Chapter 8 — Mother's Application for Money

“I tell you, if you die on the street in the future, don't expect me to come pick up your body!” “Convenient, you will regret it!” Before leaving, she also snatched my phone and transferred the last hundred yuan in my account. I wasn't angry, on the contrary, I felt relieved. It turns out that all it takes is one hundred yuan to cut off all ties with her. So cheap. After my mother left school, I deleted my old WeChat and got a new bank card. I didn't dare contact Aunt Lam, afraid that my mother wouldn't be too greedy and would bother them. It wasn't until a month later that I dared to borrow my roommate's phone to call my aunt: "Auntie Lam, it's me, I'm Gia Di." The other end of the phone was silent for a long time before speaking: "Gia Di, are you living well these days? Are you eating enough? Are you still going to school? Your mother won't force you to drop out of school, will she?" I couldn't hold back my tears and rolled down. Even though I knew I had changed my mind and refused to donate bone marrow. Even though my son could lose his chance to live at any time. But she still maintained her sincere concern for me. I choked up: "I'm fine, Aunt Lam... I called you to say..." "Now I can donate bone marrow to Tieu Loi. I don't need a penny!" Three days later, I went to the hospital on time for a stimulant injection. Very quickly, the bone marrow donation went smoothly, and thanks to that, Tieu Loi's life was saved. When she woke up, she innocently called me: "Thank you, thank you!" I patted her head, suddenly smiling. It turns out that being a younger brother can also be very lovely and very warm. It turns out that being a sister can also be respected and thanked. Aunt Lam insisted on giving me ten thousand, but I refused. “If you keep going like this, I won't dare contact you again…” In the end, she still secretly transferred fifty thousand to my card. Based on that money, I studied hard and lived peacefully for the past two years. In my fourth year, Uncle Tan helped me find a very good internship. I moved out of the dormitory and rented a house near the company. Aunt Lam always invited me to come stay with her at the villa, but I refused. I'm afraid of bringing them more trouble, because I've bothered them too much. I don't know where my mother heard the news, she knew I was starting to make money, and not much more. She kept calling to apologize, saying things like regret and admitting mistakes. But in response to my cold attitude, my father finally got angry: "Your mother has already apologized, what else do you want?" "Go ask yourself, does anyone's family have a daughter like you?" I was too lazy to argue, so I hung up and blocked the number. Even if they sue me in court in the future, in addition to the legal alimony, I will never turn back. After that, my phone continuously received threatening messages. I definitely changed my number, the new world is truly quiet. On graduation day, I was honored as an excellent student and walked up to the podium to receive the last degree in my student life. The instructor tearfully handed me the certificate. In thanks, I headed towards the bottom, where Aunt Lam and Uncle Tan were sitting. And even Tieu Loi - insisted on running up to the stage to give me flowers. The photographer from the student union carried his camera and ran over: "Sister, let me take a family photo!" I hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Aunt Lam and Uncle Tan. She proactively took my shoulder and pulled Tieu Loi to stand in front: "Okay! We're still missing a family photo!" She emphasized the words family photo clearly. Tears immediately filled my eyes, but I tried to control my breathing and not let my makeup slip. Family photos must be beautiful. In the flash light, I held Aunt Lam's hand tightly, smiling towards the camera. Reviewing the photos, she even carefully saved a backup copy. On the last day of college, Aunt Lam offered to adopt me as her adopted daughter. Tieu Loi

She jumped into my arms and cooed: "Sister, will you be my sister for life?" I nodded strongly: "Yes, we are family for life!" In the remaining years, we will take many, many family photos.—— End.【Full text】
