Chapter 168
Outside the school, a woman in shabby clothes was standing outside the school gate, constantly looking inside.
The security guard walked over and asked politely, “May I ask who you are?”
The security guards of H City High School were all trained, and they were very strict with security. There were quite a number of students from villages and towns in H City High School, so naturally, they were not allowed to discriminate against people from poor families.
“I’m here to look for my daughter,” the woman replied.
“Which class?” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“Year 3 Class 1, Zhao Jia.”
“Then wait a moment.”
The security guard returned to the security office and called Liang Hua.
Liang Hua said impatiently, “Bring her in.”
She put down her phone and went to Class 1.
It was noon and school was already over. The other students had already gone to the cafeteria.
Class 1 was treated very strictly. They had to stay here to study for half an hour before they could leave.
Liang Hua stood at the door of the class and shouted, “Zhao Jia, your mother is here to look for you.”
Liang Hua didn’t give Zhao Jia much of a good look. Zhao Jia’s family background wasn’t good, and her grades were only average in Class 1. She really didn’t think much of her.
Hearing Liang Hua’s words, Zhao Jia’s face turned slightly pale.
Why would her mother come over?
Zhao Jia was a person who cared about her face. She was afraid that others would look down on her if they knew that she was also from the countryside.
At this moment, Zhao Jia was worried that her mother would come to her class to look for her, so she hurriedly ran out.
If her classmates saw her mother, all the hard work she had done for the past three years would have been in vain.
Fortunately, Zhao Jia’s mother was only brought downstairs by the security guards.
“Jia Jia,” Zhao Jia’s mother shouted happily when she saw Zhao Jia.
Zhao Jia’s face darkened, and she pulled Zhao Jia’s mother to a small forest nearby.
“What are you doing here?”
Zhao Jia stopped when she felt that there was no one here.
“Jia Jia, have you eaten lunch?” Zhao Jia’s mother asked very concernedly.
Zhao Jia rarely went back. Zhao Jia’s mother could only see Zhao Jia three times in a semester at most. Other than asking for money, Zhao Jia also wouldn’t call the Zhao family.
At this moment, when she saw Zhao Jia, her mother looked very happy.
“No,” Zhao Jia answered perfunctorily.
“Jia Jia.”
“Mom.” Zhao Jia’s expression was very bad. “Didn’t I tell you not to come to school?”
“I’m sorry.” Zhao Jia’s mother was very quiet.
“Tell me, why did you come to see me?”
Zhao Jia saw the tattered clothes on her mother’s body and was very disgusted.
She had to rely on getting into a good university to change her fate. She didn’t want to be like her mother, doing farm work every day. It was tiring and she earned little.
Zhao Jia didn’t want to stay with her mother any longer. She didn’t have so much time to waste with her.
Seeing that her daughter was annoyed, Mother Zhao quickly took out a sweat towel from her pocket. She opened it layer by layer, and there were thousands of dollars in cash.
This money was the money that Mother Zhao had earned from selling peanuts a few days ago, and it was very precious.
At this moment, she only kept two hundred dollars and stuffed the rest into Zhao Jia’s hands.
“Jia Jia, go and buy something to eat. Don’t be hungry. Don’t be too frugal. If you run out of money, I’ll give it to you.”
When Zhao Jia saw the money, her face finally didn’t look so bad.
In the end, she was still very impatient. “Okay, Mom, you go back first. I’m going to study.”
When she was studying in the town, Zhao Jia’s grades were the best. Mother Zhao had always been proud of Zhao Jia’s grades and knew that she was busy with her studies.
Mother Zhao nodded. “Alright, Jia Jia, you study hard.”
After hesitating for a while, she said, “Remember to come home for the holidays. Your father misses you very much.”
“Got it,” Zhao Jia said perfunctorily.
Just like that, Mother Zhao stayed with Zhao Jia for less than ten minutes before leaving the school.
