Chapter 33 Change Attitude
He Shu also had a fulfilling weekend. After having dinner with Brother Dong and Uncle Zhao in the evening, he went to the car wash with them.
On Saturday, He Shu went to the cemetery early as usual, told his mother all the recent events, and then walked back alone at noon.
Walk about one kilometer to the bus stop and take a bus back to the city.
He Shu took the time to visit the old building. Protective racks and protective nets had been built outside. Many of the residents inside were tenants and most of them had moved out.
There are only a few isolated elderly households left, and I heard that the government is helping arrange temporary housing in nursing homes.
Tan Kuan's family across the street hadn't moved yet. When He Shu went upstairs, he met Tan Kuan's mother.
Tan Kuan's mother saw He Shu, pulled him and cried, saying that Tan Kuan had a conflict with someone who came for testing before, and was now being held in a detention center.
Moreover, everyone wrongly accused them, saying that because of the renovation of their home, the building was in danger of collapsing in advance, and they might have to file a lawsuit and pay a lot of money.
Whether he was unjustly accused or not, professionals will definitely have evidence. If their family hadn't smashed the walls, this building would have lasted at least until He Shu finished college.
So He Shu didn't have any sympathy for this old neighbor.
"Auntie, I don't understand what you're telling me."
Tan Kuan's mother wiped her eyelids: "Xiao Shu, my aunt has watched you grow up. When your mother was alive, your mother and I had a good relationship, right?"
He Shu frowned slightly, not knowing what she wanted to say.
"Look, your brother Xiaokuan has played with you since you were a child. Our two families have been neighbors for so many years, so we are just like relatives."
"Auntie, what exactly do you want to say?"
"He Shu, our building will be demolished soon, and we will definitely lose a lot of money. Then you can borrow it from my aunt to use it first. Anyway, you are still young and you don't need that much money."
"When your brother Xiaokuan comes out, you will live with us, and someone will take care of you in the future."
He Shu looked at Tan Kuan's mother intently. He could not have imagined that there could be such a shameless person in the world.
"Xiaoshu, my aunt has no choice but to ask us to pay. How can we have so much money? Your uncle has been paralyzed for so many years. What kind of hard life have I lived? Don't worry, you will grow up in the future.
If you need money, I will pay it back to you."
He Shu raised his arm and shook off the pulled wrist, and said with a cold face: "What does your family's affairs have to do with me?"
After saying that, He Shu opened the door of his room and shut the other party out.
Outside, Tan Kuan's mother saw that He Shu had no room for negotiation, so she pretended not to cry.
Instead, he started yelling at the top of his lungs: "You little bastard, you deserve your parents to die. You are a nemesis. If you take the money, you will lose your life."
There was a lot of dust falling in the house, and He Shu seemed to be unable to hear the shouting and cursing outside, so he stood looking from room to room for a while.
This was the last time he came back. He Shu closed his eyes for a while, trying to recall the happy scenes when he was very young, before his parents divorced.
Unfortunately, there are not many memory fragments left at that time, and even He Shu can no longer tell whether it really happened or whether he imagined it...
After going to school on Monday, Zhao Qishui drove He Shu off and met a nervous Lai Huaguang at the door.
He Shu ignored him, greeted Uncle Zhao, and carried his things into the campus.
Lai Huaguang didn't ask his mother to walk to the door before, but this time he pulled his mother to the school gate before running in.
Seeing Lai Huaguang running past him, He Shu looked back in confusion. There was nothing going on outside. How could Lai Huaguang be chased by a dog?
In the next few days, He Shu and Lai Huaguang had little interaction. After all, they were not in the same class or dormitory.
But just after school on Friday, He Shu, who was waiting for Uncle Zhao at the school gate, saw Lai Huaguang being dragged into a nearby alley by two gangsters.
He Shu vaguely felt that the two people looked familiar. He recalled them carefully and his eyes instantly became cold.
In the alley, Lai Huaguang was pointed at with a dagger and he did not dare to scream.
Two gangsters searched him all over and found only a dozen dollars.
