Chapter 1 — Admission Notice Was Sold By Mistake

Before the day of admission, my admission notice was sold for scrap by my mother. I was so angry that I was shaking all over, screaming and questioning her: "Before selling my things, why didn't you ask me? I studied hard for so many years to pass the exam, and you ruined everything!" But she seemed innocent, her voice full of resentment: "Mom, I'm not literate. I just thought of selling it to get some money to pay for my child's tuition, but you don't know how to sympathize with me at all." The girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, pretending that the matter had nothing to do with her. "At most, I'll just have to repeat my studies for a year. Is something so small that you make a fuss and make the whole family so unhappy?" Dad's face darkened and he shouted loudly: "Even if she's wrong, it's still your mother! Just because of a piece of paper, arguing like this, I think it's worth it if you even went to college!" After that, I was psychologically haunted. During the school year, I couldn't stand the sarcasm and sarcasm every day, and in the end I jumped from the building and committed suicide. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day before my mother sold my admission notice. This time, I put my sister's admission notice and my father's important documents in a drawer. I want to see if the knife hits them, do they feel pain or not? "What time is it and you haven't woken up yet? If you continue to sleep, you'll be so lazy that you'll grow maggots!" The bedroom curtains were forcefully pulled open by my mother. A blinding light shined straight at me. I trembled, immediately wide awake. I really came back to life, returned to the day before my admission notice was sold for scrap by my mother. Mother stood next to the bed, deliberately pulled the mop very hard, making very loud noises. "In this life, I am truly in debt to your Song family. After serving the old, I must serve the young." "Anyway, each of you is more useful than me. What are you looking at? Am I wrong?" Hearing those familiar complaints, my nails dug deep into my palms. In my previous life, after receiving the acceptance notice, I carefully put it in a drawer. I also told my mother over and over again not to touch her arbitrarily. Out of her mouth, my mother agreed very easily. However, when I returned from school to receive my diploma, the room had been ransacked as if a thief had just broken in. I immediately pulled out the desk drawer and discovered that the admission notice was gone. “Mom, where are the things in my drawer?” Hearing my voice, my mother walked in and stuffed me five yuan with a smug look. "After taking the university entrance exam, keeping all those discarded books and papers is just a waste of space." "I sold it all for you. I'm not greedy for your money either, take these five yuan." I immediately opened my eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief. "Who gave you permission to sell my things? You even sold my admission notice!" I threw five coins on the ground, was so angry that my whole body trembled, I lost control and screamed: "Before selling my things, why didn't you tell me? I worked hard for so many years to pass the exam, and now everything has been ruined by you!" A guilty look flashed in her mother's eyes, but immediately she felt sorry for herself and burst into tears. "Mom, I'm not literate, so how do I know that my pile of discarded paper is still useful?" She cried even louder, as if she had suffered a terrible injustice. “Every day, mom follows behind and cleans up after everyone, but no one knows how to sympathize with her!” "I gave all the money from selling the junk to you. Do you need to interrogate me like you would interrogate a prisoner?" My sister, To Tam Dao, stood by the door with her arms crossed, expressing her attitude that the matter had nothing to do with her. "At most, I'll just have to repeat my studies for a year. Is something so small that you make a fuss and make the whole family so unhappy?" "Furthermore, Mom only had good intentions but she messed things up. Why can't you understand her a little?" Dad's face darkened and he suddenly raised his voice. "You really don't understand things like your sister, you don't know how to think about your family at all!" "Even if she's wrong, it's still your mother. Just because of a piece of paper, arguing like this, I think it's worth it if you went to college!" After that, I was forced to go back to school. Every day when I return home, I have to listen to my mother's nagging. “Do you know how much it costs to repeat a year?” “People's children are all out working, just

