In the evening, when Tian Fang finished washing the dishes and returned to the room, Tao Yin poured a glass of water and walked to her. Tian Fang took a sip of water and heard Tao Yin ask her.

"Mom, why didn't I see a bicycle at the door when I just came back? Didn't Madam say that she would compensate me with a new one?"

Tian Fang put down the cup, two slender eyebrows wrinkled, and angrily put down the cup.

"You still have the nerve to say that. Who told you to speak so loudly to Madam? Do you know that we can live here because of Madam's kindness? How could you let Madam buy you a bicycle?"

Kindness, kindness, it was because she was talking about the kindness of the Bai Family in front of the original owner that the original owner was forced to commit suicide.

"I never knew. Mom, can you tell me, what kindness did the Bai Family give to me?"

Being asked the key point, Tian Fang righteously explained: "If it weren't for Sir and Madam's kindness to take us in, we would have starved to death on the streets. Isn't this a great kindness? Just based on this, we have to remember it in our hearts. How could you talk back to Madam?

Besides, Sir also let you enter an aristocratic school. This is a great kindness! "

Tao Yin's face was cold as soon as Tian Fang opened her mouth. When Tian Fang finished speaking, she found that her daughter was unreasonably cold. She was not as obedient as she used to be when she was being taught a lesson.

"Mom, I don't understand. Can't you find a good job outside? Do you have to be taken in by the Bai Family to survive?

At home, there is a house that Dad left for us. If we sell it, we can get some money. We won't be reduced to living here every day.

As for the aristocratic school you mentioned, do you really think I like it there? "

Tian Fang was speechless by her daughter's words and didn't know how to refute. She could only silently take a basket of yarn from the bedside table and begin to choose a design. Seeing Tao Yin's gaze, Tian Fang very naturally explained while twirling the ball of yarn: "Isn't it the beginning of autumn? I want to make a pair of slippers for Sir, Madam, and Miss. Handmade slippers are comfortable and warm."

After saying that, she counted the wool in the basket. "Tomorrow, we have to go to the market to buy more. Today, I heard from Madam that the two young masters will be back soon. We have to have a pair each."

Young Master?

Seeing Tao Yin staring at the wool in a daze, Tian Fang awkwardly laughed and patted the back of Tao Yin's hand: "Hurry up and do your homework. I'll knit a pair for you in winter. Don't you like purple the most? I'll go look for light purple wool tomorrow."

This morning, Tao Yin paid special attention to the Bai family's clothing. Most people would inevitably be more relaxed at home than outside, which gave her the opportunity to observe them.

Bai Shengtian's expression was serious. Even when he was eating, he didn't have the slightest ambiguity. When facing Bai Manxi's mistakes, he obviously protected her, but this kind of protection was too strong. There was a sense of bluff in it. Tao Yin carefully recalled Bai Shengtian's tone at that time. It was rigid and serious, which didn't seem like a subconscious doting on his daughter.

Thanks to her soul leaving her body, during that time, she was extremely bored leaning on the ceiling. The thing she did most of the day was to observe the people coming and going, the doctors, nurses, patients in the same ward, and family members.

After seeing so much, she naturally had some understanding of people's expressions and movements.

Perhaps Bai Shengtian's character made him have an extremely deep sense of responsibility for his daughter, which suppressed the warmth between father and daughter.

In any case, Bai Shengtian showed that he was still a husband and a father who was a mainstay of the family business. The advantage of this kind of character was that people didn't dare to approach him easily, but people who were under his protection felt very secure.

Such a person was not a man who would wear colorful cotton slippers.

As for Pang Min, it was even easier to understand. There was a contemptuous look in her eyes, but she didn't hide it well enough. She was dressed in famous brands from head to toe. How could she be interested in slippers made by a maid? No matter how warm and comfortable it was, it couldn't be compared with foreign goods that cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Bai Manxi. Tao Yin reached out to stop Tian Fang from fiddling with the wool. After thinking for a while, she spoke.

"Mom, I see that Sir and Madam wear a lot of shoes. It seems that the price is not cheap. You don't have to bother making these anymore."

Bai Manxi didn't like her. How could she wear shoes made by her mother? It was good enough that she didn't throw them into the trash can in front of her.

Tian Fang frowned and slapped Tao Yin's hand away. She said discontentedly, "What do you know? The shoes I bought are the shoes I bought. I made these to show my sincerity." Tian Fang looked at her daughter reproachfully. "How many times have I told you that a person should know how to repay kindness? If it weren't for Madam who was willing to take us in, you would have starved to death. Now, shouldn't we do something to repay them?"

In the past, as long as Tian Fang said this, her daughter would definitely cry and apologize to her. But now … Tian Fang looked up and met Tao Yin's calm eyes. An indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

"You child, now you don't even listen to your mother's words." Tian Fang was surprised. She couldn't help but begin to educate her daughter and establish the image of the Bai family as their benefactors.

Tian Fang didn't study before graduating from high school. Her speech couldn't be considered elegant. Occasionally, she would say a few dirty words.

A mother's education was very important to a child's growth. Tao Yin could almost imagine how helpless Tian Fang was every day. She couldn't say anything and could only keep it in her heart.

Who could she tell? Her mother would only blame her for not being tolerant and sensible enough.

Who could say that Tian Fang wasn't responsible for the death of the original owner?

