Chapter 74 - 74 Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister
74 Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister
In the town middle school, school ended at 11:30 in the morning and started at 2:30 in the afternoon. It was summer, and in the winter it would be an hour later. Because there were more than a dozen brigades nearby, the village only had one middle school in town. All the children of the right age who could afford to study were studying in the town, so there were many students living in the school.
When it was mealtime, the cafeteria line could go out really far with the students holding their lunch boxes and meal tickets.
The two girls standing in the middle of the winding line were particularly eye-catching. The students in front, behind, left, and right were all secretly looking at the two girls.
The two of them were very famous in the school.
They were Su Xue, and the fifth sister of the Su family. They were both in grade nine this year. From the first day of school, it had been almost three years. The two of them had always been tied for first place in their grade. They had firmly held this position for three years. The places behind them had changed many times, but the two of them had not changed.
The teacher said that they would definitely be able to get into the county’s first high school during the middle school examination next month.
However, there had been rumors in the school that they were going to drop out of school, so the students who were peeking at them were full of sympathy.
“Hmph!” The girl at the end of the line snorted sharply. The person beside her comforted her, but her voice was very good, so everyone around her heard it.
“He Xiaomei, don’t be angry. I guess they stole your peach crisps because they were too hungry.” At first, Zhao Yuan seemed to be trying to ease her, but in reality, the words she said did not sound right.
Sure enough, those who did not know the situation turned around and asked curiously, “Who’s stealing?”
“It’s all because of Su Xue and fifth sister Su.” Zhao Yuan raised her voice, attracting everyone’s attention. “He Xiaomei’s peach crisps in the dormitory cabinet are gone. It was Su Xue and fifth sister Su who ate it.”
There was an uproar in the surroundings. Someone directly refuted, “Impossible! Su Xue and the others would never steal.”
“That’s right. The teacher said that Su Xue and fifth sister Su not only have good academic results, but they also have good moral character. They would never steal.” Some of Su Xue’s classmates who were close to her retorted.
He Xiaomei’s face was cold and arrogant. The big bag of peach crisps that her brother had given her was gone in the cabinet. Someone must have stolen it. It was impossible for anyone else to be in the dormitory other than Su Xue and fifth sister Su.
She did not care that her food had been stolen.
She was angry at their attitude, as if they did not care about it, as if it was only right. The more she looked at them, the angrier she got. She only watched coldly when everyone else was looking for trouble with the Su sisters.
“Xiaomei, did someone really steal your peach crisps?”
He Xiaomei nodded. “That’s right, my brother just sent it over. It was really expensive to buy a big bag!”
He Xiaomei came from a well-to-do family and was popular in school. Although she was a little arrogant, she never lied. Everyone believed her. Immediately, everyone looked at the Su sisters in the middle of the line with condemnation.
It was as if they could not believe that these two people with good character and academic performance would actually steal their classmate’s things.
In this day and age, if one were to bear the infamy of being a thief, they would be finished. Not only would one not be able to study, even if one were to get married in the future, no one would dare to want the person.
“So you really are a thief. I feel sorry for teacher’s cultivation.”
“I don’t believe it. Su Xue even lent me her notes!”
“Tsk! She was deliberately trying to win people’s hearts. Her true face has been exposed.”
One of the sisters had her head lowered, while the other stood upright. They looked forward calmly, and their thin shoulders seemed to be able to be blown away by a gust of wind.
