It has been almost a month since school started. Xiao Tao, a student in my class, has not paid his living expenses this month, and the school canteen Finance Department was also urging me to check out.
Our school’s student canteen operates in this way. The students’ living expenses are paid by parents online at the county finance department. Students do not have to swipe their cards and eat a buffet at school for three meals a day.
Because in the past, students used to recharge their cards in the cafeteria themselves every week, some students brought enough living expenses every week, but they deducted some money from it to spend randomly, and they went hungry after Wednesday every week.
In order to avoid some students in advance their week's living expenses, they adopted this kind of online payment and had a buffet.
But many parents of students do this. Anyway, students have food to eat at the buffet, so they can arrears the school’s living expenses, or simply refuse to pay.
When a class teacher encounters this situation, the school canteen has to collect the class teacher, which makes it difficult for the class teacher.
This is the case in my class. Not only did I owe living expenses this semester, but I also owe two months last semester, and my class teacher paid them for him.
asked him why, he didn't know, and I really didn't know what happened to his family, so I conducted a home visit last week.
I drove to Xiaotao to his home. His home was on a road in the village, and the villa-style house looked unique in the shade of green trees.
I leaned the car against Xiaotao's large yard and got out.
Xiaotao's mother walked out of her house. She was about forty years old, but she looked a little old, with a little gray hair and a pair of melancholy eyes.
Xiaotao introduced to his mother that the teacher had come to visit her home. His mother came to meet her with a smile. Her lips looked very shriveled, her front teeth were covered, and her legs and feet were not very flexible when walking.
She also seemed a little buzzing and buzzing: "Teacher, thank you for your hard work, let's sit in the house."
I asked her, "Parent, what's wrong with your feet?"
"I fell two months ago and haven't recovered yet."
I said to her directly: "Xiao Tao's living expenses were not paid for two months last semester, and he didn't pay for the past semester. What's going on with your family?"
She sighed and shook her head and said, "Teacher, there's really nothing I can do..."
I went into the house with them and saw that their home was also magnificent and not like a poor family at all. So what happened to their home?

In order to understand the truth about her family, I asked Xiaotao's mother again: "Parent, what happened to your home?"
Xiaotao's mother looked distressed and said, "Teacher, I really can't describe it. My devil - Xiaotao's father..."
"What's wrong with Xiaotao's father?"
Xiaotao's mother talked about her husband and sighed. He shook his head while resting, his eyes filled with tears, and he looked embarrassed, and then said, "I really don't want to talk about his father anymore. I feel wronged when I talk about it."
I think this woman should have a story, so I hurriedly asked, "What is the reason for that?"
Xiaotao's mother nodded, her eyes were a little wet, and she recalled the unbearable past...
Xiaotao's father is Lin, so she is Lao Lin. Xiaotao's mother's mother is Song, and everyone calls her Sister Song.
Since Lao Lin got married to Sister Song, he had a happy family, especially after giving birth to Xiaotao, the family was even more icing on the cake.
In the countryside, Lao Lin is a well-known plasterer and decorator in the village. Because of his good house construction and decoration skills, villagers look for him to build or decorate houses. After the house was built and renovated in
, villagers can move in with their bags. The decoration style also makes the villagers very satisfied. Such a good effect is that more and more villagers are invited to build a house for decoration.
Lao Lin's business became better and better, so he brought a group of apprentices to work with him, and Sister Song helped cook for the workers on the construction site.
They have been working together for thirteen years, and have also found a lot of money. They have built their own villa houses in the village, and also bought a commercial house in the county town. The whole family is really good.
But three years ago, Xiaotao's uncle Xiao Song came back from working in another place, and at the same time brought back a Yunnan wife named Xiaozhen. Xiaozhen is young and beautiful, and is charming everywhere.
Not long after, Xiaozhen gave birth to a son for Xiao Song.
As soon as his son was born, Xiao Song's burden became heavier. Since he had no income when he returned to his hometown and had to bear his wife and son, he asked his brother-in-law to come to the construction site to help with some miscellaneous work.
Lao Lin agreed without any hesitation. In addition to cooking for workers, Sister Song often helped Xiaotao's father.
Now, my younger brother came to work, so I had to arrange for my sister to help take care of my younger sister-in-law Xiaozhen during confinement.
This Yunnan daughter-in-law couldn't rest free. After forty days of confinement, she handed over the child to her sister and went to her brother-in-law's construction site to help cook.

