Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 18

The person Lin Jinglan chose was her current homeroom teacher, Teacher Han.

Ever since she knew that Teacher Han also wanted to give a speech at City Fifth Middle School, she had made up her mind that it would be fine if the principal didn't ask her opinion, and if the principal asked, she would recommend Teacher Han to go.

She sees and is grateful for Teacher Han's concern and care for her.

When Teacher Han learned that because of Lin Jinglan's words, the person who went to Shiwu Middle School became her, and she was both excited and moved.She couldn't figure it out, Lin Jinglan was obviously the best student, good at studying and good at dealing with others, how could Teacher Li and Lin Jinglan have such troubles?

Teacher Han happily thought that being Lin Jinglan's class teacher would have many benefits, and the present speech is nothing at all. She was already looking forward to Lin Jinglan's performance in the college entrance examination.Teacher Han made up his mind to treat Lin Jinglan better.

What everyone didn't expect was that Mr. Han's first speech in the city's fifth middle school was an instant hit, and then several schools in the No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-] middle schools invited Mr. Han to give speeches.

After Mr. Han asked the principal for instructions, the principal immediately agreed, and he wished for such a thing that would make Qingshan Middle School famous.At the same time, I was glad that Lin Jinglan was not asked to give a lecture, otherwise, he really didn't know how to choose between wasting Lin Jinglan's time and rejecting invitations to lectures from various schools.

The weather was getting cooler, and after Lin Jinglan sneezed several times, she finally realized that she had to go home to get thick clothes for the weekend.

Lin Jinglan got on the bus home, and after getting off the bus, she used her memory to find the "home" that she hadn't stayed for a few days.

It was the weekend, Zhou Hui and Lin Shan were both at home.Zhou Hui was very pleasantly surprised to see Lin Jinglan come home, and her longing for her being away from home for so many days was clearly written on her face.As for Lin Shan, Lin Jinglan only saw surprise on his face.

"Why are you back?" Lin Shan asked, frowning, "Could it be that you have no money?"

Dislike for Lin Shan welled up in Lin Jinglan's heart, and she said, "No, I'm going home to get some thick clothes."

Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief, "Take it."

Zhou Hui surrounded Lin Jinglan and asked, "What do you want to eat? There are still eggs at home, I'll fry a plate for you. Do you want meat? Shall I cut some meat for you?"

Lin Shan was in a hurry, "What kind of meat do you cut!"

Zhou Hui whispered, "Isn't there still a few taels of meat tickets..."

Lin Shan tugged Zhou Hui hard, and shouted, "I still have those few taels of meat left for drinking. Usually, if I want to eat a piece of meat, you'll have to hold on to it. Once the little girl comes back, you'll be rushing to eat it." Make meat for her to eat. Is she raising the family, or am I raising the family? Who is the head of the family?"

Zhou Hui staggered from being pulled, and quickly supported the table so as not to fall.

Lin Jinglan frowned, Lin Shan is a typical feudal patriarch thinking that he earns money to support his family, and the food and drink at home should be closely related to him.

Lin Jinglan didn't care what Lin Shan said, she didn't need to spend Lin Shan's money at all, the food she ate and drank at school was good, and the morsel of meat she brought back home was not bad.

But what Lin Jinglan couldn't bear was Lin Shan's action of yanking Zhou Hui.

It was obvious that Lin Shan had used all his strength, if Zhou Hui hadn't grasped the table quickly, he would have fallen directly to the ground.

Lin Jinglan stared at Lin Shan, "Speak well, why do you move?"

Lin Shan clicked his tongue and leaned in front of Lin Jinglan, "How can you intervene in matters between adults?"

The stinky smell of alcohol sprayed on Lin Jinglan's face, and it was only then that Lin Jinglan realized that Lin Shan had been drinking.

Lin Jinglan disliked Lin Shan even more. Lin Shan was so drunk that he didn't even eat lunch this morning?

