The two days of the weekend passed quickly, and although Chen Ya had no pocket money, she would rather not spend money than ask me for money, which shows how much she hates me in her heart.

On Monday morning, I came to school as usual, and my tablemate, Liu Zhuzhu, also came, but he seemed to be in low spirits and seemed very tired, and had been dozing off on his desk since the beginning of the morning reading class. What makes me frown even more is that he didn't go to the dentist to repair his teeth in the past two days, he obviously took the 4,000 yuan I gave him for medical expenses, why did he take the money for tooth repairs?

At the end of school at noon, I finally couldn't help but ask him, "Zhuzi, why did you go last night and have been dozing off this morning?"

Liu Lianzhu shook his head and said that he didn't sleep well, so I asked him euphemistically why he didn't take advantage of the weekend to repair his teeth, and now he has two missing teeth and is leaking to speak. He shrugged his shoulders and said that the front teeth are not big teeth, it doesn't matter if they are repaired or not, after he finished speaking, he saw that the people in the classroom were all gone, so he lowered his voice and asked me: "Brother Chen, do you still have any money?"

I opened my eyes a little wide when I heard this, and I thought to myself, why didn't you repair your teeth for the 4,000 yuan, why did you ask for money?

But Liu Lianzhu is my only friend after all, and if he hadn't saved me the day before yesterday, my legs might have been broken by Guo Zhiqiang's men, so I was embarrassed to ask these questions anyway, so I just nodded and said: "My father has given me a little money every month for the past two years, and I rarely spend money on weekdays, so there is a little, what's wrong?"

Liu Lianzhu was a little embarrassed and said, "Then can you lend me another one or two thousand yuan, I will pay you back as soon as I win." ”

I was a little stunned when I heard this, listening to his tone, he seemed to be gambling recently, and even he lost the thousands of dollars I gave him yesterday. A few thousand yuan is already a lot of money for ordinary students, and it is also two months' living expenses for me, although the Chen family has money, but the father is very strict with the discipline of his children, and the pocket money is also stipulated every month, and he will definitely not give more.

And a few thousand yuan is a lot of money for a poor family like Liu Lianzhu, and I can't help but want to advise him to stop gambling because he can't afford to lose.

However, I saw that Liu Lianzhu was waiting for my reply at this moment, our brotherhood has actually just been established, and it is not appropriate to say some harsh words when the relationship is not strong, it will hurt my feelings. And someone just saved my life, and now they ask me to borrow some money, but I won't borrow it at length, and he will definitely think that I am not righteous enough and not enough friends.

So, after weighing it up, I nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the ATM next to the school commissary and withdraw the money for you." ”

Liu Lianzhu said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Brother Chen!"

The two of us went to the cafeteria to eat together, and when I came back, I went to the ATM and withdrew 2,000 yuan for Liu Lianzhu.

I borrowed money to Liu Lianzhu at noon, he was absent from class in the afternoon, and the head teacher Zhou Lao Man also lost his temper because of this matter, saying that Liu Lianzhu's academic performance was the first, and he didn't want to make progress, either sleeping in class, or skipping class, and he would report to the school sooner or later that this student would be expelled from the school. The head teacher also told the students not to learn Liu Lianzhu, and finally said to me by name: "Chen Cheng, I recently saw you and Liu Lianzhu getting very close, if you want to study hard, don't play with him in the future." You should get along with some of Chen Ya's classmates with good academic performance and work hard to improve. ”

During recess, Chen Ya came to my desk for the first time, looked at me condescendingly and said coldly, "Chen Cheng, come out with me." ”

Chen Ya almost never takes the initiative to talk to me, this time she actually took the initiative to talk to me, which surprised me a little, nodded and followed her out of the classroom, to the playground where no one was, I asked Chen Ya: "Sister, is there something wrong?"

I began to think that Chen Ya really had no choice but to ask me for pocket money, but I didn't expect the first thing she said was: "You seem to be very close to Liu Lianzhu recently?"

I nodded and said, "Well, we're friends." ”

Chen Ya snorted coldly: "My friend said that Liu Lianzhu has been borrowing money everywhere recently, and he is addicted to gambling. People like him are scum, don't get so close to him in the future. ”

I frowned: "I have a sense of proportion. ”

Chen Ya straightened her face: "I don't need your proportion, I want you not to be friends with Liu Lianzhu." ”

I was a little upset: "I told you to make friends that you don't seem to care, right?"

Chen Ya snorted and said, "You are now surnamed Chen with my father, as long as you are a member of the Chen family, I can manage it." I warn you in advance, you'd better not make any trouble that will lose face for the Chen family, otherwise I will tell my father to let you get out of the Chen family!"

I was a little stunned when I heard this, and then I realized that the Chen family is a well-known family in Liangguang, although the Chen family's hometown is not in Huahai City, but any children of the Chen family are proud of the family. Chen Ya also warned me not to associate with some troubled teenagers, lest I cause any trouble and lose face for the Chen family.

