Chapter 393 The Coward's Black Moonlight Witch 24
Class 4 of Grade 1 is in the innermost classroom on the third floor. The morning sunlight shines through the windows and fills every corner of the classroom.
The students gathered in groups of three or five, some standing and some sitting. Their laughter and joy filled the air, filled with the breath of youth and infinite vitality.
However, when a young woman walked into the classroom, the originally noisy classroom suddenly became silent.
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first. My name is Chen Lanru, and I'm your homeroom teacher. For the next three years, I'll be your companion as you grow together."
Shen Xinran frowned slightly, because she recognized Chen Lanru as the young woman who came to He Baifeng to ask questions that day.
She was able to recognize it at a glance, not because her memory had improved, but because the black and red gas behind Chen Lanru was too conspicuous to be ignored.
While Chen Lanru was speaking, Shen Xinran's eyes were fixed on her back.
The moment Chu Bojian saw Chen Lanru, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and his body began to tremble.
Oh my god, what kind of monster is that behind the head teacher!
Chu Bojian looked at Shen Xinran, intending to seek Shen Xinran's protection, but Shen Xinran was still staring at the monster intently.
This made him sigh: He is really talented and brave, but could he please take care of the mood of this little loser first?
After observing for a whole class, Shen Xinran finally saw clearly the black energy behind Chen Lanru.
It was made up of many children's faces, some of which were already formed, while others were just vague outlines.
The most eye-catching one was the face of a three-year-old girl. When she noticed Shen Xinran's gaze, she actually turned around and smiled at Shen Xinran.
Chen Lanru also noticed Shen Xinran's gaze. She glanced at Shen Xinran and frowned slightly. After class, she said directly to Shen Xinran: "Student Tan Shi, come with me."
Shen Xinran followed Chen Lanru to the office, put his hands behind his back, and stood in front of Chen Lanru.
Chen Lanru asked in a deep voice, "Teacher Chen has already understood your basic situation. I want to know why you have been staring at me."
Shen Xinran's expression was indifferent, "Because there is something behind you."
Chen Lanru subconsciously looked behind her and asked, "What is that?"
Shen Xinran said calmly: "You can't see."
Chen Lanru seemed to realize something, her face darkening. "Tan Shi, I know your grandmother is a witch, and this may have had a certain impact on your worldview. But I also want to make it clear to you that there are no ghosts in this world."
Shen Xinran stared into Chen Lanru's eyes and did not answer.
Chen Lanru just thought that Shen Xinran had already realized her mistake. Thinking of Shen Xinran's special situation, she sighed, "Okay, go back to the classroom. If you have any questions, you can come to the teacher."
As soon as the school bell rang at noon, Chu Bojian grabbed Shen Xinran's hand and ran out of the school.
God knows how he got through the morning; every second felt like dancing on the tip of a needle.
As soon as they stepped into Nongmin Street, they met Huang Xiuqing.
Huang Xiuqing greeted them kindly, "Xiao Chu, Niuniu, your grandmother hasn't come back yet, so I want you to come to my house for lunch."
Chu Bojian nodded gratefully, "Okay, thank you, Granny Huang."
Chen Xinran's gaze crossed the street and headed across. Unlike the bustle of Farmers' Street, across the street was a newly built residential complex, considered a wealthy community in this county town.
At the entrance of the community, Chen Lanru was arm in arm with a young man. The two were talking and laughing, behaving intimately.
Huang Xiuqing followed Shen Xinran's gaze and asked curiously, "Why, do you know that person?"
Chu Bojian turned around and saw the monster behind Chen Lanru. He shrank back in fear and could only smile stiffly, "That's our class teacher."
Huang Xiuqing nodded. "Her father works at the municipal government. Her family background is quite good, but she has such a wicked mother-in-law."
Chu Bojian forgot his fear when he heard the gossip and asked curiously, "Why? Is her mother-in-law treating her badly?"
Huang Xiuqing nodded. "Yes, her mother-in-law's name is Jia Wenxiu. She used to live on Nongmin Street. She would often scold her daughter-in-law, saying she was a hen that couldn't lay eggs and would end her family lineage."
Chu Bojian frowned and asked, "Hasn't Teacher Chen ever given birth to a child?"
Huang Xiuqing chuckled. "I think I had a daughter before, but she fell to her death before she was three. Then she got pregnant several times, but she didn't give birth. I think this is retribution."
Chu Bojian asked, "What do you mean?"
Huang Xiuqing replied, "After graduating from university, Jia Wenxiu's son went to work at the tax bureau. Jia Wenxiu always thought her son was promising and looked down upon us. But everyone knows that her son's job at the tax bureau was found by her daughter-in-law's family. Logically, since her daughter-in-law's family is so well-off, she should treat them better, but she refuses..."
Jia Wenxiu said a lot later, but Shen Xinran didn't hear a word because her attention was all on her daughter who fell to her death at the age of three.
She now suspected that the three-year-old daughter was the ghost behind Chen Lanru, and those shapeless faces were the aborted children!
Chen Lanru and her husband walked home hand in hand. As soon as they opened the door, Jia Wenxiu's voice came from the kitchen, "Guanqing is back. Mom made you your favorite stir-fried pork."
Jia Wenxiu poked her head out of the kitchen. When she saw Chen Lanru, her smile instantly disappeared. "Lanru is back too. You're so lucky. You have a ready-made meal when you come back."
Zheng Guanqing quickly smoothed things over and said with a smile, "Mom, Lan Ru and I are both at work, so we can only trouble you to do it for us."
Jia Wenxiu persisted, "What daughter-in-law is like her? She only cares about what's ready. Do I owe her for what I do every day?"
Chen Lanru seemed to have gotten used to Jia Wenxiu's complaints. She changed her shoes without saying a word.
Zheng Guanqing could only change the subject: "Mom, I'm hungry, let's eat first."
"Okay, I'll bring the dishes out right away." Jia Wenxiu's face instantly filled with smiles, and she returned to the kitchen and brought the prepared dishes to the table.
But the moment Chen Lanru saw the dishes, she frowned, because all three dishes on the table were cooked with chili peppers.
Seeing this, Zheng Guanqing said in a deep voice, "Mom, didn't I tell you that Lanru can't eat spicy food? Why do you put chili peppers in every dish?"
Jia Wenxiu disagreed and snorted coldly, "I made a mistake in cooking. If you can't eat spicy food, just rinse it with water!"
Chen Lanru lowered her head, an indescribable feeling of grievance surged in her heart, and her eyes turned red.
Zheng Guanqing took advantage of Jia Wenxiu's absence in the kitchen to hold Chen Lanru's hand and whispered, "If you don't like it, eat less. I'll take you out for a good meal later."
Chen Lanru's mood finally improved a little. She and Zheng Guanqing knew each other in college. Zheng Guanqing was very good to her. The only drawback was that Zheng Guanqing's mother was a little unreasonable.
But there is nothing perfect in this world. As long as Zheng Guanqing treats her well, he is worthy of her entrusting her life to him.
Thinking of this, Chen Lanru raised her head and slowly smiled at Zheng Guanqing.
