Chapter 493 I feel like I'm about to die

As school was about to let out, the streets were bustling with people. Many adults carried their children's schoolbags on their shoulders, holding their children's hands and chatting and laughing.

Some children are quite naughty, making a fuss about buying snacks and clamoring to go to the park, leaving their parents with the same helpless expression.

Sun Aidi's thoughts drifted back to her childhood.

She has been going to and from school alone since she was in the first grade of elementary school.

She was envious when she saw other children being picked up by their parents after school.

She also mustered up the courage to ask her parents if they could pick her up from school, as she wanted to be picked up by an adult like other children.

Unfortunately, her parents refused, saying they had to go to work.

The little girl, carrying her schoolbag, wandered through the streets and alleys alone.

Adults often look at her and ask in a puzzled tone, "How can your family leave you all alone?"

Little Sun Aidi tilted her head back, raised her chin, and answered crisply, "Because my parents say I'm the best kid."

It wasn't until that day that Sun Aidi understood something—it wasn't because I was the most capable child, but because I wasn't their child.

As the sun gradually set, Sun Aidi buried her face in her knees, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

Suddenly, someone gently patted my shoulder.

She stopped crying, looked up, and gazed at the other person through teary eyes. The last flicker of hope in her heart had been extinguished.

"Little girl, I've seen you squatting here for a long time, has something happened?"

The owner of the dumpling shop across the street looked at her with concern, "You're crying so hard, were you bullied?"

Sun Aidi sniffed and gently shook her head.

The dumpling shop owner sighed softly, "Are you hungry? Let me treat you to some dumplings."

She was deeply moved by the stranger's concern.

Sun Aidi choked up and said, "Auntie, I don't need to eat dumplings. Can I use the restroom?"

"can."

Sun Aidi came out of the restroom, thanked the landlady, and said, "Thank you, Auntie, I'm leaving now."

"Little girl, you really don't want to eat dumplings?"

"No need, thank you, Auntie."

"It's getting dark, go home early, don't worry your family."

Sun Aidi slowly raised her head, staring blankly at the night sky, her heart pounding with a heavy, uneasy feeling.

Home...do I still have a home?

She instinctively gripped the backpack strap tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Sun Aidi went back that night.

She became taciturn, and except for going to school, eating, and washing dishes, she spent the rest of her time alone in her bedroom.

One night, she felt thirsty and went out to get some water. As she passed the master bedroom, she heard arguing coming from inside.

"You say we won't move houses, but what will happen to Yangyang when he grows up? We can't let him keep sleeping with us and your mom!"

"Don't worry, there's always a way."

"Where's the solution? Tell me!"

"Isn't Ai Di a senior in high school?"

"and then?"

“She will be going to study in another city starting in September, so Yangyang can stay in her room.”

"She has to come back during winter and summer vacations, right? Are we going to make her sleep in the living room?" "Let her squeeze in with Mom. If that doesn't work, let her do part-time jobs during winter and summer vacations. There are plenty of solutions. We don't need to argue about this late at night."

"..."

Sun Aidi gripped the mug tightly in her hand, afraid that if she loosened her grip, it would crash to the ground and shatter into pieces.

However, the mug was intact, but her heart was shattered.

Her parents had their own biological child, and they were so eager to get rid of her...

Sun Aidi lay in bed, suffering from insomnia night after night.

Her heart was in turmoil and aching.

Her grades plummeted as a result.

She failed the college entrance exam, scoring only 543 points, which was far from enough to get her into her dream university.

When the results came out and it was time to fill out college applications, Sun Qifeng suggested that she choose several vocational colleges.

"Although I failed the exam, my score is still high enough to meet the admission requirements of some undergraduate universities..." Sun Aidi said cautiously.

Sun Qifeng frowned, his face full of disapproval: "Aidi, I don't think it's necessary."

"Why?" Sun Aidi asked.

"There's no reason why, just do as I say. There's nothing wrong with enrolling in a vocational college."

“Or…” Sun Aidi pursed her lips, as if trying to confirm something, and mustered her courage to say, “Or I can repeat a year.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Qifeng's face darkened abruptly, and he said sternly, "Impossible!"

Seemingly having heard the expected answer, Sun Aidi remained expressionless, her eyes fixed on him.

Sun Qifeng adjusted his glasses, his tone now more authoritative, “You have two choices: first, go to the vocational college I’ve chosen for you; second, go to work.”

"Gah~ Xiao Di cried under the covers for a long, long time that night." Tuan Tuan Duck felt sad just thinking about it. "Later, when Dad and Mom took Yang Yang on a trip, Grandma was even harsher on Xiao Di!"

"How could she treat Xiaodi like that?" Jiang Yuan's expression turned solemn, her heart growing even heavier.

She could hardly imagine how Sun Aidi had gotten through those days.

Fortunately, there was Tuantuan Duck, who stayed by her side when she was lonely and sad.

Tuan Tuan Duck: "Quack quack~ Grandma always calls Xiao Di a money-loser."

"You good-for-nothing, get out here!" Grandma banged on Sun Aidi's door, cursing, "So you dare lock the door? Is this your house?"

Sun Aidi was having menstrual cramps and was lying weakly in bed resting when she was startled awake by a knocking on the door. She got out of bed, opened the door, and was unexpectedly slapped.

"You lazy bum, what time is it and you're still sleeping? Hurry up and come out with me!" Grandma said with a sharp and sarcastic tone.

Sun Aidi covered her face, forced a smile, and said indifferently, "My stomach hurts, I don't want to go out."

"No!" Grandma dragged her out by force.

Sun Aidi frowned, her face as white as paper. "Grandma, my stomach really hurts."

"Useless good-for-nothing!" Grandma scolded as she pulled him, "You do nothing all day but eat and sleep, you money-losing brat!"

Sun Aidi was dragged onto a bus and taken to a small warehouse where bags were piled up like a small mountain and it was as hot as an oven.

Grandma put her hands on her hips and said, "Starting today, you'll come here to work. Stop pretending to be dead at home all day."

Sun Aidi clutched her stomach, finding it difficult even to stand. "Grandma, can I come again tomorrow? I'm really feeling unwell right now."

“You’re only feeling unwell because you’ve been lying down too much. Your laziness has kicked in, and you need to do more work to cure it.” Grandma pushed her over to work, then turned to the person in charge and said, “Team leader, my granddaughter is working. Give me all the money she earns, don’t give it to her, okay?”

"Gah~ Little Di said that night that she felt like she was about to die." Tuan Tuan Duck's beady eyes welled up with tears as she said this. "Little Di also said that what she was most worried about was Duck, but why didn't she take Duck with her when she left? Waaah, Little Di, Duck misses Little Di..."
