Chapter 460: Poor Parents
The door opens.
Su Mengyao and Zhao Jing walked into the office first.
Bai Lingshan walked in last. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his parents, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, sitting on chairs.
"Dad, Mom." Bai Lingshan called out twice, feeling nervous and a little aggrieved.
"Lingshan, your teacher said you deliberately broke your classmates' things. What's going on?"
Although two teachers told the couple what happened, Bai Lingshan's mother still wanted to hear what her daughter had to say.
Faced with his parents' questioning, Bai Lingshan could no longer hold back and finally lowered his head in shame.
Bai Lingshan was just crying. She couldn't tell her parents what she had done.
The parents, who knew their daughter well, understood everything when they saw Bai Lingshan acting as if he had done something wrong as before.
Obviously, what the two teachers said was true.
"You! How could you do such a thing? You are so stupid!" Father Bai said with some regret, pinching his thigh hard to relieve the depression in his heart.
"Lingshan parents, what Teacher Zhang said just now is right. Now that the incident has happened, let's solve the problem properly. Don't get too excited." Tang Zhiguo said.
Opening the drawer, Tang Zhiguo took out the broken Walkman and placed it on the table.
"This is the broken Walkman. Take a look."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai stood up and walked to the desk, looking down at the palm-sized Walkman.
"This is the thing, and it costs 1300 yuan?" Father Bai asked in disbelief, looking at the Walkman.
Father Bai didn't know what a Walkman was.
In his opinion, this thing is somewhat similar to a small radio, except that it looks smaller.
"Teacher Zhang, you are teachers at the school. We trust you wouldn't lie to us. Is this thing really worth so much money?"
Although Bai Lingshan's mother said she believed it, she didn't think so in her heart.
However, Zhang Huaiyu and that leader were both teachers at the school after all, and the word "extortion" sounded unpleasant, so Bai Lingshan's mother just didn't feel comfortable saying it out loud.
Facing the couple's questions.
Tang Zhiguo was well prepared and took out the credit card that Lu Ye had given him on the spot.
"This is the credit card issued by the seller when Su's husband bought this Walkman. It clearly states the sales price: 1300 yuan. If you don't believe me, you can take it and see for yourself."
Father Bai took the credit card and saw that this was indeed what was written on it.
"This..." After seeing the credit card, Bai Lingshan's parents couldn't help but believe it.
"It's such a small thing, but it's so expensive!"
Bai Lingshan's mother couldn't help but sigh.
"You, we spent money to send you to study here, and we thought you would bring honor to the family when you graduated, but you... Ouch!"
Father Bai held the credit card in his hand, shaking with anger, and began to lecture Zi Bai Lingshan as he looked at him.
At this time, Bai Lingshan could only cry. Her tearful face made her look weak and helpless.
Proved the value of the Walkman.
Tang Zhiguo continued to speak to Bai Lingshan's parents.
"This is classmate Zhao Jing."
"Bai Lingshan had a quarrel with Zhao Jing and held a grudge against her. He deliberately placed the Walkman on the edge of the bed to pin the blame on her."
"This is Su Mengyao. This Walkman belongs to her."
Hearing this, Bai Lingshan's parents looked at Zhao Jing and Su Mengyao.
He hurriedly said to her, "I'm so sorry. It's all our Bai Lingshan's fault. We apologize to you on her behalf. We're sorry."
"Lingshan was just confused for a moment, blinded by greed. You are all classmates, so please be magnanimous and don't bother with her. Just forgive her this time."
"We assure you that she will never do anything like this again."
Faced with the apology from Bai Lingshan's parents, Zhao Jing seemed at a loss.
Su Mengyao didn't say anything either.
The two stood there, watching the teachers deal with the situation quietly.
Tang Zhiguo continued, "Bai Lingshan's behavior has seriously violated our school's rules."
"However, based on the principle of teaching and educating people, our school still hopes to be able to bring students who have gone astray back to the right path."
"We invited you two here today because we want to deal with this matter face to face."
"This Walkman was deliberately damaged by Bai Lingshan, and it's worth a lot. Lingshan Dad, Lingshan Mom, you've seen the things. Now let's talk about compensation."
Hearing this, the couple felt a tightness in their hearts.
Zhang Huaiyu had already told them about this matter in general on the phone.
When they heard that they had to pay 1300 yuan in compensation, the couple were immediately shocked.
But for the sake of their children, the couple gritted their teeth, took out all their savings, and borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends.
But even so, they couldn't get enough.
After counting everything up, the couple managed to scrape together 1000 yuan.
Bai Lingshan's mother looked embarrassed. She looked at Tang Zhiguo and Zhang Huaiyu and asked humbly:
"Well, Mr. Tang, Mr. Zhang, if you damage someone's property, you have to pay compensation. We understand this principle, and we agree to pay. But can you...can you let us pay more slowly?"
"It's really difficult for us to come up with so much money at once."
This is not because Bai Lingshan's mother is crying poor. In this era, there are really not many families that can pay 1300 yuan at one time.
A worker only earns 36 yuan for a full month's work, which is equivalent to a person's salary for 36 months.
It would take three full years without spending a single cent to get enough money.
Seeing his parents' humble appearance at this moment, Bai Lingshan felt so regretful.
If it weren't for her, if it weren't for her jealousy, she would have done such a thing.
Her parents would not be so humble as to apologize for her recognition or even beg for help.
Hearing this, Tang Zhiguo glanced at Su Mengyao, thought for a moment, and then asked, "How much compensation can you give me now?"
"It's all here."
Bai Lingshan's mother reached into her bosom, took out a handkerchief on the spot, opened it and placed it on the desk.
There were big unity notes and a thick stack of one or two yuan bills in the handkerchief.
"This is exactly 1000 yuan. We will compensate you with this first. For the remaining 300 yuan, we will send you 50 yuan every month and pay you back within 6 months. Please rest assured that we will definitely not cheat." Bai Lingshan's mother said.
It is said that the love of parents is the most compassionate in the world.
The couple's combined monthly salary is 472 yuan. They have to support their parents and maintain household expenses. After taking out 50 yuan, they are left with only 22 yuan to support a family of five. How can this be enough?
"Mom~" When Bai Lingshan saw this scene, he burst into tears.
"Lingshan, it doesn't matter if you make mistakes. The key is to admit your mistakes and correct them. Mom hopes you can remember the lesson this time..." Bai Lingshan's mother said earnestly.