Tian Fang's mouth was dry. Tao Yin smiled and brought a cup of warm water over. Her weak attitude pleased Tian Fang. Before Tian Fang could calm down, Tao Yin changed the topic.

"Mom, today the teacher recommended a few universities to us. I think there are a few universities in T City that are very good. I want to apply for those universities. When the time comes, will you go to T City with me?" Tao Yin asked tentatively.

When she was punished to stand in class, she had already thought of a way out.

When she went to T City, which was thousands of kilometers away from the Bai family, she would completely cut off all ties and fulfill the original owner's wish.

As for the problem of her livelihood, she also made plans. Her foreign language ability was good. Whether it was oral or written translation, she was competent for general translation work.

Tian Fang stared at her suspiciously: "Why would a girl go to a university in another city?

I think you should honestly go to school in this city. It's close to home and you can take care of each other. T City is so far away and the cost of living there is high. "

Tian Fang thought that she was fascinated by the school teacher's words. She didn't need to think much to come up with a lot of reasons to persuade Tao Yin.

"Close to home?

Mom, did you forget that this is Bai Manxi's home, not our home? Even if we lived here for more than ten years, this is still a fact. "Tao Yin asked her with a smile.

Tian Fang didn't speak. Her neck was stiff and she didn't turn back.

Seeing Tao Yin excitedly imagine the scene of living in T City, Tian Fang suddenly panicked. She stuffed the wool back into the basket and walked to the bed. She half-heartedly said: "We'll talk about it when the time comes. You're only in your second year of high school right now. It's still early."

Tian Fang's heart flashed for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. It wasn't like she didn't know her daughter's grades. It was already difficult for her to go to a local university, not to mention the developed T City.

"Mom, I'm going to be an adult soon. Before that, I will definitely move out of the Bai family. I hope you can be with me. If you don't want to be with me, I will leave by myself. I mean what I say."

Looking at her daughter's determined eyes, Tian Fang still didn't give any response. Instead, she vaguely said that it was late and it was time to sleep.

"If you don't mention the bicycle tomorrow, I will take the initiative to ask Madam when you come back in the evening." Tao Yin looked at Tian Fang's back and suddenly said.

She really wanted to know what her biological mother would do.

Tao Yin woke up at 5: 30 in the morning. When she finished packing, the sky had just brightened.

Tian Fang went into the room to get an apron. As soon as she came in, she saw Tao Yin packing things on the table. She was startled: "Why are you up so early?"

Tao Yin lowered her head and packed a stack of A4 papers into her schoolbag. On the papers were the submissions she prepared last night for several foreign language magazines. There was no computer or mobile phone at home. She could only get up early to find an Internet cafe and type out the emails herself. Otherwise, she didn't know how long it would take to get a reply.

"I was late yesterday, so I came early today." Tao Yin smiled faintly.

Tian Fang nodded: "Then you can go buy something to eat later. I will give you money to get a taxi."

"No need, mom." Tao Yin stopped Tian Fang: "I asked my deskmate to help me borrow a bicycle. I will ride to school."

"Okay." Tian Fang stopped again. She took out ten yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into her hand: "Buy two steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk on the way. You must eat enough for breakfast. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to study for the whole day."

Tao Yin took the money and nodded. She carried her schoolbag and quietly walked out.

There were several Internet cafes in front of the school gate. However, Tao Yin was afraid of being seen by her classmates and causing trouble. She simply found an Internet cafe some distance away from the school. She turned on the computer and sat down to concentrate on typing.

The boy next to her was playing games and had just died. He was bored to death. He turned his neck and saw a girl next to him. She had fair skin and big eyes. Looking at her from such a close distance, her skin was unbelievably good, just like a boiled egg.

The boy's heart felt like it was being scratched. He took off his headphones and cleared his throat to greet her.

Tao Yin was racing against time to type. She didn't notice that someone was trying to strike up a conversation with her.

The boy didn't feel awkward. When he saw Tao Yin staring at the computer screen, he curiously tilted his head to see what she was doing. What he saw made his mouth open in an "O" shape. It was so big that a boiled egg could directly be stuffed into it.

"Beauty, your style is quite unique. Typing English in an Internet cafe?"

After sending the email in her hand, Tao Yin let out a sigh of relief. She tidied up the stack of papers and turned off the computer. Then, she glanced at the boy's computer and curved her lips: "You're not bad either. Hanging up in an Internet cafe?"

"F * ck!"

The boy finally realized that he was too focused on striking up a conversation and completely forgot that he was playing games. His teammates were all scolding him for hanging up. It wasn't easy for him to use his zigzag to win their forgiveness, but when he looked up again, there was no trace of Tao Yin.

Tao Yin was quite satisfied with the articles she wrote last night. It was the most comfortable thing that had happened in the past two days. After coming out of the Internet cafe, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a boy standing at the bottom of the stairs looking at her. He was wearing the same school uniform and looked a bit familiar.

Tao Yin remembered who this was. The original owner had given him a love letter before, but she was rejected in front of everyone.

This was the top student in her class, Yu Ye.

Tao Yin wanted to leave as if nothing had happened, but the other person's gaze was too strong. She couldn't pretend that she didn't see him.

Looking at her watch, Tao Yin nodded coldly at the other person. She rode the bike back to school without looking back.

Tao Yin didn't care that Yu Ye saw her entering the Internet cafe.

If the other person's big mouth really brought her trouble, she didn't mind packing him up.
