"Teacher Tao, I don't want to study anymore. Zhang Xingchen lowered his head, and no one could see his expression clearly at the moment.

"Then what do you want to do?" Tao Li was stunned for a moment, but then asked rhetorically.

He didn't expect Zhang Xingchen to take the initiative to find himself, and the first sentence was "I don't want to study", Tao Li was originally going to talk to him alone after class in the evening self-study.

It's just that Tao Li didn't directly persuade him to give up such thoughts as soon as he came up, but threw the problem at him again.

"I want to go to work, I want to go out and earn money. Zhang Xingchen did not hesitate at all, but replied categorically.

"Where are you going to work? Okay, let me change the question, even if you know where to work, have you ever thought that you are still a minor, which factory dares to ask you?" Tao Li looked at Zhang Xingchen and asked.

Zhang Xingchen was silent because he didn't know how to answer Tao Li's question.

"Xingchen, do you know that with your current grades, as long as you keep it, Yenching University and Qingbei University are simply in the bag, even if they are bad, they are at least a famous school like Jinling University, don't you really want to experience it?"

Seeing that Zhang Xingchen didn't speak, Tao Li continued.

"Actually, it's not good to go to college, I'm starting to work now, maybe when they graduate from college, they won't earn as much as I do!" Zhang Xingchen said in a tone that pretended not to care.

In fact, the day before the start of school, Zhang Xingchen wanted to talk to Tao Li about it, at the beginning of the new semester every year, it was the most painful time for Zhang Xingchen, because he had to worry about how to pay the tuition, the first two years of making up for the remaining tuition, but this year, his younger brother is about to go to high school, and the family's expenses have increased all of a sudden.

The younger brother is still young, so he can't stop going to school, anyway, Zhang Xingchen feels that the knowledge he has learned in the past few years in high school is almost enough, even if he goes to society, he will not be deceived because of illiteracy, the children of poor families have long been in charge, Zhang Xingchen thought about it for two days, and finally mustered up the courage to tell Tao Li about it today.

He no longer wants to see his mother borrow money from others in a low voice for his own tuition, nor does he want his mother to work until ten o'clock at night before coming home from work for such a small amount of overtime pay, and he doesn't want his brother, who is three years younger than him, to be unable to concentrate on studying because he is worried about money.

He is the eldest son in the family, and the burden of the family should be shared by him!

"You look up at me and tell me that you really don't want to go to the highest university in China to continue your studies?" Tao Li sighed in his heart, but asked anyway.

"Look up at me! You have the courage to come here and tell me that you don't want to study, don't you have the courage to face me?" said Tao Li again.

Zhang Xingchen raised his head slowly, just glanced at Tao Li, and quickly shifted his gaze, he really didn't dare to look directly into Tao Li's eyes!

Tao Li sighed, didn't continue to ask, but touched Zhang Xingchen's head, "You can study with peace of mind, you don't have to worry about other things, the teacher also pointed out that you were admitted to Yenching University to fulfill my dream!"

"Your situation is known to the teacher, remember, poverty is not a sin, but you still have to read books, otherwise, do you really plan to go to work outside now, and then this is the case for the rest of your life? Don't you want to change the fate of yourself and your whole family through reading?"

Zhang Xingchen, who had endured it for a long time, finally couldn't hold it back at this moment, and sobbed softly, no matter what, he was just a seventeen-year-old child.

"The tuition fee for your third year of high school, as well as the tuition fee for your next university, the teacher will help you pay it all, and you don't have to have any psychological burden, the teacher lent you this money, and you need to pay it back to me in the future, so after crying, go back to the classroom to study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination, the teacher really pointed at you and gave me a long face!"

Tao Li wiped away the tears on Zhang Xingchen's face and said earnestly. Although Tao Li's family is not as rich and wealthy as Ren Yan's family, after all, his parents have serious jobs and are considered a well-off family, and they have not worried about money since they were young, so Zhang Xingchen's mood, it is really difficult for him to empathize!

But no matter what, as his teacher, and even more so as his class teacher, he can't let such a student drop out of school!

"Teacher Tao, thank you!" Zhang Xingchen said in a choked voice.

Tao Li's words really hit his soft underbelly and went straight to the gentle zone in his heart! After holding back for so many days, there were some things that Zhang Xingchen couldn't say to others, but now that they were finally released, he suddenly felt a lot lighter in his heart.

"What is there to thank you, this money is lent to you, but you need to pay it back to me in the future! But for the sake of you being my student, I won't charge you interest!" Tao Li waved his hand and said with a pretending indifference.

"Okay, hurry back to the classroom for self-study, and wipe away your tears, otherwise people who don't know will think that I reprimanded you to cry!" Tao Li handed over a pack of napkins and said with a smile.

"Got it, thank you Mr. Tao!" Zhang Xingchen burst into tears and smiled, took the napkin and said.

"Teacher Tao, can you not tell my mother about today's matter, I don't want her to worry, I will say that the school will give me a tuition waiver after I go back, okay!" Before leaving, Zhang Xingchen said with a little hesitation.

"Got it. You just need to study with peace of mind! Remember, you can't lose to money! This sentence is not only for you now, but also for you in the future! Also, reading is your only way out, so you should know how to do it, and don't give up lightly!"

Tao Li thought about it, and still emphasized.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Tao!" This is the first time Zhang Xingchen has said thank you today.

After Zhang Xingchen left the office, Tao Li opened the mobile banking APP, and started his internship in March this year, and the salary was not much now, Ni Zhihao spent a lot of money in the first two days of his departure, and when he taught in the orphanage during the summer vacation, it was also a lot of expenses, and now the balance in the card is only more than 4,000 yuan.

Counting this month's rent of more than 1,000 yuan, plus the more than 2,000 tuition fees paid to Zhang Xingchen, Tao Li's living expenses this month are only less than 1,000 yuan! Originally, Tao Li was going to use the money to do something else, but now it seems that he can only think about it!

However, Tao Li did not regret it at all, if there were other students like Zhang Xingchen in their class, Tao Li would still take out the rest of the money without hesitation, if it was not enough, even if it was borrowed, he would also solve the student's tuition matter!

It's not Tao Li pretending to be a moral emperor, his own values are like this, he does this, not for show, not for others to see, but from the bottom of his heart to help others!

It's just that his strength is still very thin on his own, so Tao Li is thinking, is there any other way to solve the problem of tuition fees for these poor students?
