“Actually, I didn’t want this to happen either! Before this, I only wanted to study hard and bring glory to my family, but I really didn’t expect to experience the corrupt nature of officialdom before I even stepped into it!” Liang Jiabao said.
“Sister Ran, I can’t tell you the details. I can only give you a summary! Do you know Pei Xuanxin, who Li Yan married?” Liang Jiabao suddenly changed the topic to the Li family.
Pei Xuanxin? Li Xiaoran thought of something and nodded. “I’ve heard of him, but I’ve never seen this person. What’s wrong? Is your encounter related to him?”
“It can be considered a little related! Sister Ran, do you know that our town has a few students with good scores this time? Other than Pei Xuanxin, who is publicly acknowledged as a talent, everyone else is considered an unmotivated slacker. However, they did well on the village examination, so although everyone is unconvinced, they didn’t say anything!” Liang Jiabao said.
Initially, Liang Jiabao didn’t take this matter to heart, but less than a month before the examination, two of his classmates suddenly found Liang Jiabao and made a request to him.
It turned out that these two students had a way to get the questions for the village examination beforehand and hoped that Liang Jiabao could answer them.
Liang Jiabao found it very strange. These two classmates usually relied on their family’s power and didn’t study at all.
Why did they suddenly change their ways? They even took out many questions and asked him to answer them to help them study.
At first, Liang Jiabao didn’t care. He even did a few papers for them.
In Liang Jiabao’s opinion, these two classmates might have suddenly come to their senses and wanted to study hard, so they came to ask him for help.
In order not to delay his classmates from studying, Liang Jiabao simply sent the papers he had finished to his classmates first. This could save them time.
Unexpectedly, as he passed a long corridor, he heard the voices of his two classmates not far away.
Just as Liang Jiabao was about to call out, he suddenly heard the other party mention his name.
Driven by curiosity, Liang Jiabao secretly approached to eavesdrop on what his two classmates were saying.
In fact, in a pavilion not far from the long corridor, not only were the two classmates Liang Jiabao was looking for gathered there, but there were also several rich playboys as well.
“Liang Jiabao might still be stupidly helping us answer the questions! He doesn’t know that the questions he’s answering now are the questions we spent a lot of effort to get,” a fat student said proudly.
“Don’t tell him yet. After he answers them, he’ll naturally understand. But at that time, he’ll be in the same boat as us. He won’t be able to escape even if he wants to. We can use this to threaten him to follow us to the capital for the examination. This way, we won’t have to worry about the examination!” Another arrogant student said coldly as he ate his fruit.
“That’s right! Just like this time, Young Master Qi and Ai Mingze used studying as an excuse and tricked Pei Xuanxin into going to the capital with them to take the examination! When the results of this examination are out, we’ll bring glory to our ancestors again!” The fat student said proudly.
“Pei Xuanxin is a little stubborn. If he finds out before the exam, won’t Young Master Qi and the others have wasted their efforts?” A hedonistic son who was in ill health due to getting drunk all the time and womanizing asked.
“Hey, don’t worry. I’ve investigated everything clearly. Young Master Qi has already secretly made a deal with Pei Xuanxin’s wife. Wouldn’t men become muddle-headed if someone he was intimate with tried to befuddle him?” As he spoke, the fat student smiled meaningfully.
When Liang Jiabao heard this, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and all his strength had been sucked out.
At this moment, he didn’t dare to move or even breathe. He could only hide quietly so that the group wouldn’t discover his whereabouts.
After those people left, Liang Jiabao waited there for a long, long time. He only walked out of his hiding place when it was almost dark.
“After I went back, I fell sick. With this illness as an excuse, I said that I didn’t have the energy to do questions for them and asked them to find someone else. The two classmates who found me seemed to have seen through my refusal and said with a smile, “Since you’re unwilling to help, forget it!”
“It was also from then on that I was targeted everywhere. Later on, a series of my essays and poems were plagiarized. I knew that these people were taking revenge on me and forcing me to submit. I was dejected, but I was afraid that they would force me to become like them, so I ran home. I refused to study anymore and only said that I got a headache from studying,” Liang Jiabao explained.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she gasped a few times.
She had thought of many possibilities, but not this.
“This is not a small matter. This is cheating! These people are really gutsy!” Li Xiaoran said in surprise and worry, “If they dare to do this, there must be some sort of powerful faction behind all of this. In that case, this year’s examination results definitely won’t be fair!”
Moreover, according to these people, these things might not have only happened this year. Perhaps it had happened in the past few village examinations.
Thinking about it carefully, Li Xiaoran finally understood why Liang Jiabao ran straight home.
“In that case, the other party might not let you off! Liang Jiabao, think about it carefully. If you run back, won’t it be easier for the other party to control you? If they threaten you with your parents, won’t you be forced to be in the same camp as them?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and reminded him.
When Liang Jiabao heard Li Xiaoran’s words, his expression immediately changed.
“I don’t think so!”
Seeing that Liang Jiabao was frightened, Li Xiaoran comforted him.
“You’ve been back in the village for many days! Perhaps I’m just overthinking!”
Liang Jiabao’s worry didn’t decrease. Instead, he felt that what Li Xiaoran said was very likely to happen.
“Sister Ran, what do you think I should do? What if those people really threaten me with my parents?”
Li Xiaoran thought about it carefully and said, “This hasn’t happened yet, so don’t scare yourself! Let me ask you, is there anyone in your grade who has better grades than you and is also from a poor family?”
Liang Jiabao thought about it carefully and nodded.
“Yes, there are two other classmates who seem to be on par with me, but I know that those two are actually better than me.. It’s just that they usually don’t show it!”
