Vol 3 Chapter 440: I really want to study

Hearing the crying voice of the little girl, Zhou Xiaoying frowned on the spot and put on her clothes very quickly.

 Judging from the situation, it should be Xiaoying's student. From the sound of his voice, he seemed to be crying quite hard. Li Duoyu quickly put on his clothes.

 As a result, he was dressed.

Zhou Xiaoying has not finished dressing yet, and the speed of getting dressed is indeed relatively slow for women.

 After the two opened the door.

I took a flashlight and looked up the **** of the courtyard and found a girl who was barefoot and wearing tattered clothes. Her face was dirty and her eyes were filled with tears.

Almost as big as Li Haoran, but she looks very thin, and it seems that none of the three of her is as chubby as the other one.

After the girl saw Xiaoying, she could no longer control herself and started crying on the spot, until she couldn't even breathe.

 Zhou Xiaoying did not ask her what happened immediately, but hugged her gently.

Li Duoyu took a closer look and discovered that the dirty things on the little girl's face were actually dried blood stains, and there were even more coagulated blood stains on her head.

 His body looked like he had been beaten by a belt or something, and there was also a particularly big wound on his face. The skin was not only broken, but also red and swollen.

And her feet were not very stable. The toe of one foot was resting on it, and the heel was still bleeding. She probably stepped on something sharp when she came here barefoot.

Seeing these wounds, Li Duoyu vaguely guessed what happened. He thought that as a man of two generations, he would be able to deal with such things calmly.

It can be seen that after seeing the girl's wounds, Li Duoyu couldn't help but be angry and wanted to beat the assailant severely.

 But Li Duoyu didn't have the slightest impression of this little girl, and she didn't feel like she was from Xiasha Village.

The little girl's unstoppable crying woke everyone up. Dad and mom also got dressed and came out.

 Lao Hu next door and Lin Shanshan who lived below them were also woken up. The neighbors nearby lit up their kerosene lamps one after another.

Little chubby Li Haoran walked out of the house. The moment he saw the girl, he was shocked.

“Chen Shujing, why did you come to my house?”

“Did you fall on the reef? Why are you covered with wounds? I told you not to go digging for snails on the reef all the time.”

Li Yaoguo patted his head: "If you don't know how to speak, just speak less."

 Lin Shanshan felt very distressed when she saw the beaten little girl, as if she had seen her former self.

“Did you get beaten by your father again? Why was it so serious this time?”

"teacher LIN."

 The little girl choked and nodded.

After hearing this, Xiaopangdun fell silent: "I'm sorry, I don't know."

 This is a newly transferred classmate. After the merger of the two schools, many students from Chenjiacun were inserted into each class.

At this moment, all the neighbors asked: "Whose child is this?"

“Who is dying, how could she be beaten like this? It hurts just to look at her.”

Seeing that more and more people were watching nearby, Zhou Xiaoying helped the little girl into the room.

As soon as the girl left, Li Duoyu saw a small pool of blood at the spot where she had just stood.

Li Duoyu said to Zhou Xiaoying: "Don't clean her wounds yet. I'll call Defa."

Li Duoyu came to the pier with a flashlight and knocked directly on Zhang Defa's door.

 “Tuk-tuk-tuk.”

 “Defa, get up and get down.”

 After knocking for a while, Zhang Defa said impatiently: "Who is it? It's in the middle of the night."

“It’s me, Duoyu. Someone is injured. Bring your medical kit and hurry up.”

Hearing that someone was injured, Zhang Defa immediately became nervous and said seriously: "Wait for me, I'll be here right away."

While Li Duoyu was waiting at the door, he could hear crackling inside and the sound of almost falling.

 After a while, Zhang Defa had already packed the medical kit and stood in front of Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu looked at his watch and praised: "Okay, I'll be out in three minutes. At this speed, I can join the army."

Zhang Defa glanced at him with disgust: "Wherever the person is, it doesn't matter whether it's serious or not."

"The person in my family is not very serious, but he is still young and he lost a lot of blood."

 “Let’s go and have a look first.”

 Zhang Defa trotted over,

 Zhang Defa blames himself very much for beating Uncle Mi. Now when he sees a doctor, he always

 After returning home, Li Duoyu found that Zhou Xiaoying and Lin Shanshan were beside her, and the girl named Chen Shujing had stopped crying.

 After seeing the little girl, Zhang Defa was also very angry after checking the little girl's wounds.

“Xiaoying, you boil some water first, and I’ll give her a brief wipe later. I’ll take out the glass she stepped on first.”

