Chapter Forty-Six: Lan Lan's Difficulties
As the gym door closed, everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave.
At this time, Lan Lan's phone rang, it was an ordinary mobile phone. When Lan Lan saw the phone number on it, she frowned, hesitated, and finally picked it up.
After picking up the phone, Lan Lan has been listening to what the other side is saying, judging from Lan Lan's heavy expression, the other party's attitude is obviously not very good, but for some reason, Lan Lan has been enduring it, and after a while, Lan Lan said: "It's late today, can't you not go back?" β
After Lan Lan finished speaking, she only heard the indiscriminate insults on the other end of the phone, but she couldn't hear the specifics, and finally hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Lan Lan sighed helplessly, and finally looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I still have some things, so I'll leave first." With that, he left.
None of the people present cared about this, only Zhang Meiting showed a worried expression, obviously, she knew some reasons, but she couldn't stop it, after all, it was their own business.
Sun Jiafei saw Zhang Meiting's worries, walked over, and asked, "Senior sister, is there any difficulty with Senior Sister Lanlan?" β
Seeing Sun Jiafei coming, Zhang Meiting hesitated, sighed, and finally decided to tell the reason.
"Jiajia, in fact, it is already very difficult for Lan Lan to join the volleyball team and play." Zhang Meiting couldn't help but recall the past.
"I just joined the volleyball team when I was a freshman, and the volleyball team was already going downhill at that time, but at that time, there were still seniors in the third and fourth years to support, and their strength was much stronger than ours, just because the volleyball team declined, there was no training, they were naturally busy with their own affairs, and when they graduated, the team did not play well, and they were naturally crushed by the economic and trade women's volleyball team. At that time, I was the only one who struggled to support myself, because there was a senior sister who handed over the captain to me when she graduated, hoping that one day I could make a comeback for the volleyball team. However, after so many years of hard work, I can only maintain the status quo without any improvement, and I am very sorry for the sustenance of that senior sister. A lot of girls who played well went to other teams because the volleyball team couldn't develop, and eventually there were fewer and fewer people. β
Zhang Meiting talked about the past of the team, everyone got together, and listened to her story, for the current team, only Zhang Meiting and Lan Lan are seniors, and only the two of them know about this past, and some juniors only know a little, so everyone is interested.
Lan Lan also joined the volleyball team in her freshman year, at that time, her strength was not outstanding, and the training time was unstable, and she could only come once in a while, but she still worked hard and never gave up. Slowly, everyone left, and only Lan Lan accompanied me and helped me recruit people and develop the volleyball team. β
When Sun Jiafei heard this, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, senior sister, I remember that when I first joined the volleyball team, I was introduced by senior sister Xinyan, and she hasn't been helping all the time?" Also, why didn't she come to training? β
Hearing Sun Jiafei ask about Wu Xinyan, Zhang Meiting showed embarrassment.
"Speaking of Xinyan, it's really helpless! Originally, I was the president of the club, but the school has a rule that the president of the club cannot be a senior student, so I can only hand it over this year. Xinyan is a junior this year, and she joined the volleyball club when she was a freshman, but she joined the volleyball club not to play, but for other reasons. β
Other reasons? Aren't all clubs chosen by themselves? Why join a volleyball club if you don't like to play?
"Actually, at that time, Xinyan fell in love with a boy in the volleyball team." Zhang Meiting said embarrassedly.
It's no wonder that now everyone understands that this kind of situation is not uncommon in college, and what about joining a club in order to be able to be with the person you like.
"The most embarrassing thing is that in less than a year, the men's volleyball team was disbanded because no one did, the boy went to other clubs, and Xinyan stayed in the volleyball club because she was too lazy to change it.
It's really dramatic, it seems that this Wu Xinyan's life is really hard!
"Besides, Lan Lan, her life is really bitter!" As soon as Zhang Meiting mentioned Lan Lan, she became sad.
