Li Meiru, Xia Li and Tang Xiuxiu also came back soon after.

Li Meiru received a letter from home.

Because she didn't mail the living expenses to her family this month.

In the letter, her parents blamed her for being ignorant and that the family was in financial difficulty. She said that she should help the family more since she was in the big city. They also said that her sister was sick and she had no money to buy medicine or see a doctor.

Li Meiru has little affection for her parents and brothers. She says there is nothing to worry about, because that is her younger sister.

Because her parents favored boys over girls, she and her younger sister were in the same situation.

When her younger sister was just born, her parents saw that it was a girl and almost threw the child into the snow to freeze to death. It was she who brought the little sister back home and raised her with her own little food until she was three years old.

Later, when her heartless parents saw that her little sister had begun to remember things, they were willing to take good care of her, but they could only guarantee her basic food and clothing.

But even she didn't care about her younger sister. Li Meiru didn't know if her younger sister could survive in that family.

So this money must be sent back.

When other people in the dormitory saw Li Meiru sitting there counting money after returning to the dormitory, they all looked over.

Wang Jiao: "Why are you counting money? This money is enough for you to spend until the holidays."

Li Meiru worked part-time at the small restaurant at the door every day and could earn one yuan every three days on average.

When asked by her roommate, Li Meiru told them about her family affairs.

Wang Jiao is an only child, she never expected such a thing to happen.

"If you send the money home, who will know that your parents didn't use the money on your sister?"

Li Meiru: "I'm scared. If I don't have money, they will sell my sister."

Li Meiru said this and everyone else looked over.

Sell ​​it!

What a heartbroken family this is.

Li Meiru said: "There are many bad habits in my family."

Xia Li opened her mouth for a long time before she could speak normally: "Then you should mail some money back home."

Tang Xiuxiu: "You should first ensure your own living expenses, and then give some money to your family."

Yeh Xiaoxiao agreed, "If you give a lot of money, your family will think you are very rich and will definitely give you more money."

He Jing: "Xiaoxiao is right."

Li Meiru considered it over and over again and took out ten yuan.

Wang Jiao walked over and took out half of the money.

"Five dollars is fine, and it has to be in small change. If your sister is really sick, this money will definitely be enough to buy medicine."

Tang Xiuxiu: "The letter didn't say what disease your sister had. I guess your parents must be talking nonsense and want to ask you for money."

Xia Li: "I have never seen such shameless parents. They must have their own savings, but they still ask you, an ungraduated student, for money to buy medicine."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "If you have time, you'd better call your family and say a few words to your little sister."

If Li Meiru had the ability, she would naturally take her sister in to raise her, but she is currently studying and has no work, so she cannot compromise with her parents.

Li Meiru finally mailed five yuan to her family.

But she knew her parents wouldn't be so content, and five dollars wouldn't satisfy them.

It takes more than a week for the letter to be mailed to her hometown, which means she has lived a peaceful life for a week.

While Li Meiru was out mailing something, the others were discussing the matter in the dormitory.

Xia Li: "Do you think there is a solution to the Li Meiru issue?"

Tang Xiuxiu: "I don't think so, unless Li Meiru doesn't care about her sister, then she can live a better life."

He Jing: "But Li Meiru is very good to her sister."

Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head. "So for now, there is no good way to stabilize those wicked parents."

"well……"

Everyone sighed in unison.

…

Li Meiru didn't know how to deal with this matter.

But everyone else noticed that she worked harder at her part-time job the following week.

I usually don't see him in the morning or evening, and he was late for class several times.

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't attend the same class with them, but heard about this when they were chatting in the dormitory.

He Jing: "This won't work. Li Meiru should not fail a course again because of a part-time job. This is like throwing away watermelons to pick up sesame seeds."

Wang Jiao was drawing her eyebrows in the dormitory. She didn't even turn her head when she heard this. "Her parents are so annoying. How come..."

Wang Jiao was halfway through her speech when she suddenly thought of something and her tone became excited.

"We are the ones who are going to find someone to threaten her parents!"

He Jing: "Who are you looking for?"

Wang Jiao put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand and raised her half-drawn eyebrows. "Li Meiru's boyfriend, he is a very good boyfriend. Her parents will not let Li Meiru go because of fear."

Everyone else was thinking about Wang Jiao's words.

Ye Xiaoxiao disagreed, "I can also see the profit in this. Her parents will change from being obsessed with Li Meiru alone to being obsessed with Li Meiru and her boyfriend."

Wang Jiao was still enthusiastic, "Maybe Li Meiru's boyfriend is a gangster, or he is someone that Li's parents can't afford to offend."

Xia Li was upset, "Where can we find a boyfriend like this for Li Meiru?"

Wang Jiao: "That's not that easy. Just find a fake one, or someone else to play the role."

The more you talk, the more outrageous it gets.

The other people in the dormitory felt that it was not possible because there was no such virtual person.

In short, there were no actors to act in the script.

When I said this, Li Meiru came back.

Holding a new letter.

Wang Jiao pouted and said, "Don't worry, it's definitely not a serious matter, because your parents are reluctant to even send a telegram."

Letters are a very slow way of delivering messages, and are generally only used for non-urgent matters.

Li Meiru said nothing and opened the letter in silence.

Just when she was halfway through, Li Meiru suddenly stood up.

The chair she was sitting on fell down with a bang.

Everyone else in the dormitory was startled.

"What's up!"

Li Meiru had a sluggish expression, and it was obvious that she was confused.

Tang Xiuxiu walked over, picked up the letter, and made a sound of disbelief after reading it.

"My sister is dead!"

Others came over and saw that the letter was obviously written by someone else and had been simplified in many places, but it was not difficult to see that the speaker was angry and dissatisfied.

The letter first scolded Li Meiru, and then said that it was because Li Meiru sent too much money home that her sister died because she could not afford medical treatment.

It was like raising a child for nothing after more than ten years of their life was gone.

This couple of parents is really shameless. Not only did they shirk their responsibilities, they also didn't feel any sadness after Li Xiaomei's death. They just felt sorry for the money they had paid over the years.

"I have to go home. I'll ask my counselor for leave."

Li Meiru hurried out of the dormitory.

Xia Li: "But she has to take the exam. Can she still come back in time?"

Although there was enough time, the round-trip train tickets were also a burden for Li Meiru.

He Jing: "She definitely has to go back and have a look. We can't persuade her."

Wang Jiao also murmured: "How could this be possible... Her sister couldn't really be short of money..."
