Wang Guo looked at her father seriously and said, "Then why do I always feel that my eldest sister and mother are not good to my second sister at all? My eldest sister can do nothing, but my second sister has to go out and earn money every day. She used to do odd jobs, which earned little money. Now she works as an assistant to a big boss and earns more money. My second sister is also the one who brings the most money back to the family now. My eldest sister does nothing and is not grateful. Do you think this is the right thing to do?"
Mr. Wang knew perfectly well that Wang Hua had contracted pneumonia after falling into the water, and the medical expenses had almost wiped out the family's savings in an instant. This was why Mrs. Wang harbored resentment towards Wang Rui, a woman she already disliked. After all, for a family, accumulating even a little money was incredibly difficult.
Wang Rui was also a girl with a strong sense of self-respect. Even though she didn't receive much attention from her parents at home, and even lived amidst daily abuse, she was unwilling to easily bow her head to anyone. When she was young, she would often go to the match factory or the neighborhood office to do odd jobs. Although she didn't earn much, it was enough to supplement the family income, which was much better than nothing.
Moreover, Wang's father was well aware that all the hard-earned money Wang Rui made would be ruthlessly taken away by Wang's mother and then used entirely for Wang Hua and Wang Guo.
Thinking of this, Mr. Wang couldn't help but sigh heavily. Over the years, he had unknowingly become somewhat accustomed to the various things that had happened. However, Wang Rui had never spoken of these things, so Mr. Wang continued to live his life peacefully. Now that he knew Wang Hua was exploiting his own sister and even trying to steal her boyfriend, he found it hard to accept!
Wang Guo, young and impetuous, failed to notice his father's displeasure and blurted out his thoughts: "Why does my second sister prefer to live in the company dormitory rather than go home? Isn't it because even if she goes home, she won't receive the respect she deserves?"
He complained indignantly, "My second sister has the most money in the family, but she only eats the least food. Whenever there is meat on the table, those fragrant pieces of meat either lie steadily in my eldest sister's bowl, or have you ever thought of putting a piece on my second sister's plate?"
Wang Guo cried out in anguish, "My second sister hasn't felt the love of her family for a long time! To be honest, I've always been using the money my second sister worked so hard to earn to go to school, and every time I think of this, my heart is filled with endless guilt."
Upon hearing this, Wang's father turned to look at Wang Guo with a look of surprise. He had clearly not expected that his young son would be using Wang Rui's money.
Wang Guo didn't stop there. He continued, "Once, my mother gave me some pocket money, and I happily wanted to give it to my second sister. But she refused without hesitation and put the money back in my hand. She also told me earnestly that not having the opportunity to continue her studies was always a great regret for her. Therefore, she hoped that I would cherish the opportunity to study, study hard, and get into university in the future. Moreover, she promised to continue to pay my tuition and support me in completing my university studies."
These words reddened Wang's father's eyes. He knew his health wasn't good, and he could only do odd jobs, earning a meager 18 or 20 yuan a month. Wang's mother used to have a job cooking in a government canteen, but she was dismissed due to some issues. Now, the whole family relied on Wang Rui's salary to survive. And just as her youngest son had said, she earned the most money but ate the least.
Mr. Wang sighed and said, "It wasn't easy for your mother to raise the three of you."
Wang Guo paused for a moment, then looked at her father with a firm expression, as if she had made up her mind: "It really is not easy, but is it easy for my second sister? She has been working for this family since she was a teenager, it has been so hard for her."
If my mom has it tough, what about my older sister? What gives her the right to talk so casually without any remorse? She's always saying my sister's health isn't good, but when she's eating, drinking, and having fun, isn't she healthy? But when it comes to work or labor, she's always complaining of being unwell. How come she gets all the benefits?
Wang's father's face darkened, and he said to him, "You can't treat your eldest sister like this."
Wang Guo said calmly, "My eldest sister has never treated me like my second sister has, so even if she gets married and is bullied, I won't stand up for her."
Wang's father immediately glared at him, while Wang Guo stiffened his neck, looking as if he wasn't afraid.
Finally, Wang Guo said, "She never treats me like a younger brother, so why should I treat her like a sister? I know all the pocket money I save, but what about her? She often goes into my room and rummages through it. My money is going away every day, one yuan today, three yuan the day after tomorrow."
I'm just not saying anything, but that doesn't mean I don't know. If you continue to indulge my eldest sister like this, then I'll move to the school and apply for a dormitory, just like my second sister. I won't come back; anyway, my second sister agreed to pay my tuition. I'd rather rely on my second sister than on you.”
One sentence made Wang's father's face change immediately. He did not expect that in his son's heart, his status as a father was so low.
After Wang's father and Wang Guo entered the house, Wang's mother immediately smiled and said, "You're back. Come and eat quickly." Then she started serving the dishes and rice.
When everyone had almost finished eating, Wang Guo said casually, "I'll go to school tomorrow and ask the teacher for permission to live on campus."
Wang Hua's eyes lit up when he heard this. If this kid was going to live at school, would he no longer have to live on that plywood bed and could move into his room? That way, he could have all of the kid's pocket money.
Upon hearing this, Wang's mother immediately asked anxiously, "Son, what's wrong? Why do you want to go to boarding school?"
Wang Guo glanced at Wang Hua, who was smirking, and said, "I can't stay at home anymore because my allowance has mysteriously disappeared. I'm afraid I'll end up with nothing."
Wang Hua immediately lowered her head, not wanting anyone to see her expression.
When Wang Guo's eyes turned to Wang Hua, Wang's mother immediately said awkwardly, "Could it be that you made a mistake?"
Wang Guo glanced at his mother and said, "If I check for errors one day, two days, will I check for errors every day? I'm a high school student, not a primary school student."
Wang's mother immediately slapped Wang Hua and said, "How dare you take your brother's pocket money! Quickly return it to him."
Wang Hua clenched her fists tightly and remained silent, because she had already spent all the money she had stolen, so where would she get the money to pay Wang Guo back?
Seeing Wang's mother's ineffective slapping, Wang Guo chuckled and said, "What's the use of hitting her? It doesn't hurt at all. I saw it all; she bought face cream, and it's in the little box under her bed."
Wang Hua immediately looked at Wang Guo in horror. When Wang's mother saw Wang Hua's expression, she understood immediately.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wang Hua accuse him, "How dare you spy on me!"
