Rebirth begins with an arranged marriage

Chapter 56 Confidence and High Spirits

"What you're saying..."

After listening, Guan Xiaolin looked at Tang Huaiyi with a puzzled expression.

Tang Huaiyi was also puzzled: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"Yes, that's right."

Guan Xiaolin said, "It just feels like you're not speaking like a student in school. It's more like... sometimes what my dad would say: weigh the pros and cons, avoid trouble, instead of insisting on popping the boil."

"You flatter me too much," Tang Huaiyi said with a smile. "I was just stating the facts."

Guan Xiaolin nodded, then tossed her ponytail and smiled, "But I just don't like hearing that kind of talk!"

"I'm the class monitor of Class 1, Grade 12. He Genbao is our classmate. If he's in trouble, I'll help him. If I can't help, I'll ask the teachers and his parents. No matter how difficult he is to get along with, what am I afraid of him for?"

Tang Huaiyi was genuinely stunned this time.

He was naturally more mature and sensible than his classmates, and therefore he never encouraged Song Siyuan, Ma Laixi and the others to beat up He Genbao to vent their anger, but just watched coldly from the sidelines.

But Guan Xiaolin's words at this moment were something else he had never thought of doing.

If there are problems, discuss them openly; if there are difficulties, resolve them.

It seemed that all the difficulties in the world were no longer difficulties at this moment, but rather thresholds in front of this spirited young woman, which she could easily step over.

The morning sunlight shone on Guan Xiaolin's beautiful face, radiating confidence. Tang Huaiyi had to admit that at this moment, her precious temperament was more charming than her face, figure, or youthful vitality.

Faced with such a confident and spirited beautiful girl, Tang Huaiyi felt that backing down and revealing more terrible possibilities to her would be too discouraging.

"Alright, Squad Leader Guan, then go do it."

Tang Huaiyi said, "Just be prepared to run into walls."

"Yes, don't worry, I'll definitely be prepared. I'll first talk to the teacher to understand He Genbao's situation, and then see if I can prescribe the right treatment."

Guan Xiaolin said with great enthusiasm and energy.

After breakfast, we returned to the classroom. The first class was Mr. Hou's (the teacher) politics class. The students all took out their politics textbooks and prepared to wait.

When class started, it was actually the homeroom teacher, Ms. Tian, ​​who came.

"Teacher Hou has something to do and can't come to class today. What did you learn in the last class? Review the last class, preview the next class, do the exercises you need to do, and memorize what you need to memorize."

As Teacher Tian spoke, she instructed Guan Xiaolin and the other class committee members to maintain class discipline.

When he left, Guan Xiaolin stood up and followed him out.

Not long after, Guan Xiaolin walked back from outside the classroom, her ponytail swaying slightly. She smiled at Tang Huaiyi, full of energy, like a little deer happily hopping on the lawn.

Tang Huaiyi was inspired by her youthful confidence and returned a smile.

He then lowered his head and began to study.

In today's political class, I don't know if Monkey Butt was too badly kicked by him last night to get up, or if he was frightened by a crow's peck.

Anyway, it's a good thing that he's not coming.

The main problem is that his behavior was too sleazy, and his lectures were mostly just reading from the textbook, so there's nothing to regret.

The first period was missed for Class 1 of Senior Three, and naturally, the second period was also missed for Class 2 of Senior Three.

When Liu Fangfang learned that Teacher Hou was absent today, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood immediately brightened. She was truly worried about how he would address her if she saw Teacher Hou again today.

After the second period ended, a gossipy student from Class 2 of Senior Three went to gather information and rushed back to the classroom before the third period began: "Something's happened to Teacher Hou!"

"He was drunk and wandering around campus last night, and somehow he got injured and couldn't come to class."

"This 'gossip' classmate said mysteriously."

Malai and his classmates asked curiously, "How did you get injured?"

"Who knows? Maybe he was drunk and tripped?"

The students didn't know what was going on either, and then class began.

As Liu Fangfang listened, a glimmer of hope returned to her heart: she hoped that since Teacher Hou was injured, he would stay home and rest, and not come to class anymore...

On the other hand, students in Class 1 of Senior Three also got similar answers, and the students were discussing it a lot.

Tang Huaiyi thought to himself that the school teachers would definitely not spread rumors about the monkey's butt being hit or by a monster, and that was probably all the students knew about the incident.

I also need to be a little careful. Although Monkey Butt was drunk at the time and might not be able to find me, I still need to be prepared just in case.

After the morning classes ended, the students left the classroom like birds released from their cages, running wild with joy.

Tang Huaiyi didn't go to eat, but was a little puzzled: Why hasn't Uncle San arrived yet?

Could it be that he went to see Widow Ma again?

If he really goes, the whole thing will be over, and Tang Huaiyi won't act as an intermediary anymore. They can't let Teacher Xu find another man who can't tell right from wrong to live with.

"Huaiyi..."

Just then, a voice came from the doorway.

Tang Huaiyi looked up and immediately smiled: it was indeed his third uncle, Tang Zhengcai, at the classroom door, but he looked completely different from usual.

His beard was shaved clean, his hair had been washed, and his skin was clearly rubbed vigorously, as it was a little red.

The clothes were the best in the house, and she wore them as neatly as possible. But coming from the countryside to the city, it was inevitable that her shoes and trousers would have some muddy stains – it had rained yesterday afternoon, and the roads weren't dry yet.

For this reason, Tang Zhengcai was obviously uneasy. After calling out to Tang Huaiyi, he kept looking down at his shoes, afraid that he would be disliked at first glance.

Tang Huaiyi told Li Xiujuan to bring out the food, and then walked to the door.

"Third Uncle, wait here for a moment, I'll go call Teacher Xu."

"Oh, okay." Tang Zhengcai looked down. "Huaiyi, look at my shoes, they're covered in mud and water from the whole way..."

"It should be fine. Teacher Xu isn't the kind of person who holds grudges," Tang Huaiyi said. "Most importantly, Uncle, you kept your word. There's no way you're allowed to contact anyone else."

"I promise I'll keep my word," Tang Zhengcai said immediately.

Tang Huaiyi nodded and walked to the door of the senior high school teachers' office.

There was only Teacher Xu inside, so it was convenient to talk.

"Teacher Xu?"

When Teacher Xu saw that it was Tang Huaiyi, she immediately stood up, her face slightly flushed: "Um... what's the matter?"

"My third uncle is here. Where would you like to meet him?" Tang Huaiyi asked.

Teacher Xu hesitated for a moment, feeling that the matter was not certain. Meeting in the office, the cafeteria and other places would involve too many people and gossip. If things didn't work out and the news leaked out, she might be laughed at, and her former mother-in-law might come to her door to insult her again.

"Tang Huaiyi, take your third uncle and come with me outside the school."

"How about I treat you to a meal?"
