Chapter 4 — I Do Bac Dai, They Don't Know

07

I'm annoyed with sarcasm:

"Care? On Han doesn't even know how to use the washing machine, nor how to cook. Normally, who takes care of whom?"

At home, On Han never does housework. Mother's face stiffened. Then, she angrily shouted:

"Damn brat, what nonsense are you talking about? Your sister is just not good at doing housework. Anyway, tomorrow you have to go to the milk tea shop to work. That's right, I told the boss, your salary will be transferred directly to my account."

I am eighteen years old. She didn't want to raise me, she wanted me to make money for her. The family basically doesn't lack that bit of money. This is my mother. Since childhood, I have never received my mother's love. I used to think it was because I wasn't good that she didn't love me. That makes me still hold hope for her. Now, I can see clearly. She never considered me a daughter. I secretly sent a text message to my grandmother. She quickly called. I told her that my mother wanted me to work to earn money to support the family. The angry grandmother scolded directly on the phone:

"Hua Yen Hong, are you bankrupt? How old is Nhiem Nhiem and you're forcing her to earn money? If you can't take care of her, then let Nhiem Nhiem return to her hometown, my mother will raise her!"

Grandma knows I'm not loved at home. Every winter and summer break, she called me back to her hometown. This year, because I had to take the university entrance exam and wait to fill out my application, I didn't go. Otherwise, I would have returned to her side a long time ago. After ending the call, Tuan Can came to me.

"Nhiem Nhiem, it's good for you to go back to your hometown. When I return home, I'll come pick you up and go out for a few days."

I raised my head to look at him. This was the guy I thought would always treat me well. When I get sick, only he worries. When I'm hungry, he'll sneak me snacks. Even when I had my period, he was the only one who made red sugar water for me to drink. I used to like him so much. But he had completely become someone I no longer recognized. I shook my head, disappointed and replied:

“You don't need me to come pick you up.”

After speaking, I returned to the room. I brought out the box I had packed earlier, inside were all the things he had given me, and threw them down in front of him.

"We're really not compatible. Let's break up."

Tuan Can immediately stood still. When he regained consciousness, his face turned pale:

"On Nhiem, it's useless for you to continue threatening us with the breakup. This time I absolutely won't take you on a trip abroad."

I don't continue to argue with him. I went downstairs to buy some things for my grandmother. The next morning, I carried my luggage and left the On family's house. I lived there for three years, but other than books, all my belongings were only enough for a suitcase. Besides uniforms, I only have two sets of clothes to change into each season. Previously, Tuan Can once criticized me for not knowing how to dress. But every month my mother only gives me three hundred yuan, just enough money for food. If I want to buy study materials, I have to pick up scraps and sell them for money. Not like On Han. Every time the season changes, my mother buys her some new clothes. There are also many designer handbags and shoes in the room. The room that originally belonged to me was occupied by On Han as a reading room. I could only stay in the storage room, there wasn't even a window. Day two After I returned home, On Han updated social networks again. The content is just one simple sentence:

“Going on a trip abroad.”

Attached is a photo taken at the boarding gate. She even deliberately mentioned my name in the post. No need to guess, I know how pleased and happy she is right now. But I just stayed silent for a second and then commented:

“Sister, the scenery in the country is also very beautiful.”

I conveniently took a photo of myself pulling weeds in the field. In just a few short minutes, the number of likes on my comment continued to increase. There are even many people commenting:

"Two sisters, one traveling abroad, the other working in the countryside. The contrast is so clear."

"Why does the older sister only worry about going out without calling her younger sister? Surely the parents are biased."

“Is the person next to her her boyfriend?”

“Is it possible that your sister's boyfriend is also stolen by her sister?”

When Wen Han's plane landed, she opened her phone and saw those comments. The moment she realized that bragging wouldn't work, and on the contrary, she would be scolded, she angrily deleted the post. Very quickly, I received a text message from Tuan Can.

"I texted you as soon as I got there. I know you said goodbye yesterday just because you were angry, I won't take it to heart. When I return home, I will come to my grandmother's house to pick you up."

"That's right, when you're in the countryside, remember to be safe and don't work too hard."
