Zhao Xinxin was almost out of breath from being held by her grandmother, and she felt very uncomfortable.

She knew why her grandmother said sorry to her, because of the compensation money from her parents...

She once asked her teacher to help her check the compensation for her parents on the Internet. According to relevant laws and regulations, she and her grandparents can actually get a portion of the compensation paid by the perpetrator.

My grandparents’ share has been divided up.

The share of the money that she should have received was kept by her grandparents.

But she had overheard her grandparents talking and heard that the money her second uncle spent on buying a house and getting married far exceeded the compensation her grandparents deserved, so they must have touched the compensation money that belonged to her.

She was unwilling and resentful in her heart, but she was too young and had no way to do anything about it.

Later, she tried to understand her grandparents. After all, in their village, continuing the family line was the top priority for every household. When her parents were still alive, they would be urged by relatives on both sides to give birth to a younger brother for her every year.

Her parents are gone, and her grandparents only have her second uncle's youngest son who is still unmarried. Her second uncle is already grown up, and her grandparents have always been worried about his marriage. After they have a large sum of money, the first thing they think of is to solve his marriage problem.

Her grandparents were just ordinary country folk, barely able to read. How could she expect them to be reasonable, fair, and just, to follow the law and give her every penny of her money? It was impossible!

Considering that her grandparents still loved her very much, she could only swallow her resentment and choose to forgive.

But at this moment, grandpa was lying in the intensive care unit and was still in danger. She really hated her second uncle for his current behavior!

Su Xing looked at the grandfather and grandson hugging each other and couldn't help but sigh.

Through some words from the villagers and the behavior of Zhao Xinxin and her grandmother, she had a clear idea of ​​what was going on in the Zhao family.

But she is an outsider after all, and at this moment, apart from helping with some small matters, it is really difficult for her to interfere in other matters.

At this moment, Xinxin's grandmother's phone suddenly rang.

The old lady thought it was her youngest son calling, but when she picked up the phone, she found it was not her son's number, but a number that looked familiar.

She picked up the phone: "Hello? Who are you?"

A female voice came from the other side, "Hello, auntie, I am Zhao Xinxin's homeroom teacher. Why didn't Zhao Xinxin come to class today?"

"Oh, it's the teacher. Xinxin is with me in the hospital..."

"What's wrong with Xinxin? Is she sick?"

"It's not Xinxin who's sick, it's my old man..."

Grandma Xinxin's voice choked again before she could finish her words.

Zhao Xinxin stretched out her hand and said, "Grandma, give me the phone. I'll talk to the teacher."

The old lady gave the phone to her granddaughter.

"Hello, Teacher Li, I'm Zhao Xinxin. My grandfather is sick and just had surgery last night. I have to wait for news with my grandmother in the hospital. Teacher, I would like to ask you for a few days' leave."

"Ah? Your grandpa had surgery? What's wrong with him? Is it serious?"

Zhao Xinxin sniffed and lowered her voice, "It's a bit serious, it's a cerebral hemorrhage..."

Teacher Li quickly comforted Zhao Xinxin and approved her leave.

The two sides didn't talk for long before hanging up.

Just now, Su Xing wanted to remind Zhao Xinxin to ask for leave from school, but he didn't expect the teacher to call first.

However, Xinxin's grandmother was a little worried that her granddaughter would fall behind in her studies. "Niuniu, can you still keep up with your studies if you take a leave? Why don't you go back to class first? I'll wait here for you."

Zhao Xinxin said, "Grandma, I'm not going back! With my grandpa like this, I won't be able to concentrate on my studies even if I go back to school!"

Su Xing put his hand on Zhao Xinxin's shoulder and said to Xinxin's grandmother, "Don't worry. When Grandpa Zhao is fine and Xinxin is ready to study, I will give her extra lessons."

"Thank you so much..."

The old lady heard from her granddaughter that the students digging ancient tombs near the village were all students from Kyoto University!

In China, some elderly people may not be able to write a single word, and have no idea what 985 or 211 are, but if you ask them which is the best university, they will definitely say Peking University and Tsinghua University.

In the minds of the old people in the village, these Peking University students who dig graves are all the gods of literature who have descended to earth.

noon.

Su Xing took Zhao Xinxin and Xinxin's grandmother to have lunch.

They refused to go to the restaurant, so Su Xing went to the window to deposit a meal card and bought a box lunch for the hospital.

Not to mention, the boxed lunches in the hospital taste pretty good, and they include both meat and vegetables, are nutritionally balanced, and are cheap.

Both the grandparents and the grandchildren of the Zhao family had no appetite, but they finished all the lunch boxes for fear of wasting food.

Su Xing was really hungry. She had only eaten half full in the morning, but now she showed off three boxes of lunch, which left the Zhao family's grandparents and grandchildren stunned.

She smiled at the two of them and made the universal excuse, "I practice martial arts, and taking a few photos will make my appetite bigger."

Zhao Xinxin's eyes sparkled, "So that's how it is..."

Grandma Xinxin nodded and said, "Oh... being able to eat is a blessing."

After the three of them had lunch, Zhao Jinzhu finally came over.

"Mom, Xinxin, and this one..." He looked at Su Xing and forced a smile, "Miss, have you had lunch?"

Grandma Xinxin was disappointed with her son and said in a cold tone, "Eat it."

"What did you eat? I was thinking of taking you to a restaurant."

Zhao Xinxin glared at Zhao Jinzhu and said, "Let's eat the boxed lunch! Waiting for you, Second Uncle, to take us out for dinner? We'd have starved to death!"

Zhao Jinzhu frowned at Zhao Xinxin and said, "How dare you talk to your elders like that? You have no respect for your elders!"

Zhao Xinxin snorted coldly and rolled her eyes.

Grandma Xinxin asked her youngest son, "Zhuzi, did you bring any money? Your father hasn't paid his fees yet..."

Zhao Jinzhu rummaged through his pockets for a long time, pulled out an envelope, and handed it to his mother. "Mom, Xiaoyu and I spent a lot of time checking our cards and finally came up with this money. You can use it first."

Grandma Xinxin pinched the envelope and felt that its thickness was not right. She asked, "How much is this?"

"Alas..." Zhao Jinzhu sighed before speaking, "Three thousand yuan! This is all the cash Xiaoyu and I can come up with. Mom, you know, my monthly salary is just that little, and Xiaoyu is pregnant with your grandson. The family expenses are too high, and we really don't have much money..."

In fact, he and his wife hesitated for a long time before taking out the three thousand yuan. After all, it was his father's surgery. If he didn't pay a penny, they would never be able to return to the village, and their spines would be rubbed with holes.

The old lady tearfully said, "But... three thousand is not enough for your father's surgery and hospitalization fees!"

Zhao Jinzhu rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, I guess my brother and sister-in-law haven't spent all the compensation yet, right? Let's pay for my dad's hospital bills first."

The old lady pointed at her youngest son with shaking hands and angrily shouted, "You! There are only a few tens of thousands of yuan left, and you have the nerve to ask for it! That's money for Niuniu's schooling!"

"This... I have no choice! Besides, why should a little girl go to school so long? Just finish nine years of compulsory education, and it won't cost much. Now human lives are at stake. Are you just going to keep the money and ignore my dad?"
