Chapter 15: Are Poor People People?
As soon as Nie Qiu arrived at school, she walked towards Chen Li with money. She had known since yesterday that Chen Li and Li Kai, one was the study committee member and the other was the class monitor. Regardless of their academic performance, they had a certain influence in the class.
At that moment, Chen Li was applying makeup with a few girls. Nie Qiu walked over and placed the money on Chen Li’s desk, saying softly, “Chen Li, I’m paying for the printing of exam papers for three subjects.”
As soon as Nie Qiu spoke, it caused the girls to burst into laughter, their laughter filled with mockery and disdain.
Chen Li pointed at the coins Nie Qiu had placed on the desk, “Take away your dirty money! Oh my god! What is this! It’s disgusting.”
Nie Qiu felt a little uncomfortable but still said, “Chen Li, I’m paying for the printing of exam papers.”
Chen Li pouted, picked up a book from the desk, and swept the coins on the desk to the floor, “If you want to pay, pay for all of them. Paying for three subjects, I won’t accept it.”
Nie Qiu listened to the sound of coins rolling and watched them scatter on the ground. Nie Qiu was furious and couldn’t help but shout, “Chen Li, don’t push your luck too far!”
“Oh, you think I’m afraid of you or what? Don’t you know how you ended up in the hospital? How dare you yell at me, are you tired of living?” Chen Li’s eyes slightly narrowed, her tone filled with disdain. Although she was very surprised that Nie Qiu dared to talk back to her, she believed that as long as she showed this expression, this person would apologize to her with their head down, just like before.
Nie Qiu sized up this beautiful girl, completely disregarding her threat. So, was it these people who had beaten the previous Nie Qiu into the hospital? What kind of hatred would cause a young girl to be beaten into the hospital? If this is the case, what will these girls become when they grow up?
“What? You’re scared now, aren’t you? If you’re scared, then apologize to me properly, and say ‘Adult Chen Li, I am stupid, I am an idiot, please don’t take it to heart,’ and I’ll let you go.” Seeing Nie Qiu didn’t answer, Chen Li thought Nie Qiu was scared and proudly raised her head, looking at Nie Qiu with disdain.
“So you’re stupid, you’re an idiot!” Nie Qiu curled her lips and looked at Chen Li with disdain, “You really have self-awareness.”
Moving a chair to sit around Chen Li, the girls who were applying makeup with Chen Li were first slightly surprised by Nie Qiu’s words, and then they all stood up, slapping the table, “Nie Qiu, what did you say?!”
“Do you want to die? Watch what you say!”
Even more surprised and angry than these girls was probably Chen Li herself. She let out a cold laugh and raised her hand, about to slap Nie Qiu. Nie Qiu blocked her hand and took a step back.
Her attack unsuccessful, Chen Li shook her arm, which was sore from being blocked, and swung her other hand towards Nie Qiu’s face.
Nie Qiu let out a cold snort. She had encountered all sorts of students. In her tutoring class, there were many delinquent high school students, all sent to her tutoring class by their parents to study. In the beginning, these students would always skip class, get into group fights, rob, and even premeditated rape.
It wasn’t that they were poor. Those who could attend her tutoring class, those who could afford her tutoring fees, were not from impoverished households. They were just seeking excitement, and more importantly, to get their parents’ attention.
She had held meetings with many parents and teachers at her tutoring class, but there was no effect. Unable to help, she recalled reading about adolescent psychology in the juvenile education law. Although using violence to counter violence was not good, Nie Qiu still learned Taekwondo and Judo.
It was very difficult at first. She had been reading books for years and didn’t exercise often. Her muscles, meridians, and bones, which had not been stretched since childhood, made it very difficult for her to learn these martial arts.
Until the day she died, she was only a red belt in Taekwondo. However, she could handle some high school and university students who only ate and didn’t gain weight, or gained weight but not muscle. Whenever someone was absent from school, she would challenge these students’ bottom line, provoke them, and then defeat them and bring them back to the tutoring class to continue their studies.
Of course, when using violence, she usually had the permission of the parents and the students themselves.
Dealing with Chen Li, honestly, Nie Qiu found it very easy, but… she didn’t want to escalate the matter, so she only defended and didn’t attack.
Chen Li was furious. She didn’t expect Nie Qiu to dare to block her. In the past… didn’t they always beat her, and she always took it?
Seeing Chen Li panting, Nie Qiu straightened her body and shouted coldly, “Enough, Chen Li! The whole class is watching. You started it. If you dare to make another move, I will tell the teacher about this! Let’s see how the teacher disciplines you.” Nie Qiu narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing within them. Good, it had been years since anyone dared to be so presumptuous in front of her. Even the fleas who had just joined the tutoring class, she could find ways to make them quiet down.
“Uh…” Chen Li was somewhat intimidated by Nie Qiu’s sudden sharp gaze and unconsciously took a step back. It was a subconscious reaction. Nie Qiu’s gaze was too terrifying. How did she suddenly become so formidable?
After dodging, Chen Li realized she had overreacted. Seeing her close sisters looking at her strangely, Chen Li suddenly felt extremely pathetic. Who else could she be afraid of, but she was afraid of her!
Nie Qiu knew that girls of this age were still somewhat afraid of teachers, but Chen Li’s reaction was a bit excessive. For these old hands, although they feared punishment, they still played on their mobile phones or daydreamed during class, didn’t they?
But fighting was different. Fighting could easily involve parents, and if parents found out, it could lead to another scolding. Usually, teenagers don’t want their parents to know what happens at school.
Nie Qiu thought she had scared Chen Li with her words and crouched down to pick up the coins on the ground. There were two ten-yuan bills, and the rest were all coins. There were many desks in the classroom, and it was almost time for morning self-study. Most of the classmates had arrived, so finding the money was a bit difficult.
Unexpectedly, Chen Li was not scared by Nie Qiu’s words, but by Nie Qiu’s gaze. Feeling regretful for her actions, Chen Li, without thinking, stepped on Nie Qiu’s hand, which was picking up coins.
When Chen Li stepped on her, the sudden pain made Nie Qiu cry out, “Ah!”
Hearing Nie Qiu’s scream, Chen Li felt a sense of satisfaction. She smiled and ground her foot, stepping hard on Nie Qiu’s hand, “Nie Qiu, do you think I’m afraid of you? Do you think I’m afraid of the teacher? Don’t be ridiculous! I wanted you to apologize to let you off the hook, but I didn’t expect you to be so unappreciative. You refused a toast only to be forced to drink a fine! Then don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Nie Qiu endured the pain, sweat dripping, and looked up, “Impolite? Is that so?” As soon as she finished speaking, Nie Qiu grabbed Chen Li’s ankle with her other hand and flipped her over fiercely.
“Ah!” Chen Li cried out in surprise and was flipped to the ground by Nie Qiu. Her back of the head hit the corner of the desk, causing Chen Li to cry out again.
