Jiang's father had initially not allowed visitors. Jiang Yan and her mother could only see him during court sessions. Thinking that after so many years, it was the first time her father would not be able to spend the New Year with his family, Jiang Yan felt particularly sad.
Unexpectedly, they were allowed to visit before the new year, and they could even bring things.
Jiang Yan immediately called her mother, telling her she was going to buy some things for her father and would bring them tomorrow. Da Feng Novel Network.
Jiang's mother was also very happy to hear this news and hurried to prepare some items to take to her husband. Considering the current situation of the Jiang family, Jiang's mother's tears couldn't stop falling.
At this moment, Jiang's mother received a phone call.
...
Jiang Yan bought many things for her father, including food, daily necessities, and clothes. Jiang's mother looked up at her daughter when she saw her carrying large bags and packages.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Jiang Yan noticed that her mother's mood was off.
"Yan Yan, your sister just called. She said... she said she can't come back for the New Year this year."
"Oh, if she's not coming back, then she's not coming back. She didn't come back last year or the year before either," Jiang Yan replied indifferently.
Her relationship with her elder sister had always been mediocre, with little affection. She had a good relationship with her elder brother, who doted on her.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Yan asked, seeing her mother hesitating to speak.
"Your sister wants money for living expenses and tuition." Jiang's mother sighed.
"How much is it in total?" Jiang Yan asked.
"For half a year, living expenses and tuition combined are one million," Jiang's mother said.
Jiang Yan burst out laughing. "Mom, we don't have that much money anymore. Tell her to figure it out herself. If she can't figure it out, she can drop out and come back."
Jiang Yan felt that she and her sister Jiang Huan were perhaps naturally incompatible. Everyone in the family knew that Jiang Huan was a two-faced person, her attitude towards them being completely different from her demeanor outside.
"She only has half a year left until graduation. We can't let her give up halfway," Jiang's mother said with a frown.
"Then find a way to get her one million yourself. I definitely don't have it. I'm working a part-time job for a hundred yuan a day, which is just enough for us to eat," Jiang Yan said and then went to take a shower. She had never done strenuous work before. Although she didn't say it, standing for eight hours every day was exhausting her. Da Feng Novel.
Jiang's mother looked at her daughter helplessly, wanting to speak several times but stopping herself. Jiang Yan pretended not to see it, asked her mother to go back to her room to sleep early, and then went back to her own room.
Back in her room, Jiang Yan lay on the bed and tears began to fall. In fact, since childhood, her mother had always favored her elder sister more, always making her yield to her sister. The fault was always hers, and her sister was always right.
Now she was really tired and sometimes scared. The Jiang family was in such a state, yet her mother hadn't thought of asking her sister and brother to help carry some of the burden, leaving her to face everything alone.
The next day, Jiang Yan took the items for her father and went out, ignoring her mother's apparent desire to say something. Jiang's mother could not go to see Jiang's father now; half of her face was numb and twitched involuntarily. She didn't want her father to see her and worry.
Before going in to see her father, Jiang Yan took a deep breath, put on a bright smile, and then walked in.
Jiang's father had lost a lot of weight, but fortunately, his health was okay. Jiang Yan put down the items for him, urged him to take care of himself, and told him not to worry, that she would take good care of their mother.
Jiang's father looked at his daughter, who had clearly matured, his heart filled with complex emotions. He smiled and told her to live well.
