Chapter 156 It’s better to be rational
The road further inside was too narrow, so the online taxi driver did not take us in.
Lin Yi and Luo Qinghan walked in.
When they arrived at a single-story cottage, Luo Qinghan took Lin Yi in.
An old woman was sitting on a chair outside, looking at the two strange young man and woman with some surprise and curiosity.
"Hello, Granny Fan. I'm Lu Xiaoya's teacher. She should have told you that I'm here for a home visit today."
Luo Qinghan smiled and simply greeted the white-haired old woman.
The old man was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He stood up and asked in surprise: "Are you Teacher Luo?"
This is not surprising. These old people don’t know how to use smartphones and have definitely never seen Luo Qinghan’s appearance.
Even if her granddaughter had told her in advance that Luo Qinghan was very young, she probably would not have thought that she was such a beautiful girl.
Granny Fan quickly stood up and apologized: "I'm so sorry, I didn't come to pick you up in advance, and you had to come all the way here, and Xiaoya didn't come back with you."
"It's okay. Xiaoya still has to go to school and work part-time on weekdays."
As Luo Qinghan answered with a smile, Granny Fan also noticed Lin Yi standing aside.
"This is."
"My husband, Lin Yi."
Lin Yi also nodded and greeted the old lady: "Hello, grandma."
"Okay, stop standing outside, let's go in."
Granny Fan wasn't too surprised. In their time, boys and girls would get married and start a family at the age of sixteen.
According to this standard, it is very late for Lin Yi and Luo Qinghan.
After Lin Yi and Luo Qinghan entered the house, they sat together on a bench, and Grandma Fan poured two cups of tea for them.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you, Teacher Luo, to come this morning. I didn't prepare anything."
"No, no, I'm just here for a home visit."
The two exchanged pleasantries and began to talk, while Lin Yi looked around the house.
He didn't know how long it had been since he last saw this kind of single-story cottage.
Compared to Xia Muyu's home, this place is obviously shabby.
Xia Muyu's family became difficult because of the accidental death of his father and the serious illness of his mother.
Lu Xiaoya's family is a normal poor family.
This place used to be a poor county, but it has become better because of poverty alleviation.
"Mother-in-law, what do Xiaoya's parents do? Let me make some notes."
Luo Qinghan took the record sheet and took notes while asking questions, while his cell phone was also recording.
To be honest, this is a bit too much. If you don't know, you might think that it's a police officer taking notes during a home visit, but there's nothing we can do about it since it's a requirement from above.
"Xiaoya's parents both work in Luzhou, and they are ordinary workers on the construction site."
Luo Qinghan felt a little sad while taking notes. Lu Xiaoya's parents were laborers. They were paid low wages, but the work was tiring.
After everything was done, Luo Qinghan and Lin Yi said goodbye to the old man.
After walking for a while, Luo Qinghan said to Lin Yi: "I want to help Lu Xiaoya's family. This family seems to be quite poor. Her parents work as laborers but their wages are still low."
But Lin Yi rejected it decisively: "Goodbye." "Why?"
"Because it will cause a lot more trouble."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, Luo Qinghan thought of something, but she didn't think it was a big deal: "No one should know about it. I'm just sponsoring it personally. I'll just tell Lu Xiaoya about it. No one in the school knows about it and it won't have any impact on her life."
"Oh, no, it's not necessarily a good thing for her."
Lin Yi sighed: "First of all, one thing cannot be completely airtight. You want to visit five families, you can't support each one, right? Xia Muyu, you didn't support them either."
"This is mainly because Xia Muyu has Luo Ye. If he really encounters any difficulties, he doesn't need me. Besides, as for other families..."
Luo Qinghan thought about it and did not insist. She felt that what Lin Yi said made sense. If she only sponsored one family, then there might be people finding fault with her behind her back and spreading rumors.
Lin Yi continued, "Secondly, if you transferred the money to Lu Xiaoya's own bank card, should you tell her parents? If you transferred the money to her parents' bank card, it's hard to say where the money will be used."
"We don't know the other party's family situation, whether there are any shameless relatives. After you provide financial assistance, the other party's relatives come to borrow money. Whether they pay it back or not is another matter. Then your financial assistance will be completely ineffective."
"Um"
Luo Qinghan was silent. She knew the relationships among her relatives very well. The family she was born into was full of intrigue and there was no mutual help among relatives at all.
"Also, we don't know the true character of the other party's parents. If you provide financial support now and stop providing support someday, they may bite you back. The current financial support is in the name of the school. You are just completing a task and it has nothing to do with you."
Lin Yi's words made Luo Qinghan feel that he had gone too far: "That shouldn't be the case. They are all uneducated and rough people. They can't be so vicious, right?"
Lin Yi just smiled: "Don't overestimate human nature. There must be something hateful about pitiful people. This statement is applicable in most cases."
Luo Qinghan was silent again. She was not stupid and after thinking carefully, she felt that Lin Yi's words made sense.
She also suddenly realized that Lin Yi was indeed more rational, while she was too emotional and easily influenced by her emotions.
Luo Qinghan began to understand why her father did not value her and wanted her to inherit his position.
And her brother Luo Tian's somewhat flattering behavior might really be necessary, but she couldn't do it.
After returning to the outside of the village, Lin Yi and Luo Qinghan fell into deep thought as they looked at the winding mountain road.
Then they asked each other: "How do we get back to the city?"
Luo Qinghan really didn’t know, so Lin Yi began to think: “I wonder how long it will take to get an online taxi here.”
"There's no need to go back to the city. We can go to the canyon scenic area here. We can enjoy the scenery there tomorrow. But how do we get there? If we walk there, our legs will probably be broken."
Lin Yi acted impulsively and didn't ask the driver to wait for them a little longer. At most, he would just have to pay a little more.
The two were walking along the mountain road when they suddenly saw an old bicycle parked outside a house on the side of the road.
Lin Yi thought that it was not a good idea to keep walking, so he decided to just use a bicycle, which would definitely be better than walking on foot.
When he first went to buy it, the other party still didn't agree. Lin Yi directly gave him two thousand and the other party sold it.
All I can say is that as long as it is material, there is nothing that money cannot buy. If it cannot be bought, then it means that you don’t have enough money.
Lin Yi pushed the bicycle and said to Luo Qinghan, "Come on, the navigation shows that it will take more than an hour to get to the scenic spot by bike. There should be a homestay there."
"Is it really okay to ride a bicycle? I'm afraid you'll be exhausted."
"It's okay, we'll take turns riding."
