Mr. Yu had spent too much time in his hometown. His eldest daughter's situation was still unresolved. How could he feel at ease going out to work?
What sins did he commit in his past life to raise such a debt collector?
They used to be perfectly fine, obedient and sensible.
All I did was ask her to drop out of school and work. How did she become so unrecognizable and out of control?
Calling the police didn't help.
He wanted to have a proper talk with the other party, but he had no chance at all.
The children are about to start school, and the family needs to spend money on food, clothing, and other necessities.
He has an eldest daughter who occasionally comes back to freeload, and a wife who has been hospitalized multiple times due to her anger.
This made things even worse for families that were already struggling financially.
If he doesn't go out and find a job soon, his family will starve...
Yu's father could only find a decent job locally to earn some money and barely make ends meet.
After discussing it, Mr. and Mrs. Yu decided to temporarily stop sending their second daughter to school.
Girls will eventually get married and belong to someone else's family. Not only will it cost money, but they won't be able to do much cooking, laundry, or housework anymore.
It would be better to let her work as a waitress at a relative's hot pot restaurant, so that she can share some of the burden on the family.
When Yu Xue received this news, her heart sank.
This has hit her where it hurts; she was hoping to get out of school and completely break free from her family of origin.
She had reached her breaking point, and her long-suppressed emotions finally erupted at this moment.
"I'm only 13 years old! I'm starting junior high in a couple of days! Are you even human?!"
Her parents, who were always authoritarian, did not take her objections seriously. They used moral blackmail and psychological manipulation to make the final decision.
This is a notification, not a discussion.
Yu Xue, who has been reborn, doesn't fall for their act.
"It's nine years of compulsory education now, and it doesn't cost you much money. If you don't let me go to school, I'll sue you for violating national policy! With a criminal record, my younger brother won't be qualified to get into a prestigious company, and he'll never amount to anything!"
She abandoned her usual obedient and docile ways, adopting a tough attitude and willing to break ties with her family in order to go to school.
Mr. and Mrs. Yu stared wide-eyed in disbelief, as if they were meeting their second daughter for the first time.
She used to be so well-behaved and pleasing to them, but now she's acting like the eldest daughter, going crazy and disobeying her parents' orders?
They really are two ungrateful wretches, a money-losing burden.
Mr. and Mrs. Yu were furious and grabbed their weapons to give her a mixed doubles beating.
That little brat has barely grown wings and already knows how to threaten her parents.
One or two have gone too far!
Yu Xue was beaten several times, but seized the opportunity to run out the door, shouting that her parents had killed someone.
This attracted many onlookers.
Anyway, it's not her who's embarrassed; she's just a child, what's there to be ashamed of?
The faces of Yu's parents, who had chased after them, were ashen; it was too humiliating!
What sins did they commit in their past lives to have given birth to two debt-collecting ghosts?
"It's all just kids talking nonsense, don't believe them..." they explained to those around them, trying to salvage some dignity.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xue rolled up her sleeve to reveal the bruises on her hands, crying and shouting that she had been a victim of domestic violence, looking as pitiful as could be.
Faced with public condemnation, Yu's parents nearly fainted from anger.
But they weren't pushovers either, and quickly came up with an excuse.
"This child loves to lie. It was clearly a fight with her brother that caused this... and now she's even slandering her parents. We haven't disciplined her properly. We'll take her home and give her a good talking to..."
Seeing that things were not going well, Yu Xue turned and ran.
They didn't know where he had hidden, and Yu's parents searched everywhere but couldn't find him.
Later, the second daughter actually reported them to the Education Bureau and received a good lecture from the leaders above.
Once a child is born, it needs to be taken care of.
Nine years of compulsory education should not be interrupted as long as the child is willing to learn; otherwise, it would be illegal.
Yu's parents would be tough at home, but once they were scolded, they would be as meek as quails, nodding vigorously and promising to let their child go to junior high school.
He looked at Yu Xue as if she were his mortal enemy.
Knowing she could no longer stay in this family, Yu Xue found her aunt's family to rely on.
She has a sweet tongue and knows how to flatter people. She had deliberately tried to win over her aunt before, and now it's coming in handy.
My aunt was one of the exploited "brother-supporting demons" in the Yu family before. As time went by, her family almost broke up, so she focused on her own family.
I hate this kind of sexist behavior the most.
In addition, she also liked Yu Xue, such a smart and sensible child, and couldn't bear to see the child so young unable to go to school and being exploited by that family.
She caused a scene at the Yu family's house with Yu Xue, and temporarily let the child stay at her house.
Yu Xue felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After moving into her aunt's house, she knew that she was about to live a long life as a dependent.
She had no choice but to go this far. As long as she could endure these next few years and become self-reliant, she would be truly free.
She couldn't help but think of Yu Shuang, who so openly went crazy, often making her parents furious, and they couldn't do anything about her.
How exhilarating it must have been to act so recklessly...
Unfortunately, their vision was too short-sighted.
It might give her temporary relief, but it's not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, she'll fall into her parents' trap.
...
A few days later, it was time for the start of the school term.
Yu Shuang enrolled in school normally; if she needed any documents, she could just go home and get them.
Anyway, breaking the lock at home isn't illegal.
When she arrived at the Yu family home, coincidentally, Yu's father had not yet left the house.
When Yu's father saw her, his eyes blazed with fury.
