Zhou Siyu was very cautious, even after she had moved the things to a different hiding spot, she did not rush to go to school.
Shen Mianmian was too shrewd; if Siyu left then, perhaps Mianmian would go through her things. To be safe, it was better to wait until Mianmian had left.
Having been used to doing household chores from a young age, Mianmian worked efficiently. It didn't take her long to finish washing the clothes, her hands red and frozen because Zhou Lanfang did not allow her to use hot water, claiming it was a waste of firewood, though the firewood didn't cost any money at all.
To put it bluntly, Lanfang just didn't want her to live comfortably; she wanted to torture her.
After hanging the clothes to dry, Mianmian returned to her room, picked up her schoolbag, and prepared to go to school. Siyu, who had been waiting impatiently, set off for school on her bike the moment Mianmian stepped out.
