Chapter 13: Destroying You (7)
Such a big thing happened, and the Tao family's parents still asked Tao Zhizhi to go to school the next day. With-Dream- . lā
"It's not easy for you to study in the second daughter's middle school, what's going on at home, unless your mother and I die, you have to go to school." Mr. Tao looked confused. When his son died, he couldn't really kill the murderer of his son to avenge it, although he shouted every day to lose money, but after all, he was his own daughter, and he couldn't die a son and another daughter. Now, all the hope of this family is in the eldest daughter, and in the future, she will marry a rich family who will take the normal exam without spending money, and she will count on the eldest daughter to turn over in this life.
Tao Zhizhi walked on the road, her mother didn't make breakfast in the morning, and she was reluctant to buy one, although she had to vomit when she ate vegetable porridge every day, she could see the soybean milk tumbling in the cauldron, the fried fragrant and golden fried dough sticks dripping oil, and the thought of her dead brother, her sister with a vegetable-colored face, and her unkempt face crying and wailing about her miserable mother, she pinched the eight yuan in her pocket, sniffed, and walked over from the stall.
"Outside the nickname, looking for beauties in the garbage heap, scoops, looking at talented women and beauties turned out to be from humble backgrounds......"
The cries of the newsboys rang out.
Tao Zhizhi thought: Looking for beauty in the garbage heap, which reporter is so damaged, the news title he wrote is enough to spoil people.
When he arrived at the school gate, Tao Zhizhi saw a few classmates holding newspapers in their hands, standing there talking lively. This is a new thing, those classmates are usually reserved young ladies, and there is no reason to stand at the gate and gossip.
Seeing Tao Zhizhi approaching, some classmates smiled, pointed at her and whispered something, and some glanced at her, raised their chins and straightened their waists and walked towards the campus, looking at her with a look full of disdain.
Tao Zhizhi is a sensitive child, and immediately realized that they couldn't be speaking ill of me, right?
But she endured the doubts and uneasiness in her heart, straightened her back and walked towards the classroom.
When I arrived at my class, I heard a buzzing sound in the class across the hallway. What's wrong with this, these eldest ladies weren't so unruly in the past.
As soon as she walked to the door, she heard Li Nan say in a weird manner: "Ah, the beauty in the garbage heap is here." ”
Tao Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, and before he understood what she meant, he listened to a burst of laughter, and someone shook the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "If it were usual, I might still think that these tabloid reporters are not talking nonsense, but now I see that you are confused, but I believe it, we people, who don't read the newspaper for breakfast, why don't you know anything?" ”
Tao Zhizhi's mind buzzed, and she knew that something must have happened! Things related to themselves, today's newspaper, what are they shouting when passing by the newsboy: Beauty in the garbage heap, yes, this is it, beauty in the garbage heap!
Tao Zhizhi also tried to calm himself: "What are you talking about? There was something going on in my house yesterday, I didn't see the newspaper when I got up early in the morning, is there any news? ”
She looked breezy and calm.
Li Nan smiled: "You are really good at acting, it turns out that for more than a year, you have been deceiving everyone, and you also said that your father is a student in the United States, but in fact, he is a bank clerk." ”
"That's right, the family is poor to death, and I couldn't get eight yuan yesterday, and I said that my family education was strict, and I laughed to death. If you don't have money, you say you don't have money, it's vain. ”
Some classmates covered their mouths and laughed.
"You ......"
Tao Zhizhi could only feel that the blood all over his body rushed to his head, his face was flushed, and he pointed at them and asked, "Why do you say that about me?" ”
"With this newspaper." Lin Yan always came over, proudly slapped a newspaper on her desk, and then squinted at Tao Zhizhi, "Do you want me to read it to you, Tao Da Beauty." ”
The word beauty, she bit very hard, the classmates laughed, and some people held their stomachs and laughed: "Oops, I can't laugh anymore, my stomach hurts, this reporter is really amazing, looking for a beauty in the garbage heap, this topic is too exquisite!" ”
Tao Zhizhi's heart was beating wildly, she guessed that today's newspaper must be written about herself, but how could an ordinary girl like herself provoke reporters?
She tried to calm herself, picked up the newspaper and read it little by little, and when she saw half of it, her whole heart gradually sank, this reporter ...... It's so vicious, is he going to trample himself to death completely?
On the news, it is written that one of the two daughters surnamed Tao is a classmate, born in poverty, his father is a small clerk in the bank, he copies and writes every day, he has no future, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, she is a free student in the exam, but this person is quite hard-working, he has very good grades in the second daughter, and his appearance is also good, he is a beauty found in the garbage heap, and he will definitely be able to fish for a Kaizi Yunyun in the future.
Looking at this news, Tao Zhizhi's brain is running at high speed, and now the students in the school think that Miss Tao in this report is himself, what he wrote is really right, all right, if he makes a statement in the newspaper that it is not himself, which angers the reporter, if he intensifies and continues to investigate himself, it will be troublesome. Just yesterday, there was a big case in my family.
Thinking of this, she let out a long breath and looked at Lin Yan with a smile: "Thank you Lin Yan, it turns out that these reporters are so idle and panicked, and they actually care about a small role like me." ”
Lin Yan covered her mouth and smiled: "Yo, you admit it?" Admitting that you've been lying and bragging? ”
Tao Zhizhi nodded: "I admit that I am very vain and have deceived everyone in the past, I'm sorry." As she spoke, she bowed deeply to her classmates.
For a moment, there was silence in the classroom, and the classmates who were waiting to laugh at her were stunned, they were ready to say countless sarcastic words, ready to laugh at Tao Zhizhi, but now, with a sincere face, she bowed her head and apologized? How so?
"If you can really act, an understatement is enough?" Lin Yan sneered.
"That's right, you are so scheming, how can you continue to study among us, and we will help you count the money when we are sold by you in the future." Li Nan deliberately mobilized the emotions of the onlookers on the side.
"I didn't hurt anyone, I admit that I am vain, but I definitely don't admit that I have the intention to harm anyone, we are all equal, even if you are rich and powerful, I have never thought of relying on you for anything, I just want to rely on my own efforts, sitting in the same classroom with you to study, yes, I am poor, then I have lost the right to breathe the same air as you?"
After Tao Zhizhi finished speaking, he took out eight yuan from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yan: "This is the umbrella money that will pay you for it." Where did I get the money? ”
Tao Zhizhi looked around at the classmates, and all the girls looked at her with wide eyes, expecting her answer.
"That's because I sent the coat I wore yesterday to the pawnshop. The coat was not picked up, it was not stolen, it was given to me by a kind young lady. Now this sweater on me, as everyone knows, is what I wear all the time, this is what my mother knitted for me, she knitted it by herself, she can't give me beautiful clothes and skirts, but she will save a month's breakfast money and knit me a warm sweater, I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of this. If you think this is my sin, then be at your mercy. ”
She smiled at everyone and sat down in her place, her face calm, as if nothing had happened.