Zhou Hui also hurriedly pulled Lin Jinglan back, "Come on girl, let's cook in the kitchen with Mom." Apparently afraid of angering Lin Shan, he dragged Lin Jinglan into the kitchen.

Lin Jinglan knows how to cook, so she helped Zhou Hui.From the corner of her eye, she saw a large bruise on Zhou Hui's pale wrist under the sleeves rolled up for the convenience of cooking.

Lin Jinglan was taken aback, pointed and asked, "How did you do this?"

Zhou Hui quickly put down his sleeves to cover the bruise, and said with flickering eyes, "I accidentally touched it myself."

Lin Jinglan felt that something was wrong, thinking of Lin Shan's tugging on Zhou Hui just now, and asked, "Did Lin...my dad hit me?"

Zhou Hui denied it anxiously, "No, no."

Lin Jinglan glanced at the scarf tied around Zhou Hui's neck, and felt even more strange. Although the weather was getting colder, she didn't have to wear the scarf at home.

Lin Jinglan huffed and tore off the scarf around Zhou Hui's neck, and couldn't help but gasped.

There was a black and purple pinch mark on Zhou Hui's neck!

Lin Jinglan was furious, "Could it be that you did it yourself?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Zhou Hui quickly covered Lin Jinglan's mouth and said in a low voice, "Be quiet, keep your voice down, don't let your father hear you."

Lin Jinglan asked, "He hit you? When did it start?"

Zhou Hui's eyes turned red, and tears fell down, "It's just a while ago. Ever since the incident between you and Qin Zhao was blown up, Section Chief Qin has been bothering your father all the time. He is annoyed. Then I got the problem of drinking, and if I drink too much, I will have a bad temper."

"Mom is fine. It was an accident that he strangled my neck. It's also my fault. If he drank too much, he should ignore him. I just wanted to talk back to him that day, and blame me." Zhou Hui said.

Lin Jinglan sneered angrily, "Blame you? He strangled your neck, is it your fault?"

Zhou Hui tied the scarf around her neck again, not wanting Lin Jinglan to see her scars, "Okay, let's cook."

Lin Jinglan snatched the frying spoon that Zhou Hui picked up, and threw it on the ground with a bang, "Okay? He hit you! Are you going to let her hit you?"

Zhou Hui picked up the frying spoon, "If I don't talk back to him in the future, I'll be fine... Otherwise, what else can I do, I can't beat him..."

Lin Jinglan pondered for a moment, then asked seriously, "Do you still want to live with him? I know you don't have a job, but now I can earn money. If you want, you can divorce him and move out from here. I'll find a place Let you live and support your daily expenses."

Zhou Hui exclaimed, "What nonsense! What kind of divorce? We have lived together for more than 20 years, and you are so old...how can we get a divorce?"

"It's such an old age... how will the neighbors look at me after divorce? How can I have a foothold?"

Lin Jinglan couldn't understand Zhou Hui, "You would rather be beaten than divorced? Is it because you are afraid of being laughed at by the people around you?"

Zhou Hui sighed, "Mom is also for you. If you get divorced, how can you find your in-law's family? Once they hear that your father and I are divorced, who will want you?"

Lin Jinglan was dumbfounded by Zhou Hui's words, "Don't worry about me, just leave! I don't blame you if I can't get married!"

No matter how much Lin Jinglan persuaded, Zhou Hui was determined not to get a divorce, nor to move out.

Lin Jinglan couldn't persuade her, so she could only find a pen and paper, and wrote down the address of her school and the principal's name to Zhou Hui, "If you change your mind, just come to me at the address on this note." .This is the name of our principal, you can directly tell the principal, and the guard will let you in."

"Now that I can publish papers to earn manuscript fees, it's no problem to support you." Lin Jinglan folded the note and stuffed it in Zhou Hui's pocket.

Zhou Hui is already an adult. She would rather endure domestic violence than divorce Lin Shan or move out. This is her choice.

Lin Jinglan couldn't do anything except try her best to persuade her. She couldn't tie Zhou Hui up and let Zhou Hui follow her.

