56. The world of injustice
Hervin took out his golden pocket watch and looked at it, confirming the time.
Yvette is coming to herself.
In the short meeting, Hervin can see her character somewhat, she is not the kind of person who is willing to wait.
When she misunderstands that she has emotional problems with Enid, she will definitely test herself with feelings as the starting point.
With her and Mayo's feelings.
Tanya, dressed as a maid, pushed the door open a crack:
"Sir, a lady who calls herself Yvette has come to visit. ”
Hewen nodded:
"Well, prepare refreshments to entertain guests. ”
Yvette stuck her head through the crack in the door and waved her hand with a smile on her face:
"Hello, Mr. Wright. ”
Yvette walked into the room, crossed her hand in front of her lower abdomen, and bowed very ladylikely:
"We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this sudden visit. ”
Hervin smiled and guided:
"It's okay, I'll be hospitable to Enid's friends, said Enid, didn't she come with you?"
Yvette felt a little proud in her heart, and sure enough, there was something wrong with him and Enid.
Yvette sat across from Hervin:
"I've heard from Enid that you're very mature and know a lot of things, so I'd like to ask you about your feelings. ”
Herwin showed a look of surprise:
"Is it a complicated relationship between you and Mayo? ”
Yvette sighed:
"After all these years, he is still unmoved by me, and I have tried my best to figure out what he thinks, but I still don't know what type of person he likes. ”
Herwin asked:
"Is he leaving?"
Yvette shook her head:
"No, he never gave me a glimmer of hope, rejected me explicitly, and often deliberately avoided me, but I didn't rely on him to give me hope. ”
Hervin asked curiously:
"I never understand, why did you hold on for so long and not give up?"
Yvette smiled playfully:
"It's a girl's little secret. ”
Hewen asked without a trace:
"Did you see Mayo yesterday?"
Yvette shook her head helplessly:
"His people wouldn't let me into his room. ”
Hervin says:
"So you're leaving?"
Yvette shows her nose and lifts it lightly:
"Hmph, I just broke in, but Mayo wasn't inside. ”
Hervin says:
"Oh, why didn't he just say Mayo wasn't in there, instead of letting you in?"
Yvette said indifferently:
"He's annoying to me, and he's not going to see me anyway. ”
Herwin thought of other possibilities, such as the fact that the guards didn't know that Mayo wasn't there.
Herwin asked:
"Aren't you worried that he has some secrets hidden from you?"
Yvette took the snack handed over by Tanya and tasted it politely:
"Any secrets he has are his own business. ”
Herwin continued to ask:
"What if it's about feelings? He doesn't say yes to you, don't you wonder what type of person he likes?"
Yvette pouted:
"It's impossible, don't worry, he's a nerd in the relationship between men and women. ”
Herwin continued to ask:
"Didn't you find out what he had secrets? ”
Yvette gave a thoughtful look:
"When you say that, it seems a bit strange, he didn't go out much when he was a child, and when he grew up, he was ......mysterious all day long."
Yvette suddenly realized how well she and Hervin were able to share this kind of thing, and pretended that everything was normal to change the subject:
"Mr. Wright, what do you think about one-sided love?"
Yvette finally remembered that the purpose of her coming here was to test Hevin's opinion of Enid.
Hervin skilfully began to cope.
Flame & Light Elementary School.
The school was funded by the church, and although it is a little worse than other public and private primary schools, it is the only way out for poor families.
A pot-bellied middle-aged man called Benita.
"Benita, don't leave yet, come to my office. ”
Little Benita jumped up when she heard this, and followed the teacher to the office.
The girl was a little scared in her heart:
"Teacher Abbott. ”
Albert smiled lewdly:
"Benita, your family has always been poor, so you need money, right? ”
Benita bowed her head:
"Hmm. ”
Abbott shook his fat belly and let out an offensive laugh:
"Haha, little Benita, you told me about this before, how do you feel?"
Benita didn't know what to say.
Albert lowered his head and leaned closer to the little girl:
"Well, I've already agreed with the canteen, if you will, that you will accompany the canteen aunts to distribute breakfast and lunch, and you will be able to get 30p a week. ”
Of the 30 pence, 10 pence was quietly stuffed into the canteen by Abbott himself.
Benita was scared because she didn't know how to talk to her teacher, there were already people willing to fund her living expenses and tuition, and the family's conditions had improved a lot.
The little girl squeezed out the dry words:
"I'm sorry. ”
Abbott's face turned a little worse:
"Don't you want to?
"Do you want to work outside the school again, I told your sister and you, your focus now should be on studying, and now taking advantage of this good policy, your sister can afford you to finish high school.
"With your talent, you will definitely be able to get into a good university, and at that time you can also work and study, and when you come out of college, you can find a stable job, so as to bring real and long-term happiness to your family. ”
Albert said earnestly:
"Don't live up to your sister's hard work, if you give up now......"
Benita whispered:
"No, Mr. Abbott. ”
Abbott looked at her suspiciously:
"Huh?"
Benita explains:
"The owner of the house where my sister works is willing to provide for me to go to college, including living expenses, I can't accept this opportunity, you should leave it to other students. ”
Abbott burst out laughing:
"Hahaha, great, you deserve it, Benita, the goddess finally sees your efforts. ”
It wasn't the goddess who gave her money to study, it was the merchant, but even more so because of her sister, but she didn't say it.
Abbott is a devout believer, and Abbott and his sister are a rare light in Benita's life.
Abbott touched Benita's head fiercely:
"Come on, you must be admitted to a good university. ”
The girl nodded heavily:
"Hmm. ”
Benita set out on her way home.
The girl was walking home when several boys about her size ran up and surrounded her.
The boy at the head shouted:
"Look, it's Benita, who doesn't have a mother, and her sister is a junior for the aristocratic lord, so that she can afford to read, hahahaha. ”
The rest of the boys laughed too.
Benita walked forward with her head down.
They bully themselves just because I have good grades in school, and I can get out of this life, which they can't.
They only dare to bully me who can't beat them, I just don't want to ignore it......
The boy picked up a husk from the ground and threw it straight at Benita's head.
The girl silently said nothing, clenching her fists.
"Benita, who loves to learn, her sister is someone else's mistress, and her parents don't want it. The boy shouted triumphantly.
The boy thinks he is the boss of his class, and at the beginning of the school year, only Benita dares to rebel against him.
After he called a few friends and beat her, the girl behaved a lot, but he didn't intend to let her go, the boy wanted to make everyone who resisted him regret it, and the boy wanted to take revenge on this unfair world.
The garbage and stones hit Benita's body, and she ran away as if she dared to run.
The girl has to hurry home, and if she doesn't clean up, her sister will find out that something is wrong.
This unjust world.
