Arrogant student slapped an old woman unaware who she was until something unexpected happened to her

Joy looked away. “Nothing at all.”

Tracy narrowed her eyes. “Stop that nonsense. What do you mean nothing? You just promised somebody money. Me and you know you are poor. Where will you get money from?”

Joy’s heart beat fast, but she kept her face calm. “Tracy, I’m not poor. Don’t worry. The Lord will provide.”

Tracy laughed mockingly. “I knew it. You are sleeping with men in this village. That’s where the money is coming from. I thought I was the bad one, but you are worse. You’re doing it secretly.”

Joy’s eyes widened. “Tracy, how can you say that?”

“Then explain. How did you pay your fees? How are you promising hospital money? Don’t tell me, ‘God will provide,’ like a child.”

Joy swallowed hard. She wanted to tell Tracy the truth, but the old woman’s warning flashed in her mind—Don’t ever tell anybody.

So she forced herself to breathe and said, “Tracy, I’m not sleeping with anybody. Please stop talking like this.”

Tracy shook her head slowly. “If you like, lie. But I will watch you, because something is going on.”

After school, Joy walked home quietly. When she reached the house, she entered her small room and locked the door gently. She stood there for a moment, breathing slowly.

Then she brought out the white native pot and placed it on the floor.

She looked at it as if speaking to a living thing. Then she touched it three times and whispered, “Please, my dear pot, I need money.”

Immediately, money appeared inside it.

Joy’s eyes widened. She covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from shouting. It was real. It was not a dream.

She quickly collected the money, counted what she needed, and hid the rest carefully.

Then she stepped out of the house. On the road, she met the junior student’s father coming toward her. The man looked worried and tired, like someone who had not slept.

“My daughter,” he said quickly, “my son told me you want to help us. Is it true?”

Joy nodded. “Yes, Papa. It’s true.”

The man’s eyes filled with tears. “Ah, God bless you. My son said you told him to bring us this evening.”

Joy shook her head. “No need, Papa. I couldn’t wait till evening.” She brought out the money and gave it to him. “Take this. Use it for the hospital and medicine. Please go quickly.”

The man stood as if dreaming. He looked at the money, then at Joy again in shock. “My daughter, are you sure?”