But for the sake of Zhou Hui being the original owner's mother, she still repeatedly told Lin Shan that if Lin Shan behaved more excessively, he must come to her.

Lin Shan returned home excitedly, his face flushed with joy, "Today, someone was a matchmaker for our girl, saying that the Zhang family has taken a fancy to our girl, and is willing to offer a four-piece dowry, plus two pieces of gold jewelry!"

Zhou Hui frowned, "Which Zhang family?"

Lin Shan said, "Old Zhang, his son!"

Zhou Hui was taken aback, and raised his voice and shouted, "Isn't his son a cripple? How can our girl marry a cripple!"

Lin Shan got angry, and also shouted at Zhou Hui, "Why is she crippled! Aren't her legs and feet inflexible? Do you think it's easy to find such a partner? Don't you look at how old the girl is!"

"She's [-] this year! After repeating her studies for two years, she's an old girl. If she doesn't get married now, she won't even be able to find her in the future!"

Zhou Hui didn't give in at all, and cried to Lin Shan, "I don't agree, our girl can't marry a cripple anyway!"

Lin Shan thought that the Zhang family's offer of so much dowry was a perfect marriage, so he drank some wine and came back happily to tell Zhou Hui, but Zhou Hui insisted on blocking it with such a loud noise.

Lin Shan was furious and impatient, for fear that Zhou Hui would spoil this good marriage.As soon as he got drunk, he stretched out his hand to grab Zhou Hui's neck, staring and asked, "Do you agree?"

"No, I will never agree to sell my daughter to a cripple for a bride price." Zhou Hui said hoarsely.

Lin Shan's hands were getting stronger and stronger, his eyes were flushed with anger, "Who are you talking about selling your daughter?"

Zhou Hui couldn't breathe, let alone speak, stared at Lin Shan, and pulled Lin Shan's hands out with both hands desperately.

But the more Zhou Hui struggled, the more Lin Shan used his strength.It wasn't until Zhou Hui's body fell limply that Lin Shan let go of his hand in horror.

Seeing Zhou Hui who was lying on the ground without breathing, Lin Shan was terrified and rushed out the door.

Zhou Hui lay on the ground, slowly recovered, and breathed again.After Yoyo woke up, Zhou Hui suddenly sat up from the ground, crying loudly.

She almost died just now!I have already walked through the gate of hell!
The feeling of suffocation is really too terrifying.

Seeing that Lin Shan was not at home, Zhou Hui hurriedly packed up his things and ran outside.She remembered what her daughter said before, she is going to find her daughter!

Zhou Hui ran all the way to the bus station, took out the small note in his pocket, waited for the bus to Qingshan Middle School to arrive, and hurriedly got in the car.

She was terrified, and she wanted to run as far away from the forest as possible.

When she arrived at Qingshan No. [-] Middle School, Zhou Hui remembered that Lin Jinglan asked her to go to the principal first. She told the guard tremblingly that she was afraid that the guard would not let her in. Unexpectedly, the guard let her in quickly and pointed her to the principal's office. .

Of course, it was Lin Jinglan who greeted the guard in advance just in case.

What surprised Zhou Hui even more was that when she arrived at the principal's office, the principal treated her very kindly, "Oh, you are Lin Jinglan's mother? You sit here for a while, and I'll ask Lin Jinglan to come over."

After a while, Lin Jinglan opened the door and came in.Seeing Lin Jinglan, Zhou Hui hugged her, tears streaming down his face, "I almost never see you again!"

Lin Jinglan also saw the shocking pinch mark on Zhou Hui's neck, which was already swollen.

After Zhou Hui finished crying, she said to Lin Jinglan, "Your father almost strangled me today. Girl, can you help me find a place to live first, and I will go back when your father's anger subsides?"

When Lin Jinglan heard Zhou Hui's words, she let out a long sigh, and said to the principal, "Look, can you help my mother find a faculty dormitory to live in first?"