"Actually, I didn't expect Lan Lan to come to the training this time, because she rarely participated in the training before."
"Senior sister, is it because of any special reason?" Sun Jiafei sensed something and asked cautiously.
"Yes, Lan Lan didn't come to the training not because she didn't want to come, but because she couldn't come!"
Can't come? What's the situation, isn't college easy? And it's all your own decision, what's not to come?
Because of the difficult conditions at home, Lan Lan usually has to work and study, and the tuition fees are earned by herself, so she usually has to work part-time in addition to classes. It's just that she loves volleyball very much, so she plays whenever she has time, and she works hard, because time is really precious to her. β
Hearing this, everyone showed sympathetic eyes, the university is the most beautiful place, there is no constraints, you make your own decisions, and the family will send money to provide for living expenses, you can eat what you like, you can play what you want to play, it is simply heaven, of course, these are for these people, for Lan Lan, it is already very difficult to go to school well.
"Then, Senior Sister, Senior Sister Lan Lan is in such a hurry to leave today, is she also going to work?"
"No, speaking of today, hey." As soon as she said this, Zhang Meiting couldn't help but feel a little worried, she calmed down and said slowly: "Lan Lan not only has to work by herself to earn tuition, but also take care of her family. β
Taking care of the home? Is there a sick person in the house?
"Lan Lan's parents divorced since she was a child, because her father likes to drink a lot, and he always beats her mother and her when he drinks too much, and in the end, her mother couldn't stand it anymore and left the house, and her father completely gave up on himself because of her mother's departure, drinking every day, and either scolding or roaring at Lan Lan."
Zhang Meiting said to herself, everyone listened to it in their hearts, and couldn't help but feel a trace of anger. Men are really inferior enough to beat women.
"Actually, Lan Lan's family situation is okay, there is a supermarket at home, and there is no problem with self-sufficiency, but it was all run by her mother before, and her father didn't care, she only knew how to ask for money, and now her mother has left, her father has no choice but to take care of the supermarket by himself, often drunk in the supermarket, so that the frequent customers are very afraid, over time, there are fewer and fewer people, and her father is very willful, and if he doesn't want to open the door, he won't open it, and finally the conditions at home are getting worse and worse, and the tuition fees left by her mother to Lan Lan have been squandered by her father. There was no way, Lan Lan went out to work. Her father didn't care about the supermarket, and asked Lan Lan to take care of it, and then he could go and drink. β
"That's too much, isn't it? If Lao Yang dares to do this, I will punch him directly and then cut off the relationship! After Yang Xueqing heard this, she said angrily, obviously she was also so angry that she couldn't do it.
"Say so, but that's her dependent relative, if she doesn't care, her father really has no one to care about, even if it's you, you can't do it." Sun Jiafei said. There is no way to give up relatives, especially parents, how can they cut off the relationship so easily.
After listening to Sun Jiafei's words, Zhang Meiting nodded and continued: "Yes, there is no way to ignore it. So Lan Lan needs to go home often and take care of the supermarket, and today, after class in the evening, she should go back, but Lan Lan didn't go because she wanted to participate in training too much. β
"Was that the call from her father?"
"Yes, it should be her father who drank too much, and when he woke up, he saw that the supermarket was closed. Usually Lan Lan is taking care of the supermarket at this time, if she doesn't agree, her father will beat her, today I saw that Lan Lan was actually disobedient, so I called her so late and asked her to go back to open the door, it must be inevitable to be scolded, maybe she will be beaten, hey. Speaking of this, Zhang Meiting was even more worried.
"How can there be such a person!"
"yes, it's abominable!"
"Yes, I really can't stand this kind of selfish person, if it were me, I would run away from home!"
"I really want to beat him up and help Senior Sister Lanlan get angry!"
β¦β¦
After Zhang Meiting finished speaking, she immediately aroused everyone's public indignation, how can such a person be qualified to be a father, I can't wait to dismantle him now!
