Mother Xia dry heaved for a while, and had to suppress her nausea and vomiting as she began her first cleaning job and her first time taking care of a patient in her life.
As she was cleaning, she was choked by the dust and the dark, yellow stuff in the corners and on the floor, making her feel nauseous.
There used to be a cleaning lady named Zhang, but after her previous employer went bankrupt, Xia Ma paid her wages.
Because she had worked there for more than ten years, Xia's mother gave her three more months of hard work pay and let her go.
Later, the three of them left the official residence where they had lived for more than ten years and moved into a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment.
Yan's father has to go to work during the day, so Shangyue always comes back at noon to cook and clean the house.
"Hey, this kid, ever since he moved to school, he rarely comes back to visit even on weekends."
"You should stop talking too much. The college entrance exam is coming soon, and children must make time to study!"
Yan's father sat on a chair, holding a towel in his hand, and helped wipe the old table.
Mother Xia was silent for a moment and then stopped talking.
However, both of them knew it well.
My daughter has only come back a few times since we moved.
And today, I received a text message from Xia Ma last month.
I set out from school early in the morning and walked for an hour before finally reaching the new home address in Xia Ma's text message.
Shangyue was wearing a blue school uniform and carrying a school bag.
As soon as she came back, she saw two white-haired old men busy at work.
Shangyue's eyes sank!
Three months ago, Xia's mother had to look for white hair among the black hair and then hide it secretly.
But now, it is extremely difficult to find a single black hair among a head of white hair.
Mother Xia was picking out a yellowed piece of stuff stuck on the floor with her hands.
The stuff was sticky and in clumps.
This scene made everyone outside the Heavenly Dao Realm feel nauseous.
"What the hell is this? It's so disgusting!"
"I was wrong. This is definitely not the God Realm. How could the God Realm be so..."
In the Heavenly Dao Realm, Shangyue's expression became increasingly ugly.
Once, she also thought that was the darkest moment in her life.
But it was not until that moment that she knew what true hell on earth was.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
As soon as Shangyue entered the door, he took the broom from Xia Ma's hand and started cleaning without saying a word.
Yan's father glanced at Xia's mother and blamed her for being too talkative.
Mother Xia was holding a towel in her hand, looking a little embarrassed.
"Um, Yueyue, why did you come back so suddenly? I... you must be hungry. I'll go prepare dinner right away!"
As a result, the smell of burnt food rose in the room of less than 13 square meters.
Mother Xia was busy preparing for an hour and finally served the meal on the table.
She stood uneasily beside the dining table, holding her apron in her wrinkled hands, like a sinner being judged.
"Well, I'm still not very good at cooking..."
Not only am I not good at cooking, I am actually the opposite of cooking.
Shangyue looked at the burnt bowl in front of him and frowned slightly.
This is what her parents eat when she is not around!
Mother Xia's hands and feet became unnatural, and she looked at Shangyue's eyes cautiously.
Yan's father was the first to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food, and put it in his mouth to chew.
Last month, he picked up the chopsticks but put them down again.
When Mother Xia saw her expression, she knew that she didn't like it.
She sat aside, feeling even more uneasy.
Yan's father's expression was also somewhat ugly. For the first time, he revealed a dissatisfied tone: "Why, it's not to your liking?"
“I ate it at school!”
"Pa!" Yan's father slammed the chopsticks on the table.
Mother Xia quickly patted Father Yan's back and said soothingly, "It's okay after you've eaten, it's okay after you've eaten!"
Yan's father glanced at Shangyue with dissatisfaction, then picked up the "dish" in the bowl.
So, the two of them began to eat slowly from a large bowl of unknown stuff.
When I looked at them last month, the first thing I felt was a heaviness in my chest, and I couldn’t find an outlet to vent it, so I felt like it was about to explode!
She clenched her hands and then slowly loosened them, finally putting a stack of bills from her schoolbag on the table.
The two elderly men, both over fifty years old, were stunned when a stack of shining banknotes suddenly appeared in the dim room.
“This…this is…”
After being surprised, Yan's father slapped Shangyue in the face.
Kamitsuki covered her face and looked at him in disbelief.
From childhood to adulthood, her parents have never hit her!
"What did I do wrong that you want to hit me?"
"You, you're still asking me? Do you even know what propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame are?"
Yan's father was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He looked at Shangyue with hatred and annoyance, and fire was about to burst out of his eyes.
"Forget it, husband! It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all!"
Mother Xia grabbed his arm, her face also covered with tears.
"I earned every penny of this money through my own hard work. How can I be so shameless? How can I be so dirty?"
"What part-time job, what job?"
Shangyue said: "I developed a new game, this is the profit sharing!"
Yan's father was slightly stunned, and his heart finally settled down.
But then, he quietly picked it up again.
"The college entrance exam is coming up, and you're not studying hard, so why are you doing game development? You're a little girl with no background, how can you understand what the market is and what connections are?"
"Now, you've just turned fourteen and are already in your third year of high school. Yueyue, you're naturally intelligent and a natural student. It's time for you to study hard and get into college. For ordinary people like us, the only way to truly succeed is to get a high-end degree and find a good job!"