Zhang Defa opened the medicine box, lit the alcohol lamp, and sterilized the medical tweezers and curved needles first.

"The wounds on the soles of your feet and on your head are too big. You need stitches. I will clean and disinfect your feet later. It will be very painful. You have to endure it a little. Don't move your feet."

 The little girl gritted her teeth: "I'm not afraid of pain."

 However, when Zhang Defa poured hydrogen peroxide on the soles of the girl's feet, the little girl did not cry even though she was very strong.

 But his whole body was in pain and twitching, especially when Zhang Defa used a medical hook to take out the glass piece inserted into the sole of his foot.

The little girl was in pain so much that she burst into tears, but she still gritted her teeth.

What everyone didn’t expect was that while Defa poured disinfectant on the wound, he used tweezers to clean up the debris in the wound, and even pinched out several grains of sand.

 The little girl was in pain so much that her whole body was shaking. Zhou Xiaoying, who was very distressed, hugged her tightly regardless of the fact that her body was dirty.

 “Shujing, hold on for a while.”

Li Duoyu, who was standing aside, felt very heartbroken and sad when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but recall his past life.

 There were times when he was very embarrassed.

Not long after he started working illegally, he was reported by his own people and chased for several streets by the local police. He finally escaped pursuit by jumping into a sewer.

 That time, not only was his foot twisted, but he also stepped on a nail, which was different from the little girl.

As a stowaway, he couldn't go to the hospital. He could only buy some medicine and pull out the nails and disinfect them himself.

Li Duoyu still remembers the painful feeling when alcohol was poured on the wound.

 It took Zhang Defa more than 40 minutes to finally treat the little girl's wounds. A total of twelve stitches were stitched on the head and feet. The little girl was very strong. Although she shed tears, she gritted her teeth from beginning to end and never cried out in pain.

But when she saw in the mirror that half of her hair had been cut off at the spot where she was hit, she cried in grievance.

 “I’ve turned out to be ugly. There’s a big piece missing, and everyone will laugh at me.”

 Zhou Xiaoying and Lin Shanshan couldn't help laughing after seeing it. It seemed that she was more afraid of becoming ugly than the pain of stitches.

Lin Shanshan wiped her tears: "Shujing, don't worry, it will grow back soon."

Zhou Xiaoying also said: "Before it grows back, I will give you a hat to wear. As long as it is covered, no one can see it."

 After the little girl calmed down, Zhou Xiaoying started to ask about the reason.

The little girl hesitated, but still said: "My father refused to let me study, and wanted me to repair the network to make money.

Then, I asked him if I could mend the Internet to make money after school. He said no, I still have to cook, wash dishes and clothes, and take care of my younger brother. "

 When she said this, the little girl choked up and cried again. Lin Shanshan couldn't help but asked: "Your parents didn't go to make money, why do you need to make money and do so much housework?"

The little girl Chen Shujing gritted her teeth and said: "My father is always playing mahjong. He doesn't work or make money. He used to beat my mother all the time. My mother couldn't bear it. Three years ago, she went to work outside and she hasn't come back yet."

When Lin Shanshan heard this, she had a stress reaction on the spot. Her face became extremely pale, her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble with fear, remembering the time when she was domestically abused.

She also thought about running away from home countless times, but when she thought about that **** Xiao Weidong who might beat the children, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Seeing Chen Shujing's appearance, Lin Shanshan felt that her persistence was right. If she had run away, her son would probably be like Chen Shujing now.

 Zhou Xiaoying was silent for a long time after listening. As teachers, it is the most difficult for them to intervene in family issues like this.

Since she has been teaching, many female students have finally chosen to drop out of school due to family reasons.

 She has visited many of them and advised them countless times. Some of them are really having family difficulties, while others are just pure preference for sons over daughters.

 This was the first time she saw someone as pitiful as Chen Shujing, a little girl in her early ten years who not only had to study, but also make money, do all the housework, and take care of her younger brother.

 After Zhang Defa heard this, he was so angry that he was shaking all over. He had already discovered it when he was giving her stitches.

 In addition to these new wounds, the little girl also had many old wounds and even traces of cigarette burns.

"Fuck him, what kind of man is he? He's just a beast. If he dares to seek medical treatment from me, I'll castrate him on the spot and beat women and children."

Seeing Zhang Defa so angry, everyone was stunned for a moment. After all, in everyone's impression, he has always been quite polite, and he would use swear words without even thinking about it.

Lin Shanshan said with the same enemy: "Brother Fa, I support you. This kind of man should be castrated directly."

