"Come inside with me, I’ll give you a tutoring session first," Song Zhengguo’s voice was slightly hoarse, it was unclear if it was because he had been drinking or something else. Latest content publıshed on novel※fire.net
After he finished speaking, he turned to Zhou Siyu, and said seriously, "This is a test paper, the important parts I haven’t listed yet. I still have a full day’s work tomorrow, and won’t be able to get it to you until the evening, so you will need to come again tomorrow."
Zhou Siyu’s hands by her side tightened slightly. That damned old man was doing this on purpose, deliberately not giving them all the questions, just afraid that she would leave, afraid they wouldn’t come back tomorrow.
Song Zhengguo’s gaze became more and more lecherous, and seemingly unable to restrain himself, he spoke to the two of them.
"Siyu, you start with the exam paper, Xinlan, come with me inside."
Zhao Xinlan felt nauseated by his lecherous gaze. Suppressing the emotions at the bottom of her heart, she stood up trembling and went into the room with Song Zhengguo.
Between Song Zhengguo’s room and the main hall, there was only a tattered straw mat curtain. As Zhou Siyu saw the two go in, a strong feeling of disgust rose in her heart. She wanted to take the exam paper and leave immediately, but she remembered the big promise Song Zhengguo made to her.
If she got into the second high school, she would have a chance to get close to Gu Jianbin. Even if she couldn’t make it to college, she could still live a good life in the city as long as she got on Gu Jianbin’s good side.
What was this small sacrifice in comparison?
After all, it wouldn’t cost her a piece of flesh. An hour or two would pass quickly.
Zhou Siyu gritted her teeth, took out her pen from her backpack, and got started on the questions, leaning over the dining table. She left the ones she couldn’t do to one side, waiting for Song Zhengguo to explain.
Just as she had started on the questions, a slightly pained sound from Xinlan came from inside the room. Siyu felt sick again, and also a bit curious. She covered her ears, not wanting to hear those strange sounds, but she couldn’t help her curiosity.
About a few minutes later, Xinlan’s voice stopped, followed by the squeaking and creaking of an old wooden bed. She tried to hold back her curiosity but ultimately failed. She tiptoed to the door, and quietly lifted a crack in the door curtain to peek inside.
Her face flushed, she hurriedly sat back down and continued with her homework, but she couldn’t concentrate anymore. Her head was filled with the scene she had just witnessed.
After about fifteen minutes, Zhao Xinlan came out of the room, with tear stains at the corners of her eyes.
The two of them exchanged a look, Xinlan sat down next to the dining table, and neither of them spoke.
Song Zhengguo also came out after a while, his face flushed, holding another handwritten set of questions.
"Siyu, come with me for a moment, let Xinlan do some questions," he said.
Zhou Siyu was reluctant, even thinking of running away, but remembering her aspiration of attending high school, she gritted her teeth and followed Song Zhengguo into the inner room.
Feeling disgusted to her core, especially as Song Zhengguo’s lips, reeking of alcohol and bad breath, approached her face, she nearly pushed him away and left.
But in the end, she held back.
There was no turning back from this point.
She was determined to leave the countryside and head for the big city; she refused to spend her life in a dilapidated clay house like her uncle and aunt.
After about half an hour, everything settled down. Zhou Siyu couldn’t wait to get out of the room; Zhao Xinlan had almost finished her questions. Seeing them come out, she spoke softly.
"Uncle Song, there are some I don’t know, so I didn’t write them," she said.
