“Let’s go take a look.”
Shao Qingyuan jumped down from the shaft, and so did Gu Yundong.
The two of them took a few steps forward and arrived at the entrance of a school.
Wasn’t this school the Wen Mo Hall where she had sent Yunshu over but was not satisfied with that pedantic teacher?
Niu Dan was indeed studying here.
However, the current Niu Dan was standing outside the school, shouting that he had been wronged. His book basket had fallen to the ground and he did not have time to pick it up. His face was filled with stubbornness, but his eyes were red.
He seemed to want to enter the school again to look for the master, but he was stopped by the gatekeeper.
There were still a few students standing behind the door, pointing and laughing at him.
Gu Yundong’s expression darkened. She immediately pushed aside a bystander and called out, “Niu Dan.”
Niu Dan turned his head. When he saw that it was Gu Yundong, the emotions that he had been suppressing instantly collapsed. As if he finally had someone to rely on, he burst into tears. Large drops of tears fell.
“Sister Yundong.”
Gu Yundong quickly took two steps forward, squatted down, patted his shoulder, and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
“What’s wrong? What happened? Tell me. I’ll help you.”
For a moment, Niu Dan cried a little hard and couldn’t stop. Therefore, before he could speak, a few students behind the door started shouting loudly.
“He stole something. He stole fifty copper coins and was chased out by the teacher.”
Niu Dan immediately shook his head with all his might. He wanted to explain, but he hiccuped. He was immediately angry and anxious, and his tears fell even more fiercely.
Gu Yundong hurriedly patted him. “There’s no hurry. Tell me slowly. I believe you didn’t steal anything.”
Niu Dan had been in denial for most of the day. Gu Yundong was the first person to say that she believed him without any explanation.
All the grievances seemed to be unimportant at that moment. Someone believed in him. There was no need for him to say anything. There was no need for any evidence. Someone stood on his side without any worries.
Niu Dan felt that it was enough.
His emotions gradually stabilized. Although he was still sobbing, he could clearly say something.
“I didn’t steal it. I really didn’t. My father gave me those 50 copper coins. My father said that I’ve been studying very hard recently and that I’ve improved. He rewarded me and told me to buy what I wanted. I just haven’t thought of what to buy, so I kept those 50 copper coins with me. It’s useless.”
He wiped his face. “But today, Xiao Quan suddenly said that he had lost money. Then, they searched everywhere. In the end, they found fifty copper coins in my book basket and said that I had stolen it. Teacher, the teacher said that I was immoral and had a bad character. He chased me out of the school. My fifty copper coins were also taken away.”
As he spoke, he felt aggrieved again. Niu Dan couldn’t take it anymore and cried.
When the others heard this, they whispered to each other. However, the few students behind the door shouted, “You were the one who stole it. How could you say that your father rewarded you? Who doesn’t know that you’re a poor boy from the countryside? Is your father so generous that he gave you fifty copper coins to spend as you please? No one will believe this.”
“That’s right, that’s right. If your father really dotes on you, would he be willing to let you work for the family every weekend? The teacher has already told you several times to focus on your studies and not be affected by other things, but you refused to listen. Just the rise of one place on the ranking was considered improvement? Is your father willing to give you so much money?”