Chen Ya warned me and left, but I didn't think there was anything wrong with me making friends with Liu Lianzhu. He had the same illness as me, and he saved me once, and I can't break up with him because he gambles and doesn't want to make progress.

When I got out of school, I took out my mobile phone and called Liu Lianzhu and asked him where he was now.

Liu Lianzhu told me that he had just returned to school from outside, and that it was now his dormitory, so I went to his dormitory to look for him.

The dormitory was a mess, several of Liu Zhuzhu's roommates had dinner in the cafeteria and hadn't come back yet, and he was the only one in the dormitory. This guy seems to have just been beaten, his nose is blue and his face is swollen, and he is wiping the blood on his face with a bottle of bone-setting wine in his hand.

Seeing this, I frowned even more, and said in a deep voice, "Pillar, who hit you?"

Liu Lianzhu put down the wine and smiled bitterly at me: "It's okay!"

I stared at the wound on his face: "Who hit you?"

Liu Lianzhu shook his head: "Brother Chen, don't worry about this, I'm fine." ”

I couldn't help but think of Chen Ya saying that Liu Lianzhu was beaten up because of his gambling losses in other people's fields, is he embarrassed to tell me because of this? So, I didn't continue to ask, but just changed the topic and asked: "You have been a little wrong these days, and you haven't come to school in the afternoon, why did you go?"

Liu Lianzhu hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "I'll go to the black dog's field to try my luck......"

I said angrily, "As a result, you lost the money I lent you at noon?"

Liu Zhuzhu's head drooped, but soon he raised his head and looked at me again: "Brother Chen, do you still have money, lend me another 5,000, as long as 5,000!"

I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart: "You still want to gamble again?"

Liu Lianzhu said anxiously: "Brother, this time is different, this time I am sure that I will win, now no one can help me, brother, you must help me!"

"I'm sorry, I can't help you. I shook my head: "I don't know why you can't study honestly, I just reached out to my family to ask for money." You borrow money like 35,000, and you still use the money to gamble, I really can't do anything, you can do it. ”

"Brother Chen—"

I didn't care about Liu Lianzhu's begging, I turned around and left his dormitory, or the advice and warnings given to me by the teacher and Chen Ya were right, Liu Lianzhu just couldn't support the wall with mud, this kind of person is hopeless.

I came down from the 7th floor of the boys' dormitory, and when I passed the corridor on the 3rd floor, I happened to pass by the door of Guo Zhiqiang's dormitory, his door was hidden, Guo Zhiqiang smoked and chatted with a few boys inside, only to hear Guo Zhiqiang scolding and saying: "Damn, Liu Lianzhu's little bastard is hard-mouthed, and we beat him like a dead dog, he just refuses to tell the identity of the masked boy." ”

"Guo Shao, wait for a few of us to clean him up. ”

"No, it's easy to be punished for fighting at school, I went back to find a few friends in society to block him at the school gate, I don't believe that I can't dig out the identity of the masked boy from his mouth. ”

When I heard this, my heart shook wildly, it turned out that Liu Zhuzhu's blue nose and swollen face were beaten by Guo Zhiqiang. The reason is probably that Liu Lianzhu saved me from a few gangsters on Saturday, Guo Zhiqiang believed that Liu Lianzhu knew the masked boy, so he forced Liu Lianzhu to tell the identity of the masked boy, but it looked like Liu Lianzhu would rather be beaten than live or die than confess to me.

After I found out this, all the anger in my heart dissipated at once, and I turned around and went up the stairs to the 7th floor, and came to Liu Lianzhu's bedroom again.

Liu Zhuzhu was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head drooping, and when he heard the voice, he raised his head, and when he saw that it was me who went and returned, he shouted in surprise: "Brother Chen!"

I looked at the scars on his face: "It was Guo Zhiqiang who beat you because you refused to confess to me?"

Liu Lianzhu was stunned: "You know everything?"

I kicked him in anger and yelled, "Idiot!"

Liu Lianzhu whispered: "My father taught me to pay attention to the word loyalty and righteousness, so I would rather die than give my brother out." ”

"Guo Zhiqiang's bastard may be looking for gangsters in society to find you mildew recently, be careful yourself, if they are really dangerous, don't carry it to death, just give me out." After all, this matter started because of me, and I will find a way to settle Guo Zhiqiang in the near future and let him stop messing with you. When I said this, I looked at him again, and then asked, "How much money do you owe others outside, I will help you pay it off, you don't gamble, study hard." ”

Liu Zhuzhu's eyes rolled twice, and then said, "About eight or nine thousand!"

I glared at him: "Eight or nine thousand is nine thousand, I'll get ten thousand yuan for you later." This is the pocket money I have saved in the past two years, and you take it to clean up your mess, and I don't want to see you gamble again. ”

Liu Lianzhu's eyes were a little weak, and he didn't dare to look at me and said, "Well, I know!"
