Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

Lin Ting spent a long time at home thinking, but still couldn't come up with an excuse to go out.

A round trip would take at least three days.

how to say?

Using the school as an excuse is impossible. Lin's mother is a university teacher. Although it's not the same school, it's just a matter of saying a word if she wants to find out some information.

Going on a trip? I guess Lin's mother thinks she's on a trip.

Lin Ting was so worried that she kept pulling out her hair.

Suddenly, the Lin family's door was pounded on loudly.

Lin Ting glanced at the time subconsciously; it was 6:30, roughly the time her parents would be home from get off work.

But she didn't think it was because her parents had forgotten their keys—anyone with even a little bit of manners wouldn't bang on the door like that.

Lin Ting walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

The banging stopped, and an extremely impatient voice came from behind: "Me."

Lin Ting raised an eyebrow. Although she recognized that irritating voice, she still asked indifferently, "Who are you?"

The person behind the door paused for a moment, then replied in a harsh voice, "I am Chen Jun!"

"Oh, is there something you need?" Lin Ting showed no intention of opening the door and spoke to him through it.

God knows what's gotten into this brat this time. His parents aren't home, he must be crazy to open the door for him.

"Open the door!"

Chen Jun impatiently pounded on the door again.

Thinking of the revenge he had taken against his father yesterday, Lin Ting decisively rushed to the balcony window.

She struggled to push open the frozen window and shouted to the uncles and aunts downstairs who had just returned from get off work: "Uncles and aunts! Help me! Chen Jun has gone mad and is banging on my door!"

Lin Ting's neighbors are mostly doctors or nurses at the city hospital. They are both colleagues and neighbors, and everyone will lend a hand when something happens.

Lin Ting, still on the verge of tears, continued to shout, "My parents aren't home, and he kept forcing me to open the door. I don't know what he wants..."

"Ting'er, don't be afraid, we'll go upstairs right now, you stay at home!"

The first to respond was Director Feng from the orthopedics department. He and Lin's father were old classmates and friends for many years. When he saw that it was Lin Ting calling for help, he immediately rushed into the building without hesitation.

The others followed, and one of the older women said to Lin, "Ting'er, don't be afraid. I saw Director Lin leave work when I got off work. He should be back soon!"

"Waaah..." Lin Ting's "crying" was very stiff. "Thank you..."

As they were talking, Uncle Feng and the other men rushed to Lin Ting's door.

Meanwhile, Chen Jun was still banging on the door, and because Lin Ting didn't open it for a long time, he even started kicking it.

"Chen Jun!"

"What are you going to do!"

Several men immediately rushed forward, grabbed Chen Jun, and dragged him aside.

"Let me go! This is none of your business! I'm looking for Lin Ting!" Chen Jun's face was ashen as he struggled incessantly.

Seeing his behavior, Uncle Feng smacked him on the head: "What are you yelling about? How can a grown man bully a young girl?"

As he spoke, he knocked lightly on the door twice and said, "Ting'er, don't be afraid, Uncle is outside!"

Uncle Feng's intention in knocking on the door was to let Lin Ting stay at home, and that they would be done once they dragged Chen Jun away.

Lin Ting actually opened the door.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and tears streamed down her face like a faucet turned on.

That little guy looked so pitiful.

Several aunties who followed her upstairs felt sorry for her and immediately came over to protect Lin Ting.

Chen Jun's eyes reddened the moment he saw Lin Ting, and he struggled even harder: "Lin Ting! You finally dared to come out, you..."

Before he could explain his purpose, Lin Ting interrupted him directly: "Chen Jun, I've already made it clear to you, I've never liked you, you already have a boyfriend, so please stop contacting me, okay?"

The uncles and aunts' eyes lit up instantly.

Yesterday, Chen Jun went to the hospital and made a scene, saying that Lin Ting was setting up a street stall with his girlfriend. At the time, they thought that Lin Ting knew that the other person was dating but was still interfering. Although they didn't say anything on the surface, they had already exchanged hundreds of messages in secret.

They all thought Lin Ting had a problem, but after seeing it today, it turns out that Chen Jun is the one who's not serious!

Chen Jun was furious and didn't notice the huge pitfall in Lin Ting's words. He glared at Lin Ting and yelled, "Tell me the truth! What did you take Zheng Miaoying to do? How could she have earned five hundred yuan in just two days?"

Today, Chen Jun noticed that Zheng Miaoying's tricycle was still parked in the same spot, assuming that she had listened to his advice and reformed.

He felt he shouldn't abandon her because of a fit of anger, so he took the 500 yuan he had stolen from home to the hospital, intending to pay off Zheng Miaoying's medical expenses.

As a result, the aunt at the payment counter told him that Zheng Miaoying had paid off the debt yesterday and even deposited 100 yuan.

Chen Jun became anxious.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't believe that Zheng Miaoying could make so much money by setting up a street stall.

It's obvious that Lin Ting and Zheng Miaoying must have done something!

So he came to confront him and demand an explanation.

Lin Ting's tears were still streaming down her face, and she could barely speak: "What can I do with her? I'm just helping her set up her stall... Chen Jun, you... you think setting up a street stall is shameful, but Yingzi's family is poor. Her mother is sick and hospitalized, and they can't even afford the medical bills... She's earning money with her own hands to save her mother. Is that wrong?"

"I...I...she and I are classmates. I...I helped her with chores. What's wrong with that?"

Those present were all medical workers; they had witnessed countless life-and-death situations and seen too much helplessness.

Upon hearing Lin Ting's words, they all looked at Chen Jun with disapproving and reproachful eyes.

A young girl who sets up a street stall to save her mother should absolutely not be looked down upon.

Lin Ting, who helped her, should not be unjustly insulted.

"You can earn five hundred yuan by setting up a street stall?" Chen Jun sneered. "Who are you trying to fool!"

Lin Ting sniffed, feeling her tears slow down a bit. She suddenly asked, "How do you know Yingzi paid five hundred yuan? Did you pay for her?"

"Yes! Aunt Zhang, who collects the fees, told me herself that Zheng Miaoying paid five hundred yuan yesterday!"

Lin Ting: "Where did you get five hundred yuan?"

Chen Jun's voice abruptly stopped.

He stared wide-eyed, belatedly realizing that he had fallen into Lin Ting's trap.

A mocking glint flashed in Lin Ting's eyes. She said, "Have you ever been to the Wu'ai Market? There, socks cost eight yuan for ten pairs, and two pairs for three yuan at the stalls outside... Didn't you ask us how we made five hundred yuan in two days? That's how we sold them."

"While you were rummaging through drawers and cupboards at home, Yingzi and I were shouting in the northwest wind to earn the five hundred yuan to treat Auntie's illness. That's how we earned it."

Lin glanced at her parents rushing upstairs and another couple who looked seven parts like Chen Jun. Worried that they hadn't heard the key point, she emphasized again: "Chen Jun, tell me, where did your five hundred yuan come from?"
