Chapter 245 Helpful Xu Damao
"Hey, this girl is so pretty!"
Xu Damao, who had drunk some wine and was already a little tipsy, stared at the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared.
At this time, Yan Bugui followed Xu Damao's gaze and was also stunned.
"Why is Teacher Ran here?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Xu Damao's eyes when he looked at Yan Bugui suddenly changed.
"Second uncle, do you know this woman?"
Yan Bugui, "..."
Ran Qiuye is the most beautiful female teacher in their Red Star Primary School. How could he not know her?
However, being stared at by Xu Damao, Yan Bugui felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained,
"Da Mao, if it weren't for the second uncle, I wouldn't introduce her to you. It's really this teacher Ran Qiuye, who has just arrived at our school not long ago, and I'm not that familiar with her yet. But you know, she is the most beautiful female teacher in our school, and she has many suitors!"
"Ran Qiuye..."
Xu Damao didn't care about Yan Bugui's other words, but when he heard the three words "Ran Qiuye", his eyes lit up.
If it were an ordinary woman, Xu Damao would not look down on her.
Only a female teacher with temperament like Ran Qiuye would be worthy of Xu Damao's attention.
However, Xu Damao did not expect that Yan Bugui, this old man, would take the gifts but not do the job.
After glaring at Yan Bugui fiercely, Xu Damao, taking advantage of the alcohol, came up to Jia Zhang with a smile.
"Hey, Aunt Zhang, do you have any relatives?"
Xu Damao asked, pretending to be ignorant.
"How can she be a relative? This is Banggeng's teacher, her name is... Ran Qiuye. Yes, Teacher Ran Qiuye!"
Jia Zhang was in a bad mood, and when she saw Xu Damao, her expression changed immediately.
Their family owed the school tuition and miscellaneous fees, and they thought they could just put it off until the end of this semester. But they never expected that Ran Qiuye would come to their house to ask for tuition.
How could she feel embarrassed in front of so many people?
"Hello, you are……"
Seeing someone greeting him, Ran Qiuye smiled slightly and looked at Xu Damao very politely.
Ran Qiuye had just been transferred to Hongxing Primary School not long ago, but she encountered a problem right after she arrived. Several students in her class had not yet paid their tuition, yet the school gave this task to her.
There happened to be no classes in the afternoon, so Ran Qiuye thought about going there in person to collect the tuition money.
But she didn't expect that there would be a wedding banquet in the yard today. She wanted to invite Jia Zhang to the side and talk about this matter, but it was strange that this sticky mother didn't move at all.
For a moment, Ran Qiuye was in a dilemma.
"It's Teacher Ran. Hello, my name is Xu Damao and I live here. I'm showing movies in the cinema."
Xu Damao grinned and took the opportunity to introduce himself.
Since Yan Bugui didn't give him a chance, he could only create opportunities on his own.
Xu Damao was a smart man. He took a quick glance at the three of them and immediately noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
"Aunt Zhang, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, please tell me. We are all neighbors, maybe I can help you!"
Xu Damao said with fake enthusiasm.
He is single now and has accumulated a lot in the past two years.
Since they lived in the same courtyard, he naturally knew what kind of person Jia Zhang was.
Because in the past two years, more than one teacher came to collect tuition fees, and every time Jia Zhang was so impatient that she had to wait until the end of one semester and the beginning of a new semester before she would pay the tuition fees in order not to delay Banggeng's schooling.
Judging from the situation today, it’s most likely the teacher who’s here to collect tuition again!
"Hey, Damao..."
When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened.
How could she not see that there was something wrong with the look in Xu Damao's eyes when he looked at Ran Qiuye.
Just now Xu Damao was still yelling for Yan Bugui to introduce him to a date, but now...
Jia Zhang immediately smiled, stood up, and took the two of them to the central courtyard.
"Teacher Ran, it's not that I don't want to pay tuition. You may already know the situation of my family. There is no other way. The whole family depends on me to make money. This month's salary has not been paid yet."
Jia Zhangshi made it difficult for him to do so.
"Look, can you give me two more days? I will definitely pay the tuition once I get my salary!"
"But……"
Ran Qiuye's face was filled with embarrassment when he heard this.
Sure enough, what my colleague said was right. Banggeng’s mother is an old stubborn household. I heard that she earns a lot of money a month working in the steel rolling mill. Banggeng is the only child in the family. Even if she spends more money, she should be able to afford the tuition of two dollars and fifty cents per semester, right?
This is clearly an attempt to renege on a debt!
"Hey, I thought it was a big deal!"
However, at this moment, Xu Damao, who was standing aside, smiled and looked at Ran Qiuye and said,
"Teacher Ran, I want to ask, what is the total tuition fee?"
"Oh, that's two dollars and a half."
Ran Qiuye responded instinctively.
"Two dollars and a half."
Xu Damao said "oh" and started to feel around in his pocket, taking a dollar here, two dimes there, and in the blink of an eye, he had collected two dollars and a half.
"The child has lost his father, and it's not easy for an orphan and a widow. Teacher Ran, I'll pay for his tuition first, do you think this is okay?"
If it were any other time, Xu Damao wouldn't bother to pay attention.
But now it's different. He finally met a beautiful woman like Ran Qiuye, so he was not willing to miss this opportunity. He thought of using the money to help Banggeng pay for his tuition to establish a good impression in front of Ran Qiuye.
This way, it will be convenient to pursue her in the future.
When it comes to pursuing women, Xu Damao is always willing to spend money!
"This……"
Ran Qiuye looked at Xu Damao in surprise. She had frowned a little when she smelled the alcohol on Xu Damao just now, but she never expected that this seemingly unreliable man would be willing to help Banggeng pay tuition.
However, two dollars and fifty cents is not a small amount, so she still needs to ask Jia Zhang about this matter.
So, her gaze turned to Jia Zhang.
"Oh, Damao, it has to be you!"
But at this moment, Jia Zhang suddenly smiled happily, snatched the two and a half yuan from Xu Damao's hand, and stuffed it into Ran Qiuye's hand.
"Teacher Ran, take this money first. I will return it to Xu Damao after I get paid!"
As he spoke, he praised Xu Damao highly.
"Da Mao, I think you are a good person in this compound, thank you!"
"No, no, everyone has problems!"
Xu Damao waved his hand pretending to be generous, but his eyes were still fixed on Ran Qiuye, making Ran Qiuye feel a little embarrassed.
"Oh, by the way, I want to ask, do you know He Yuhao's parents? I'll do a home visit!"
Ran Qiuye suddenly remembered that in addition to coming to ask for money today, he also wanted to make a home visit to his classmates He Yuhao and Yi Miao.
