"Mom, why are you here again? Didn't I just give you 50,000 yesterday?"
Cai Lingling said angrily, "Who can afford a mere fifty thousand yuan?"
"Do you know how much your brother and sister's tuition is every year? Do you know how expensive their living expenses are?"
"Your mom, I have to live too, right? Is it easy for me to support so many people by myself?"
Dan Cui's face looked bitter. She gave all the money she earned every year to her mother, and sometimes she didn't keep a penny for herself.
There weren't many announcements during this period, and coupled with the bias on the part of the robot side, she didn't get many jobs. She had been relying on taking on private jobs to earn a small amount of money.
She really has no money.
Before she was sixteen, her family lived a relatively good life. Her father was a director of a listed company and had a very good salary.
Her mother gave birth to three children. She is the eldest in the family and has a younger brother and a younger sister.
With the help of my grandparents at home, life is quite comfortable.
When her mother has nothing to do, she goes out to play cards and mahjong, and she and her younger siblings are left to be taken care of by her grandparents.
When I was sixteen, my father died of illness. Since he died at work, the company gave me a large compensation.
Adding to that the savings over the years, it should have been possible to provide their family with food and clothing with proper planning.
But since then, my grandparents have passed away one after another, and the family has lost its backbone for a while.
On the day she was admitted to university, her mother suddenly told her not to study anymore and to go out to work and earn money.
Dan Cui found it incredible. She asked in surprise, "Mom, don't I have college tuition and living expenses?"
She remembered that when she rushed to the hospital to see her father, he was still holding on.
Her father said to her, "Cui'er, I won't be able to see you go to college. I've already prepared your tuition and put it in my card."
"You must remember to take good care of your mother and your younger siblings, and always pay attention to the health of your grandparents. You are the eldest daughter, and your mother has no opinion, so I am sorry to trouble you."
When he spoke, he would take several breaths after saying a few words, but he would still finish his sentence.
Dan Cui cried bitterly, but still couldn't save her father's life.
She locked the card in a drawer and never used it.
She originally planned to take out the card if she ever faced financial difficulties, so that it could at least help her family get through the hard times.
After paying her university tuition, she plans to work part-time to earn money for her studies.
Because she was quite talented, she was noticed by a music teacher in high school and was taught some knowledge about songs. In terms of theoretical knowledge, she did have a basic foundation.
So although she applied to a university, she was attracted by the college that allowed her to minor in vocal music.
Although it is not as good as a real music college, the faculty there is very strong and does not interfere with her studies.
She had never thought about not being able to go to college.
After she asked this question, there was a hint of embarrassment on Cai Lingling's face.
"Anyway, you shouldn't go to school anymore. Our family is in financial difficulty, and as your older sister, you should go out and work to earn money to support the family."
Dan Cui nodded. She didn't know how difficult her family's situation was. She only knew that her mother's clothes and bags were changed from time to time and looked very valuable.
However, the three meals a day at home are becoming less and less, and recently there is not even a piece of meat to be seen.
She planned to keep some of the money for her tuition and use the rest for household expenses.
She will find a way to pay for her living expenses herself.
When Dan Cui went to get her card, she opened the drawer but couldn't find it. She came out to ask Cai Lingling, but saw a guilty look on her mother's face. At this time, she didn't understand what was going on.
Tears fell from her eyes: "Mom, you took my card?"
"Why? It only has my college tuition and living expenses in it!"
After Cai Lingling felt guilty, she immediately became confident and said, "I'm your mother, so what if I manage the money?"
"Isn't it just that I lost some money playing mahjong, and I used the money in your card to make up for it? Why do you want your mother to die?"
Dan Cui only felt heartbroken.
But she did get into this university after all, and the person who paid her tuition is her lifelong benefactor.
In order to earn tuition and living expenses, she went to work in an underground bar during the holiday. The person who introduced her to the bar was her benefactor.
The other party is a wandering singer.
Dan Cui ran out of the house crying that day, feeling that the road ahead was bleak.
As she walked, she heard some beautiful singing. Attracted by the singing, she came to a wandering singer.
The wandering singer was in his thirties. Although his clothes were worn, they were very clean. He was holding a guitar and there was a cardboard box on the ground with some small items inside.
When Dan Cui arrived, half of the paper box was filled with small items, and the other half was some money, scattered here and there. The amount was not large, but it was very valuable.
Dan Cui sat there listening for a long time, and the wandering singer noticed her. The two chatted and talked when no one was around.
When he learned that Dan Cui could sing, he asked her to sing a song.
At first, Dantui was a little shy and didn't dare to sing, but with the encouragement of the wandering singer and his smile, she bravely opened her mouth.
She only sang one song that day, but attracted many people to stop and listen.
According to the wandering singer, that day was the day he earned the most.
He gave all the money he earned later to Dantrie, and when he learned that she had no money to go to college and continue studying music, he took her directly to a bar.
The owner of that bar had some friendship with the wandering singer and originally wanted to invite the wandering singer to perform there, but the singer said that he loved freedom more and did not want to be bound by constraints.
Dantree still remembers the singer and the bar owner laughing and shouting, "Look, I've brought you a genius. You must protect her well and pay her a higher salary. This girl has a bright future and will be a great addition to your bar."
Thanks to her singing, the bar made a lot of money during that holiday, and the salary and bonus she received were very high, at least enough for her to pay for her university tuition. Her living expenses were also funded by her boss.
The boss had only one request of her: to go back and sing when she had time.
The wandering singer had no fixed place to live in these years. They communicated through letters in the first two years. Later, the other party replied to her that he had fallen in love with someone and wanted to settle down and say goodbye to the past.
Dan Cui responded with sincere blessings and stopped communicating with him.
However, the bar owner still remembered Dan Cui's kindness even after his debut, and would go back to the bar to help him perform whenever he was free.
After signing with the company, it was not so convenient, but I still went to help a few times in a masked outfit.
Until the boss said that he was tired of running a bar and wanted to change. She has now moved to another city and I heard that she opened a teahouse there, playing only her songs.
She would also go and have a look when she had free time.
That was one of the few warmth in her heart.
"Mom, can't you save some money?" She has been supporting this family for ten years and is a little tired.
Her current brothers and sisters are not her biological brothers and sisters at all. Her biological brothers and sisters have already started working and living an independent life.
The current younger brothers and sisters were born after Cai Lingling remarried for the second time.
