Chapter 12

Tang Huan pursed her lips in distress, and moved closer to Feng Sisi and whispered in her ear, “Sisi, it’s actually good to find a rich husband~”

Is Tang Huan making fun of her with the joke she told on the bus?

Feng Sisi grabbed Tang Huan’s arm, held up her English book to block their heads, and threatened her fiercely in a low voice: “If I meet a rich gay man, I will introduce him to you first and marry you off!”

Except for Tang Huan and Feng Sisi, who was also repeating a grade, the rest of the students in the classroom were all kids around 16 or 17 years old. What they said was not suitable for other students to hear.

Although he knew Sisi was just joking, Tang Huan still felt that he should tell her about his situation as some jokes were not appropriate to play on her.

The two of them huddled together, and Tang Huan whispered to her, “I have a husband.”

“!!!” The English book that covered the two of them fell onto the table with a thud. Feng Sisi looked at Tang Huan in shock. Huanhuan has a husband?

Is she married?

A head came up to the window outside the classroom. Tang Huan caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye. He quietly tugged at Feng Sisi’s sleeve, who was still in shock. He looked at the textbook and whispered to her, “The teacher is outside.”

Feng Sisi still hadn’t come to her senses, but her reaction to the word “teacher” was engraved in her subconscious actions. She held the English book in front of her eyes and her mouth moved in vain.

Even when Tang Huan was reciting, her voice was not much louder than a mosquito. Feng Sisi couldn’t hear her clearly and those who didn’t know would have thought she was chanting scriptures.

After Feng Sisi recovered from her shock, she had no intention of memorizing the words. Those English words knew her, but she didn’t know them.

She reads out words by translating them from Chinese. Don’t get me wrong, they are not the Chinese words corresponding to the words, but the Chinese translation of the pronunciation of the words.

She can read it according to the book, but she doesn’t recognize it if it is moved to another place.

I finally made it to the end of morning reading. There is a twenty-minute break between morning reading and the first class. Some students who didn’t eat breakfast can take this opportunity to go to the cafeteria to get food.

Feng Sisi pulled Tang Huan to a big tree behind the teaching building. She was extremely curious!

Seeing that there was no one around, she couldn’t wait to ask Tang Huan: “Aren’t you twenty years old? Why did you get married so early?”

Getting married just after reaching marriageable age is too hasty!

“Something happened at home.” Tang Huan didn’t want to say what it was, as she didn’t have such a strong desire to share.

It also takes courage to share your misery or happiness with others.

It could be heard that Tang Huan didn’t want to talk about those things, so Feng Sisi changed the question: “How old is your husband? Is he good to you?”

Not knowing how to answer this question, Tang Huan looked down at her feet. She was still wearing the same pair of sandals from yesterday, and the same places that rubbed her feet yesterday were still rubbing her feet today.

She knew too well the feeling of being isolated. If she told Sisi that she was a widow whose husband had passed away, would she still be friends with her?

What if this gets known to everyone…

Thinking of how she was sitting in a wheelchair and being laughed at and pointed at by her classmates behind her back, Tang Huan couldn’t even open her mouth.

Seeing Tang Huan suddenly lower her head and stop talking, Feng Sisi squatted down and looked up at her, “What’s wrong? Is he treating you badly?”

Facing Feng Sisi’s concerned eyes, Tang Huan only murmured a few words: “He’s fine.”

She is a coward, a coward who doesn’t even dare to tell the truth.

She will tell the truth after the college entrance examination. She will teach Feng Sisi English first. Even if Feng Sisi doesn’t want to be friends with her anymore, at least they will benefit from each other.

She didn’t mean to lie, she just never had any friends…

“Come on, I’ll take you to the cafeteria to buy eggs.” Feng Sisi stood up and took Tang Huan’s hand to the cafeteria.

She didn’t believe what Tang Huan said about her husband being a good person. If he was really a good person, would she be speechless for such a long time?

Her good sister might still be a poor girl being bullied by her husband at home!

It doesn’t matter! She takes care of her sister. Huanhuan is so thin, she probably didn’t eat anything this morning. The first step to taking good care of her sister is to buy her food.

Two eggs for five cents, which were the most expensive things in the cafeteria. Feng Sisi stuffed both eggs into Tang Huan’s hands, “Look how thin you are! Do you usually not have enough to eat at home?”

Holding two eggs, Tang Huan explained: “No, I usually eat a lot!”

She eats more than my mother-in-law, but she doesn’t gain weight.

After coming out of the cafeteria, the two returned to the classroom, but the bell for class had not yet rung.

Tang Huan sat back in his seat and reached into the hole in the table to peel an egg. After peeling one, he put it in Feng Sisi’s hand and then peeled one for himself.

These two eggs were bought for Tang Huan. After Feng Sisi had breakfast in the morning, she wanted to give the eggs to Tang Huan again. But when she thought that these eggs were peeled for her by her good sister, she suddenly felt that there was still some room in her stomach.

Tang Huan had half a bowl of porridge left over from the morning, so he had room in his stomach for an egg.

On this side, Tang Huan was attending class in the classroom, and on the other side, Xing Cui was taking Meng Zeyan to a state-owned store.

Meng Zeyan didn’t tell anyone what happened in the breakfast shop that morning, not even Xing Cui knew. Her main task now is to buy shoes for her daughter-in-law and to let Meng Zeyan find a girl.

In the morning, Xing Cui went to ask the matchmaker specifically what the girls working as sales clerks were selling.

Coincidentally, the shoe salesperson was single.

In addition to selling women’s shoes, there are also women’s clothing and snacks and pastries…

Xing Cui felt that the shoe seller was the most destined to be with them. They happened to be buying shoes and the girl happened to be single. This was fate!

Meng Zeyan had no idea what his mother was planning, and followed her around the store.

After walking around for a while, she finally found a place selling shoes. Xing Cui didn’t look at the shoes at first glance, but looked at the shoe salesperson first.

The girl was wearing a grey work suit. She was quite tall and had a good figure. Her hair was braided into two long braids hanging in front. She looked okay, but her skin was a little dark.

Xing Cui doesn’t dislike it, being dark is normal! There are few girls these days who are as fair and clean as Xiao Huan.

It only took a blink of an eye for Xing Cui to walk over and start looking at the shoe styles on the shelves. There are also some requirements for white sneakers. Some shoes have a little color on the sides, while some do not.

There are many styles and colors of leather shoes.

Xing Cui pointed at a pair of white sneakers with a red streak on each side, then pointed at another pair of pure white sneakers, then turned to look at Meng Zeyan and asked him to give his opinion, “Which one looks better?”

Meng Zeyan had never chosen styles like this when buying shoes for himself. After taking a few glances and finding that the only difference between the two pairs of shoes was the red color, he pointed to the red pair.

“I think this pair looks good, too.” Xing Cui was very satisfied with Meng Zeyan’s taste. She pointed at the pair of sneakers and said to the salesperson, “Girl, give me a size 36 pair of these shoes.”

“Okay.” The salesperson responded with a smile and bent down to look for shoes from behind the shelf.

It’s hard to choose leather shoes, as they come in red, black, and brown. There are flat heels and high heels…

Xing Cui looked at the leather shoes shelf several times and thought every pair was good and they all looked good on Xiao Huan.
