Chapter 1 — Mom Chooses Brother, I Choose Freedom

I won the jackpot, winning 18 million yuan. I excitedly ran home, intending to tell my mother the good news. Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down, my mother said first: "Tu Hue, tomorrow you will go with me to the notary office and sign the land transfer papers." I was confused: "Change name? Change name to what? Change name to whom?" My mother glanced at me: "Our two houses, of course, were transferred to your brother. Could they be given to anyone else?" I was shocked: "Mom, the two houses... why did they all go to my brother? If it's fair, I also..." Before I could finish my sentence, my mother put her chopsticks on the table and loudly said: "Truong Tu Hue! Remember carefully, our Truong family's furniture is all your brother's, it has nothing to do with you, not even a penny!" 1 I tightened my grip on the lottery ticket in my pocket: "Then let's make it fair, let your brother take care of the matter of taking care of your parents in the future!" My mother immediately stood up, pointed at my forehead and scolded: "Truong Tu Hue, have you studied to the point that your brain has turned to mush? Just for the sake of two houses, even my biological mother doesn't need it anymore!" I still sat still, without blinking and replied: "Isn't it true that you don't need me first?" "I don't need you? I starved myself and raised you like this, and even sent you to college!" My mother put her hands on her hips and raised her voice. I objected: "Raising my child to go to college? Mom, my college tuition is all from student loans, I will slowly pay it off after I get a job!" The day I received my university admission notice, my mother calmly said: "You're grown up, if you want to study, you can take care of it yourself." I worked all summer vacation and struggled to collect enough tuition. Before I could pay it, my brother secretly took it away and gambled, losing it all and not having any money left. Mom said it was an "investment", if they won, the whole family's life would change. I'm just sorry for my bad luck, so I lost. Mom looked at me again with the same hateful eyes as before: "So you think you grew up on water for the past eighteen years? I didn't raise you?" "For a family, I don't even need family, people like you, selfish and petty! I would rather give birth to a rock than give birth to you!" My nose is stinging. All the warm feelings in my heart suddenly overflowed. "From childhood to adulthood, I do all the housework at home! My brother doesn't have to touch anything!" I glanced: "Whose house has the daughter not doing housework? If you force your beloved son to do the work, aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you when you go out?" "I asked for money to buy reference books, but my mother didn't give it to me. I turned around and gave my brother the money to go play on the Internet!" My mother glared at me again: "Your brother is looking up documents online! What documents are you looking for that you can't find online, and you still insist on buying expensive books?" "After dad passed away, mom even cut off my dance class..." Before I could finish, my mom interrupted: "Truong Tu Hue, are you awake? Your dad is dead, where does this family have the money to let you take dance lessons?" I burst into tears: "And yet mom turned around and spent fifty thousand to register for an international summer camp for my brother!" Mother calmly said: "How can they be the same? Your brother is a boy, boys should be allowed to go out and open their eyes!" "And what are you learning to dance for? Seducing men?" "Mom! That's enough!" – my heart felt like it was completely collapsed. My mother also lost patience and waved her hand: "Okay, okay, I don't want to talk to a useless person like you anymore. Tomorrow, go sign the transfer papers and be done!" My mother also passed away patiently, waved his hand and said: "Okay, I won't say much more to you. Tomorrow, go sign the transfer for me and it's done!" "Because of this procedure, I had to run to so many places. If your father was still alive, I would never have had to ask a white-eyed person like you to sign my signature. I would have sent it directly to your brother!" I laughed coldly: "If dad was still alive, he would absolutely not favor boys and girls like mom!" Mom was so angry that she raised her hand to slap me, but her hand hung in the air for a while and still didn't hit me. "In short, you go sign with me tomorrow. After all, I'm still your mother, this is still your house. Before your brother gets married, you can still continue to stay." I felt even colder: "Mom, what do you mean? This house will be transferred to me. After I get married, I won't be able to live anymore?" My mother had a matter-of-fact look on her face: "The eldest daughter can't stay in the house forever, quickly find someone to take it, if you want a house, let the man take care of it, tell someone to buy it for you!" "Your brother is married, you are an unmarried girl and keep staying in someone else's house. Will his wife be happy in the future?" "What if he's not happy? Are you going to tell him to send me away? Truong Tu Hue, you're not a kid anymore, you have to be more reasonable!" I choked, looking at the person who had lived with me for more than twenty years, a cold feeling filled my heart. I sighed, glanced at the house I had lived in for more than twenty years, and the cold feeling in my heart rose to its peak. I squeezed the sky-high lottery ticket in my pocket and took a deep breath. "If you want me to sign, that's fine, but it has to be a bit fair. My brother has full authority to take care of the care for his old age in the future!" My mother was about to say something, but I took the opportunity to say: "I don't need anything in the house. There is only one request: from now on, well water does not violate river water!" She slapped her hand on her thigh: "Are you really determined to break up with your mother? I raised you this much, you don't want to raise me to old age? You're an ungrateful thing!"{Read full on page Van ha loves love} I guessed right, my mother intended to give all the house to my brother, but the matter of taking care of her was pushed towards me. "Go away! Get out of my house now!" Mom got mad and pushed me out the door. The gossiping neighbors had gathered outside, waiting to see what was going on. Seeing me being kicked out, they awkwardly smiled at me and then walked around me to my mother, listening to her cry and talk about her unfilial daughter. 2 I left home and found a hotel to sleep temporarily. I should have felt very sad, but seeing the lottery ticket in my pocket, I was no longer sad. At first I thought, with this much money, I would buy a villa, buy a car, and take my mother to live happily. Then I gave my brother a few million to do business, got married, and the whole family happily lived together. Maybe God loves me and chose this night to expose my mother's true thoughts. In her eyes, I was just a girl, a lost product, and when I got married, I was even more of an outsider. I understand, my father passed away, my family's situation is not very good, and it will be more difficult for my brother to get married than others. If there's only one house in the house, I definitely won't compete. But clearly there are two families, so the care should be divided equally between both children. I don't understand, why do both houses have to be given to him, just because he is a boy? I sent a text message to my boss asking for leave, saying I had to go collect my bonus tomorrow. Stories If you can't think clearly, don't think anymore. Anyway, I have money. I prepare to go to bed early, get enough rest to leave early tomorrow morning. The phone rang, it was my aunt calling. "Hello, Tu Hue? It's not that I blame you, but why did you make your mother angry like that?" "Your mother has been raising the child alone with your older brother for so many years, suffering so much, why don't you think about her a little?" Thinking that my aunt and I were normally not that bad, I tried to control myself and said: "Auntie, my mother insisted on transferring both houses to my brother, so I..."
