Knowing they might soon face an unpredictable and tragic fate, the three Luo daughters hid in their rooms and sobbed.

Many people in this courtyard know about the Luo family's affairs.

Now everyone's avoiding their house; only debt collectors will come knocking.

They used to think that this family treated Luo Zixi unfairly, but after getting to know them better, they realized that although the family seemed respectable on the surface, they were actually quite despicable.

What are all these things, one end at a time?

None of them are good...

Over time, people naturally drifted away from them.

Nobody in the courtyard wants to talk to them anymore.

It turned out that Luo's father had a good job and was considered a very skilled technician, so he had a relatively high status in the factory. Therefore, everyone recommended him to become the manager.

But now, he's lost his job, his family is in a mess, and his family has done so many shameless things.

After everyone found out, they felt that given Luo's father's moral character and conduct, he was not qualified to be a steward, so they voted to remove him from his position.

As a result, the Luo family's standing in everyone's eyes plummeted.

No one will talk to them anymore, and they won't think of them when good things happen.

This huge disparity undoubtedly made the Luo family members even more uneasy.

Adding to the gloom and despair that Mr. Luo said today, the whole family seems to be shrouded in gloom and despair.

Actually, Luo's father had his own agenda. He knew that every educated youth who volunteered to go to the countryside would receive a subsidy.

His three daughters can receive three subsidies, which is quite a lot of money.

He has a very important use for this money!

Daughters will get married sooner or later; they're like water spilled from a cup.

Mr. Luo felt that since he had raised them for so long, it was time for them to play a role!

The next morning, Luo's father kicked his daughters out of the house and told them to go find work.

But where are jobs so easy to find? They couldn't find any suitable work for several days in a row, and the next batch of educated youth was about to go to the countryside.

Therefore, Mr. Luo was extremely anxious. He felt that he could not wait any longer and should register his daughter's name first to get a subsidy.

So, disregarding the lives of his daughters, he secretly took their files to the educated youth office...

He said he wanted to sign up his daughter for the rural assignment and, while he was at it, check when the subsidies for educated youth who volunteered to go to the countryside would arrive.

When he asked about it, the clerk's face immediately darkened.

"Hey comrade, what's going on? Didn't you just register two days ago? The subsidy has already been given to you, and you even signed for it yourself!"

"Look, you even signed your own name here! You think taking the subsidy once isn't enough, and now you want to extort more? Let me tell you, I've seen plenty of people like you. If you dare to cause trouble like this again, I'll call the police and have you arrested!"

Hearing the clerk's words, and then looking at the application materials with a signature exactly like his own, Mr. Luo was stunned...

What's going on?

I've never been here before, but the other person recognized me at a glance. Could it be that someone impersonated me and came to register their daughters?

If you can sign up, then sign up. But if you steal their subsidies, how are you going to account for that?

This matter certainly cannot be left unresolved. I wonder if the clerk here said this on purpose, trying to steal their subsidy!

So, Luo's father didn't care about anything else and started making a scene, which immediately alarmed the entire educated youth office.

However, after learning what had happened, the people in the educated youth office were not to be trifled with. They quickly had Luo's father arrested and taken to the police station.

For allegedly causing trouble and obstructing official business, Luo's father was inexplicably detained for several days.

The women of the Luo family panicked.

After all, Luo's father is now the pillar of the family, and with him arrested, the family is completely broken up.

Fortunately, he was only detained for a few days before being released.

However, when the daughters learned why their father had been arrested, they felt like the sky was falling.

It turns out that the father forced them to go to the countryside not because he couldn't afford to support them, but simply because he wanted the small subsidy they would receive!

What kind of father is this? How can he be so heartless?

The key point is, I haven't even received the money yet!

The daughters all objected at this point:

"Dad, how could you do this? Those subsidies are ours. You're throwing a tantrum and acting like a scoundrel just to avoid giving us the money. Are you even our father?"

"That's right, Dad. We were really looking for jobs, but now that you've enrolled us, it's impossible for us to stay. What are we going to do?"

"Never mind all that for now. Going to the countryside is a done deal. Just give us some of your allowance as soon as possible. Even if you're going to keep some money for yourself, give us our share first!"

“Going to the countryside requires money to buy things and prepare. We can’t go empty-handed, how can we survive?”

"Dad, are you trying to kill us out there? Hurry up and give us the allowance! Where are you hiding it?"

Faced with his daughters' questions, Mr. Luo was truly speechless with grief, feeling utterly innocent.

Yes, he did intend to hide the money, but he originally thought that he would leave some money for his daughters to help them with household chores and send them to the countryside, and that would be the end of it.

After they went to the countryside, he acted as if he didn't have these daughters anymore. He needed money, and he had a very important use for it!

But now, he hasn't gotten the money, and he's also offended his daughters terribly. What is he going to do now?

“My dear daughter, I really didn’t take any money. Someone impersonated me to register you and then swindled all the money. Or maybe the clerk there said that on purpose, fabricated some evidence for us, and then stole our subsidy money.”

"I really didn't hide the money. If I had it, I would have bought you all some belongings long ago. Why would you be suffering here? I only made a scene at the educated youth office because I didn't receive the money!"

Hearing what Luo's father said, the daughters were somewhat convinced at first. However, after thinking about Luo's father's usual personality, the daughters felt that he might actually do such a thing!

And so, the chill in their hearts deepened even further...

They pleaded and begged, and even resorted to threats and inducements, but they couldn't get Mr. Luo to reveal where the money was.

But it wasn't that Luo's father didn't want to tell him; he genuinely didn't know where the money had gone.

In the end, all the daughters left in tears, feeling that their future was bleak and their return home was hopeless.

Life in the countryside is so difficult. These pampered girls who are used to living in the city absolutely cannot endure it. They might even die out there.

Besides, they are penniless now, what will they do in the days to come?
