After driving for more than four hours,I took them to my home for the first time.My mother threatened to divorce my father,and my father's dream of traveling had never come true.
It was a large flat of 200 square meters,and there were two nannies in the house.
When my parents saw the exquisite decoration and the large open-air balcony of dozens of square meters,they were stunned.
They had a hunch that I had been living a good life these years,but they didn't expect it to be this good.
The first thing they asked was whether the house was rented or bought,and I said I bought it.
"No wonder she doesn't care about that small house we gave her!She's been living a good life behind our backs!"
My mother's face turned ugly,and she spoke sarcastically to my father,obviously aiming at me.
My father came over and took my hand,"Daughter,what exactly do you do for a living?How did you get so much money?"
"I'm afraid she's hooked up with a rich man.Don't bring shame to our Zhang family,"my mother said.
"Mom,you forgot.I don't have the surname Zhang.I have the surname Tang,"I stared at her and continued,"And,you seem to be the least qualified to say that,right?For a small amount like 100,000 dollars,you should know what you can buy with it,Mom?"
A trace of uneasiness flashed across my mother's face.She knew that I knew everything.
To achieve what I have today,of course,taking shortcuts was the fastest way.
When I was in college,I was very thrifty and short of money.My mother always delays paying my living expenses.
Every time I asked for money,I had to look at her face.Besides,she especially liked to keep me waiting.She made me wait and then made me ask her for money again.
After she transferred the money,she would give me a long lecture—be thrifty,don't be vain and compare with others.
She deliberately delayed giving me the money just to make me understand that it wasn't easy for them to earn money,so that I could remember their kindness in the future.
I was very obedient and remembered it clearly,writing it down one by one.
My mother also had a golden saying—originally,I was willing to give it to you,but if you take the initiative to ask for it,I just don't want to give it to you.
Being young,innocent,and short of money meant being easily deceived.I suffered the greatest shame of my life during a part-time job.
I was extremely scared.Everything was like a dream.It happened quickly and ended quickly too.
The first person I could think of afterwards was still my mother.I called her with a trembling body to cry and ask for help,hoping that she could come and accompany me to report the case to the police.
Then,I still managed to distinguish my elder sister's voice amidst the noise.
The place where I went to college was a thousand kilometers away from home,and the place where my elder sister went to college was two thousand kilometers away from home.
My mother traveled thousands of miles for my elder sister's 24th birthday,while I was slowly rotting in a corner.
My mother was very rational.She first asked me if I had taken the initiative to seduce the man.
My heart turned cold.
After getting my negative answer,she told me not to take a shower and to give her the man's phone number so that she could deal with it.The fire of hope was reignited.
The man was a regular customer of the hotel.I secretly found his contact information at the front desk.
I didn't dare to go back to school.I told my counselor that my mother came to see me and asked for two days off.
I found a small hotel nearby.The man's sticky hands seemed to still be wandering on my body,and there was a disgusting smell coming from below.I finally couldn't help but vomit.
The next day,I received a call from my mother.She lowered her voice.
"Listen to me.Just let this matter go.It will be bad for your reputation if it gets out.Do you still want to continue studying?"
"What's the use of punishing him?At most,he'll only be in prison for two years and then he'll be out.It will ruin your whole life.Just consider it as being bitten by a dog.Do you really want to bite the dog back?"
"Do you still want to get married in the future?Do your elder sister and younger sister still want to get married?"
"When something like this happens,a woman can only swallow her anger.In the future,you must be careful not to wear short skirts and don't go to those shady places."
"..."
All the blood in my body turned cold.
I couldn't believe that the person on the other end of the phone was my own mother.
She didn't even mention coming to the school to see me.
