Chapter 60 Run 1
Desperately?
Tang Huaiyi shook his head slightly: "Third Uncle, what kind of solution is this?"
"I know about fighting to the death. When people in our rural area are bullied too much, they say they'll fight to the death. But you only have one life. When it really comes down to fighting, everyone gets scared and doesn't want to die."
"Nine out of ten people who shout about fighting to the death end up accepting their fate and being bullied by others. Even if one person really goes all out and fights to the death, they either die, become crippled, or end up in jail. There's no good outcome for them."
Tang Zhengcai was troubled and anxious: "Then Huaiyi, what do you think we should do about this?"
"If Mr. Jia really doesn't give me a letter of introduction, how am I supposed to marry Teacher Xu? If this can be done tomorrow, that would be great. But if it doesn't work out tomorrow, what will Teacher Xu think of me? Will she think I'm some kind of criminal who can't get a letter of introduction?"
Tang Huaiyi thought for a moment and said, "Third Uncle, don't be afraid of trouble, and don't fixate on Jia Laoyi alone. Go to the county civil affairs bureau today and ask if a letter of introduction is needed."
"If you really need a letter of introduction, don't go to the village to find Jia Laoyi. Just go to the Donghe Township government and get it directly."
"If the situation really requires a letter of introduction, and the village has to issue it, then you have to go home and have a good talk with your grandparents, my dad, and your second uncle about what to do."
Tang Zhengcai listened carefully and nodded: "Okay, Huaiyi, I'll remember everything you said. Since I'm already in the county today, I'll go to the county civil affairs bureau first, and then to the Donghe Township government to see if I can get things done."
"If we really can't get it done, we'll just prepare to fight Jia Lao in the village and get the letter of introduction out."
Tang Huaiyi nodded: "I hope things go smoothly for you, Third Uncle. If not, you can try talking to Jia Laoyi's wife about Jia Laoyi and Widow Ma's affair."
"If that doesn't work, and Jia Laoyi is still holding you back, then go to the township to file a complaint. Accuse him of unfair land distribution, accuse him of having affairs with women, just try to get rid of him as the village secretary."
Listening to Tang Huaiyi's words, Tang Zhengcai gradually felt at ease: "Huaiyi, you really didn't waste your time studying! Jia Laoyi hasn't even done anything yet, and you've already thought of everything that's to come."
"With your arrangement, even if Jia Laoyi dares to bully people again, our family will not let him off the hook."
"I'll go to the government today and see what they say before deciding what to do."
Tang Huaiyi nodded and watched his third uncle leave.
From afar, I saw Teacher Xu standing at the office door saying something to my third uncle, then waving to me with a smile on her face.
Tang Huaiyi thought to himself that the relationship between men and women was truly wondrous.
Uncle San's "simp" attitude, on the other hand, makes up for Teacher Xu's lack of care from others... I hope their marriage will go smoothly.
Back in the classroom, Guan Xiaolin was already sitting in her seat, reading a book.
He Genbao had also returned to the classroom, head down and silent.
He ignores everyone, and no one pays attention to him—it's not just a matter of complaints from the dormitories. In the first week of school, he glared at people who spoke to him, complaining that they were disturbing his studies. This has happened twice already, and his classmates have started to keep their distance from him.
This is also why none of the other classmates spoke up for Song Siyuan when he started the trouble; they were simply too distant from him.
If anyone is within a meter of him, they are considered to be interfering with his studies, and his classmates can only stay away from him.
Tang Huaiyi also took a moment to glance at the silver dollars that the crow had brought back the night before.
A rusty, rather blurry Yuan Shikai silver dollar.
With such poor condition, it probably won't even sell for ten yuan.
Tang Huaiyi still had twenty-six yuan in his hand. He had paid his tuition and his meals had improved to be similar to those of his classmates, so he wasn't in a hurry to use the money. He decided to keep the silver dollar for now and sell it later when he had a little more money.
Classes continued in the afternoon. In the evening, Tang Huaiyi had dinner with Li Xiujuan, Guan Xiaolin, and Song Siyuan. When he returned to the classroom, he saw Ma Laixi and Li Jialiang and others from Class 2 standing arm in arm at the door of Class 1, winking and laughing at He Genbao inside the classroom.
Clearly, the joke about He Genbao being arrogant and wanting to focus on his studies while "rejecting" Guan Xiaolin from dating has already spread among the other classmates.
He Genbao lowered his head and remained silent, burying himself in his book.
"What are you doing? Aren't you going to study anymore?"
Teacher Tian walked over with a cold face and her hands behind her back.
Li Jialiang and the others scattered like birds and beasts, running back to Class Two.
Ma Laixi also tried to sneak back into the classroom, but Teacher Tian called him back, kicked him in the backside, and he slunk back into the classroom.
Teacher Tian, with a stern face, waved to Tang Huaiyi and Li Xiujuan and handed them the tuition fee slip.
Then he looked at Guan Xiaolin and said, "Guan Xiaolin, come with me for a moment."
Guan Xiaolin sighed helplessly and followed.
He Genbao's outburst at noon has really caused a lot of trouble... This classmate is really something, how could I possibly want to date you...
Not long after, Guan Xiaolin returned.
"How is it?"
"Nothing much happened. Teacher Tian told me that He Genbao is a bit overly sensitive, and he plans to go to his house this week to find out what's going on. He told me not to worry about He Genbao," Guan Xiaolin said.
Tang Huaiyi laughed as well: "Our homeroom teacher has double standards, huh? Song Siyuan and I were complained about and given a long lecture, telling us we absolutely have to be careful."
"When we got to you, we comforted you and even went to visit He Genbao's home to find out the reason."
"In Teacher Tian's eyes, aren't they even human?"
"Hey!" Guan Xiaolin glared and scolded playfully, "I found out you really know how to talk nonsense and deliberately annoy people! Teacher Tian also noticed that something was wrong with He Genbao's situation, so she comforted me and went to see how to solve the student's problem."
"How come it tastes different in your mouth?"
Tang Huaiyi didn't refute it, but just laughed it off, since it was just a joke.
I just didn't expect that Teacher Tian, who is so cold and rigid, would actually care about the students in her class. On the surface, I really couldn't tell.
Guan Xiaolin, of course, knew that Tang Huaiyi was joking. She glared at him again, feigning anger, and proudly swung her ponytail back to her seat, lively and spirited, with a faint smile on her lips.
When evening self-study ended, Wang Man and Zhao Weimin came again.
Guan Xiaolin's face immediately turned cold.
"Zhao Weimin, what brings you here again?"
Zhao Weimin, unwilling to lose face, said, "Anyway, you don't believe me, and I didn't come here to see you."
"Then what are you doing in our class?"
"I've come to see He Genbao, the classmate who refused to date you... Is He Genbao here?" Zhao Weimin said, looking around the classroom.
He Genbao, who was walking out with the book in his hand, stopped and stared coldly at Zhao Weimin.
What are you doing?
