Su Tao didn't take this little episode to heart at all.
I spent two weeks in Xindu, shopping without any scruples. I bought whatever I saw and played with whatever I liked.
Fortunately, there was enough space in the RV, and Fang Zhi could stuff her "small pocket" with it, otherwise it would not be able to satisfy her inflated desire to buy.
After having enough fun, Zhuo Ercheng felt it necessary to tell her a piece of news before leaving:
"Um, didn't I meet Jiang Jinhui that day? That's her name, right?"
The secretary whispered beside him, "It's Jiang Jinwei."
"Oh, it's her anyway. I went to investigate her situation. Just last week, her father drank too much and died suddenly. Her mother, who was in a vegetative state, also passed away a few days ago due to long-term neglect and wound infection. Do you want to go and see her?"
After all, they are his biological parents. No matter what Su Tao chooses, he still has to take the initiative to tell her the news.
As for Jiang Jinwei, who lived in a miserable marriage and suffered from depression, it is better not to mention her.
The two children have even less to do with Su Tao.
Su Tao was stunned for two seconds, then shook her head: "No need."
Zhuo Ercheng nodded in agreement.
He found out everything during the investigation, but he didn't expect that Su Tao had suffered a lot of cold stares and abuse when she was a child.
This kind of abuse is psychological and is a disguised form of domestic bullying.
She has been treated coldly and ignored since she was a child. All the warmth in the family has nothing to do with her. Watching her own parents spoil their children, she feels that she is redundant and a burden.
The attitude of her parents determines the attitude of her brothers and sisters towards her.
Therefore, she was bullied by other brothers and sisters, and everything she could get was robbed, not only material things, but also spiritual and emotional things.
I can't bear to see her having enough food and clothes, owning anything, or being happy.
Su Tao got on the pink RV again, looked at the Xindu that was getting farther and farther away, sighed deeply, and said to Shi Zijin beside her:
"In fact, if they were even half as good to me, I would lend a hand."
Shi Zijin hugged her from behind and put his chin on her shoulder: "I know."
Su Tao suddenly felt very aggrieved and sad:
"But they don't have a cent. I've been away from home for so long, and it's fine if they don't care about me. But when they see me, they just curse me. They think I haven't contributed anything to this family and haven't squeezed out my surplus value, so they're very unhappy."
"I often wonder, am I really their biological child? Was I picked up from somewhere, or stolen? I even investigated and secretly tested it, but sadly, it's not. I really am their child, their biological child. I don't understand why they gave birth to me if they didn't love me? I clearly have my own parents in this family, but I'm the least valued, the cheapest child. Why? Why?"
Shi Zijin was heartbroken.
I wanted to comfort her, but no words came out.
Others have never experienced this kind of thing and are never qualified to give advice.
It is a fallacy that all parents in the world love their children.
In this world, there are really many people who do not have a "safe haven" tacitly recognized by the outside world, and do not think "forget it, I'll just go home if I can't make it."
They couldn't use their home as a retreat, and they didn't dare fall down because there was no one behind them.
For more people, not only are there no lights behind them, but there is also thick white fog in front of them.
If Su Tao were asked to pick the person she envied the most and change her life for three days, she would definitely choose Alice.
The winter in Changjing was quite cold. After work, Minister Xu hurried to the courtyard with snowflakes all over his head. He opened the door and shouted happily:
"Xiao He He, Dada brought you some delicious food."
As he said this, he took out a box of winter solstice crystal shrimp dumplings distributed by his company from his pocket.
Still hot.
I tried one and thought it was so delicious that I had to save it for my daughter.
No matter what good things he had, he couldn't help but keep them for his daughter, even if they were rotten or spoiled.
Alice, who was playing games with Su Tao, immediately ran over when she saw this.
But no matter how much she craved dumplings, she still gave Dada a hug and said with a smile the same words she always said: "Dada is off work."
Then he took the box back.
Minister Xu shouted from behind: "Share it with your sister!"
Su Tao was stunned.
When I came to my senses, Alice stuffed a mouthful of dumplings into my mouth.
Then I heard Minister Xu say:
"Knowing you're coming to Changjing for a short stay, I've had some new supplies prepared for you. They'll be delivered to you later. Oh, and I've taken a week-long vacation, which has used up all my annual leave. I'll spend the time strolling around Changjing with you. Just tell me where you want to go and what you want to eat."
Su Tao swallowed the dumplings, sniffed, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, then I won't be polite."
In the following week, Minister Xu really did what he said and personally took her to visit various scenic spots and historical sites in Changjing. He always bought two copies of things, whether they were food or daily necessities.
So a week later, Su Tao had a bunch of sweaters, coats, gloves, hats, etc. that were the same as Alice's.
She put the hat on her head, put on her gloves, and smiled at Minister Xu.
Alice also put it on crookedly, imitated her, and smiled foolishly at her father.
Su Tao reached out and put it on her.
Minister Xu sighed twice and said, "Let me take a picture. The two sisters are really beautiful. It's time to change the wallpaper."
“Crack—”
After changing the wallpaper, Minister Xu returned to work and was seen by his colleagues. When asked about it, he smiled and said:
"Our two daughters!"
Su Tao stayed in Changjing until the New Year.
This year was a very special one, as only she, Shi Zijin, and Uncle Xu and his daughter were there.
After a table full of delicious food and wine, Minister Xu became more talkative and started to chat with Shi Zijin:
"Taotao is a good girl, and I am half her elder. You have to promise me that you will never bully her and will love and protect her. Otherwise, I don't care how far away Dongyang Taoyang is. I will give up my job in Changjing and chase you to smash your head."
Shi Zijin respectfully raised his glass and accepted the gesture.
Minister Xu got drunk when he was happy, and when he was unconscious, he insisted on asking Shi Zijin to become his sworn brother.
As soon as the New Year is over, the little pink car is on the road again, this time to the hometown of Jiang Yu and his sister.
It’s spring now, the temperature is rising along the way, and you can see wild flowers blooming everywhere.
Jiang Yu deliberately drove very slowly, as if to let Jiang Tong see that the originally broken world was gradually becoming more and more beautiful.
By the time we arrived at our destination, it was already April.
On this spring day when flowers are blooming, Jiang Yu buried a pair of glasses and some clothes and miscellaneous items under a towering almond eucalyptus tree.
Jiang Yu knelt under the tree for a long time and said a lot of things.
In the next life, let’s be brother and sister again.
In my next life, even if I have to stand against the whole world, I will protect you.
