Chapter 2 — A Dao Didn't Return

My mother did not care about my achievements, and in her heart also looked down on me because I was raised by my grandmother. But she didn't know that her daughter was as resilient as her mother. Both were able to escape the mud of their biological family. 3After leaving me behind, my mother quickly drove away. The foreman looked at me for a few seconds and then pointed to the bags of cement piled in the distance. "Go, move those things into the shack." Someone next to him frowned. "That's quite heavy, she's just a girl..." "When she stole money, why weren't you scared and tired?" The foreman interrupted him with a cold face. I didn't explain anymore, I bent down and picked up a bag of cement. The heavy bag forced my arms to tremble. Just walking a few steps, the palm of my hand was rubbed until it was painful. The sun above my head was scorching hot, sweat kept flowing into my eyes. By evening, my whole body was covered in sweat and cement dust. Her hair stuck to her face in clumps, struggling to the point that her original appearance was no longer recognizable. The foreman counted the items I had moved and gave me two red bills. "If calculated by quantity, it was only one hundred and fifty." "The remaining fifty is considered as extra." He sighed. "Girl, in the future, please correct your mistakes, don't steal money from the house anymore." I opened my mouth, wanting to say that I didn't steal. But the words that reached my mouth were swallowed back. Anyway, no one believed it. "Thank you, uncle." I grabbed the money and went out. As soon as I walked out of the construction site, tears fell. Tears flowed through his face covered with gray dust, creating a clean streak that looked extremely funny. Even a stranger, seeing how pitiful I was, gave me another fifty yuan. But my biological parents never felt sorry for me even once. Returning home, I gave two hundred yuan to my father. He happily accepted it and was about to put it in the drawer when Tham Di Ninh suddenly ran out of the room. "Dad, I want to buy a set of makeup brushes." Dad didn't even ask the price, just handed him the money. "Take it. With the remaining money, buy food." Tham Di Ninh happily accepted it. "Thank you, dad." I stood in place, looking at the two hundred yuan that I had to fall countless times in the sun to earn gently fell into his hands. Dad suddenly called my name: "Tri Dao, go take a shower and change clothes." "Your mother is working overtime tonight and doesn't have time to cook. Let's go out to eat." Tham Di Ninh immediately asked: "What are you eating, dad?" "Eating buffet." His face immediately fell. "Why buffet again? I eat this dish every time, it's not interesting at all." I couldn't help but raise my head. Since being picked up in the city, I have never had a buffet. Last time the class held a party, everyone also went to a buffet. But I don't have money to eat more than a hundred yuan. In the end I could only lie and say I had a stomach ache. I quickly finished showering and changed into the only relatively clean dress in the closet. As soon as he entered the living room, dad frowned. "What are you wearing?" "It's shortened to this extent, and people who don't know will think we're mistreating you." I lowered my head to look. This dress originally belonged to Tham Di Ninh. He criticized the rustic color, only wore it once and then threw it to me. In our family, there has never been a tradition of sisters wearing tight clothes and leaving them for their younger sisters. Only things my sister doesn't like are my turn. "I don't have any other clothes." Dad was silent for a few seconds, and finally said nothing. Arriving at the restaurant, looking at the long table filled with food, I felt a bit confused. Tham Di Ninh and Tham Tri have mastered holding plates and going far. I followed behind. When I reached for a piece of steak, I accidentally knocked over the plate of sauce next to it. Brown sauce splashed onto the table and also stuck to Dad's sleeve. His face immediately darkened. "What's wrong with you?" "Eating a meal is also clumsy, out of order." Yes

The person next to me looked over. I quickly took a tissue and wiped it. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Dad shook my hand away. "Just like my grandmother." "I've been in the countryside for so long that I don't have any manners, no matter how I teach you, I can't teach you anything." I suddenly raised my head and protested: "Dad, you can't say grandma." Dad was stunned, as if he didn't believe I dared to argue. "Say that again?" "Grandma is very good, treats me better than mom and dad!" Dad's face completely darkened. "Okay, Since you protected her like that, don't eat with us.” “Get out!” 4 The eyes around me were like needles pricking me. I put down my plate, turned around and ran out of the restaurant. It was dark outside. The street lights light up one after another. I walked alone along the unfamiliar road, taking out the jade pendant my grandmother left behind from my collar. Before she passed away, she was so thin that she was only skin and bones, but still patted my head and smiled. "Grandma died, it's good." "Grandma died, only then can our A Dao return to the city to live with her parents." I cried and shook my head. "I don't want to go back, I just need my grandmother." Grandma wiped my tears again. "Stupid child, how can there be any parent who doesn't love their child?" "Coming to the city." must obey, must live in harmony with younger brother and sister.” At that time, I cried and nodded. I think that as long as I'm obedient enough, they will love me.
