"D*mn four-eyed man, hurry up and give me the money!"
At this time, four or five boys wearing school uniforms in Nanjiang No. 3 Middle School forced a boy wearing glasses and the same school uniform into a corner.
The name of the boy wearing glasses was Yang Lin. He was a student of Class Three, No. 3 and No. 3 of Nanjiang High School.
Nanjiang No. 3 Middle School was the worst and most chaotic high school in the whole Nanjiang City. Many students there usually fought with each other, and some students took advantage of their school power to ask some honest students for protection fees.
Yang Lin's parents were ordinary family members who didn't come from wealthy families. Because he didn't do well in the exam, he was admitted to the Three High Schools of Nanjiang. And because he was honest and introverted, people often asked for protection money.
Yang Lin said with a trembling mouth, "Brother Hu, I really don't have any money on me."
"You have no money!" The burly Wang Hu sneered and said, "Yang Lin, if you don't pay 100 yuan for your protection, you will die today."
Wang Hu and Yang Lin were both students of Class Three or Class Five in senior high school, but Wang Hu was a school tyrant in Class Three or Class Five in senior high school. No one was not afraid of him.
Hearing Wang Hu's words, Yang Lin showed a trace of fear on his face.
Yang Lin said nervously, "Brother Hu, didn't I give you 100 yuan for protection last week?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Give me the money quickly!" Wang Hu shouted with a ferocious face.
Yang Lin pleaded, "Brother Hu, I really don't have money. Please spare me!"
Yang Lin's monthly living expenses were only two or three hundred yuan. He only paid a hundred yuan last week, so he didn't have a hundred yuan to pay protection fees at all.
"If you don't have money, beat him hard!" Wang Hu shouted with a cold face.
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing Wang Hu's words, three or four of his men immediately began to punch and kick Yang Lin.
"Help!"
Yang Lin was thin and weak, so he was no match for Wang Hu and the others. Soon, he was knocked down to the ground.
About three or four minutes later, Wang Hu stepped on Yang Lin's head and said with a grim smile, "Yang Lin, I will give you one last chance. If you don't give me 100 yuan of protection fee tomorrow, I will hit you every time I see you."
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, a girl with a ponytail came over.
The girl with a ponytail was very beautiful. She stared at Wang Hu and said, "Wang Hu, you bullied Yang Lin again."
The ponytailed girl's name was Yu Xintian. She was very beautiful as the class leader of Class Three or Class Three. At the same time, she was also the beauty of Class Three or Class Five. Most of the boys in the class had a crush on her.
"Haha!" Wang Hu looked at Yu Xintian and teased, "Xintian, why did you help Yang Lin, such a good-for-nothing?"
Hearing Wang Hu call him a good-for-nothing, Yang Lin showed a trace of anger on his face.
However, Yang Lin knew that he was no match for Wang Hu at this time, so he could only choose to endure.
Yu Xintian said with a cold face, "Wang Hu, leave now, or I'll tell my teacher."
Hearing Yu Xintian's words, Wang Hu snorted and said, "Hum, let's go!"
After saying this, Wang Hu turned around and left arrogantly with his people.
After Wang Hu and others left, Yang Lin struggled to stand up from the ground.
"Yang Lin, are you okay?" Yu Xinran looked at Yang Lin and asked with concern.
"I'm fine!"
Yang Lin didn't want to see Yu Xinran in such a sorry state, because he also had a crush on her in his heart.
Although Yang Lin liked Yu Xinran, he did not dare to express his love for her because he knew that he was not qualified to do so.
Seeing Yang Lin's bruised face, Yu Xintian said, "Yang Lin, why don't we take you to the infirmary?"
"None of your business!"
Yang Lin picked up the schoolbag on the ground and turned to leave.
Seeing Yang Lin's back, Yu Xintian said angrily, "You really don't know what's good for you!"
It wasn't that Yang Lin didn't know that Yu Xintian was concerned about him, but he had self-esteem. He didn't want Yu Xintian to look down on him.
It had been three years. Yang Lin had been studying in Nanjiang No. 3 Middle School for three years. But in the past three years, he had lived like a dog without any dignity. At this time, his heart was full of anger, but he had no choice.
"Tomorrow, I have to pay Wang Hu 100 yuan for protection. What should I do?"
At the thought of Wang Hu's threat, Yang Lin was very nervous.
Yang Lin didn't want to ask his parents for money, because he knew that it was not easy for his parents to make money. He didn't want to increase their burden.
Unconsciously, Yang Lin came to a small stall selling glasses.
Because of the beating just now, Yang Lin's glasses were broken.
Yang Lin had no money to wear a new pair of glasses, so he wanted to buy a pair of glasses in the stall.
"Boss, how much is your glasses?" Yang Lin asked.
The one selling his glasses was an old man. This old man was dressed in a Taoist robe and had a white beard. He looked very strange.
The old man in the Taoist robe glanced at Yang Lin and said lightly, "Thirty!"
"Thirty?" Yang Lin touched his pocket and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Boss, can you be a little cheaper?"
"It's cheap?" The old man in the Taoist robe thought for a moment and suddenly took out a pair of glasses from under the stall. "This pair of glasses is 20 years old!"
Yang Lin took a look at the glasses and found that they were no different from ordinary glasses.
At this time, Yang Lin was in a dilemma because he only had 20 yuan on him.
But Yang Lin's range was as high as more than 500 degrees, and his glasses were broken and he couldn't go to class without a pair of glasses.
Yang Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll buy it!"
After saying that, Yang Lin paid 20 yuan to buy this pair of glasses.
Looking at Yang Lin's back, the old man in the Taoist robe showed an inexplicable smile on his face.
"I wonder if this pair of glasses is useful?"
Yang Lin muttered to himself with his glasses, and then he put them on.
"What the f*ck are you talking about?"
When Yang Lin put on his glasses, he found that he couldn't see anything at all.
"This damned profiteer! I'm going back to get even with him!"
After knowing that he had been deceived, Yang Lin turned around angrily and wanted to get even with the old man in the Taoist robe.
"Where is he?"
But when Yang Lin went back, he found that the old man in the Taoist robe, who had been setting up the stall, had disappeared completely.
"I'm so unlucky today!"
When he thought that he had been beaten and his only 20 yuan had been cheated away, Yang Lin couldn't help but feel disheartened. He felt that the whole world was going against him.
"Alas!" Yang Lin sighed softly and then went home.
Yang Lin's family lived in a residential area in a village in the city of Nanjiang City. His house was only about 50 square meters, and the three of them lived in a house of more than 50 square meters.
