Chapter 189: Chapter 191: Dropping Out of School
“You... ”
Xu Miaomiao turned red immediately, “Why would you say something like that?”
“What’s so strange about it?” Tang Yuxin was puzzled, “Don’t tell me, you haven’t had your period yet?”
Xu Miaomiao’s face turned red all the way to her ears.
“Tang Yuxin, I’m not talking to you anymore.”
After that, she blushed, stuffed the medicine into her backpack, and glared at Tang Yuxin.
Tang Yuxin touched her own face, feeling quite wronged. She climbed the mountain to collect herbs, prepared the herbal medicine, painstakingly turned the powder into pills, only to be glared at, who had she provoked?
She had forgotten that at this age in her previous life, she was a normal girl who also had her embarrassing moments, like the monthly cycle of women, which was kept a secret.
Now, not only has she lived a lifetime longer than others, 30 years more, but she is also a doctor, and there is no gender difference in the eyes of a doctor.
So when she mentioned that word, when she talked about that matter, it was impossible for her to be embarrassed or shy.
When a woman reaches a certain age, her skin thickens and she can make all kinds of bold jokes.
Time is indeed a ruthless knife.
It can turn a young girl into a middle-aged woman who doesn’t mind being crude.
Xu Miaomiao handed the medicine to her mother.
“What is this?” her mother opened the paper bag, it was filled with pills the size of wild grapes, she knew they were traditional Chinese medicine, she could tell by the smell, couldn’t she?
If Zhang Yindi was pitiful, then the man who had given up everything for her was even more so.
Did she know that what Zhang Yindi was crying about?
“Yuxin, my mom won’t let me go to school anymore. She won’t let me go to school. Zhang Yindi cried so hard, covering her face. She said my grades weren’t good, so she won’t let me continue. The fields are so busy, and nobody at home can help.”
“But my older sister has even made it to high school, why don’t they make her drop out? My younger brother is also in junior high school, why don’t they make him drop out? Why is it always me? Why me?”
Tang Yuxin was silent although Zhang Yindi was pulling at his sleeve.
Favoring the older child and the younger one, leaving the one in the middle to suffer, who can be blamed for that? Yes, who can we blame? The cycle of blame is just because of poverty.
But did Zhang Yindi eventually drop out of school? She didn’t.
She was taken to Beijing by Gu Ning, who pampered and doted on her all her life. But her family was always left in this small village, and Zhang Yindi never once came back to visit them, or send them anything, or even gave them a thought.
Even when she had a fortune worth hundreds of millions, even when she was wearing branded clothes, driving a luxury car, and had many servants at her disposal, she never once thought about her eldest sister who was stuck in a small company, her younger brother who had to do odd jobs on construction sites because he couldn’t go to school, and her aged parents who relied on a small acre of farmland to support the family.
Could she be said to be heartless?
Tang Yuxin was not Zhang Yindi, so she didn’t want to comment on it.
“Yuxin, what should I do? I want to go to school...” Zhang Yindi looked up at her, still with her plain features, nothing outstanding about her. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Gu Ning loved her deeply.
Tang Yuxin gently lifted up her eyelids, it was still that pleasing green in the distance, it should be coming soon, right?
Zhang Yindi left crying. She came looking for Tang Yuxin, but Tang Yuxin, being a student herself, could not help her. Of course, it was even more impossible for her to tell Zhang Yindi at this moment that she needn’t worry, she wouldn’t have to drop out of school because her future husband would be here to pick her up soon.
Tang Yuxin pulled at her own red lips, not knowing what was hurting. It was a dull pain, in her heart or in her soul, she wasn’t sure.
She guessed she would never forget that day in her life, the day of her birthday. Her father asked her to come home to celebrate her birthday and bought her a big birthday cake. That was the only birthday cake she had in her past life.
