Chapter 4 — Cotton Slippers Arrive Late

Until one day, Vuong Lang Huy said in the group that he had to play an extra match unexpectedly. "Mom, this weekend the coach suddenly forced me to play an extra match. Mom and dad, who can come?" Normally, when I send a text message, she doesn't respond for several hours. This time, she responded very quickly: "Your father has to go meet a customer this weekend. Your sister has to go to a piano competition, I have to go with her. Bao Vuong Nguyet will follow and take care of you." Until this time. They just discovered that I seemed to have been silent for too long. 5 Mom immediately mentioned my name in the group: "Vuong Nguyet, when you saw the message, speak up. Your brother has to play more, come take care of him for a bit." Still the same tone, still the same words. In the past, whenever she asked like that, I always answered "yes" immediately. But this time, I didn't say a word. I turned off the phone screen and locked the phone in a drawer. By the time work was done, several hours had passed. I was eating rice and turned on my phone. Sure enough, the group was in chaos. At first, it was her mother's condemnation: "Vuong Nguyet, you pretend to be stupid, what do you mean by staying silent and not saying anything?" "Did you hear what I said? Your brother has not treated you badly since childhood. You came over to help him a little, giving him a towel and water is not tiring..." But the same thing, she did not have the heart to call Vuong Lam away. Seeing that I was still silent, she got angry and started not choosing her words in the group: "Knowing that you wouldn't listen like that, I wouldn't have raised you before. After raising you again and again, you raised me into a white-eyed wolf!" Vuong Lam's older sister just in time added fuel to the fire: "Mom, stop being angry. I heard that my classmates who just finished their twelfth grade exams are busy falling in love. No matter how many times my sister hits me, she still can't make a single sound. Doesn't it mean she fell in love early?" Hearing the two words "love." soon,” my father spoke up. Still the familiar tone: "Vuong Nguyet, if you dare to spend my money, study with a group of girls who are not good enough to raise boyfriends, then get out of my house!" Looking at this, Vuong Lang Huy finally couldn't sit still anymore. He sent a text message: "Well, if everyone else doesn't go, then don't go. You can take care of yourself." Mom disagreed: "How can that be? The other players all have people to take care of them, but you alone don't have one, does it look like anything?" Having said that, she mentioned my name again: "Vuong Nguyet, if you still don't talk, do you believe I'll cut off your living expenses? Don't even ask me for your college tuition!" Again. Over the past few years, I have only slightly resisted her orders. Just I have a little question. She will use the killer move. The first is to cut living expenses, the second is to cut tuition and other expenses. I have held back time and time again. But this time, I don't want to hold back anymore. For the first time, I mentioned her name in the group: "Mom, if you want to cut living expenses or tuition fees, it's up to you. I'm not studying at a college, and I won't be your daughter in the future." "Whether it's taking care of Vuong Lang Huy in the soccer match, or wearing shoes, or bringing music to Vuong Lam, all of that has nothing to do with me. Wishing everyone a family of four as they wish." Throwing that sentence back, I exited the interface and looked for the button to delete the group chat. Definitely press down. At that moment, I felt something heavy that had been weighing on me for a long time suddenly completely collapsed. I put the phone back on the table. Pick up the spoon, scoop up a large spoonful of chicken, forcefully stuff it into your mouth. I slowly chewed and swallowed, then tears flowed down from the corners of my eyes. The boss saw but said nothing. Just turned around and scooped me another large spoonful of diced chicken. "If you want to eat, eat a little more. Other things don't exist, but chicken is filling." I live thousands of kilometers away from them. Completely

Without knowing it, there was chaos in the house that caused a landslide. After receiving my text message, my mother was so angry that she went crazy. As soon as she got off work, she immediately rushed home, preparing to teach me a lesson. After changing her slippers, she rolled up her sleeves and kept cursing: "Vuong Nguyet, where the hell are you? Come out!" "All day long, you refused to study properly, only knew how to hang out with a group of unruly students, and said such impious words. You want to anger me..." The moment she opened the door, she was stunned. The whole room was empty. There were no people, not even blankets. She rushed to the closet, opened the door, and the inside was completely empty. She bent down again and looked under the bed. The twenty-inch suitcase that was placed there was gone. Her whole body staggered, her hands shook and she began to call her father: "Hello, Mr. Vuong, little Vuong Nguyet left home..." Seven o'clock in the evening. Parents drove to the homeroom teacher's house. As soon as he clarified the situation, the homeroom teacher smiled and shook his head, interrupting them: "You two parents, you are wrong." "Vuong Nguyet did not run away from home, but went to National Defense University to enroll. The admission notice was also delivered to her by me." 6 Dad opened his eyes wide, almost in disbelief. It took a long time to react: "National Defense University? Is that a key national university..."
