Domestic upheaval

  Peng Weizhe clenched his fists tightly under his body, and his eyes were also filled with gloom. He was stubbornly asking questions, which made Xu Liuyan even more annoyed, as she didn't want to mention last night's incident at all.

  So she walked past him with a sullen face, now these young boys are really spoiled, they always throw tantrums and act arrogant as if they can take someone's life.

  She had just walked out a few steps when Peng Weizhe suddenly grabbed her from behind.

  "Don't go!"

  She instinctively struggled and broke free from Peng Weizhe's hand, but due to inertia, she fell heavily to the ground, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed in pain.

  "Ah! Teacher Xu, why are you sitting on the ground? What happened?"

  Peng Weizhe's face changed as he saw her fall, and just as he was about to go over and help her up, a surprised cry came from the doorway, and in walked Peng Weizhe's capable mother, Peng Yun.

  She saw her sitting on the ground, Peng Yun hurried over to pull her up. Xu Liuqing glanced at him, pursed his lips and stood silently beside Peng Weizhe, rubbing his wrist lightly and said,

  "It's okay, Sister Peng, I just accidentally fell!"

  Peng Yun looked at her son's ugly face and was about to scold him when Peng Weizhe spoke up.

  "I don't feel like going to class today, Teacher Xu, you can leave!"

  He finished speaking and turned around, walking towards his own room, finally slamming the door shut with force.

  Peng Yun called out to him several times from behind, but he didn't respond, so she had no choice but to turn around and give Xu Liu a apologetic smile.

  "Teacher Xu, don't bother with Xiao Zhe's temper, or else today's lesson will end here, and I'll still pay you the money!"

  Xu Liu smiled faintly and smiled.

  "No need, Sister Peng! I'll just take what I should get according to the class hours!"

  After she returned to school, Peng Yun called her and said that Peng Weizhe's recent mood was not very good, so she didn't need to go to class in the afternoon. She couldn't say anything and had no choice but to agree. She then devoted herself to finding a job, as there were almost no courses left in her senior year. Except for dealing with her thesis defense, it was all about finding a job. She had to find a good job before graduation to ensure her own and her mother's livelihood.

  After the Guo Ziyao incident, for the first few days, there were still people in school pointing and whispering about her, but later on, it all stopped. She felt that everything was being suppressed by an invisible hand behind her back, yet she herself was still confused. The thing that happened that night was never mentioned again, and her life began to return to its original simplicity and tranquility.

  That day she had just finished working on something else and returned home when she received a call from her mother, whose urgent gasps for breath sounded like the last cicada of summer, shrill and unbearable.

  "Xiao Li, your dad..., your dad..."

  "Mom, don't be in such a hurry, speak slowly, what's wrong with Dad?"

  She anxiously comforted her mother, who had severe asthma and was afraid that she would have difficulty breathing and suffocate with excitement, and there was no one to take care of her by her side.

  Her mother let out a few loud gasps and then suddenly shouted it out.

  "Your dad's in trouble!"