This Yunnan daughter-in-law Xiaozhen is quite diligent and cooks well, which allows the workers to eat the delicious food she cooks. Everyone praises her as a clever wife.
Lao Lin also admires this sister-in-law, and may have had Xiaozhen's idea in her heart, and she brought her with her when she goes out to buy vegetables and shop.
Sometimes, he asked his brother-in-law to supervise the work of the workers, and he went to the county town to buy materials, and at the same time he also asked his brother-in-law in Yunnan to go on a business trip together.
On the day Lao Lin drove Xiaozhen on a business trip, they walked very late and didn't come back. Lao Lin called his brother-in-law on the grounds that something went wrong with the car.
Lao Lin said on the phone: "Brother, the car broke down today. I don't know when it will be repaired. Maybe I won't come back tonight. My sister-in-law is with me. Are you worried?"
Is my brother-in-law still trusting my brother-in-law Lao Lin? He said to Lao Lin very straightforwardly: "Brother, what are you saying? Why am I not at ease? Your sister-in-law is with you, I feel relieved!"
Lao Lin was very happy when he heard his brother-in-law say this. That night, he continued to take Xiaozhen to visit major shopping malls in the county.
In order to win Xiaozhen's heart, Lao Lin bought a lot of things for Xiaozhen, such as clothes, gold and silver jewelry, and he was very generous in his actions.
Since Xiaozhen married Xiao Song, she has indeed not received much gift from Xiao Song. Only when she first met, Xiao Song bought her a piece of clothing, which was still a street stall product.
This time Lao Lin bought her so many expensive clothes and jewelry. She was very grateful to her brother-in-law and really didn't know what to use to repay her brother-in-law.
After buying things, Lao Lin took Xiaozhen to a high-end restaurant. Xiaozhen grew up in Yunnan since she was a child. This was the first time she had such a delicious dish, which made this simple Yunnan woman have a full meal and opened her eyes.
During the meal, Lao Lin kept picking up food for Xiaozhen and kept saying, "Xiaozhen, eat it, you must have had a very small snack before."
Xiaozhen said embarrassedly, "I have never eaten these unknown dishes."
"I haven't eaten before, so eat more. I often take you out to eat in the future. Can you?" Lao Lin said while teasing Xiaozhen with ambiguous eyes.
"That's good, thank you brother-in-law." Xiaozhen said very understandingly.

Lao Lin asked Xiaozhen in a tentative tone: "Will you stay in a hotel tonight? Do you have one room or two rooms?"
Xiaozhen's face was a little blushing, and she said embarrassedly: "Brother-in-law, you have the final say."
Lao Lin heard this and felt very excited, so she said: "Then open a room, okay."
"Yes." Xiaozhen didn't dare to look at Lao Lin, but just nodded.
After dinner, Lao Lin took Xiaozhen to stay in the hotel. In order to avoid human eyes, they went to check in two rooms, but they lived in the same room.
From that time on, this brother-in-law and his brother-in-law's wife were lingering together. The brother-in-law and his sister were still kept in the dark and knew nothing.
Lao Lin and Xiaozhen are on business trips every now and then, sometimes they go to Chongqing, which is farther away, and deliberately cannot come back for a while, so they go to check in.
In order to avoid suspicion between Xiao Song and Sister Song, sometimes at eleven or two o'clock in the evening, Lao Lin asked Xiao Zhen to return to his room to make a video call to Xiao Song to prove that they were innocent.
Lao Lin also called Sister Song at this time, so that the siblings would not suspect that they were a pair of wild mandarin ducks.
When Xiaozhen came home, she never told her husband about living with her brother-in-law, and refused to have sex with Xiao Song on the grounds that she had gynecological diseases after giving birth.
The relationship between Lao Lin and Xiao Zhen lasted for more than half a year. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhen's belly gradually grew bigger. She was afraid of being exposed, so she had to tell Lao Lin about her pregnancy.
Lao Lin also became nervous. The only way he thought was to elope with Xiaozhen with money.
Lao Lin secretly discussed with Xiaozhen and decided to go to Kunming, Yunnan to do construction. Lao Lin tried his best to recover the money owed by his boss and raise enough funds.
After half a month of preparation, Lao Lin took back all the accounts, but Lao Lin was still a little conscientious and left more than 20,000 yuan for his wife and children.
also left more than 10,000 yuan for my brother-in-law, and from then on, Lao Lin and Xiaozhen disappeared.

After Lao Lin and Xiaozhen left, this was something that the siblings never expected.
In this way, Sister Song and Xiaotao lost their support for life. The more than 20,000 yuan didn't last long. Unexpectedly, Sister Song made the worse and she accidentally fell.
After she fell, she was recuperating at home for two months, and the 20,000 yuan was spent not long after.
, and Lao Lin's brother-in-law had no idea. When he found out that his wife and brother-in-law were leaving Kunming, he had to hand over the baby to his mother and ran to Kunming to find Lao Lin and Xiaozhen.
Xiao Song threatened that if Lao Lin and Xiao Zhen were found, he would have to make this pair of dogs and men, so that they would not die well.
But Xiao Song went to Kunming several times, but he didn't find any signs of Lao Lin and Xiao Zhen. In the end, he had to give up and go to work in another place.
And Xiaotao and Sister Song's life are gradually getting messy. Lao Lin is a very irresponsible man, but he is almost forty years old but he does these romantic things.
After Sister Song's foot was injured, she thought about committing suicide several times. When she came to the river and looked at the river still flowing, she really wanted to make her heart beat hard, and she thought that her son Xiaotao was still young.
She could only look at the river in sadness and despair, sighing at how she found such a romantic husband.
I died all over myself. What should Xiao Tao do? Thinking of this, her tears kept falling, blurring her vision.
She had to go back to her son and wait for her feet to get ready. She decided to go to the construction site to find hard work to support her son and herself.
Seeing that Xiaotao's family was so difficult, I had to become silent. I also decided to help him pay for the living expenses for this semester, give him some comfort and let him study hard.
