Chapter 361: It’s Not Just Female Competition Between Women

Fu Mingxue was surprised by her answer.

She had thought the girl would foolishly offer to pay more—to try and pay off the two thousand yuan sooner.

"May I ask why?"

"Two thousand yuan seems like a lot, and there’s no way I could come up with it all at once. But if it’s twenty yuan a month, I can just barely manage to grit my teeth and bear it. It just means I’ll have a tough time for the next few years while I’m in school."

"But I believe that once I start working, these hard times will pass. In the future, our country won’t be so poor, and everyone’s wages will go up. When that happens, twenty yuan might not seem like a lot of money. It’ll be easy for me to give, but it’ll be difficult for them to accept."

At this, she looked at Fu Mingxue nervously. "Teacher Fu, do you think I’m a bad person?"

Fu Mingxue chuckled. "How could I? For someone still in university to willingly endure hardship just to insist on paying two thousand yuan in support payments... that’s already remarkable."

"Since you have a clear plan, I won’t say any more. Focus on your studies for now. Your future is in your own hands. Remember, never stop learning, no matter what."

"You can go back now."

Hearing this, Song Zhaodi gave Fu Mingxue a deep bow. "Thank you, Teacher Fu."

Without waiting for Fu Mingxue to react, she turned and ran out.

Fu Mingxue was left speechless.

She sighed.

’It really isn’t easy for girls in this day and age.’

’Thankfully, I have a mother who loves me very much.’

’Thinking of her mom...’ Fu Mingxue felt a pang of guilt.

’I haven’t even called home since I got to Beijing.’

’Qin Wenhao may have called, but I’m her daughter, and I haven’t called once!’

At four-thirty in the afternoon, Song Zhaodi was already waiting nervously.

Once Fu Mingxue finished her work, she had Senior Yan go get her.

Yan Feng immediately ran to the classroom. "Student Song, could you please come out for a moment?"

He didn’t say that Teacher Fu was looking for her.

After all, there were still many other students in the classroom. If he just announced that Teacher Fu was looking for Student Song, what if the others let their imaginations run wild?

Song Zhaodi had been waiting the whole time, so when she heard Senior Yan call for her, she knew that Teacher Fu had sent him.

She quickly got up and walked out.

Yan Feng lowered his voice and said to her, "Teacher Fu is looking for you."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Yan." After thanking him, Song Zhaodi quickly broke into a jog.

Yan Feng was left a little baffled.

’There’s no need to be in such a hurry.’

Fu Mingxue had already packed her things.

When she saw the breathless Song Zhaodi arrive at the office door, she walked out and said, "Let’s go."

Song Zhaodi hurried to catch up.

When they reached the bicycle parking area, Song Zhaodi immediately said, "Teacher Fu, let me pedal!"

’How could she let Teacher Fu give her a ride?’

’She might look thin, but she had a large frame and was actually quite heavy.’

Fu Mingxue looked at her. "You don’t know the way. It’ll be more convenient if I pedal myself."

Song Zhaodi fell silent.

’That’s true. I don’t know the way at all. Teacher Fu would have to give me directions, which would be even more inconvenient.’

Fu Mingxue wheeled the bicycle out, got on, and then balanced with one foot on the ground.

"Hop on and get settled. I’ll take you there. Don’t worry, I’m a very steady rider."

Her strength was already greater than that of other girls her age.

And ever since she took that Constitution Pill, her strength had become even greater.
