Picking Up Fragments in PUBG

Chapter 200: The Beggar at the Market

Jiang Siming, unable to withstand the small guilt in his heart, ultimately decided to be straightforward with Yin Zirou and said, "Ms. Yin, I’m actually not a teacher. I’m just a parent, sneaking into the school to have a look."

Yin Zirou, twirling a lock of hair behind her ear, smiled and said, "I knew that long ago."

"Then why did you still call me Teacher Jiang?" Jiang Siming was surprised. Yin Zirou’s pretty lips curved into a dignified and graceful smile.

"Even though you’re not a real teacher, your piano skills are more than enough to be my teacher. Isn’t it reasonable for me, who wants to be your disciple, to call you teacher?" So that’s how it is. Jiang Siming thought he was in trouble, but now that it’s out in the open, he feels better and doesn’t have to feel like he’s doing something wrong all the time.

"It’s not excessive. You can call me whatever you want." Jiang Siming felt greatly relieved.

"Isn’t your name also fake? Do you plan to keep it hidden from me forever?" Yin Zirou smiled slyly at Jiang Siming.

"Cough, of course not, my name is Jiang Siming." Jiang Siming was very embarrassed, wishing he hadn’t used an alias earlier. It’s all because of watching too much "Love Apartment," being brainwashed by Lu Zijiao.

Yin Zirou glanced at the big basket in Jiang Siming’s hand and asked in surprise, "Teacher Jiang, did you buy so many vegetables? Are they for just one person?"

Jiang Siming nodded and said, "Yes, I can eat a lot. My girlfriend and I, she eats very little, so it’s mostly me eating." Looking at the small basket in Yin Zirou’s hand, which contained only a few potatoes and tomatoes, it made Jiang Siming seem like a big eater (laughing and crying).

"I see you’re carrying so much. Let me help you with some of it," Yin Zirou said. Jiang Siming was about to say no, but couldn’t resist Yin Zirou’s insistence, so he gave her some light vegetables while he continued to carry fish and wild rabbits.

"Has Teacher Yin finished shopping too? Where do you live? I can give you a ride, I happened to drive here." Read latest chapters at empire

Yin Zhirou shook her head with a smile and said, "No need, I live in this neighborhood, it’s just a few steps away."

"You live alone? You bought so little food." Jiang Siming asked curiously.

Yin Zhirou nodded and replied, "Yes, I live in Suzhou, but I teach in Shanghai alone."

Jiang Siming glanced at the surrounding environment. This market area had a mix of people and was somewhat remote. He was really worried about a girl living here on her own.

Moreover, she even had heart disease. God knows how her family could be at ease.

"Sir, my son and I are already so pitiful, why do you have to say such things? We may be beggars, but we are human beings too. How can you discriminate against us like this? The world is so unfair, we are truly unfortunate..." The male beggar’s ’wailing’ attracted the attention of passersby, and many began to point and stare at Jiang Siming and Yin Zhirou.

"What’s going on?"

"Do you need to ask? Didn’t you hear what the beggar said?"

"It must be that this couple is discriminating against the beggar, thinking they are better than everyone else."

"The world has truly declined. What right do they have to think they are better than beggars? I think they are even worse than beggars!"

"They are the dregs of society!"...

The voices of disapproval around her made Yin Zhirou feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles. As a teacher, how could she endure such gossip? "Teacher Jiang, I beg you, lend me the money. I will pay you back double, even five times."

"Ah~" Jiang Siming sighed and said, "I know you are in a difficult situation now, but if I give it to you, it would be like aiding a tyrant. It will only fuel the arrogance of such a petty person."

"Everyone can hear me! He even calls me a villain. My son and I are struggling in this society, merely wishing for three meals a day and to survive. Is it so wrong that society can’t tolerate us? Oh, my wife, why did you abandon us so cruelly? Take me with you, I can’t bear it anymore, wail wail wail..." The male beggar rolled on the ground, his words touching and sorrowful, easily evoking sympathy from passersby.

It just so happened that Qian Xiaojia, who was filming an outdoor program, was passing by. Seeing the commotion, he immediately ran over with his phone.

He was stunned for two seconds when he saw Jiang Siming, then whispered to the outdoor assistant by his side, "Isn’t this person Ming the mixed-breed?"

He used to call him "Ming God," but after Jiang Siming gave him a stern talking-to, he changed his nickname.

"It’s him! Definitely!" The assistant confirmed.

Qian Xiaojia immediately showed an excited expression.

"You have your day too, I will ruin your reputation right now!"
