Chapter 6: An Unexpected Discovery
"How do you know that although you beat Bai Duran last time, she is your aunt anyway, how can she really care about you as a child?" Yu Lian's expression was inevitably lost, but if they didn't go to the Zhong family, what else could they do?
Bai Xianyi's expression was solemn, of course she knew.
In her previous life, when she was also so old, in order to continue to go to school, she went to the Bai family to borrow money, but she sat outside the Zhong family for a day without eating or drinking on a snowy day, and almost lost consciousness from the cold.
Although it has been a lifetime, the humiliation and grievances of that day are still fresh in Bai Xianyi's memory.
"If the Zhong family really still misses my biological mother, they will lend us money when I drop out of school, where do we have to wait until now, and now I can't borrow money, but call them jokes." Bai Xianyi explained to Yu Lian according to the current actual situation.
"If they don't borrow money, how are you going to go back to school?" Yu Lian has always been a person who has no ideas, and the worry between her eyebrows deepened.
"Alright, Mom, I'll find a way to borrow money." Bai Xianyi stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Yu Lian's frowning brows, "You, just rest assured, I can rest assured." ”
"Okay, you've grown up, and mom believes in you." Yu Lian smiled with relief.
Her child seemed to have grown up overnight, and she didn't think that since the last time Bai Xianyi sent her to the hospital alone and dealt with the follow-up things, she knew that Bai Xianyi was no longer the same as before.
"But don't do things that go against morality and the law, remember?" She told again uneasily.
"Got it, got it." Bai Xianyi's tone still has a bit of coquettishness, and she hasn't been coquettish in front of her mother for a long time.
What used to be verbose in her eyes now seems so precious to every word.
After finishing the family's farm work and housework, taking care of Yu Lian and drinking medicine, Bai Xianyi found decent clothes to change into and went to the town.
She was going to ask Teacher Liu in the town if there was any way to get her back to school, Teacher Liu had already helped many poor students return to school, and Bai Xianyi also wanted to ask him for help.
Teacher Liu was deeply impressed by Bai Xianyi, a clever little girl, and when she saw her coming, she kindly invited her to sit down in the house and poured tea for her with her own hands.
"Thank you, teacher, I'll just come by myself." Bai Xianyi hurriedly got up, took the teapot in Teacher Liu's hand, and filled the two of them with tea.
The aroma of tea fills the room.
"What is the matter with you coming this time?" Teacher Liu felt more and more that this clever and sensible little girl was very lovely.
"I'm here to ask, is there anything you can do to get me back to school? My family is struggling and has been out of school for quite some time. Bai Xianyi hung her head slightly, feeling embarrassed, and knew that this matter was very troublesome to Teacher Liu.
"It's ....... Ay. Teacher Liu shook his head and sighed regretfully, "This year's quota for poor students has been used up, and besides, we have a lot of poor students, whether we can help you get them next year is also a question." ”
Bai Xian's heart sank, but he was still unwilling to give up, staring at Teacher Liu's eyes, "Is there no other way?" I really want to go back to school. ”
"There's no other way." Teacher Liu looked at Bai Xianyi apologetically, it's a pity that such a clever girl can't go to school.
"That, that's good, thank you, teacher, I'll go back first." Bai Xianyi stood up in disappointment, and the tea in the cup was not yet cold.
The pen that Bai Xianyi kept in her pocket fell out, she hurriedly picked it up, and saw that it was not broken, so she carefully put it back in her pocket.
"Girl, can you show me this?" Teacher Liu was slightly surprised, got up from the chair and asked.
Bai Xian was puzzled, took out the pen according to the words, and handed it over.
"This is a limited edition of an internationally renowned brand, and it's not something that money can buy." Teacher Liu shook his head in amazement, and cautiously returned the pen to Bai Xianyi with both hands.
"If this is not a fake, you can go and sell it, and the money in exchange for it will be no problem to pay for your junior high and high school tuition."
Bai Xianyi took the pen and couldn't react for a while.
Thinking of the car that the man drove, and the designer clothes he was wearing, I was already sure that this was definitely not a fake.
She didn't have a hobby of collecting pens in her life, and she never expected it to be so expensive.
"Got it, thank you, teacher." Bai Xianyi thanked Mr. Liu gratefully, and could see that he really wanted to help him.
Teacher Liu waved his hand ashamedly, if he had some ability, he could also help the girl financially.
Out of Teacher Liu's house, Bai Xianyi clenched the pen in his pocket, but did not go to the pawn shop in the county.
Although she didn't know that man and might never meet again in the future, he helped herself, and she couldn't be someone else's thing.
When she got home, Bai Xianyi was in a heavy mood, and as soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Bai Dulan's slightly obese body sitting on the bamboo chair at her house, and the bamboo chair made a creaking sound.
"Mom, I'm back." She directly ignored Bai Duran, who had a noble and disdainful expression, and sat down beside Yu Lian affectionately.
"Xiaoyi, call the second aunt quickly." Yu Lian saw that Bai Duran's face had changed, and hurriedly pulled Bai Xianyi's sleeve.
"Mom, don't let anyone into our house in the future, bad luck." Bai Xianyi poured a cup of hot tea for Yu Lian, and turned to look at Bai Duran, his face expressionless, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Your mother came to tell me that she wanted to borrow some money, and I kindly came to see you, but you girl doesn't know what to do." Bai Duran sneered, his eyes faintly looking at the humble room, and his contempt became more and more contemptuous.
When Yu Lian heard this, her eyes dodged, and she didn't look at Bai Xianyi's expression.
"If you have something to say, let's go quickly." Bai Xianyi's delicate little face like white porcelain was raised, and his tone was extremely sarcastic, if Bai Duran was so kind, the sow would go up the tree.
"If you are willing to give me the heirloom bracelet that my sister left you, and I will give you money to study, how about it?" Bai Duran glanced Bai Xianyi up and down, this little girl is getting better and better.
"No way, get out." Bai Xian's eyes were as cold as the wind and snow in winter, and he knew that this woman was not well-intentioned.
"You don't have any other way ....... right now"
"If you don't leave, do you want to be beaten again?" Bai Xian got up and went to get the broom next to him.
Bai Duran was startled, remembered the last experience, got up scoldingly, and left without a trace after a while.
Yu Lian looked at the back of Bai Duran leaving, and stopped talking, "Xiaoyi, you ......"
"Mom, the jade bracelet left by our biological mother can't be sold, don't worry, I already have a way to raise money." Bai Xianyi gripped the pen in his pocket again.
