Zhang Yitian was helpless, he could only stand outside and wait.

Not long after, a shy voice asked, ”Brother, who are you looking for?”

Zhang Yitian turned around, saw a young and tender face, and could not help but smile: ”I'm looking for Zhang Qianqian.”

Hearing Zhang Yitian say that, the girl's eyes immediately lit up: ”You're Qianqian's brother, right?”

Zhang Yitian nodded.

”Qianqian used to tell us that she had an older brother, and we were especially envious of her.” she said happily.

”It seems like you and Qianqian have a good relationship.” Zhang Yitian guessed.

”Of course, Qianqian is my best friend.” ”However...” She looked at Zhang Yitian with some hesitation.

”Did something happen to Qianqian?” Zhang Yitian could not help but ask worriedly.

She sighed and said, ”Qianqian was called to the office to be punished because she couldn't purchase the reference book specified by the teacher.”

”What did you say!” Zhang Yitian was suddenly a little angry.

He had also attended high school, so he naturally knew about reference books. Most teachers wouldn't force their students to buy one, after all, the quality of a student's knowledge had nothing to do with him. However, Zhang Qianqian was actually punished because he did not buy a reference book. There was only one possibility, this teacher was cooperating with the bookstore and he could profit from it.

After Zhang Yitian asked around, he directly rushed towards the teacher's office.

”I really don't know what the meaning of you poor students going to school is. If you can't even afford this information book, then you should be able to get into university. Stop joking!” If he didn't go to university, even if he finished high school, what could he do? Wasn't it the same as going home to farm? Rather than doing that, it would be better to head back now so as not to waste the classroom space. Let me tell you, some people are born lowly, and no matter how hard they try, they will never change. ”

Inside the office, a well-dressed woman in her thirties was reprimanding a girl in old clothes. She wore a ponytail, and even though her clothes were plain, it couldn't cover up her peerless face.

However, she was enduring a great humiliation and could not stop her tears from rolling down her face.

Zhang Qianqian knew that although her teacher was being excessive, she couldn't refute him. This was a chance that her brother had given up his studies to get her to attend school, if she was expelled for disrespecting her teacher, what qualifications did she have to see her brother? She had to continue studying until she entered university!

”Some time ago, someone in my class lost a hundred yuan. Did you steal it?” Zhao Chunhua asked Zhang Qianqian with a cold smile.

She knew too much about the children of poor families, and each one of them had a lower quality than the last.

”I didn't steal it.” Zhang Qianqian said softly, saying that she could do anything else, but saying that she could steal someone was unacceptable to her.

This was what her parents and older brother had always wanted from her, and it was also her bottom line as a person. She would always remember her brother's words: A man can be poor, but his dignity cannot be poor!