Zhang Defa scratched his head in embarrassment. He was just talking about being happy, but Lin Shanshan's behavior clearly meant that he meant it.

 The situation described by the little girl was almost the same as Li Duoyu guessed. It was indeed family reasons.

It seems that the nine-year compulsory education will not be implemented until next year. Nowadays, what happens to the little girl is by no means an exception. On the contrary, it is very common.

Many older sisters or younger sisters who are well-educated eventually choose to drop out of school early and start making money to support their older brothers or younger brothers in school.

If it were this kind of thing, other people would probably not care about it, because there is an old saying: It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs.

 Many leaders directly regard this sentence as a dogma. Every time a family problem arises, they use this sentence to comfort themselves, which ultimately leads to many tragedies.

 Li Duoyu squatted down and asked: "Let me ask you a question, do you really want to go to school?"

The little girl glanced at Teacher Zhou and Teacher Lin. Zhou Xiaoying nodded and said, "He is our village director and the person most likely to help you. Just ask."

 After receiving Teacher Zhou’s affirmative reply, the little girl replied seriously: “I really want to study.”

 “Then why do you want to study?”

 Li Duoyu's question silenced everyone present. Zhang Defa frowned and said, "How can a child know how to answer this question?"

Li Duoyu said seriously: "You have to answer my question seriously, and you can't lie to me. Then I will decide whether to help you."

The little girl was stunned for a long time. She was about to raise her head and ask the teacher for help, but the uncle in front of her said sternly: "You have to tell me the truth."

 The little girl became nervous on the spot and let Li Duoyu see through her guard: "I want to go outside to find my mother. I don't want to be with my father. I want to leave here."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu smiled. If she said anything high-sounding, he might not necessarily help her.

Zhou Xiaoying, who was on the side, saw that Li Duoyu didn't respond, and continued: "Our teachers really can't handle this kind of thing. Shujing transferred here, but her grades are very good, and she ranks in the top three in every exam. This The kids are really good.”

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said seriously: "Is your name Chen Shujing?"

 “Yeah.” The little girl nodded.

Li Duoyu said seriously: "I can't guarantee you, but I will try my best to help. I also very much support your study, but let me tell you the truth, because you are not from our village, many things are difficult for me." Yes, I don’t know.”

"Ok, I know."

 The little girl nodded obediently.

Lin Shanshan on the side smiled. She had already figured out Li Duoyu's words. Once he said that he couldn't guarantee it, and tried his best to help, then he would definitely help with all his strength.

“Shujing, why don’t you thank Director Li quickly?”

The little girl finally reacted, knelt down suddenly, and kowtowed: "Thank you, Director Li."

Li Duoyu hated others kneeling down for him the most, so he immediately helped her up. Zhang Defa beside him also frowned.

“You have just stitched it up, so don’t make such big moves, or the wound will open and I will have to stitch it up again for you.”

 Zhang Defa checked the wound again and saw that there was no more bleeding, so he went back. Before leaving, he reminded him: "Don't forget about the class reunion tomorrow."

 Li Duoyu nodded.

After Lin Shanshan moved to her parents' house, she and her son were squeezed into a small bed, and she couldn't bring Shujing to sleep with her.

Although Li Duoyu's bed is a large bed, three people have already slept in it, including a child, so it's not suitable for another one to be crammed into it.

Seeing that the night was getting deeper and deeper, the little girl said very sensibly: "Teacher Zhou, I can just sleep on the floor."

At this time, Li Duoyu said to the door: "Haoran, you have been listening outside the door for so long, come in."

After Xiaopangdun opened the door and came in, he scratched his head and said, "Uncle, how did you know I was outside the door."

Li Duoyu said disgustedly: "Is there anyone who eavesdrops like you? He eats while eavesdropping and squeaks in his mouth."

Li Duoyu said directly: "Go and ask your father if you want to sleep with him tonight. You can give your room to Shujing for a night or two and ask your father if that's okay."

  Little Fatty said without thinking, "That's definitely not possible. How can my room be used for a girl to sleep in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the looks of Li Duoyu and Teacher Zhou, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Then, I'll go ask my dad."

Li Haoran knew very well that once his uncle spoke, his father would definitely agree, but his room was very messy.

If Chen Shujing really wanted to sleep in his room, he would have to tidy up his doghouse first.

Especially the pillow that he slept on until it was soaked, the pair of stinky socks under the bed, his messy desk, and the diary, all of which had to be put away. (End of chapter)
