer Xu Caifeng. Xu Caifeng was pregnant and they had a child. She was just a joke.
"Haha, Caifeng, congratulations to you, but please don't show off your happiness in front of me again. I'm not a saint. Betrayal is betrayal. From now on, everyone will be safe and sound!" After Yang Xiaowei finished speaking, she turned around and left.
"Yang Xiaowei, don't you have any responsibility for this matter? If you hadn't given me the idea that day and left after we were drunk, would I have been pregnant?" Xu Caifeng couldn't help shouting at Yang Xiaowei.
"Haha, Xu Caifeng, am I the one who made you have a relationship? You don't like him yourself. Please help me. Stop talking. Do you blame me for getting pregnant? Shouldn't you thank me? Otherwise, how would you get Duan Yu? !" Yang Xiaowei also roared excitedly.
"Yang Xiaowei, you feel aggrieved. Don't I feel aggrieved? You clearly know that Duan Yu and I have had a relationship, but you still stay with him regardless of my feelings. Do you regard me as a friend? Now I have good intentions. I tried to explain to you but you were aggressive, Yang Xiaowei, please leave, we will never be friends again!" Xu Caifeng went into the clinic angrily.
"Whoever wants to be friends with you, tell Duan Yu that I hate him for the rest of my life!" Yang Xiaowei finished speaking and walked quickly towards the school.
She didn't want to quarrel with Xu Caifeng, but as soon as she heard that she was pregnant, all the words in her heart to persuade her were in vain.
Xu Caifeng originally planned to make peace with Yang Xiaowei, but Yang Xiaowei was aggressive and she was still aggrieved. When had she ever been ridiculed like this in this village?
Yang Xiaowei walked out for a while. Although she was angry, she still thought about Liu Qiaozhen. She didn't know how he was doing. He didn't even go to class, and he didn't know if he could pick up his child after school in the afternoon.
She thought about it and walked to Liu Qiaozhen's house. She had met Xu Benzhan yesterday and was quite polite to her. Even if Xu Benzhan was at home, it should be no big deal.
Yang Xiaowei slowly approached Liu Qiaozhen's house. The courtyard door was closed tightly. She didn't dare to knock on the door, so she quietly looked through the crack in the door. It seemed that no one was there.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, voices came from the room. Yang Xiaowei quickly stopped her hand and listened carefully.
"You are so seriously injured, what should you do with your child?" a man said.
"I asked the school teachers to keep an eye on it. Xu Benshan didn't dare to go to school to make trouble!" Liu Qiaozhen said.
"It's still not a man. How can it hit a woman so hard?" the man said distressedly.
"It's okay. He only has this ability. Why are you still here at home? What will you do if he sees you?" Liu Qiaozhen whispered.
"No, he is having fun now!" the man said.
"Xu Benshan said he wanted to sell Lingling. He can do anything. Please help me find a way. I can't live without a child!" Liu Qiaozhen said.
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare. We are a society governed by law now. If he dares, we will call the police!" the man said.
As they talked, there was no sound inside. Yang Xiaowei pressed her ears tightly against the crack of the door, but still couldn't hear. The man in the room was obviously not Xu Benshan, so who was it? Just as Yang Xiaowei was wondering, the door opened. Yang Xiaowei lost her balance and fell in.
She secretly complained in her heart, it was too bad, her image was gone, a teacher was actually caught and revealed by the wall in front of a villager's house.
"Teacher Yang! Why are you here! Is something wrong with Lingling?" Liu Qiaozhen hurriedly helped her up and said anxiously.
Yang Xiaowei stood up awkwardly and said, "No, no, I'm worried about you. Go to the clinic and you won't be there. Come over to the house and take a look!"
"Oh, I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I asked for leave!" Liu Qiaozhen said sheepishly.
Yang Xiaowei looked up and saw a man standing next to Liu Qiaozhen. He was about the same height as Liu Qiaozhen and looked like an honest farmer.
Seeing Yang Xiaowei looking at the man, Liu Qiaozhen said quickly: "Teacher Yang, this is my cousin, who lives in the next village. He heard that I was beaten, come and see me!"
Yang Xiaowei nodded and said, "Oh, will Lingling still stay at my place tonight?"
