Chapter 2 — Little Fish Swimming Towards Freedom

"Tch! Don't you want to send your daughter to school, do you want to force her to work at the electronics factory?" The people of the electronics factory heard the movement, turned and roared at the parents: "In the end, does your child want to go to college or go to the factory?" "If your child doesn't come, then there will be no one else who wants to come! Our contract is cancelled! Here's the money!" The younger sister pouted dissatisfiedly: "If she doesn't go to the factory, how can I pay?" game and go to the concert!” Mom quickly stopped the other person: “Go to the factory! My child will definitely go to the factory!” “Don't! I really have a way!” The man from the electronics factory clearly didn't believe it. The next second, I heard my mother shout loudly to the supervisor: "Teacher! I denounce Han Ngu for cheating. He has prepared a lot of documents, all hidden in his clothes!"4 My whole body broke out in a cold sweat. Unexpectedly, my mother wanted to use the old trick again! My hand gently reached into my bag, touching a pile of crumpled paper. Looking at my tense appearance, my mother proudly laughed. The supervisor walked towards me step by step, his sharp eyes staring at me. Very quickly, the supervisor took me out to check my body. Ten minutes later, her face softened and she held up a piece of white paper in front of everyone: "There are no fraudulent documents, just a piece of toilet paper. Don't worry, everyone!" I breathed a sigh of relief. Having suffered a loss once, I will not let myself suffer a second time. Before leaving the house, I discovered those documents and hastily exchanged them. I was about to go back to continue doing my homework when I heard my mother shout loudly: "He has a criminal record! He is still on probation! Completely ineligible to register!" Everyone was stunned. The National Defense University has never allowed people with criminal records to register. I was just about to open my mouth to scold her for slander, but right after that, my mother took out a notice of suspended sentence and handed it to the supervisor: "After the university exam, Han Ngu gathered to fight, causing one death and two injuries. He was sentenced to two years in prison but was given a suspended sentence. This is a notice issued by the police! You can go check it out!" "I still have photos of the fight scene!" I was stunned. The person in the photo fighting is indeed me, but that photo was from two years ago, and this incident ended a long time ago. The person who gathered to fight after the university entrance exam was not me, but my sister! Tears filled his eyes. Only then did I belatedly realize it. No wonder my sister was able to come back safe and sound... It turns out they blamed me... Now they even pieced together evidence to slander me. I smiled mournfully. What my mother didn't know was that that year I fought with my classmates because they spoke ill of her and said extremely unpleasant words. I risked my life to fight them in order to protect her. As for the good daughter she loved, at that time, because she wanted to fit in with everyone, she followed her friends and scolded her. How ridiculous. The noise around me was endless, but I only heard my own voice: "Why... Aren't you my daughter..." Mom couldn't hold back her smile anymore, seriously said: "Tieu Ngu... You can't go to college anymore, but your sister still has to study..." "If she has a criminal record, her whole life will be ruined!" "After all, you're still a minor, going to work at an electronics factory won't check this matter... Tieu Ngu... Give your sister one time..." Parents, boyfriend, scholarship money... I gave it all to her. Do I have to give up the future that I risked my life to win for him? I suddenly spit out a large mouthful of blood. Thinking about the dull pain in my stomach since my dad kicked me yesterday, I started to panic. I quickly hugged my stomach and ran towards the hospital

institute. Unexpectedly, my parents stopped me. Mom desperately hugged me as I wanted to run forward, unable to hold back any longer: "Are you planning to take part in some exam again? Is it so difficult to tell you to settle down?" "Normal is happiness! You're so aggressive, everywhere you want to be one step higher than your sister, you won't be happy in the future, daughter!" "If you become successful, others will definitely compare your sister to you! She's so arrogant. I won't be able to raise my head as a human from now on! Can you give it up? I beg you!" I smiled bitterly. Haven't I given it enough? Is it only when I die that they will be satisfied? The pain in my stomach became more and more intense, I struggled harder and harder: "Let me go!" "The other hundred thousand I don't need anymore, it's like I've paid back my parents for raising me! From now on we break our relationship!" Dad got angry. "Repay? You think very well!" "The money has been paid! But what about our gratitude for giving birth and raising you? Your mother had to suffer for a whole day and a night in the delivery room to bring you to the world." hey!” “How do you pay for those things! As long as we're still here, don't you dare take the exam!” Thinking of the pain of the past, it was like she grasped my weakness:
