With a bang, the door to the room was slammed shut.
Wan Xiaoniang sat on the ground alone, hugging her knees and crying silently.
What she was holding tightly in her hands was the wad of cash she had obtained through smuggling, about 10,000 yuan.
She has been working hard to sell alcohol these days, but she has only managed to save 50,000 yuan.
"I'm sorry, Mimi..."
At this moment, a white puppy ran out of the darkness.
The puppy was raised by Wan Xiaoniang and has been raising it for several years.
He has always been with her, and in her heart, he exists like a family member.
"Woof woof."
The puppy is very well-behaved and seems to be very spiritual.
After barking a few times, he held the paper box in front of her, then gently pulled her arm with his paws, "Woof, woof."
Master, stop crying and wipe your tears.
"Prosperous wealth."
Wan Xiaoniang could no longer suppress her inner grievance and took the puppy into her arms.
In the past few days, she had been busy collecting money and had forgotten the existence of the puppy.
I was away from home for a long time and didn't feed it anything.
"These days, mom is not at home, what do you eat?"
As she spoke, she quickly poured a bowl of dog food for the puppy.
The puppy walked to the trash can, took out the ham sausages and bread bags from the trash can, barked a few times, and then ran to the balcony to look next door.
Next door is Gu Siying's home.
Wan Xiaoniang understood instantly: "You mean, Gu Siying has been feeding you these past few days."
The two families were neighbors and not far apart, so Gu Siying could easily throw the food onto the balcony.
The puppy barked twice, seeming to answer her.
"Gu Siying..."
Just when she was distracted, the phone rang again.
As soon as she saw the contact on the phone, Wan Xiaoniang's eyes were full of impatience.
Although she didn't want to answer the phone, she still picked up the phone.
The woman's unkind words came from the other end of the phone: "Mom, are you ready for the 100,000 yuan your brother wants to spend?"
"Mom, one hundred thousand is not ten yuan. This is not a small amount of money. It has only been a few days and you are asking me for it. Where can I get it? Should I go grab the money?"
"How to get the 100,000 yuan is your problem. Whether you want to rob or cheat, that's all your business. What I want is that I must get the 100,000 yuan tomorrow. That's the last thing.
deadline."
"Mom! Don't go too far! He is your son, but I am also your daughter! You have been like this since you were a child, favoring sons over daughters. Forget it. I was admitted to Fudan University, but you don't have tuition fees. My daughter
Why don't you let me read so many books at home, even to the point of threatening death! But what about my younger brother? He was admitted to a third-rate university, but you spent all the family's savings to buy him to go to an aristocratic university!"
"The man will be the incense in the family from now on, and he has to continue the incense in our family. Besides, what do you, a woman, do to read so many books? What's the use? In the end, you don't have to marry an outsider, raise a husband, raise children, and give birth to children.
It’s also a foreign surname. Instead of doing this, why did it cost our family so much money?”
"Yi Bi Bi and I have calculated so clearly, am I an outsider?"
The woman's words hurt her heart,
Wan Xiaoniang's hand crushed a glass into pieces.
This is anger and sadness that comes from within.
Under the strong resentment, the glass also turned into countless sharp fragments in her hands.
Even though her hands were filled with sharp glass fragments that could hurt people, she never let go.
Instead, it gets tighter and tighter.
After tightening it tighter and tighter, countless bright red blood was already flowing from her palm.
The bright red blood soon dyed the glass shards red. The crystal clear glass shards were full of bright red color, making people feel scalp numb just by looking at them.
At this time, her tears had already fallen down.
Countless grievances and unwillingness came to my mind at this moment.
"Mom, I have been working since I was 18 years old after finishing the college entrance examination. Since I started working, every penny and all the money I have saved has been given to my family. In the past five or six years, not much, but two million
Alright?"
The woman's voice was full of disdain: "So what? You are my daughter. I raised you with my own hands and raised you until you are 18 years old. You have to pay back all of this! Moreover, I gave you life,
What does a mere two million mean? You have to be filial to me all your life, even if you get married. You still have to take care of your younger brother. We only have one son in our family.
"What a single Miaomiao, what a son. Mom, it turns out you also know that I am your daughter! Yes, you raised me and gave me life. But you only raised me until I was eighteen years old. From childhood to adulthood,
I always pick up other people's old clothes and wear them. Have you ever bought me new clothes? I also eat meat and snacks. I always eat the leftovers from my brother..."
"Then what's the matter? Why do girls have to be so delicate? In the end, they don't want to marry into other people's families and become other people's children."
"Yes, in your hearts, I will always be a married outsider. Mom, I've had enough. Over the years, I have given you two million. Now I don't have a penny left.
Two million, I have paid off your eighteen years of upbringing. I won’t owe you anything from now on. There is also my brother, I am not his parents, I have no obligation to support him, and he is not qualified to live in old age.
Nibble on me."
"Wan Xiaoniang, what do you mean by this? Do you want to sever ties with us?"
"Yes, that's what it means. From now on, you are you and I am me. Mom, take good care of yourself in the future."
After saying that, Wan Xiaoniang hung up the phone without hesitation.
After saying these words that had been suppressed in her heart for many years, she felt relaxed like never before.
It was as if the pressure on her shoulders, which made her breathless, had all disappeared at this moment.
She hugged the puppy mother in front of her and cried loudly.
He didn't say anything, he just cried quietly alone.
The next day, Wan Xiaoniang had a comfortable sleep.
She took a day off and did not go to work. Instead, she went shopping with Wangcai. Like a normal woman, she went shopping, bought what she liked, and ate.
Enjoy life and feel the warm sunshine.
When the sunlight poured into her palms, Wan Xiaoniang stood in the center of the square and gently closed her eyes.
Her whole body seemed to be bathed in warm sunshine, as if it illuminated her dim world and cold body.
Wan Xiaoniang couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. She worked at night all day long, in a smoky nightclub.
How long has it been since you've been exposed to such warm sunshine?
