Chapter 466: Desperate Student (4)
Obviously, she was still too naive. How could the head teacher let her off so easily?
"Donating some money to the elderly on the street is something anyone can do! Why do you think she wouldn't steal her deskmate's money just because of this? I'm even more suspicious of her. Her family doesn't give her much living expenses, and she still donates money to others. What does she do when she runs out of money? Did she just steal it?"
Tangyuan was very sad to hear the head teacher's unreasonable words. She thought the head teacher didn't have such a big prejudice against her, but she didn't expect that the head teacher really looked down on her.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Her hand was suddenly wrapped in a warm and delicate palm. She looked down at the palm that was wrapped around her hand, her eyes were hot, and tears fell on the ground in front of her.
She had always longed for someone to protect her, to maintain her pitiful self-esteem, to prevent her from being bullied or disturbed, to prevent her from finding support when she encountered difficulties, to prevent her from feeling alone and without hope, and to prevent her from feeling that life was empty and worthless. But her parents who gave birth to her didn't do these things, how could she dare to expect others to do the same? But now, what she had always longed for seemed to have come true.
"What do you think, Teacher Hua?" The words of the head teacher sounded provocative to Tangyuan.
"I know that no matter what others say, you will stick to your own ideas. Then, I will use my own personality to guarantee it. I guarantee that Tangyuan will not do such a thing."
Tangyuan never thought that Teacher Hua would use her own personality to guarantee her honor. How could she, Tangyuan, be so worthy! She opened her mouth to say something, but tears fell first.
She wanted to reach out to wipe her tears, but her hand suddenly tightened. She looked up, not understanding the meaning, and saw the young and beautiful art teacher staring at her deeply with her gentle and clear eyes. She said, "I don't know why, but I liked this child the first time I saw her. I have been drawing since elementary school, and I follow the realistic approach, which requires the most from the appearance of people. I intuitively feel that this child is gentle and clean. A child like her will definitely not do such a thing."
Tangyuan never heard the word "stealing money" from her mouth from beginning to end. She was moved beyond words.
However, the head teacher heard a plea for mercy from the new teacher's words. She just needed a step, so she went down the step. She randomly found a question, "Tangyuan, how much pocket money do you usually have?"
Tangyuan lowered her head and replied nervously, "It's not fixed, sometimes forty, sometimes fifty. My dad gives me forty, and my mom gives me fifty." She wanted to add more, but saw the head teacher waved her hand to signal her not to speak.
"That's it for today." After saying that, the head teacher walked out holding her meeting book without looking back.
She didn't want to stay in the office and listen to her colleagues' nagging about "guidance and education". In her opinion, a person's character is destined to be good from childhood. Otherwise, why did her husband subsidize his parents in his hometown for decades without spending a penny on her! Isn't it because her husband has been filial since childhood!
Tangyuan was relieved that the head teacher didn't call her parents. She didn't care whether the head teacher looked at her straight or not, but she cared about her growth, the only bond that maintained the fragile relationship between her parents. If she was really called to the school because of this matter, her parents would have divorced completely.
"Okay, go back to the classroom. Study hard and don't let this matter affect your mood." Shi Yi led her out of the classroom.
Tangyuan still lowered her head deeply, didn't speak, but stepped heavily a few times. She actually wanted to thank Teacher Hua very much, but she was afraid that her words would not sound good, so she began to struggle and hesitate again.
"Go back quickly." She heard Teacher Hua urging her to go back to the classroom again.
Then go back. Otherwise, it would be bad to make Teacher Hua worry.
She almost ran away like the wind.
"Kid, slow down." When she ran to the corner, she could still hear Teacher Hua talking behind her. She felt warm in her heart and hid in the corner. After waiting for a while, she poked her head out. Teacher Hua was still standing there looking at her.
"Don't worry about it. I'll guarantee you." Teacher Hua's voice was not loud, but she strangely heard it all clearly. This time she smiled and nodded, and said loudly: "Thank you, Teacher Hua."
Tang Yuan returned to the classroom happily. She also thought that with Teacher Hua's guarantee and the class teacher did not call her parents, the matter would be resolved.
But she was naive again.
When she came to school the next day, the news that she stole money had spread throughout the school. From the moment she entered the school gate, she felt that people around her were pointing fingers at her. At first, she could still actively suggest that she was overthinking, but when she walked into the classroom and heard the words of the study committee member comforting her deskmate Li Fen, she could no longer lie to herself.
"Don't say it, don't say it, people are coming." The person at the back desk reminded the two who were still talking.
"So what if someone is here? You can do it but you can't say it?!" The study committee member looked up at Tangyuan and walked back to his seat, as if Tangyuan was a thief who was really caught with real evidence.
Tangyuan said nothing, silently stuffed his schoolbag back into the hole of the desk, took out a book and started reading, but his mind was wandering.
Why does everyone look at me like this? Why doesn't anyone believe me? Why am I the only one who is considered a thief among so many people in the class? Why am I the one who is bullied? How long will they bully me? I really didn't steal my deskmate's money!
She lay on the table and cried loudly for the first time in grievance.
She didn't know whether the news that she stole the money spread when she was blocked in the toilet and searched, or when she was called to the dean's office, or whether it spread among the teachers.
She only knew that no one cared whether she really did it.
She only knew that she couldn't hold her head up in school for the next year.
She only knew that she really had no motivation to continue her studies.
She just knew that she really didn't want to live anymore.
Tangyuan, who had always been bullied as a sticky rice dumpling, cried in class for the first time, which naturally attracted a lot of attention. But they were not concerned about why Tangyuan was crying, but whether Tangyuan wanted to gain their sympathy. After all, stealing money is a character issue.
"It's very sad, right?" Tangyuan heard a voice whispering in her ear. It was the voice of her familiar deskmate Li Fen.
"If you don't transfer, you will suffer more in the future." A stack of tissues was stuffed forcefully under her arm.
What Tang Yuan heard was, "Li Fen is so kind, she didn't mind Tang Yuan stealing her money and leaving her without lunch."
She suddenly felt cold and shivered unconsciously.
