Love Letters

Chapter 118 I’m not a thief

"Could it be that I counted wrong? Or maybe......"

"Teacher Hu and you counted the money yourself, and that's the amount."

Chen Fangfang directly interrupted her speculation, "It will neither disappear out of thin air nor appear without reason."

As if she realized that her attitude and tone were a little anxious, she let out a long sigh and tried to slow down her tone.

"The number of people who have registered is now one in twenty, but the registration fee is twenty..."

“Is there anyone who hasn’t handed it in?”

He Miao tried to calmly propose various possibilities or guesses, but he was already a little panicked.

"impossible."

Chen Fangfang also insisted, "I counted them one by one. I paid one dollar and registered one name. There is no way I could make a mistake."

"What is the reason?"

"I was wondering if you took the money and gave it to Teacher Hu directly. Is it possible that you put it on the table..."

As she spoke, Chen Fangfang turned her gaze to He Miao, and there was a hint of inquiry in her words.

He Miao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her, but still patiently explained, "No, I just took it and went to the office that day."

"He Miao, I'm really trusting you before I give it to you."

"I know, but I really didn't take it secretly."

Seeing that He Miao also had a determined look on his face, Chen Fangfang sighed.

He Miao returned to her seat and sat down. She looked at the sky outside the window, a little absent-minded.

"Let me ask again, are you sure that all the students who want to go have paid?"

Chen Fangfang suddenly walked to the podium, as if she was going to announce something important.

"If you haven't submitted it yet, hurry up and submit it. There's still a chance."

She looked around, her eyes darkened, and her tone became harder.

"Class monitor, we all paid the money and registered at the same time, don't let us bear the loss just because you lost the money."

Zhao Wenxuan made a sarcastic remark, and then the other students echoed him.

"That's right. Anyway, we have already paid the money. Don't let the money be gone and the name be left unregistered."

"Whoever took it should make it up to him. It's no big deal."

"Jin Yu, didn't we sign up together that day? The monitor must have seen us paying the money."

“Ah… yes.”

Zhao Wenxuan shouted, and Chen Jinyu seemed startled. She responded in a panic, "We can be witnesses for each other."

Seeing this, Chen Fangfang looked at He Miao with an embarrassed look on her face.

"I don't know how to deal with this now. Let's see what Teacher Hu says. After all, it involves money."

As the issue was delayed and discussed, more and more people became aware of it.

"Stealing money is a very serious matter. If we don't find it, no one can go."

Hu Datu looked unhappy when he got the news.

He glanced at He Miao and said, "Although grades are important, good character is more difficult to come by."

"Huh? Why?"

Some students in the class began to complain.

"Yes, we did sign up and pay the money honestly."

"Teacher Hu, you can't let other people who paid honestly pay the bill because of one person's mistake."

"Whoever lost it is responsible. Just pay the money and we'll let it go."

"No."

Hu Datu was also very strict in this regard. "I can tolerate your poor academic performance, but your hands and feet must be clean."

His attitude was also very firm, and he had no intention of turning a blind eye and getting away with it.

"Who did you get the money for? Maybe they secretly took some of it."

Winston Chao seemed to be venting his anger, and his tone became sarcastic.

"On the first day, he said his family wouldn't give him money, but on the second day he had the money to sign up? It's hard to say where the money came from."

"Winston Chao, what are you talking about?"

He Miao felt uncomfortable when he heard her words and questioned her directly.

"You're taking it for granted so quickly? Are you hiding something?" Zhao Wenxuan looked at her, disgust and mockery flashing in his eyes.

"What do you mean by sit in the right seat? You almost pinned me to death in my seat."

He Miao was a little angry and embarrassed by what she said.

"If you're so scared, why don't you pay the money back? Don't waste everyone's time."

Zhao Wenxuan sneered, a look of pride flashing across his face.

"Just make up the money."

Seeing this, others also spoke up.

He Miao felt more aggrieved when she saw everyone talking at once, and she couldn't help but cry while speaking.

"I only pay my share. My family doesn't have a lot of spare money to fill loopholes for others."

"It's all my fault. I really shouldn't have given it to you."

After class, Chen Fangfang sat in the classroom with a look of regret on her face.

"I am helping too."

"You're doing me a disservice."

"How about I pay for it first? I can pay for it first."

Shen Weiwei came over suddenly. She glanced at He Miao and said, "You don't have to pay it back. Just consider it as mine..."

"No."

He Miao refused without thinking, "Who asked you to pay? I didn't steal the money."

"I didn't say you stole it, it's just..."

"I didn't take it either!"

"I know, but since you lost the money......"

"I didn't lose it."

He Miao was still insisting, but his weak voice seemed insignificant amid the spit of the crowd.

"That's enough, He Miao."

Chen Qiang on the side suddenly said, "We still want to have fun, please don't waste everyone's time."

"That's right, he's not willing to pay, but he's also very talkative."

"You get a good deal and still act nice."

Faced with everyone's doubts, He Miao was a little incoherent.

It was precisely at this moment that I felt the most disappointing. My heart ached and I wanted to cry.

"Whoever claims it has to provide evidence."

Liu Feifei caught one and asked, "Did you see He Miao take it?"

"I...I didn't, but others said so too."

They hold on to luck and the herd mentality, thinking that even if they wrongly accuse someone, the law will not hold everyone accountable.

"You all speak so confidently that if you don't know, you would think you saw it with your own eyes."

Seeing He Miao being besieged, Liu Feifei became furious.

"If you ask me, it's probably because someone only signed up but didn't pay, and then pushed the responsibility onto the kind-hearted people who helped."

As soon as Liu Feifei said this, some people began to keep silent.

Hearing this, Liu Jinyu's face changed, "Liu Feifei, that's enough. Don't offend all the students who paid money just to protect He Miao."

"That's right. Is there anything wrong with us paying the money honestly? We are being scolded for nothing."

The matter has been a fuss for a long time but there is no result. No one has taken the initiative to claim it, and there is no direct evidence to prove that He Miao took it.......

The windows are bright and clean, and the forest is colorful.

A fire burned the maple leaves red, and the shadows of the branches were reflected on the yellow awning, like an ancient painting.

Because he was troubled by this matter, He Miao was in a bad mood the whole day.

She glanced at the empty seat next to her and was told that Xu Mobai had asked for leave.

I went to school happily, but came back home dejected.

He Miao felt bad whenever he thought about what happened at school.

Nothing goes smoothly.

"Why are you crying like that? Have you been bullied?"

When there was an intersection away from the community, He Miao was suddenly startled by someone jumping out.

"Uncle...Uncle, didn't you go to jail?"
