Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

Yan Bugui, being an experienced person, naturally understood He Yuzhu's meaning and stepped forward to speak.

"Silly Zhu, this Teacher Ran is the youngest and most beautiful teacher in our school."

He Yuzhu withdrew his infatuated gaze and turned to look at Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, is Teacher Ran married?"

Yan Bugui said.

"Nope."

"What, you've got your eye on someone?"

He Yuzhu nodded vigorously.

"Would you like to introduce it to me?"

"Don't worry, I know the rules as long as it's done."

Yan Bugui shook his head.

"Forget it, Sha Zhu, you two aren't a good match."

Seeing that Yan Bugui refused immediately, He Yuzhu said anxiously.

“Uncle, how is it not suitable? You said it wasn’t suitable without even asking. That’s what’s not suitable.”

"As the saying goes, 'Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders.' So, are you planning to introduce Teacher Ran to an outsider?"

If it were before Sha Zhu's accident, Yan Bugui might have considered it, but now, he wouldn't make that connection.

Sha Zhu is now a living hell. If he becomes the matchmaker and ruins the person's life, how will he ever have the face to stay at school again?

Although Yan Bugui liked to take advantage of others, he still had his bottom line; at the very least, he wouldn't let himself get into trouble.

"Silly Zhu, it's not that Third Uncle doesn't want to speak up for you, it's just that the two of you are really not a good match."

"Her parents are returned overseas Chinese. Her father works for the railway and her mother is a high school teacher."

“They become homeroom teachers as soon as they enter the school, and they earn the same salary as me, a teacher who has dedicated half my life to education.”

"With his looks and qualifications, do you think he'd even be interested in you?"

"If it were before, there would still be some hope for 18."

"But now, you're being accused of stealing public property."

"Do you think any decent family in the city would want to marry their daughter to you?"

"Besides, you just paid off two thousand six hundred in debt. Do you have any extra money to get married?"

Even if you have the money to get married, what about after the wedding?

"You don't even have a job now, how are you going to support them?"

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Sha Zhu standing there alone.

At this moment, Sha Zhu's face was extremely ugly. Although Yan Bugui's words were a bit harsh, they were indeed the truth.

Yi Zhonghai brought over the money his father sent last night, a total of 1,590 yuan.

In addition, he gave him an extra thousand, ostensibly as interest.

He Yuzhu added ten yuan of his own money, making it two thousand six hundred yuan, which he then handed over. Now all his belongings were only two hundred and sixteen yuan.

......................................................

The Jia family of the Intermediate People's Court.

Qin Huairu poured a glass of boiled water and handed it to Teacher Ran.

"Teacher Ran, you came here today because of the sticky thing, right?"

Ran Qiuye said.

"Yes, Jia Geng's mother, Jia Geng hasn't been to school for three days. I wanted to come and find out what's going on."

Is it because of tuition fees?

“Jia Geng’s mother, I’m also working on Jia Geng’s tuition and fees, and I want to help him apply for a free spot.”

"But the city has regulations that families with an average living expense of more than five yuan are not eligible for free services."

"I'm in a real dilemma, but you can't stop your child from going to school because of this."

Qin Huairu was both grateful and troubled after hearing Ran Qiuye's words. After thinking it over, she gritted her teeth and said...

"Teacher Ran, my son Banggeng went to the countryside with his grandma over the weekend and hurt his arm."

"They're still in the countryside right now, and they probably won't be able to come back anytime soon."

Upon hearing that her arm was injured, Ran Qiuye looked worried.

“Jia Geng’s mother, a child’s broken arm is no small matter. You should have his grandmother take him to a hospital in the city as soon as possible.”

Just as Qin Huairu was about to speak, He Yuzhu walked straight in.

"You are Banggeng's homeroom teacher, Ms. Ran, right?"

Ran Qiuye looked at He Yuzhu who barged in and felt a little puzzled. He remembered that the file stated that Jia Geng's father had passed away.

Who is this man who barged in without saying hello or knocking?

Also, what does it mean that he's staring at me like that?

"Jia Geng's mother, and who is this?"

Qin Huairu was an extremely shrewd person, and she understood He Yuzhu's gaze immediately.

This silly Zhu is probably after Teacher Ran, the homeroom teacher who has taken a liking to Bang Geng.

Before Qin Huairu could introduce them, He Yuzhu stepped forward and greeted them.

"Teacher Ran, my name is He Yuzhu. I am Sister Qin's neighbor. This house on the north side is my home."

Qin Huairu poured a glass of water and handed it to He Yuzhu with a smile on her face.

"Teacher Ran, He Yuzhu, was the head chef of our factory canteen. He was very skilled."

“You know our family situation; we’re struggling financially, and we’re very grateful for He Yuzhu’s help.”

"He is a kind-hearted person. He always lends a helping hand when someone in the courtyard encounters difficulties."

He Yuzhu took the water and smiled.

"Sister Qin, you're too kind. We live in the same compound, so it's only right that we help each other out."

Ran Qiuye said.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, you are such a good person."

After exchanging pleasantries with He Yuzhu, Ran Qiuye returned to the topic.

"Jia Geng's mother, when will Jia Geng be able to go back to school?"

He Yuzhu had already overheard Qin Huairu's reasons for Banggeng at the door and knew why she did it.

"Teacher Ran, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. How about you grant me three months of leave first?"

Ran Qiuye shook her head.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, how long is this semester?"

“Jia Geng will be entering junior high school next year. If this delays his studies, he will have to repeat a grade.”

"Besides, I'm just a homeroom teacher. I can make decisions about ten days or eight days."

"Three months is too long. I can't approve this leave, and I shouldn't approve it."

Bang Geng was sentenced to six months of detention and correctional service, and normally he would have to wait six months to be released.

But as time goes on, the school will probably be unable to keep it a secret any longer.

Normally, after Bang Geng is taken to the juvenile detention center, the police station will send a letter to the school.

The reason the school is unaware of this is because Qin Huairu asked Yi Zhonghai to contact Director Wang.

He Yuzhu asked.

"Teacher Ran, how much time is left in this semester?"

Teacher Ran did some calculations and said.

"There's still half a month left."

He Yuzhu clapped his hands.

"Teacher Ran, how about this, you grant Banggeng half a month's leave first."

"With this two-week break plus the month of winter vacation, I reckon he should be almost fully recovered."

"We'll decide on specifics after the Lunar New Year holiday when school starts and we see how the child is recovering. What do you think?"

Ran Qiuye thought for a moment and said.

"fair enough."

"However, Bang Geng hasn't paid his tuition and fees for this semester yet..."
