Chapter 7 — A Dao Didn't Return

Dad also opened the box in his hand, inside there was a completely new key. "Tri Dao, the lock on the drawer in the house has been changed." "This is a key made especially for you. From now on, you can take as much money as you want from the house." I bowed my head and looked at the key. Silver color, brand new. But I am no longer Tham Tri Dao that year, standing at the dining table quietly asking if I could take a hundred yuan. At that time, what I wanted was not the money in the drawer. I just want to know why my brother and sister both have keys, but I don't have them. Dad's voice was hoarse: "We were bad parents before. But after all, you are still our biological daughter." "Now that you have a future, you can't really not need your family anymore." I raised my head to look at him. "Dad." When this way of addressing was said, even I felt strange. "Do you know that I have a peanut allergy?" Dad was stunned. Mom opened her mouth but couldn't say a word. I asked again: "Do you know what I majored in college?" "Do you know what my first scholarship was used for?" "Do you know how I went to school when I was eighteen?" They couldn't answer a single question. Mother's tears fell even more. "Dao Dao, those things are over. Later, I will slowly make it up to you." I calmly looked at her. "It's too late." "The time I need my parents the most has passed." Seeing me turn to leave, Tham Di Ninh suddenly grabbed me. "Sister, please forgive your parents." "After you left, our family life was not good." It turned out that after the media in her hometown republished the article Writing about me, someone recognized the Tham family. The juniors who bought my notebooks told me about the two hundred yuan story. The homeroom teacher also mentioned in the interview that when I filled out the application form, I couldn't even buy the Enrollment Plan book, which cost ninety-eight yuan. Even the people at the construction site remember my mother publicly saying I stole money and then forcing me to carry cement. After everything spread, the way their relatives and neighbors looked at them changed. Dad originally ran a small company. Some customers who had cooperated with him for many years thought that his treatment of his biological daughter was not trustworthy and one by one canceled their cooperation. Mom's store was also recognized by people. A customer asked her directly in front of her: "Even if your daughter is allergic to peanuts and you don't know, can you really treat customers honestly?" The business continued to decline and finally had to close. After entering university, Tham Tri's achievements were a mess. Football does not achieve anything but spends more and more money. Last year, he was disciplined by the school for fighting. Tham Di Ninh also stopped studying piano a long time ago. After failing the art aptitude test, he always stayed at home. Changed a few jobs but every job was tiring. Speaking of this, he cried even more pitifully. "Now that our relatives are avoiding us, dad's company is about to be unable to support it anymore." "Sister, we really know we are wrong. Please forgive our parents and come back home with us." I looked at him and couldn't help but laugh. "So today everyone came to me not because they really knew they were wrong, but because the family is not living well anymore?" 10 Tham Di Ninh's hand stiffened. I gently removed his hand. "It's not because of me that people are not living well." "The company went bankrupt, the store closed, and Tham Tri caused trouble. It's not because I didn't come home." "But because from childhood until adulthood, my parents have always suffered the consequences for him." Dad's face was unsightly. "He's your biological younger brother." "What about you?" I looked at him. "Aren't you our biological daughter?" "But when I turned eighteen, I just wanted to have ninety eight

It's so bad that your parents also think you're a liar." "Now that we're short of money, we remember that we're family." Dad opened his mouth but couldn't say anything more. I didn't accept that key. I also didn't accept the bouquet of flowers in my mother's arms. After that day, they called me many times. I blocked everything. I originally thought that everything ended like that. But half a year later, I received a call from an unknown number. The phone just happened connection, Tham Tri's voice came. "Sister, you will immediately transfer eight hundred thousand yuan to the family." The tone was very matter-of-fact. As if I was still the same sister who did not dare to refute him. I frowned. "Why?" He hesitated for a long time before saying that after drinking, he got into a fight with someone, causing the other person to be seriously injured. If he did not give compensation, the other person would not write a request for relief. His mother stood next to him and cried said: "Dao Dao, your younger brother is still young." "If he really leaves a criminal record, his whole life will be ruined." Dad also said in a low voice: "Now your job is very good, eight hundred thousand can still be earned in the future." "But Tieu Tri only has this chance." I picked up the phone, suddenly remembering when I was locked in the room, they also said they wanted me to reflect carefully.
