Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Afraid of Losing Face_1 Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Afraid of Losing Face_1 “Stop waiting! Co on, co ho with .” The incident where he fell into the water last ti had terrified the entire family. Now, every minute she sees her son, Zhang Fengi is filled with fear.
She wished she could keep him by her side at all tis.
Jiang Yang’s academic performance was terrible, consistently ranking last, and this September when school starts, the head teacher refused to accept him. In the past, Zhang Fengi would have begged, even gotten on her knees to plead for the school to continue accommodating Jiang Yang.
But now, she’s co to terms with it. If he’s not good at school, so be it! As long as her son is alive and well, that’s all that matters.
“Wait for Nan Fei!”
Zhang Fengi was taken aback, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. She moved a wooden stool over to sit with Jiang Yang, whispering quietly, “Mom will wait with you.” She didn’t expect a response from her son, or for him to talk with her.
She just stared at the distance, lost in thought as she watched the students walking ho from school.
Jiang Yang and Zhuanzhuan falling into the water, Nan Fei almost losing her life trying to save them– it was all because she and the rest of the parents didn’t do their jobs well. Nan Fei was still hospitalized, but they needed to make a living and couldn’t stay with her.
Every ti Zhang Fengi thought about it, her heart ached.
“Jiang Yang, your Sister Nan Fei won’t be coming back today. She’s still in the hospital! Shall I take you to see her tomorrow?” It had been a few days now! She could spare one day off from work tomorrow to go to the county town to check on Nan Fei’s recovery.
Leaving Nan Fei in Huo Beijiang’s care was sothing she was increasingly uncomfortable with.
Jiang Yang was staring blankly in the direction of the road, not responding.
Zhang Fengi lovingly ruffled her son’s hair and sighed deeply. Everything would get better, Nan Fei had beco so sensible now, even her previous temper had improved.
The family had also started to slowly earn money. By the ti school starts this year, they were able to afford the tuition fees for all three children! After working hard for a few more months and repaying the debts they owed, they would have a better life.
A mother and son, each with varying thoughts, sat at the entrance to their ho.
They just happened to see the son of her eldest brother, Jiang Hui, walking past their door, with a backpack on his back and a popsicle in his hand. He made a face at Jiang Yang as he passed.
Jiang Hui, the youngest son of her eldest brother’s family, was a year older than Jiang Yang. He was lazy and gluttonous, a chubby little boy. At school, he always pretended not to know Jiang Yang.
He didn’t want to lose face!
Jiang Hui ordinarily wouldn’t set foot here, looking down on his Third Uncle’s house and his grandmother’s house for being poor and lacking good food! He surprisingly showed up right after school today!
Zhang Fengi glanced at him but didn’t make a fuss over it.
Jiang Yang, despite being mocked, remained seated on the stool, seemingly oblivious.
This annoyed the chubby boy, who rushed over. He extended his plump, chubby finger, pointing it down at Jiang Yang’s nose, “You little fool, are you a retard? Can’t you speak?”
Jiang Yang leisurely lifted his gaze to look at him. His diamond-shaped lips moved slightly, then with eerie calmness, he shifted his gaze back towards the entrance of the gate.
If it weren’t for the fact that his aunt was right there, Jiang Hui would definitely teach this little fool a lesson.
The cheek of him!
He was his cousin, yet he dared to disregard him.
“Hmph!” The chubby boy snorted, his fat jiggling as he did so, “What are you looking at? What’s so interesting? You’ve been expelled from school, yet you still have the nerve to show your face! If I were you, I’d rather find a rope and hang myself!”
The word death was unbearable for Zhang Fengi. Usually good-natured and never interfering in children’s disputes, she jumped up from her stool as soon as she heard it, grabbed the chubby boy by the ear, and sternly said, “Jiang Hui, what did you say? Apologize to Jiang Yang.”