He suddenly became very angry and slapped him several times. Lai Huaguang was so frightened that he almost burst into tears. At this moment, someone shouted: "What are you doing?"
It was the security guard maintaining order at the school gate who came over, and the two gangsters ran away when they saw this.
Lai Huaguang also reacted quickly. He grabbed one and shouted: "They robbed me of my money!"
Two security guards carried glue sticks and subdued the trapped man in one fell swoop. They held him down and called the police.
Lai Huaguang also hurried out to find his mother. A group of parents soon gathered at the entrance of the alley to watch the fun.
He Shu found Uncle Zhao, got in the car and put away his things.
Zhao Qishui glanced strangely at the rioting crowd opposite: "What happened over there?"
"It seems like some gangsters came to steal students' money."
"Hey, then you should be careful after school. Don't go too far. Wait inside the school gate until I call you before you come out."
He Shu smiled and said, "I don't have the money to rob them."
"Then you have to pay attention. Those little bastards on the street don't learn from each other..."
He Shu and Uncle Zhao left the school laughing and joking, while Lai Huaguang also waited for the police to arrive.
Lai Huaguang's mother was always scared. She had been waiting in the car just now, but she didn't expect that her precious son would be robbed by a gangster because he was so good at kung fu.
Instead of reflecting on herself or thanking the security guards for discovering it in time, she began to blame the school security for being unqualified and unable to even guarantee the safety of the students.
The two security guards were extremely angry: "If he just waits at the school gate, will anything happen?"
Lai Huaguang's mother asked Lai Huaguang why he followed him to the alley. Lai Huaguang said aggrievedly that he was forced to come here with a knife.
After saying this, Lai Huaguang's mother was justified again. She said that the security guard couldn't even recognize the gangster, and they immediately started arguing with the security guard. In the end, even the principal was alarmed.
In fact, the security guards at No. 2 Middle School are quite responsible. After all, it is a closed school.
But every Friday after school, there are too many parents blocking the school door. With so many people, how can they tell who the real parents are?
After an argument, the police took the gangster away. Lai Huaguang's mother also took Lai Huaguang with her to take notes. Before leaving, she made sure to ask the school for an explanation.
After this day, there were strict regulations after school in No. 2 Middle School. A line was drawn outside the school. Parents who came to pick up their children were not allowed to cross the yellow line. They all crowded at the door.
Students who are picked up must see their parents before they can leave. If there is a problem in the province, it is the school's fault.
As for the students who were not picked up, the school also asked the students to take a disclaimer back for their parents to sign.
Although this approach seems silly, there is nothing the school can do about it. It cannot afford to escort students home after they leave school...
None of this had anything to do with He Shu, although he was the one who ran to tell the security guard that some gangsters were bullying students.
He Shu was not willing to help Lai Huaguang, but he recognized the two gangsters who threw his things under the bridge, and he also knew that Lai Huaguang knew them.
He Shu doesn't care how they solve it in the end.
However, when he arrived at school on Monday and did radio gymnastics during the recess, the school not only announced the new school rules for the end of school, but also announced a demerit penalty against Lai Huaguang, and was criticized by the whole school.
Later, a teacher came to He Shu to inquire. It turned out that the little gangster who was caught also bit Lai Huaguang, saying that he had paid him to deal with a classmate.
After questioning Lai Huaguang, I found out that classmate was He Shu.
He Shu's current performance makes him the top student that teachers focus on, and his performance in school is the type that teachers like the most.
As long as He Shu can maintain his current study status in his senior year of high school, he may be admitted to Huaqing and Dadu College in the future, so this matter has been taken seriously.
He Shuyuan told the truth about the time he was beaten in Shiqiao, and did not say that he knew it was Lai Huaguang who did it.
But the grudge between Lai Huaguang and He Shu was known to many classmates, especially those who were in the same dormitory during their freshman year of high school. Therefore, the bad incident in which Lai Huaguang paid some gangsters to beat up his classmates was settled.
He Shu still remembers that in his first year of high school, Lai Huaguang wrongly accused him of stealing money. The teacher's reaction at that time was completely different from now.
