Chapter 420 Recognize Your Identity
After hearing these words, the air in the car fell silent instantly.
Jiang Xu asked, "Can you find the sender? Do you have a photo?"
Luo Yan shook his head: "It's a newly registered account."
Jiang Xu: "Looks like we need to get to town as soon as possible."
As he spoke, the vehicle accelerated towards the town.
At the same time, in the classroom of the town’s No. 1 Middle School.
A middle-aged woman in a faded floral shirt rushed into the classroom.
"Chen Xiaojuan, your dad is not well, come back with me!"
The classroom suddenly became quiet.
Everyone was startled by her sudden intrusion.
Chen Xiaojuan was also stunned.
Seeing that she didn't move, the middle-aged woman rushed in, grabbed her hand, and cursed viciously: "You stupid girl! What are you still doing sitting there! You don't even worry about your own father when he's in trouble. Come home with me!"
The teacher on the podium frowned: "Xiaojuan's mother, she will be participating in the city competition the day after tomorrow. This competition is very important. If she goes back now..."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's face instantly turned pale and she screamed, "What competition? Is his father more important? All you teachers know is competition! Have you read so much that you can't even remember? You don't even care about your own father dying. Are you still human?"
He spat directly onto the ground.
The teacher's expression changed.
The classmates also showed indescribable expressions.
What kind of quality is this? The teacher obviously has good intentions.
If she gets a place in the competition, it will be useful for the college entrance examination. Everyone can see how much Chen Xiaojuan values this opportunity.
The teacher just said it, is there any need to make such a fuss?
Everyone looked at her with contempt, and Chen Xiaojuan suddenly felt her face burning and extremely embarrassed.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the woman glared at her and pulled her out forcefully.
"What? Do you think I'm embarrassing you? I picked you up from the roadside, raised you with great difficulty, provided you with food and clothes. Now that you've grown up, you think I'm embarrassing you, don't you?" She cursed as she dragged her onto the electric car.
Chen Xiaojuan lowered her head, her fingers digging into her palms. She finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Am I alone? If Dad is not well, won't my sister...my sister go back with me?"
As soon as she said this, she clearly felt the woman in front of her stiffen, and then she became even more angry: "You are the only one who talks too much!"
"After picking up the girl, don't you still have to pick up that little ancestor? Do you think they are as heartless as you?"
The electric car sped along, the lights were scarce along the way, and the surroundings seemed particularly dim. After an unknown amount of time, it finally stopped in front of an old house.
Chen Xiaojuan pushed open the door, only to see her father, who was supposed to be "critically ill", squatting at the door smoking.
Her heart sank to the bottom at this moment, and her worst guess was confirmed.
"You... lied to me?" Her voice trembled. "Dad isn't sick at all! You just wanted to prevent me from taking the exam!"
She turned around and was about to run out, but the man grabbed her hair.
"You're so rebellious! I tolerated you for a long time outside just now!" The woman slapped her viciously.
"We provide you with food and clothing. Everything you have is ours! What? No money for the exam? No money for travel expenses? Are you running our bank?"
Chen Xiaojuan clenched her fists, digging her nails deep into her palms. She suddenly looked up at the two of them:
"Then why don't you call your sister back too? Isn't it because I'm absent that she can fill in and go to the city to take the exam?"
As soon as these words came out, the woman's eyes suddenly became fierce.
“Bang!”
A heavy slap came down on the face, but the woman still felt unsatisfied, so she kicked her to the ground and kicked her hard on the back several times until Chen Xiaojuan was silent and collapsed on the ground like a dead fish. Then she grunted and winked at the man next to her.
The man stuffed something into her mouth, dragged her into the utility room, and slammed the door shut.
"From today on, you stay here!"
"Do you really understand your position? What's the point of attending? What's the point of getting early admission? What's the point of getting admitted? How much does it cost to go to college? Does our family have that kind of money? Will you pay for the tuition?"
"I've done my best to raise you! Stop daydreaming!"
The two men's sneering words came through the crack in the door.
Chen Xiaojuan gritted her teeth and tears streamed down her face.
After a while, I heard my sister's innocent voice from outside.
"Mom, how's Dad?"
"Why are you back?" The woman's voice suddenly rose.
"I heard my dad wasn't feeling well, so I wanted to come back to see him. My teacher was worried, so she came to see me off."
The teacher greeted her as usual and asked, "Xiaojuan's mother, your child is truly filial. By the way, where's Chen Xiaojuan? I'm here, so how about I take the two sisters back to school together later?"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaojuan stood up suddenly and excitedly banged on the door of the woodshed.
The teacher looked over in the direction of the sound and was about to step forward when the woman stopped her with a wary look on her face.
"Teacher, that's where we raise chickens. It's dirty. Please don't go there."
"That bitch Chen Xiaojuan, who knows which wild man she's been hanging out with? She's so promiscuous at such a young age, what's next for her?"
"Teacher, it's dark and the road is hard to walk on. Please take my daughter back first."
"As for Chen Xiaojuan, once she's had enough of her fun, she'll naturally know to come back!"
The teacher hesitated and was about to say something, but the woman had already dragged her out: "Hurry up, or you won't be able to see the mountain road clearly if you're late!"
The gate slammed shut, completely taking away Chen Xiaojuan's last bit of hope.
The sun hadn't set yet, but Chen Xiaojuan felt as if she were falling into an icy cave.
She knew her identity since she was a child. She was adopted by them and her sister was their biological child.
So, since she was a child, my sister has been spoiled and had meat and snacks to eat.
She always has endless farm work to do.
At first, the two of them planned to leave her at home to do farm work. It was not until the village chief came to their house and said that going to school was compulsory education that the two of them reluctantly sent her to school.
Chen Xiaojuan has been aware of her status since she was a child, so she works harder.
Study hard so that you can get out of here one day.
But she was so close to success, why? Just one step away, why? Why did God do this to her?
She curled up in the corner, her vision blurred by tears. She didn't know how long it took before she fell into a drowsy sleep.
In her dream, she seemed to be walking on a small path, but no matter how she walked, the path seemed to have no end.
Suddenly, she looked up and shuddered.
The surroundings were unfamiliar.
She had never been to this place before.
