Jiang Wei lowered her head and quickly said the words she had been rehearsing for a long time: "Teacher, could you give me a little more time? Our family..."
Unexpectedly, before she could finish, she heard the class teacher's cheerful voice: "Jiang Wei, there's no need for an extension."
Her heart sank, and she had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain her family's real situation to the class teacher: "Teacher, the situation at the construction site back home hasn't been good this year. My dad can't find work, and despite begging the foreman, they won't pay him, saying there's no money now. I know this puts you in a difficult position, but we've already tried everything we could think of."
As she spoke, tears began to fall.
