I let out a cold laugh. 0
"What if I don't back down?" 0
"If you don't back down, I'll personally go to your school and teach you a lesson!" 0
"Come on, I don't care anymore. We might as well go down together!" 0
With that, I hung up the phone. 0
 
I tagged everyone again. 0
"Dear uncles and aunts, thank you for your good intentions, but Xiao Chang doesn't want you to get involved. Whether I live or die, it's my own fate." 0
"By the way, Mom, weren't you going to teach me a lesson? Hurry up, I'm waiting." 0
 
This time, Mother didn't reply to my message. After a while, she sent a message in the group. 0
"Liu Shang, from now on, consider us as if we never existed as your parents, and you are no longer our daughter. Don't contact us again!" 0
 
Seeing this message made me laugh out loud. 0
Finally, finally they don't want me anymore. 0
That's great. 0
 
I exited the group chat, cutting ties with this family completely. 0
I hope you won't regret it in the future. 0
 
I posted another message. 0
"Sorry everyone, the last post about living expenses was sent by Mother, she used my account without my consent. Thank you all for your concern; if anything happens, I'll keep you updated." 0
I also attached a screenshot of the group chat. 0
"Thank you all for your support, but please don't reach out to my Parents. I've severed ties with them and hope everyone will bless me as I embark on a new life!" 0
 
Once I posted it, it exploded with responses. Many girls commented. 0
 
 
"Big sister, I support you!" 0
"Big sister, I understand you. I couldn't take it anymore with my parents either, so I ran away from home." 0
"..." 0
One comment made me cry. 0
" little fish, swim quickly, freedom is all around!" 0
I don’t know why, but when I saw that comment, memories of my time in the Scorching Summer Day flooded back to me—working in the kitchen. 0
Back then, I was washing vegetables while arguing with my family. 0
I told myself not to cry, but I couldn’t help it. 0
In a corner where no one could see me, I secretly cried. 0
At that moment, I finally let it all out. 0
I squatted on the ground and cried loudly. 0
My roommates noticed something was off and rushed over to ask what was wrong. 0
"Xiao Chang, what's wrong?" 0
"Xiao Chang, don't scare us!" 0
Some of them patted my back while others wiped my tears. 0
After crying for a while, I felt less suppressed inside. 0
I stood up and smiled at them. 0
"It's okay, I'm happy. I'm finally free." 0
They looked at me with suspicion, but seeing my determination, they went back to their own things. 0
I took a tutoring job in Nancheng, working two hours every Saturday and Sunday for fifty yuan an hour, with ten yuan for round-trip transportation—it was quite reasonable. 0
When I arrived at the employer's house, I found that the employer was a woman who looked to be no more than thirty years old and had a daughter in elementary school. 0
Her name was Chen Qian, and she told me she had divorced her husband. 0
I was a bit surprised and didn’t understand why she was telling me this. 0
 
 
She smiled bitterly. 0
"I was the one who brought up the divorce." 0
She paused for a moment. 0
"Because I can’t do housework anymore. He would make sarcastic remarks and mock me. When I didn’t argue back, he just escalated his behavior." 0
"Then one day, I couldn’t take it anymore and we got into a fight. My daughter was helping me wash a cup when he pushed her aside, causing the cup to shatter, and he cut his hand in the process." 0
"He was furious and yelled at my daughter, which led to me confronting him." 0
"He insulted me, saying that a woman who can’t do anything would have nowhere to go after divorcing him." 0
"I told him, then let’s get divorced. He said that if we divorced, I would leave with nothing. I just laughed and told him that I never thought about taking his money; I only wanted to ensure my daughter wouldn’t suffer because of me." 0
"Tell me, is there such a man?" 0
