Chapter 10: Destroying You (4)
"I'm really so poor now, my tutor has always been like this, I pay attention to cultivating the spirit of independence, my pocket money is limited, and if I spend it, I will spend it."
Tao Zhizhi said sonorously and forcefully, and finally added: "Don't worry, I will compensate you." ”
She pretended to be calm on the surface, but she was roaring inside: the teacher will not give herself a broken umbrella, and this umbrella is obviously cut, only twins in the family will do this kind of thing, go home and see how I clean them up, it's too much, eight yuan! I can buy more than 100 catties of rice, there is so much rice, the whole family can eat disgusting porridge, and you can eat all-you-can-eat white rice every day.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I didn't expect your family to be so strict, it's very admirable." She decided to disgust Tao Zhizhi again, pointed to the umbrella and said, "Since you lost me money, then this umbrella is yours, you can go home and repair it, it can still be used." ”
Tao Zhizhi just has some vanity, who in the world is not vain? She has been deeply affected by the poor life since she was a child, and the concepts of making the best use of things and not wasting things have long been deeply rooted in her heart, so she took the umbrella without thinking about it, nodded and said: "This umbrella is estimated to have been damaged by my sister, this is also physical evidence, I will settle accounts with them when I go home." She also gave herself a reason.
"yes, it's physical evidence." Lin Yan and Li Nan looked at each other and smiled, their smiles meaningful.
Before school, Tao Zhizhi was called to the office by the director of teaching.
"Didn't you tell you to return your umbrella? Why can't I listen well in class? How many times have I said, Tao Zhizhi, you are different from others, you will be expelled from school once your grades come down, our school has done its best to you, all your files are confidential, what do you want? ”
The teacher was about to grit her teeth, Tao Zhizhi was her favorite student, she saw her shadow in this student, and she couldn't allow this child to go downhill.
"Why don't you understand the teacher's painstaking work? I've been observing outside the classroom for a long time, and your mind is not on studying at all. ”
Tao Zhizhi wanted to explain it to the teacher, but the dean's words were too harsh, and she felt very aggrieved and couldn't accept the teacher's accusation.
She said angrily: "If my grades are not good and I don't have enough free student conditions, I am willing to drop out." It's just that I'm still in school now, I'm no different from others, even if I'm a free student, that's my own hard work, teacher, please don't always say that I'm different from others, everyone is the same as classmates. She finished word by word. The teacher's face turned blue with anger: "Okay, good, you have sharp teeth, you will quibble with the teacher." ”
After all, Tao Zhizhi was only seventeen years old, precocious and sensitive with her own self-esteem, she didn't want to explain more to the teacher, so she lowered her head and didn't speak.
The teaching director sighed and waved his hand and said, "You go out, reflect on it, Tao Zhizhi, the teacher sincerely hopes that you can have a good future, because the teacher also came out of the bottom, and I know what you have suffered." ”
Tao Zhizhi lowered his head and forced himself not to cry, not to cry, if she cried and her eyes were red, her classmates would definitely guess all kinds of things, so she didn't want to do what they wanted.
In her heart, they are not classmates but competitors, because they have money to study, and they must work hard to defeat each of them in order to win the opportunity to study.
At the end of school at noon. Tao Zhizhi was wearing that tweed coat, she felt so warm and comfortable, and she really had to thank that young lady.
Before she could enter the door, she heard a cry from the house, it was her mother's voice, Tao Zhizhi was stunned for a moment: Why did you start making trouble again?
She thought it was her father, Mr. Tao, who was angry at the bank and went home to find Mrs. Tao to vent. Mrs. Tao usually loves face very much, and she will not cry like this no matter how much she has been wronged in the past, so that the neighbors can hear it., how can it be like this today?
She pushed the door open and went in to see her brother lying on the table, the twins huddled together with their heads bowed and not knowing what to think, and their mother, Mrs. Tao, standing at the table crying and banging her hands on the table.
"Mom, what's going on?"
Tao Zhizhi was frightened, walked to the table and saw that the little brother had his eyes closed, and there was still a little blood on the corner of his mouth, she touched the child, and her hand curled up in an instant, because the child's face was cold, and he was dead.
"Your brother, your brother...... He's dead. How can I live, my son? ”
Mrs. Tao cried and cried, beating her chest.
How could a good brother die?
"What's the matter, my brother was fine when I was in school." Tao Zhizhi asked.
Mrs. Tao suddenly remembered something, turned around, her eyes were swollen and red, and she shouted to the twins viciously: "Say, what did you do to your brother at home?" "My brother is playing in bed, and we are watching."
The twins blinked with big eyes, you look at me, I look at you, both of them look innocent.
Tao Zhizhi suddenly thought of the umbrella, and also grabbed the arm of one of the twins and asked, "Did you do something to your brother?" ”
"Why us, isn't it my sister?" The other sister next to her suddenly pointed at Tao Zhizhi and said.
"Me?" Tao Zhizhi didn't know what his sister meant.
I saw that the seven-year-old sister reached out and tugged at the sleeve of the tweed coat: "Is this dress really given to my sister by someone else?" ”
"What nonsense do you want to talk about, what does this have to do with the coat?" Thinking of the umbrella that was cut by an unknown sister, Tao Zhizhi broke free of his sister's hand.
The younger sister looked into her eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Mom told the story of changing lives, and the monsters in that story were hidden in their clothes. ”
Of course, Tao Zhizhi has also heard this story. It is said that the spirits will hide in people's clothes or hair and nails, and Mrs. Tao gave the conclusion at that time that you should not take advantage of it, maybe someone else is tempting you with something and asking for your life.
Mrs. Tao suddenly came to her senses, and pounced on Tao Zhizhi and beaten: "Dead girl, you lose money, say, where did this clothes come from, you hurt my brother." ”
Tao Zhizhi was stunned: "Mom, what age, you still believe in those superstitious things, our teacher said that those are superstitious thoughts, and you can't believe them." ”
"Mom, this is called borrowing life, right? My brother's life was borrowed by someone else. Otherwise, why did the eldest sister get an overcoat, and the younger brother would have died. The other twin understood.
Mrs. Tao had lost her mind, rushed into the kitchen and took out a broom, and hit Tao Zhizhi without brainlessness.
Tao Zhizhi was beaten, biting her lip tightly and resolutely not crying, she knew that Mrs. Tao was in a hurry to attack her heart like this, what a borrowed life, what a ridiculous thing, how could there be such a thing.
She lowered her head, and suddenly saw the twins hiding in the corner staring at her with wide eyes, and a hint of schadenfreude slipped through those eyes that were as bright as water.
