At the Jia family, Qin Huairu heard the noise in the yard and quickly opened the door to greet them. "Teacher Ran is here, come in quickly."

"Hello, Jia Geng's mother. I'm just stopping by for a home visit today."

As Ran Qiuye was talking, she parked her bicycle and followed Qin Huairu into the house. Jia Zhang deliberately scattered the matchboxes everywhere and even pulled a stick to help her paste the matchboxes.

As soon as Ran Qiuye entered the room, Jia Zhang hurriedly taught him, "Grandson, you have to be careful when you are done. When the money is paid, I can pay your tuition."

"If this gets broken, no one will want it!"

When Ran Qiuye, who was standing behind Qin Huairu, heard this, he knew that it would be difficult to get the money today!

However, she was already used to this trick of Jia Zhang's, because for every child who couldn't pay the tuition, as long as she went to their home to collect the tuition, their family would come up with all kinds of reasons for not paying the tuition.

So Ran Qiuye came into the house and spoke first: "I didn't expect Jia Geng to be a good child who knows how to share the burden of the family."

"No, no, that's all because of Teacher Ran's education!" Qin Huairu said as she poured water for Ran Qiuye, and Jia Zhang also put down what she was holding and stood up.

"You are Bang Geng's homeroom teacher? How is our Bang Geng doing academically now?"

Ran Qiuye said tactfully: "Jia Geng is quite serious in his studies, but we also need to supervise his studies. After all, he stays at home most of the time."

Jia Zhang was not happy when she heard this. "Ah? What did you say? You still need us to supervise you. Then wouldn't our tuition fees be wasted?"

Ran Qiuye immediately became embarrassed when he heard this. Fortunately, Qin Huairu beside him quickly said, "Teacher Ran is right. Only if we work together can Banggeng improve faster."

"What Jia Geng's mother said is very right. Thank you for your understanding."

After Ran Qiuye said this, the room instantly became quiet. Jia Zhang and Banggeng Xiaodang were busy pasting matchboxes, while Qin Huairu stood there looking at Ran Qiuye without saying a word.

This confused Ran Qiuye, because logically the Jia family should know the purpose of her visit, but what did they mean by leaving her out in the cold?

In desperation, Ran Qiuye had to take the initiative again and said, "Mother Jia Geng, the school has already started collecting tuition for this semester. I have delayed it for you for a while. Do you think it's right?"

Jia Zhang retorted, "What should I do? We are a family of five and we all rely on my daughter-in-law's salary. Logically, we should be exempted from tuition fees as poor families."

"I don't know about that, because after our investigation, your family just meets that standard, so~"

When Qin Huairu heard this, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ran Qiuye's arm. She had just received her salary as a formal employee. If she let it slip, how would others feel sorry for her in the future!

"Teacher Ran, don't worry, I will definitely pay the tuition, but can you give me a few more days?"

When Ran Qiuye saw the situation of the Jia family, he had no choice but to agree temporarily. Otherwise, who knows what they might say if he stayed any longer!

"Then I'll buy you two more days, but only two days at most."

"Okay, I'm really sorry, Teacher Ran. By the way, have you eaten yet? Do you want to stay for dinner before leaving?"

"No, no, I still have to visit other students' homes. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"goodbye teacher!"

Qin Huairu also immediately stood up and made a gesture to see someone off. Ran Qiuye had no choice but to turn around and leave the Jia family!

But as soon as Ran Qiuye left, Jia Zhang hurriedly asked, "Banggeng, grandma wants to ask you, how much does Teacher Ran earn?"

"How would I know? I don't usually talk to her."

"Look at you kid, that's your homeroom teacher. If you get along well with her, she can even waive your tuition."

Bang Geng heard this but said reluctantly: "Oh grandma, what are you thinking? Why should I spend my salary? Besides, if Hu Zi and the others knew about this, wouldn't they laugh at me to death?"

"What are you talking about? She's your teacher. She's doing a good deed to help your family because they're in financial difficulty. What's wrong with that?"

But Jia Zhang felt something was wrong as she was talking. "No, Banggeng, didn't your teacher just say that our family doesn't meet the criteria for a poor family?"

Bang Geng said uncertainly, "It seems, it seems that's what he said."

Jia Zhang slammed the table as soon as she heard it. "Okay, you dare to hide money!"

At this time, Qin Huairu happened to be outside and secretly gave the money to Ran Qiuye, and then she made up an excuse to get away with it.

As for Ran Qiuye, she didn't ask much. As long as the money was paid, it was fine. Other things had nothing to do with her!

But as soon as Qin Huairu returned home, Jia Zhang came up and slapped her in the face.

"Tell me, have you been regularized yet?"

Qin Huairu covered her face in confusion. "Mom, why did you hit me without knowing the reason? And what did you say about becoming a regular employee?"

"What else can I say? Of course I'm talking about your job. Do you really think I'm a fool?"

"Teacher Ran just said that our family does not meet the criteria for a poor family. How can you not meet the criteria if you are still receiving an apprentice's salary?"

Qin Huairu was shocked. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to react so quickly, but she quickly calmed down.

"Mom, who told you this? I just went out and explained the situation to Teacher Ran. They all said it was a mistake, but you just came up and slapped me. Are you being reasonable?"

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu with some confusion. "Did she really make a mistake?"

"What do you think? Can I come up with two dollars and fifty cents?"

"Our family now needs 16 yuan a month to buy food, plus various other expenses, and the salary is just enough to cover our expenses. If I'm not mistaken, how can I have extra money to give her?"

Jia Zhang snorted doubtfully. "It's a mistake, so I'm just giving you this slap to remind you."

"You'd better not do anything to let down the Jia family. Don't forget that your job belongs to my son, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"Mom, if you don't trust me anymore, I won't be able to live like this!"

Jia Zhang's attitude softened immediately after hearing this. "Look at what you are doing? Isn't this just a misunderstanding?"

When Qin Huairu saw that this tactic of playing hard to get worked, she knew in her heart that it was counterproductive, but she still forced out a few tears.

"Mom, you know how much I have done for this family over the years, but how can you treat me like this without any basis?"

Jia Zhang's face darkened. "Look at you, I've already told you it's a misunderstanding, all right, just help paste the box, I'll be more careful next time!"

Qin Huairu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to help paste the matchboxes without saying a word.

At this time, He Yuzhu outside the house wanted to kick Ma Hua to death, because this guy couldn't even speak after looking at Ran Qiuye.

"Hey, you're really screwed, what are you looking at now that this person is gone?"

Ma Hua finally came to his senses, and when he turned around, He Yuzhu burst into laughter.

"Hua Zi, do you know what your face looks like now?"

"like what?"

"Monkey butt~"

"Ah, I'm blushing. If you're not Master, please don't laugh at me. See you later!"

He Yuzhu watched Ma Hua running back to the backyard, and wondered what would happen if the two of them really got together?

However, according to my memory, although the situation was very tense at that time, Ran Qiuye was merely demoted to sweep the streets.

It would be nice if we could persuade her not to go to work before the storm starts, and then go back when the storm is over and there is a shortage of teachers…
