She continued slowly, “My grandmother and parents were looking forward to having the first boy, so when I was born, they were very unhappy. My grandmother was so angry that she fell seriously ill and finally passed away. In this way, my parents said that I was a bane and they don’t like me anymore.”
“It was not until three years later that my brother was born that they were a little happy. And of course, my brother became the baby in the family. All the delicious food and drinks were all his. I was asked to do housework and farm work since I was five years old. Then I went to school. If the school teacher hadn’t found me at home, they wouldn’t have asked me to go to school.”
“Later, when I came to junior high school, I was old enough, and my grades were not good. They didn’t let me continue to study, and sent me to the county to work. I earned 800 yuan a month, and 500 yuan was sent back to the house to use.” “Later, I came to the provincial capital from the county and found some other jobs, and my salary gradually increased. Every month I send more money to my family, which has been regarded as the main economic pillar of my family. So their attitude towards me has finally improved a little, and I am now like a normal family.”
Speaking of this, Huang Ting choked with sobs, and the tears in her eyes rolled down involuntarily. “However, they value my money, not my daughter. They never treat me as their child.”
“Especially after my brother grew up, because he was doted on by his family since he was a child, and he agreed to any requirements. So he was not good-tempered since childhood. After he dropped out of the middle school, he went out directly to mingle with others. He usually spent a lot of money, went out to eat and play, and asked for money. Even if he got into trouble, he had to stay at home to take care of it.” “When he turned eighteen, I suggested asking him to go out to work to earn money. I also found him a job in the city to work in the factory. When he worked for it for two days, he felt that work was too tiring and was unwilling to do the stall, so he went home directly. It was even because of his negligence that more than a dozen parts were scrapped in the factory workshop. In the end, I lost money to pay for it.”
“I was so angry that I went home and wanted to criticize him. But my parents supported him before I said anything. They said he was still young. Since he didn’t want to go out, he should stay at home.”
“I don’t want to say much, so I let him go on like this. But in the next few years, not only did he not go out to make money, but he also spent more money. Not only did he use up all his savings in the family, but also he asked me for money several times when he was set up. If I didn’t pay, he would call my parents to complain. They would believe his words and ask me to pay.”
