This is the right number, looking at Xiao Wei's nervous movements, I am more convinced that it has something to do with him, but it is not easy to ask. I thought to myself, even if Xiao Wei does something, I can't look at his face and stop giving Professor Cao a bow, in that case, not only will I not receive the final payment, but I will also fall under Mrs. Cao's accusation. With her virtue, it would be too cost-effective to ask someone to find the police to find our bad luck. Just when I hesitated, Xiao Wei raised his head: "Boss Tian, how much do you charge for your mentor?"

"Oh, a total of 40,000 dollars. My heart fluttered and I replied.

Xiao Wei sighed softly and didn't say anything more.

I said, "Is there anything you want to ask me? Xiao Wei's hand picking vegetables was trembling, I asked him to think about it, and then stood up and walked out of the kitchen.

At noon, Xiao Wei made four dishes, but the taste was very bad, I don't know why. Professor Cao was very unhappy and asked Xiao Wei what was going on, he didn't always do it well, why didn't today's dishes taste it. Xiao Wei was embarrassed to say that he might have been a little distracted, and he received a call from his parents in the morning, asking what he could do to go home after graduation. Professor Cao asked, "Then what did you say?"

"I'll just say the exam isn't over yet. Xiao Wei replied. Professor Cao snorted and continued to eat.

After the meal, Xiao Wei cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and seemed to be unsettled. I'm actually more nervous than him, if he asks me for a direct showdown, what will I do? Unless he is willing to pay me compensation, but a poor rural student in Liaoning like Xiao Wei is unlikely to come up with 40,000 yuan.

Later, I saw Xiao Wei slowly walk to the door of the master bedroom, knock lightly, and then enter. I sat on the sofa and whispered to Kaohsiung about the conversation just now, and he said, "So what, we are businessmen, not good people, and we can't take care of so many idle things. At this time, I vaguely heard the sound of the two of them talking from the master bedroom, and then Xiao Wei's voice seemed to be getting higher and higher, and he was crying. I was curious, so I quietly walked to the door of the master bedroom and put my ear to the door to eavesdrop.

The bedroom door of ordinary people's homes is almost the same if it is ventilated on all sides, but Professor Cao's house is very carefully decorated, and the inconspicuous bedroom door is very good in sound insulation, and I can only vaguely hear a few intermittent words. Listening to Xiao Wei seem to say: "...... Please...... Teacher, have pity on me...... I can't go on...... Only five thousand ......"

I heard Professor Cao's voice say, "Get out...... Let's not talk about this now...... There are ...... customers I'll talk about it tomorrow......"

Xiao Wei said again: "My mother is sick...... I've got to go back and see...... Gotta take care of her...... Please......"

Professor Cao seemed impatient: "I said it a long time ago......" His voice was so low that he couldn't hear it clearly. I heard Xiao Wei say something again, "It's really not...... The harvest at home is not good......"

Professor Cao added, "...... Borrow and look at ...... Okay, it's fast...... Go out and ......" Then both of them stopped talking, and I hurriedly retreated to the living room, Kaohsiung looked at my behavior, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xiao Wei opened the bedroom door and came out, then walked into the kitchen and closed the door, as if he was on the phone. I tiptoed over again to eavesdrop, the door of the kitchen is soundproof, it seems that there is no privacy, I heard that Xiao Wei seems to be borrowing money from someone, and ask them to help find a way, the amount seems to be tens of thousands. I thought to myself, is Xiao Wei really going to pay me to stop worrying about Professor Cao's affairs?

In the evening, Xiao Wei made four more dishes, Professor Cao and Mrs. Cao both said that the taste was very unpleasant, Mrs. Cao reprimanded Xiao Wei for whether he did it on purpose, and lost the face of the Cao family in front of the guests, Xiao Wei had to explain with a smile.

That night, Azambudan cast a spell for Professor Cao again, completely unraveling his head. Professor Cao vomited a little more, but not much, and the living room was paved with floor tiles, which was easy to clean, of course, this was also Xiao Wei's job.

The next morning, Kaohsiung and I got up early, Xiao Wei set the breakfast, and Professor Cao's family liked to eat a Western-style breakfast, which was sandwiches, ham and omelette, and milk. The phone rang, and he hid in the kitchen to pick it up. Mrs. Cao snorted: "Why has this kid made so many phone calls in the past two days? Professor Cao was eating a sandwich and reading the newspaper, casually saying that it seemed to be his family's business.

Xiao Wei came back and sat at the table, eating slowly, his face was ugly. Mrs. Cao was very angry again: "Who are you putting on this dead face for? I'm hungry for you?" Professor Cao said forget it, what kind of face he has to do with you, just eat your food.

At this time, Xiao Wei put down the bread and hung his head and didn't eat. Mrs. Cao asked, "What's the matter, you can't say two words? Now you have a bigger temper than the mentor!"

Xiao Wei shed tears: "Master, I, my hometown called, my mother is sick, it is a cerebral infarction, in the hospital in the county, let me go back to take care of it, but I ......" Mrs. Cao waved her hand and said Don't always find this kind of low-level excuse, you either change it or don't mention it.

"Master, teacher, what I said is true, I really didn't lie to you!" Xiao Wei replied with tears in his eyes. But Mrs. Cao and Professor Cao didn't pay attention to him, and only cared about eating for themselves.

Kaohsiung asked, "Is your mother in the hospital?" Xiao Wei nodded. Kaohsiung said to Mrs. Cao, he is just your student, not your slave, why don't you let him go home to take care of his family, this is illegal.

Mrs. Cao replied: "Boss Gao, you don't understand this, he is now a doctoral student in our family, and his defense results are too poor, so he hasn't finally passed." He doesn't have to study hard, and he finds all kinds of excuses to sneak home all day long, even if he gives up his degree and doesn't want it, our Lao Cao has to bring his class grades! In order to bring Xiao Wei, how much effort did our Lao Cao put in, how could he give up halfway? So this kid's words can't be believed. ”

"I saw that you treat this doctoral student as a nanny, and one person can work for three people! Kaohsiung said with a smile.

Professor Cao was very unhappy with this, and he put down the newspaper: "Do you think I am willing to let Xiao Wei work in my house? Then I can't help it! He has already completed the semester and can't continue to live in school, and if he fails to pass the defense, he can't go home, so I, the tutor, can watch him, a poor student, live in a hotel outside? So I had to let him eat and live in my house, and review by himself at night, how much money he saved in a month's living expenses, have you calculated?"

Kaohsiung nodded: "If you want to say that, you are still a good teacher." Professor Cao said of course, at this time, Xiao Wei was panting with anger, Mrs. Cao said What are you doing here, and you are playing a little temper, right? Professor Cao seemed to be afraid of something, and glanced at his wife and asked Xiao Wei to eat well.

Xiao Wei slowly raised his head: "Teacher, are you really a good teacher?"