"Hey, Lan Lan is really hard, in such a family, she is so kind in her heart, she refuses to give up her father, works hard to earn money, takes care of business, and hopes that her father can quit drinking." Zhang Meiting said helplessly.
"She's too naΓ―ve, it's impossible for that kind of person to quit drinking, I'm a little angry, what should I do, why don't I go and beat her father secretly?" Yang Xueqing said viciously, it could be seen that she really wanted to beat people.
After Yang Xueqing finished speaking, the atmosphere was a little wrong, although everyone was full of righteous indignation, but if they really wanted to beat up others, how could they do it, and they were also the father of their teammates, which was too ruthless.
"Xueqing, don't be impulsive, don't try to solve problems with violence in everything." Sun Jiafei frowned and said, the main thing is that she is not afraid that Yang Xueqing will beat others, but even if she goes, can she beat others, isn't it herself who suffers in the end, and she will make Lan Lan embarrassed.
"So what do you say? You can't just just watch it, can you? If you want me to say, there is another way, her father is nothing more than a shortcoming of drinking money, isn't it over if he gives him money, so that the money earned by the supermarket is enough for Lan Lan to spend herself. Yang Xueqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said this solution.
"Lan Lan is a student after all, she can't earn too much money from her part-time job, and she has to pay tuition, and the supermarket itself is not good, and it was basically taken away by her father, where is the extra money!" Zhang Meiting analyzed.
"It's okay, if it doesn't work, I'll help her share some money, that kind of drunkard can ask for a few dollars." Yang Xueqing said domineeringly.
After Yang Xueqing finished speaking, Zhang Meiting was stunned for a moment, she clearly remembered that Yang Xueqing had a conflict with Lan Lan when she first came to the volleyball team, and she looked down on Lan Lan very much, but she didn't expect that she wanted to take the initiative to help now, Zhang Meiting glanced at Yang Xueqing again.
If Yang Xueqing knew Zhang Meiting's thoughts, she would definitely be stunned. Yang Xueqing is a big grinning person, she has long forgotten about this matter, and she herself is jealous and hateful, and she wants to take care of it when she sees something that makes her unhappy.
Although Yang Xueqing said that she wanted to help, she was still stopped by Zhang Meiting.
"This doesn't work, Lan Lan has a strong self-esteem, I wanted to help her a few times, but she refused, just like today, Lan Lan would not have come to the gym, after all, it costs money, but she still gritted her teeth and came, I originally wanted to help her get this money, but she still refused, hey."
"It's really a shame to die!" Yang Xueqing said casually, she is the kind of straight person, and she will not beat around the bush.
"I think Senior Sister Lanlan has her own difficulties, if we want to help her, not in terms of money, but in the place where she needs help the most, so as to really help her out of the predicament, Senior Sister Lanlan is a senior and has not enjoyed college life, which is really pitiful." Sun Jiafei thought for a while and said.
"Where do you need help the most? Jiajia, what do you have a good idea? Hearing Sun Jiafei's words, Zhang Meiting said with a little expectation, she has such a good relationship with Lan Lan, if she can, she really wants to help Lan Lan.
"Senior Sister Lan Lan is not short of money, but lacks the warmth of the family, if we can make her father stop drinking, I believe Senior Sister Lan Lan should be very happy."
After listening to Sun Jiafei's analysis, Zhang Meiting became happy, but she was a little embarrassed, her father was famous for drinking, and it seemed impossible to make her father not drink.
"Jiajia, it seems to be a little difficult! And how can we help? Zhang Meiting said embarrassedly.
"It's really a little difficult, but it's not completely impossible, try it!" Sun Jiafei smiled and said, it seemed that she already had her own ideas.
After Zhang Meiting saw Sun Jiafei's smile, she had fewer doubts in her heart, after all, the girl in front of her had brought her too many miracles, maybe this time, she would create miracles!
