At this moment, Shen Qingwei fell into deep silence, his heart filled with endless sadness and helplessness.
Since entering university, she has never sought any form of financial support from her father; she not only relies on borrowing money to pay for study-related expenses, but also uses her spare time to do small business and scholarships to barely survive.
But he never expected that while he could barely make ends meet, he would also have to shoulder the needs of a father who could never be satisfied.
Whenever I think back to the days when I lived in a small room that mice occasionally visited - and when I think of every time I saw my father take away the money that was supposed to improve our lives without hesitation and still not be satisfied with the amount... a feeling of despair can't help but grow and spread in my heart.
Just as she was about to hold back her tears and try to explain herself again, she heard the other party shout even more arrogantly, "What the hell is that? Treating you to a song isn't enough! How much help do you think these things will be to your dad?"
After saying this, he even raised the cheap watch on his wrist and shook it a few times as if to show his support. "Take out all the money you have saved right now. I have to treat you guys to dinner tonight."
This cold-blooded attitude finally broke the last bottom line in the young woman's heart.
Shen Qing smiled, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "Do you know how hard it is for me to save money? There have been times when I even sacrificed the most basic three meals a day..."
By the time she got to this point, she was already sobbing and almost collapsed.
At that moment, a passerby, unintentionally intervening, stepped forward to stop the situation, fuming with rage after witnessing it all. "Enough!" Chu Jinghong said calmly, "How can you treat your own daughter like this? When faced with real difficulties, we should unite and overcome them together, not just complain and blame."
Faced with this sudden situation, and surrounded by the curious and accusing gazes of the people around him, the previously arrogant man suddenly became uneasy. Although he quickly regained his composure and retorted, "This is our own business. Outsiders have no right to dictate!" But behind his words, one could clearly hear some realization...
For Shen Qingwei, receiving unexpected support and encouragement at such a moment is undoubtedly the most precious spiritual pillar. Although the days ahead are still difficult and unknown, she knows that at least she is not alone in this world.
Originally thought that escaping from the constraints of his hometown could buy him a bit of peace, but unexpectedly, after studying in Jinling, the challenges Shen Qingwei faced did not decrease.
Whenever she thought of this, she would be overwhelmed by nameless melancholy and helplessness. This was a beautiful time for a young girl to explore unknown knowledge and social experience on campus.
But all this turned into a helpless sacrifice in the father's reality - he frequently asked his daughter for financial assistance, as if he had never thought about his daughter's own needs.
This girl, barely in her early twenties, should have been immersed in books and participating in various club activities to showcase her brilliance. But now, not only is she unable to enjoy the joy of growing up freely, but her life is becoming increasingly difficult due to the growing financial burden on her shoulders.
The father's attitude towards his child was like that of a gardener who only knew how to take without giving nourishment. Shen Qingwei smiled bitterly and said, "He threatened to send me back to that suffocating place and even forced me to get married."
In order to avoid such an outcome, whenever such a situation occurred, she had to grit her teeth and squeeze out a little limited money to hand over to her cruel father, and then rely on the food that was saved to the extreme to maintain the most basic life.
For Shen Qingwei, this was undoubtedly a silent and heavy pressure.
Although the university environment seemed safe and warm, the interpersonal relationships were actually complex and full of competition. For a girl with ordinary looks and limited financial resources, it was easy to become the focus of gossip among those around her.
In order to avoid the unfriendly looks and gossip, she finally decided to rent a small house outside the school.
Her friend Chu Jinghong's sympathy for her situation was almost beyond words. Faced with such a cruel fact, he was puzzled: "Hey, scholarships?"
The adult angrily demanded, "I've even been to your old apartment! My neighbors told me you recently moved to another apartment... Stop hiding the truth, okay? Do you think you're invincible just because you haven't been punished for so long?"
After a moment of silence, Shen Qingwei's eyes were filled with tears.
This situation is like rushing to pick the fruit of a flower before it blooms, prematurely consuming the possibilities of a bright future. "Do you understand?" she asked, her voice trembling and hoarse. "Surviving in this cold city is hard enough; let alone constantly enduring the deep hurt from my family..."
The saying "bad women make money" may apply to people who have to take extreme measures to solve urgent problems under certain special conditions.
But for Shen Qingwei, who is pure, strives to maintain good moral qualities, and struggles to survive without a stable income, all this is easier said than done.
Even if you just imagine it, it will arouse deep sympathy from others.
At this moment, even Chu, who has a strong and independent character, felt deeply resonated.
All her expenses, whether for study or daily life, depend on the small income accumulated through her hard work.
However, now he has to deal with the additional pressure from the people closest to him... With a loud bang of slamming the table, the anger that has been accumulating for a long time suddenly erupted.
Seeing Shen Qingwei dare to refute him, the middle-aged man was immediately furious. He raised his hand and slapped him hard: "You unworthy person! I raised you up and you still dare to talk back? Am I too good to you? Have you ever felt what kind of hard life you have lived through all these years? Do you think I forced you to do all this?
