Chapter 1727 The Problem of Children Going to School
"Let's eat, I have something to tell you after eating." The woman was silent for a long time, before returning to her usual calm.
Pugu didn't say much, he ate some yellowed rice with slag and only two green vegetables.
There are not many meals, and Pugu is only half full, and there is nothing left.
After eating Pugu just now, I realized why my child is not at home today.
"Where's Xing'er?"
"Go to Lingju's house to play."
Facing Pugu's question, the woman answered perfunctorily, and then sat down.
"Xing'er's teacher came here at noon today. He said that the school plans to bring back some books for the children's studies. He hopes that each of our parents will contribute."
Pugu's face darkened, and finally said helplessly: "How much do you need?"
"One hundred coppers."
"What? They are stealing money." Pugu said angrily.
One hundred copper coins is basically half a year's income of a small bar, and usually all the money they earn is basically spent on studying for their children.
And what books are so expensive, it needs a hundred copper plates.
"The teacher said, if we can't get it out, Xing'er will be expelled from school." After saying this, the woman couldn't hold back anymore, and burst into tears.
"I got the news that there seems to be a child of a rich businessman who wants to study in school, but he has no degree, and we are poor, so they just want to give Xing'er's degree to that rich businessman."
"How could they do this? I want to ask them to argue." Pugu said angrily.
Reading is the only way for their children to escape from the slums. They used to send their children to study without food and clothing. They never thought that such a thing would happen.
"Pu Gu, come back, what's the use of you going? You remember that a young man went to the school to argue, and was beaten into a disability in the end. Do you want to be like him? How will you make me an orphan and widow? "
The woman said loudly, and greeted Pugu with her fist.
Pugu didn't dodge, his eyes were red, and his face was full of pain.
"It's all about you, and it's not because of your bullish temper. So many people ask you for wine-making skills. It's fine if you don't give them to them. It's fine if you let me live in poverty. Now the child can't even keep his degree. Keep your skills. What else can I do, a pile of waste paper, can I get enough to eat?"
The woman's emotions began to collapse. For so many years, she vented her dissatisfaction with Pugu directly, leaving Pugu stunned on the spot.
Is it wrong for me to persist all the time?
Pugu looked at the crying wife in front of him, thinking about his child.
The hand clenched into a fist could not help but slowly loosen it. Am I really wrong?
"Get up, you bring Xing'er back and wait for me at home, I'll be back after I go out." Pu Gu said in a deep voice.
"Don't do stupid things, you know? Otherwise, we'll all hide with you." The woman looked at Pugu uncertainly recently.
"Don't worry, we won't live in poverty again in the future." Pu Gu said, and didn't wait for the woman to say anything, and he didn't leave.
Passed through the bar, ignored anyone, and walked out of the city.
He let it go, for the sake of his family, he chose to compromise, and he wanted to find Xu Tianyu.
Even if he begged, he still had to take down the winemaker's job. For the sake of his family, what kind of dignity was worth it?
"Ha ha……"
Pugu laughed like a lunatic, the smile was so desolate, the tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't stop.
But his footsteps did not stop at all, and he walked straight forward.
