Chapter 496 - 210: Top-grade Classical Literature (Part Two)_3
Every person with a bit of sense would hastily refuse.
But not He Tiantian; as soon as someone would speak up, she eagerly followed.
She freeloaded meals and advantages, with the shameful demeanor of a ghost starving to death reincarnated.
Furthermore, whenever she saw another girl wearing a new hairclip or new clothes, she would pitifully play the victim and "borrow" the items.
She added countless laughs to the family courtyard.
And He Yaodong, once a formidable name in the unit, also became the subject of pointing fingers because of a "gluttonous," "greedy" daughter.
Though He Yaodong and his wife Wu Zhuoya felt a loss of face, they were seasoned and steadfast folk.
Others’ "jokes" were met with their laughter, taking no serious offense.
He Weijun and his sister, He Weihong, however, were young, sensitive about their reputation, proud, and self-respecting.
Hearing the gossip outside or being ridiculed to their faces, they felt a mix of shame and anger, wishing they could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Their He Family had always been among the top families in the courtyard.
Not to mention their outstanding elder brother, even the two siblings themselves were the epitome of both character and scholarship, the "someone else’s child" often referred to by other families.
