"Director Tao, how is your daughter?!"

"She's our own child. Just like Sister Luo said, we've raised her to this age. Can we just watch her die?! It's not good for a little girl to be away from home. It's better to give her some more money to support herself."

"Oh, my son is from the countryside, and I have to send him ten or ten yuan every few months so that he can exchange some eggs for some food to supplement his body, or if the food rations are not enough, I can exchange some food rations for some food. Otherwise, what should I do if I starve?!"

"That's right. We all get paid. We get a dozen yuan a month, or twenty or thirty yuan a half year. We can still afford it. The child is no longer in front of us, and we have raised him to such a big age. We can't let him live a worse life than at home, right?!"

"Especially for a girl, if you are not in good health, you can't go out. Which production team is willing to do that?! Even if the better production team knows your situation, they can't always give you leave, right?! If you take too many leave, you won't get more food. The production team can't always borrow food, even if everyone borrows. So this money still needs to be given to the children, and it can't be used to buy food."

"What Sister Luo said just now is very right. Girls need to use that paper every month, and that costs money. We all work in the hospital, so we can't afford the one from the Overseas Chinese Store, but we still need to use paper."

"Director Tao, how much money are you going to give Aihua?! I heard that the food she eats now is lent to her by the production team. She is in poor health and can't do much during the autumn harvest. The Northeast only harvests grain once a year, so she will definitely not get any food this year. There is still a year to next year, and we have to think of a way to give her food this year. We can't just throw the child to the production team, right?!"

"In addition to food, there are also nutrition fees. Sickness costs money, and paper also costs money. It's so cold over there, and the clothes and shoes are not warm enough?!"

"Don't say so much. The child is still waiting for Director Tao to send money. Director Tao, please go and send the money to your daughter. We will help you cover the shift."

"Yes, yes, Director Tao, go quickly, it will be quick to transfer the money."

…

There are many female colleagues in this office, almost all of them are married and have children. I have heard about Director Tao's family affairs for a long time, and then Tao Aihua made a scene again. Aren't they all gossipy? !

Just now, they all heard that Director Tao's daughter is now living a miserable life in the village. She is sick and has no money. The head of the production team even called her personally to tell her about it. If it were them, they would feel ashamed.

Tao Min now feels ashamed, and he also knows what others say about him behind his back. But it is also difficult, he can only take care of this and not that. The eldest daughter is the oldest, she should be sensible and obedient, instead of opposing him and making things difficult and upsetting for him.

In fact, after the eldest daughter came home, 놛놆 was relieved. The atmosphere at home improved, and there were no more quarrels or cross-eyed people.

But sometimes, I feel guilty about being the eldest daughter of this hometown.

"Director Tao, where are you going?! I just heard from your eldest daughter that she called?! Is she okay?! Is she not cold or hungry in the countryside?! It's not easy for a little girl to live in the countryside, you have to take care of her."

Not long after walking out of the office, Tao Min ran into the old dean of the hospital who was going to retire this year and was on inspection. The old dean asked a few questions with concern.

"Old Dean, I was just about to ask you for a leave to send her some money."

Tao Min originally wanted to go home later to discuss it with his wife, and then ask his wife to send money to his daughter. Unexpectedly, he met the old dean, who was concerned about this matter.

"Okay, go ahead. By the way, do you have enough money?! It just so happens that that guy just paid me back 100 yuan today. Can you send it to the child first and pay me back tomorrow?!"

Unexpectedly, after showing concern, the old dean enthusiastically and generously took out money from his pocket and stuffed it into Tao Min's pocket, then waved his hand and told him to go to the post office quickly.

Tao Min: “…”

I can see that everyone seems to think that I am not good to my daughter and don't care about her.

However, he didn't say anything in the end. He took the money given by the old dean and left in a hurry.

After class, Luo Meiling returned home and quickly told her mother about this.

"Okay, then I'll go and ask around tomorrow to see how much money Director Tao has remitted to Xiao Tao."

Zhang Lu also knew about the Tao family's affairs, mainly because the two families lived next door to each other and worked in the same hospital.

Zhang Lu also felt that it was wrong and even abnormal for Tao Min to ignore his eldest daughter.

Originally, a little girl who lost her mother should be taken care of more, but in the end, not only did he help others raise their daughter, but he also let his own daughter give way to others? !

No wonder the daughter-in-law not only looked down on the Tao family, but also secretly took care of Tao Aihua. The child without a mother is too pitiful.

"Tao Min is such a bad guy. He can buy a temporary job for his stepdaughter, why not for his own child?! If you want to go back to the village, go together, or don't go. It's hard to share the same bowl of water. No wonder Aihua hates him."

"You don't know, Aunt Qiao said that Aihua didn't want to live anymore. I was too busy with the autumn harvest, so I couldn't tell everyone to pay more attention to Aihua, and I didn't dare to leave her side."

"That's not the case, is it?! Why does this kid think that?!"

When Zhang Lu heard Tao Aihua say that she didn't want to live anymore, he was shocked and couldn't believe his ears.

놛I don't think these things are a big deal, right?! I won't commit suicide.

"What do you know?! The person who is treated like this is not you. Moreover, you think like a man, but girls think differently. They are not valued at home. Aihua has lost her biological mother, her stepmother is not good to her, and her biological father ignores her. This is equivalent to losing her mother and not having a father. What hope is there in this life?! There is no place for her in this family. Where can she go in the future?! The strong ones can still get through it. For those who can't think straight, anything is possible."

Luo Meiling grew up as a little girl, and she understood little girls' thoughts best. Even though she couldn't feel their own feelings, she could at least understand them to about 60%.

She had already sensed it the day Tao Aihua learned that she was being exiled. Otherwise, she couldn't have found someone to help her change her place of residence, and she was asked to go to Aunt Qiao when she had difficulties and troubles? !

Human life is at stake.

Zhang Lu understood.
