Fang Tongtong looked at He Xiaohong with sarcasm. He Xiaohong's clothes were all brand names, ranging from several thousand to several hundred yuan. She was dressed in more expensive brands than Fang Tongtong. Fang Tongtong thought, "It's obvious where she spends her money."

"No...no, I...I bought study materials, and I also bought some for my younger siblings and sent some to my parents. I...I didn't spend much of it myself..."

He Xiaohong tried to defend herself, but her reasons were weak and unconvincing, and even Teacher Mao didn't believe her.

"First graders don't need to buy too many study materials, at most a few hundred yuan. What did you buy?" Teacher Mao asked sternly.

He Xiaohong lowered her head deeply and said softly, "Computer, and cell phone, tablet... these..."

“These are not necessary learning materials. Learning mainly involves knowledge from books. Although computers are sometimes used, the school has a computer lab. You can study in the computer lab. Did the teacher force you to buy them?” Teacher Mao was furious.

Although we live in an era where everyone has a computer, some students from impoverished families don't have laptops or even smartphones. The school has set up a computer lab specifically for these special circumstances, and it's free. As long as students are willing to learn, they can go to the computer lab to study. Although it's a bit inconvenient, it saves them money.

"What brand of computer did you buy? It costs over 160,000?" Fang Tongtong sneered.

When she was in college, her monthly living expenses were 3,000 yuan. She had enough to eat and drink, and could even travel with her classmates. She lived a very good life and even had some left over each month. He Xiaohong has spent more than 160,000 yuan since the start of the semester. Even if it were a year, that would still be more than 10,000 yuan a month.

Does this person think they're a rich kid?

He Xiaohong lowered her head and remained silent. Teacher Mao angrily pushed her and shouted, "Are you deaf? I'm asking you a question, so speak up!"

"……fruit……"

He Xiaohong spoke vaguely, but it was clear that it was a certain fruit brand. It was expensive, and ordinary working-class families would definitely not buy this brand. Even Fang Tongtong didn't buy it, not because she didn't have the money, but because she wanted to support domestic products.

"You claimed to others that your parents were in business and that your family was well-off. To satisfy your vanity, you tried every means to cheat people out of money, even using your own father as a front. Didn't you ever think that this kind of deception would be exposed sooner or later?" Shi Xiaobao questioned.

He Xiaohong shook her head, crying. Of course she had thought about it, but there was no going back.

Once you tell one lie, you need countless more to cover it up. After telling so many lies, she starts to believe them herself.

When she was in high school, her grades were quite good, ranking in the top fifty of her grade. Her teachers said she had a good chance of getting into a top university, and she was confident in herself. However, after a year of high school, He Xiaohong was dazzled by the prosperity of the county town.

He Xiaohong, who grew up in a poor mountain village, had never seen tall buildings or supermarkets. Although it was just a small, not very prosperous county town, it still fascinated her, and her previous idea of ​​changing her fate through education gradually changed.

She was beautiful and had a great figure, but her style was too unfashionable. However, even though she dressed plainly, it couldn't hide her natural beauty. Many boys at school pursued her, writing her love letters, sending her flowers, snacks, and taking her to the movies...

The bittersweet feelings made He Xiaohong completely lose interest in studying. She only thought about dressing up and dating every day. The more fun she had, the worse her grades became, getting worse and worse each time.
