Chapter 108: The Incident of Hitting Someone on South Street

Jiang Qin found his soul really wasn’t suited to sitting properly in class anymore, he couldn’t adjust his state of mind at all and couldn’t resist the drowsiness either.

“Feng Nanshu, pinch me.”

Feng Nanshu reached out and pinched him lightly, “Does it hurt?”

Gao Wenhui couldn’t help but lean over, “Don’t go easy! Pinch hard, like how my mom does to my dad. Don’t grab too much flesh, just pinch a little and it hurts the most!”

“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Feng Nanshu learned another little trick.

The next second, Jiang Qin was grimacing in pain, instantly much more alert, “Gao Wenhui, can you not teach her everything? Feng Nanshu really learns whatever you teach!”

“Sorry.” Feng Nanshu quickly let go.

“It’s fine, if you like it then continue, it’s quite effective.”

Gao Wenhui laughed, watching other people’s love lives was so fun, she ships it hard!

At the same time, Zhuang Chen sitting behind them glanced at Jian Chun, his heart a bit moved, “Jian Chun, I’m a little sleepy, can you pinch me?”

“You should sleep for a bit, I’ll keep an eye on the teacher for you.” Jian Chun said softly, her eyes not leaving the blackboard.

“Okay then.”

Although he didn’t get the physical contact he imagined, Zhuang Chen was actually quite satisfied. Watching the teacher for him was also a form of care. The love in this world is different for everyone, no need to mind how others interact.

Just like that, in a daze of drowsiness, class ended. Jiang Qin went straight back to the dorm to take a nap.

As a result, he slept until 8pm. When he woke up, it had already started raining outside, the sound of rain pattering, the air filled with a damp chill.

Jiang Qin got dressed and came downstairs, planning to go to the cafeteria for dinner, but unexpectedly got a call from Jiang Tian.

“Jiang Qin, can you drive over to South Street?”

“I’m not going, you guys go ahead.”

“We’re not going for a stroll, someone got hit, can you come help? Taxis can’t go on South Street and we can’t find a car.”

“Someone got hit?”

A minute later, Jiang Qin left the dorm and drove out the school gate.

At the same time, on the deserted South Street, heavy rain poured down, quickly forming streams of water on the road.

Because no one was out eating, the whole street seemed desolate, only the neon signs of the shops looking garish under the reflection of the rainwater.

Jian Chun was standing under a black awning, looking very upset.

Pedestrian streets don’t allow cars in the first place, but she was in a hurry to get back to the dorm when she saw it was about to rain, so she rode her bike across the street. She didn’t expect to hit an old lady at the intersection.

She was very flustered now but couldn’t help resenting Jiang Tian for randomly asking Jiang Qin for help.

Jiang Qin had such a sharp tongue, who knew how he would mock her when he arrived.

Plus the old lady refused to go to the hospital, insisting on going home no matter what. She felt there was no point in calling Jiang Qin, better that he didn’t know.

Actually, she didn’t understand, in this situation, Jiang Tian and the others were also a bit flustered, so they wanted to find a pillar of support. With this thought, the first person that came to mind was Jiang Qin.

“You really won’t go to the hospital?”

Zhuang Chen was standing under the awning at this time while Song Qingqing and Pan Xiu kept checking the old lady’s wounds, making sure she was alright.

Actually, the old lady wasn’t seriously hurt, her hand was just scraped and her ankle twisted, nothing else.

Soon, the black Audi drove through the curtain of rain. Jiang Qin stopped the car, opened an umbrella and walked over.

“You changed cars?” Song Qingqing’s eyes lit up.

Jiang Qin nodded and walked straight to Jiang Tian, “What’s the situation, where’s the injured person? Is it serious?”

“Not serious, Jian Chun just hit an old lady with her bike.” Jiang Tian told the truth.

“Bike?”

The worry in Jiang Qin’s heart dissipated. He thought, that scared me to death, I thought it was some serious car accident but it was a bike. Next time can you clarify, oil on a rainy day is really dangerous!

But since he was already here, Jiang Qin didn’t complain too much, “Then let’s not delay, hurry and go to the hospital to get checked.”

“The problem is the old lady doesn’t want to go to the hospital and is telling us to just leave, saying it’s no big deal.”

Jiang Qin couldn’t help frowning, thinking Jian Chun was really lucky. Hitting someone with a bike was no big deal, just go to the hospital for a check-up, pay some medical fees and such.

But if she met someone unreasonable, a small matter could turn into a big deal. What he didn’t expect was that the other party didn’t even want to go to the hospital and told them to leave. That was too fortunate.

“This matter could be big or small. I suggest going to the hospital if possible. Elderly people this age could fracture a bone from a fall.”

Jiang Qin said a sentence to Jiang Tian then came under the awning to look at the old lady. She was very thin and small, her body a bit hunched.

From her clothing and mental state, one could see her life wasn’t good. Not only were her clothes worn, her hands were so thin there was only a layer of skin left.

Jiang Qin looked and actually there was no major issue, just scraped skin on her hand and a wound on her heel that was seeping blood.

“Granny, let me drive you to the hospital.”

