Chapter 463 Desperate Student (1)
The quiet morning self-study began. The head teacher went to the grade office for a meeting as usual. The students in the classroom were reading or doing exercises with their books in hand as usual.
"I lost my money. Has anyone seen it? I lost my lunch money." The girl suddenly shouted anxiously, "Has anyone seen my 100 yuan? My mother just gave it to me when she went out this morning. I put it in the interlayer of my schoolbag."
"100 yuan? So much? Where did you lose it?" The girl at the back desk immediately helped to find it.
This kind of thing suddenly happened in a classroom that had never lost money before, causing a big commotion. Many students simply gathered around to help her find it. Among all the anxious people, Tangyuan was the most special.
Tangyuan was the deskmate of the girl who lost the money, Lifen, but she was not nervous at all when her deskmate lost the money, which made many students wonder if she had secretly taken the money.
Everyone was talking about it.
"Who do you think is the most suspicious in this matter?"
"Who else could it be? It must be the one who is closest to Fenfen. The one who is close to the water gets the moon first, no, the one who gets the hand first."
"It can't be her! She usually sits in her seat and doesn't talk."
"The dog that bites doesn't bark!"
...
"The thief who stole the money, just take the money out quietly, we won't tell the head teacher, and just pretend that this thing didn't happen." The class monitor's eyes quickly swept across the faces of everyone in the classroom and then fell on her for a long time. Anyone could tell who the "thief" the class monitor was talking about was.
Tangyuan lowered her head and continued to write and draw on the notebook, pretending not to hear her implication. She didn't want to cause trouble, and she didn't want these things to bother her.
"Tangyuan, get up, let's find your seat." The class study committee member came over and put his hand on her shoulder.
Tangyuan's body shook unconsciously, biting her lip and didn't say anything.
"Get up." The study committee member pulled her away from her seat. She was so small that she didn't look so strong.
Tangyuan stood aside with her notebook and pen, feeling a bit helpless. She knew that she was not good-looking and her grades were not good enough, so she had little presence in the class and did not have a good impression from the teacher. However, being suspected of stealing money in public made her feel very bad.
"Move aside, let us find it for Fenfen." The other female classmates who were on good terms with the study committee member all surrounded her and pushed her aside.
"I didn't do it." She said softly. But no one heard it.
The study committee member dragged her schoolbag out of the desk and threw it on her. She lowered her head and did not catch it. The open schoolbag fell heavily to the ground, and the milk in the glass bottle splashed all over the floor. Her shoes, the only pair of shoes she had just washed, were dirty again. She would be scolded again when she got home.
"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean it. I didn't know you had the habit of drinking bottled milk in the morning." The study committee member pouted and apologized to her, but it seemed more like she was pretending to be cute. Tangyuan lowered her head and didn't answer her, but continued to stare at her shoes, imagining the possible scolding from her mother. In the eyes of the boys watching nearby, she felt that she had a weird personality.
"I've already apologized to you, why are you still so arrogant?" A boy stood up to speak for the study committee member.
Tangyuan ignored him, but picked up the broken glass bottle and threw it into the trash can. None of them felt sorry for her, and they all hoped that the thief was her, so they could find money from her bag.
The class monitor also stood up to smooth things over, "Lily, go buy Tangyuan a bottle of milk to compensate her later."
The study committee member nodded unhappily and continued to search her desk, but found nothing in the desk.
"How could it be gone? I put my schoolbag in the desk when I came today, and I didn't move it at all." Li Fen muttered to herself, and was a little unbelievable. In her heart, she was also the one who doubted her deskmate Tangyuan the most.
She didn't really want to be Tangyuan's deskmate because Tangyuan was not good-looking, her grades were not good enough, and she was often bullied. If it weren't for the class teacher's lottery for seats, she would not want to sit next to Tangyuan.
Although she didn't like Tangyuan very much, she would pretend not to see it when others bullied Tangyuan instead of making things worse. It was only when she was very annoyed that she would bully the other person a little, but it was limited to a little prank - pressing her schoolbag on her arm to pack her homework. Tangyuan might have been moved by such a "good deskmate" and never resisted her. But if Tangyuan stole her money, it would be too unhuman. But this time, she didn't find money in Tangyuan's desk, and her mood suddenly became complicated again.
"There's no money in the desk, is there any in the schoolbag?" Someone in the class asked.
"Check." The monitor moved quickly and poured everything in it onto Tangyuan's own desk. The contents of the schoolbag were all visible, only books, a few pens, and keys. She touched the interlayers of the schoolbag one by one, and there was nothing else. She shook her head at everyone.
"I don't believe it. I'm going to take her to the girls' bathroom. The money must be with her." The study committee member grabbed Tangyuan, and the other female classmates squeezed up and grabbed her arms. Her struggle was minimal, and everyone pretended not to see it.
The bathroom was next to the classroom, and a group of people pushed her over.
"Take off your clothes! Do you want to take them off yourself, or do we take them off for you!" As soon as she arrived at the door of the girls' dormitory, the girls began to collectively attack her and pushed her to the innermost corner step by step.
A large group of people blocked Tangyuan's way, and boys would occasionally peek in from the door of the bathroom. She was squeezed in the corner of the bathroom and could see the snowflakes slowly falling outside through the gap in the wall. She wanted to keep her head down to avoid it, but the others did not let her go, and directly started to pull her red down jacket.
The study committee member was the first to pull off her coat, and when they saw the holes in her coat, a group of girls burst into laughter.
"Tangyuan, is your family so poor that you don't even have a good piece of clothing? Do you want us to donate some clothes for you?! Hahahaha..."
Tangyuan's eyes were red for the first time since she was suspected of being a thief.
She didn't steal her deskmate Li Fen's money at all, but the holes in her clothes exposed to everyone ruthlessly revealed the fact that no one cared about her. Her parents had been arguing badly recently, and she was particularly afraid that if they all knew that her parents were about to divorce, she would soon become a homeless child.
The body search was over quickly. The one hundred yuan was not on her. It seemed that everyone was a little disappointed. Tangyuan herself was relieved.