"Well, Teacher Yang, please help me watch her one more night. I will pick her up after school tomorrow!" Liu Qiaozhen took Yang Xiaowei's hand and said.
"Okay, Lingling's mother, you must come to pick up the child tomorrow!" After Yang Xiaowei said that, she hurriedly walked out of the yard.
She recalled the conversation she just heard and felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She looked at the time and saw that the students' lunch break was almost over, so she hurriedly ran to school.
After school in the afternoon, Zhang Qinli saw Yang Xiaowei leading Lingling to the dormitory again, and hurriedly caught up with her and said, "Isn't her mother coming to pick her up? What's going on at home?"
"Her mother is sick. I went to their house just now. It seemed that her cousin was there. I didn't ask. She asked me to take care of her for one more night!" Yang Xiaowei said that since she fainted that day, Zhang Qinli took care of her. She felt much closer to her.
"Cousin? Is her husband not here?" Zhang Qinli asked.
"Teacher Zhang, what kind of person is Lingling's father?" Yang Xiaowei suddenly asked.
"Are you talking about Xu Benshan? He and the director are cousins. They were very good in the first two years and could endure hardships. I don't know what happened in the past two years. I indulge in gambling every day." Zhang Qinli said.
"Then he is short of money?" Yang Xiaowei asked.
"Can gamblers not be short of money? No one can solve their family problems. I advise you not to get involved in this muddy water!" Zhang Qinli advised.
"But, Xu Benshan wants to sell Lingling!" Yang Xiaowei whispered in Zhang Qinli's ear, "I can't ignore this!"
Zhang Qinli was not surprised at all and said, "Teacher Yang, you are so kind. Some things are only visible on the surface."
Yang Xiaowei couldn't understand the meaning of Zhang Qinli's words, but she knew that Liu Qiaozhen was not that simple, so she decided that if Liu Qiaozhen didn't come to pick up the child tomorrow, she would definitely send the child back to her. Didn't she still have a cousin? Her cousin can also help her take care of the children.
After school in the afternoon, Lingling saw that her mother did not come to pick her up. She kept crying and asking for her mother. No matter how much Yang Xiaowei coaxed her, she could not coax her. Yang Xiaowei could only drag Lingling to Lingling's house again.
But this time, the door of Lingling's house was locked with a big lock, and no one was there. Yang Xiaowei was anxious, wondering where Liu Qiaozhen would go? And Lingling kept crying.
Yang Xiaowei had no choice. During the day, Zhang Qinli said that Xu Guoqing was Xu Benshan's cousin, so they must know where the two couples went?
But Yang Xiaowei remembered that she and Caifeng had such a fierce quarrel during the day, and it was not appropriate to go to their house now. She led Lingling to wander in front of Xu Caifeng's house. Duan Yu happened to come back for dinner. Since he and Caifeng got engaged, he has been here after get off work. Come.
"Xiaowei, why are you here?" Duan Yu was stunned for a moment.
Yang Xiaowei heard Duan Yu's voice and hurriedly picked up Lingling and turned to leave. Duan Yu hurriedly chased after her and reached out to grab her.
"Let me go, it's not good for others to see you!" Yang Xiaowei shook off Duan Yu's hand.
"Xiaowei, can I explain to you?" Duan Yu said.
"No need to explain, I know you are happy to be a father, congratulations!" Yang Xiaowei looked away.
"You know? So you also know that I have no choice, right?" Duan Yu said hurriedly.
"Last resort? Duan Yu, what you call last resort is to get engaged to someone else without saying a word?" Yang Xiaowei looked at him blankly and said.
"I... Xiaowei, I don't dare to tell you, I'm afraid you will be sad!" Duan Yu said painfully.
"Then treat me like a fool and keep me in the dark, Duan Yu. I will never forgive you in this life!" After Yang Xiaowei finished speaking, she threw the child into Duan Yu's hands and said, "This is the child of your relative. , his parents are not here, help me give it to your father-in-law!"
Before Duan Yu could react, Yang Xiaowei handed the child over to him, turned around and ran away. Duan Yu looked at the crying child in his hand and had no choice but to take it back to Caifeng's house.
