She has no friends, no parents, and her only brother is busy making money to keep her alive.

After brushing her teeth, Tang Huan returned to her room, opened the wardrobe, and tiptoed to pull out a small iron box from the top shelf of the wardrobe. Inside the iron box was a red hand-sewn bag, which contained all her belongings.

The total amount was 735 yuan. When they got married, Meng Zeyu gave the original body 500 yuan as a betrothal gift, and the original body saved more than 200 yuan herself.

Tang Huan has hardly spent any money since she came here. All household expenses are covered by her parents-in-law, who sometimes even give her money.

It’s ok to just eat and drink for free, but we can’t ask them to help with tuition.

Tang Huan took out a ten-yuan note and put it in his pocket, thinking about paying the tuition for the afternoon classes at school.

Xing Cui didn't expect Meng Zeyan to be so efficient, even better than her husband, and she praised him several times whenever she got the chance.

After praising her son, she ran over to instruct Tang Huan, standing at her doorway and saying, "Xiao Huan, have you packed your schoolbag? Also, your homework books and pens."

Tang Huan was sorting his textbooks and shook his head. "I'll sort them out first and buy them later."

"Mom will go with you and help you figure out what you need." Xing Cui couldn't help but want to worry more. In her eyes, Tang Huan was too well-behaved. He was small and thin, with a quiet personality and seemed to have no temper.

Tang Huan raised his eyes and smiled at his mother-in-law, saying obediently, "Okay, thank you, Mom."

"What's there to thank me for?" Xing Cui felt her heart soften at Tang Huan's smile. This child was too well-behaved. "Come and call me when you're done."

"Um."

Tang Huan piled all the textbooks together and counted them to make sure nothing was missing. He then took out five dollars from the cabinet to buy a schoolbag, paper, and pen.

She took the money and went to the main house to call her mother-in-law. She walked into the house as usual and saw Meng Zeyan sitting on the sofa watching TV. She unconsciously took a step back and left the house.

When I reacted, she was already standing outside the door...

Meng Zeyan looked up at her, his usual smile gone, and his eyes held an invisible sense of oppression.

Tang Huan turned around and quickly walked down the stairs. Standing under the grape trellis, he whispered into the house, "Mom, I'm fine."

Meng Zeyan frowned slightly. Is he that scary?

Comrade Xing Cui didn't seem to hear her shout. Meng Zeyan stood up and walked over to knock on the door. "Mom, your sister-in-law is looking for you."

"Coming~" Xing Cui replied from inside the house.

Hearing her words, Meng Zeyan walked back and sat back on the sofa and continued watching TV.

Tang Huan didn't hear her mother-in-law's response, and didn't know whether she heard him or not. She wanted to shout again, but her uncle was watching TV, which seemed inappropriate.

I don't have the courage to go in.

Why don't you just sit here and wait? Mother-in-law will eventually come out.

Within two minutes, the mother-in-law walked out of the room. Tang Huan stood up and said to her, "Mom, I'm done packing. Shall we go?"

"Let's go!" Xing Cui also finished packing, and the two of them walked outside.

If you want to buy school bags and stationery, you have to go to the department store, which is a bit far and takes more than ten minutes by bus.

Two cents per person, Xing Cui bought a ticket as soon as she got on the bus, so Tang Huan didn't get a chance.

There were empty seats on the bus, but they were not together. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat separately, one in front and one in the back.

Xing Cuijian started chatting, and soon she started chatting with the woman next to her. Tang Huan was also accompanied by a woman who looked a little pale, holding her stomach with her hands as if she was in some pain.

Tang Huan glanced at her, wanting to ask if she was feeling unwell. He tried to open his mouth, but couldn't.

My fingers unconsciously scratched the stool I was sitting on. I finally mustered up the courage to ask the female comrade if she needed help, but the female comrade got off the bus at her stop and left.

After a while, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also arrived at the bus stop, which was next to the department store.