The old lady immediately waved her hand, “I don’t need the hospital, you all hurry back, you still need to go to school.”

“It won’t take much time, I’ll drive you, two or three hours at most.” Jiang Qin patiently persuaded.

“Even two or three hours won’t work, my son hasn’t eaten.”

“?”

Hearing this, everyone around was stunned. From the old lady’s appearance she seemed to be in her sixties or seventies. Her son should be an adult, how is it his mother still needs to worry about his meals?

But the old lady insisted on not going to the hospital and stubbornly wanted to leave. Left with no choice, Jiang Qin could only have Song Qingqing and Pan Xiu support her as the group sent the old lady home.

Under the misty rain, the old lady was guided to the very back alley of South Street, arriving in front of a small fruit stand.

She pushed open the crumbling wooden door, revealing a small space of only a few square meters. Inside was a wheelchair with a middle-aged man sitting in it, his eyes a bit dull. He could only make whimpering sounds, likely paralyzed.

“You all go back, I need to cook.” The old lady started shooing them away again.

Jiang Qin told her not to cook and had Jiang Tian go buy some food from nearby shops. He also handed the umbrella to Zhuang Chen along with 200 yuan, telling him to go to the supermarket to buy a case of milk and such.

Watching Jiang Qin methodically directing everyone, Jian Chun was a bit dazed.

“Granny, this is your son?”

“Yes.”

The old lady said she was a vendor on South Street, running the small fruit stand in front of them. Her son was paralyzed and needed to be fed every day to survive.

She said the stall was given to them for free by the government as poverty alleviation. The fruits were also provided by a kind-hearted supplier. They operated this small stall on South Street. Although they didn’t earn much, they could barely scrape by.

After hearing this short story, the girls from Class 3 were all teary-eyed, insisting on giving the old lady donations, but she only accepted a hundred.

“I’m poor but I don’t beg. Buying some ointment will do.”

“…”

Jiang Qin watched silently from the side, feeling Jian Chun really met a good person. Otherwise she definitely would have suffered a big loss this time.

“Jiang Qin, do you think there’s any way we can help them?”

Jiang Tian looked at Jiang Qin with misty eyes. Actually, she also didn’t know what Jiang Qin could do since the old lady didn’t even want money. But she still couldn’t help asking, making it seem like Jiang Qin was omnipotent.

Jiang Qin indeed could help her. Based on the forum’s current traffic, as long as he publicized the old lady’s situation, with university students’ kindness and enthusiasm, they probably wouldn’t be able to supply enough fruit to sell.

However, this kind of action could very likely attract the hostility of surrounding vendors.

Oh, we spend thousands or tens of thousands on advertising but she gets it for free just for being a bit more pitiful than us?

The human heart, Jiang Qin had seen too much of it in his past life. Really not everyone sympathizes with the suffering.

And suffering is quite interesting. Suffering especially seeks out the suffering.

There was also another point. There was a fruit supermarket on South Street that had a partnership with the forum. If he really helped the old lady advertise, that would be equivalent to violating the contract.

Kindness, he had it, but it couldn’t be expressed arbitrarily.

Jiang Qin pondered for a while and took out his phone to call Cao Guangyu.

The forum’s second biggest V, the average Cao young master.

Old Cao had no affiliation with the website and wasn’t involved in any related commercial partnerships. So no matter what he posted on the forum, it had no direct connection to the forum.

Also, Old Cao is popular!

Don’t be fooled by his posts being ridiculously absurd. He has people cursing him on every post, that’s also a kind of skill.

For this matter, unless he took action, there was no good solution.

“Old Cao, where are you right now?”

“South Street internet cafe? That works. Go out the door and walk to the back. When you see the sign for the public bathhouse, turn in. There’s a place called Huimin Fruit Stand, I’ll wait for you here.”

After hearing this, Jian Chun couldn’t help gritting her teeth. She didn’t want too many people to know about this, “Why did you call Cao Guangning to come?”

“That character is pronounced Yu.” Jiang Qin glanced at her, “Did you go to school?”

“…”

Old Cao quickly arrived, very dissatisfied with the game being interrupted, telling Jiang Qin, “You better have something important!”

Jiang Qin explained the situation to him. Looking at the scene before them, Old Cao immediately fell silent.

“You’re now a big V on the forum with very impressive influence. If you make a post, it might be able to help her. But it could also very likely ruin your persona. Maybe people will even curse you, saying you’re a rich second generation, why not just give money directly? Think about it yourself. Helping is a favor, not helping is also proper.”

“Then…I’ll give it a try.”

Jiang Qin glanced at him, “You sure?”

“Yeah, trying doesn’t cost money.” Cao Guangyu nodded.

“Not bad Old Cao, didn’t expect you to have good points, you’re actually so kind.”

Old Cao spat, “Damn it, I didn’t even finish my game before coming, it’s all your fault.”

“Then it’s decided. I’ll have them write a draft for you later. You just need to post it on the forum.”

“Want me to write it myself?”

Jiang Qin was a bit surprised, “You sure?”

“I’m a student at Linchuan University after all. I still have a bit of literary skill.”