Do you stay at home and live off your parents without shame? Every time she mentioned it, those words were like a dagger piercing my heart. To Tam Dao even intentionally showed off to me about her university life. Dad just wanted his ears to be quiet so he never spoke up to defend me. Finally, I couldn't stand the pressure, walked to the rooftop and jumped off. If I can live again, I will let them taste the feeling of a knife piercing their own body. I suppressed the hatred in my heart, took my ID and went downstairs. Mom was cleaning the living room floor. As soon as she saw me, she said in a sarcastic voice: "Where are you going to run out to play again?" There are so many things at home, but I don't know how to help my mother share a little." I shook the phone in my hand, hiding the coldness in my voice. "Your admission notice has arrived. Go downstairs to receive it." My mother's eyes rolled around and she began to impatiently urge me: "Then why don't you go get it quickly?" If you're late, they won't give you any more." I suppressed the emotions rolling in my heart and pretended to obediently agree. After closing the door, I immediately regained the smile on my face. This time, no one can destroy my future. After receiving the acceptance notice from the delivery staff, I took it straight to the homeroom teacher's house. The homeroom teacher's house and my house are located in the same residential area. Normally she also cares about me a lot. During a year of studying again in my previous life, she was also the one who always encouraged me. I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. The homeroom teacher opened the door and was a bit surprised when she saw me. “Tong Van, why are you here?” I took out the admission notice and said sincerely: "Miss Tran, can you help me keep the admission notice for a while?" Before the first day of school, I will come pick it up.” She was stunned for a moment. But seeing that my attitude was very serious, she immediately solemnly accepted the admission notice. “Okay, before the first day of school, just come and get it. I will definitely keep it carefully for you.” I relaxed and sincerely bowed my head in thanks. “Thank you Ms. Tran. So please allow me to leave first.” As soon as I got downstairs, I received a phone call from To Tam Dao. He said with an impatient and matter-of-fact tone: "My admission notice has arrived, please go get it for me." The university entrance exam had just ended, To Tam Dao made a fuss and wanted to go on a trip to Sanya. Dad waved his hand and gave it twenty thousand yuan directly. And I didn't get a penny. If I want to buy anything, I have to rely on my part-time job during the summer vacation. If you all don't care about me, then I won't continue to be a fool and let others dictate. I curled my lips slightly and said in a normal tone: "Okay, I'll go now." When I got downstairs, the delivery man had arrived. I presented To Tam Dao's admission paper and smoothly received his admission notice. As soon as she entered the house, her mother immediately approached. She stared at the package in my hand, as if confirming something. “Is this the admission notice?” I nodded, and at the same time secretly opened the camera on my phone. "If you don't have an admission notice, you can't go to university to enroll." I put it in the drawer right in front of her and said seriously: "Mom, absolutely don't touch it yourself. Don't wait until then to ruin it.” Mom rolled her eyes thoughtfully, then glared at me. “Who wants to touch that thing of yours? Preventing your mother is like preventing a thief, she only asked one question!” It seemed that her anger was still not over, so she ran out crying and told her father. “Mom only cared for him a little, but he turned to hate me.” Mom said as she wiped her tears, crying sadly. “You are all educated and talented. In the family, I am the only one who is inferior.” Dad lost patience and rubbed his forehead, his eyes falling on me. “Quickly apologize to your mother. The wings are not yet hardened and they are already so unfilial, what kind of system will there be in the future? I suppressed the emotions in my heart and said softly: "Mom, I don't blame you. I just had the kindness to remind you." I glanced at the drawer and said meaningfully: "If there's no acceptance notice left, then all those years of trying won't be in vain."

g waste?” Seeing my sad expression, my mother's eyes flashed with excitement. “Is it okay to talk kindly like that? I'm your mother, can I still harm you?" I smiled coldly in my heart, but on the outside I still didn't reveal anything. In her previous life, she definitely did that on purpose. The more I care about and love something, the more she wants to destroy it. Watching me suffer and collapse greatly satisfied her desire for control. After breakfast, dad went out to work. He had just left for more than ten minutes when I suddenly received his phone call. “Van Van, dad forgot the contracts in the living room. Please help me put it away." I looked at the document bag on the table and responded, picking it up. Dad was still not reassured and seriously warned: "Definitely don't get dirty." These are all contracts with dad's important customers.” I hid the coldness in my eyes, smiled and said: "Yes, I will definitely keep it carefully." As soon as I picked up the document bag, To Tam Dao returned. He excitedly told his mother about his trip to Sanya. Mom replied nonchalantly, her eyes always glued to the document bag in my hand. “Van Van, what is that thing you are holding?” Seeing that her mother was not paying attention to her, To Tam Dao glared at me dissatisfied. “Isn't it just a torn bag? What is there to brag about?” I covered the bag behind my back and said seriously: "This is a very important item, you absolutely must not lose it." Having finished speaking, I walked to the front of the desk, pulled out the drawer and put the document bag inside. “Mom, absolutely don't touch the things in this drawer.” Mom pretended not to care, turned away, and said in a disgusted voice: "Okay, okay. Your things are precious, a mother like me can't even touch them." She pouted, sighed and said: "In this life, I am truly serving a group of unjust people. Carrying feces and urine to feed the adults, in the end, anything good was hidden from me." I stood in place, frantically waving my hands. “Mom, I didn't mean that.” Seeing how scared I was, my mother finally let it go and returned to her room while cursing. I bowed my head and looked into the drawer. To Tam Dao's bag containing documents and admission notice was neatly placed inside. I took a photo with my phone and gently pushed the drawer in. Then, I took out the tiny camera I bought online from my bag and placed it in a position facing straight into the drawer. I have already said all the words that need to be said. Mom, don't disappoint me. After finishing everything, I went to my part-time job during summer vacation. During lunch break, I opened the monitoring software. I saw my mother standing in front of my room door. First, she looked left and then right. After confirming that I wasn't home, she went straight to the desk and pulled out that drawer. Her eyes were full of satisfaction. She picked up the document bag and the admission notice inside.
