They sleep in my room and I have to sleep on the crouch.<\/p>\n<p>Their things drop on the floor. All those specialties taken from hometown are placed everywhere. I sweep and collect from 1:00 pm till 11:00 pm.<\/p>\n<p>Their snores have already flew out from the bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>I wash my face and sleep on the couch exhaustedly.<\/p>\n<p>My mother get up at 5:00 in the morning. She makes noise in the kitchen and I can\u2019t sleep. Usually I get up at 8 o\u2019clock and now my biological clock is completely disturbed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom. Why are you getting up so early?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI leavened dough last night, now I am making you bun\u201d She says.<\/p>\n<p>I smile and say nothing. I never eat bun. But my father loves it.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why my mother gets up so early and works hard is to play up to my father.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t sleep, so I have to get up.<\/p>\n<p>My mother steams bun and goes out from the kitchen. She helds my hands to sit on the couch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJane, mom wants to tell you something.\u201d I frown. I know she definitely wants to say something that would make me headache.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t say a word and just look at her.<\/p>\n<p>She continues this topic even I don\u2019t respond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJane, can you make it up with Andrew Malan? What would you do as a divorced woman? What about your brother\u2019s work? We count on Andrew Malan\u2019s relationship to get your brother into his company before. Now it seems impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, please don\u2019t mention Andrew Malan.\u201d I interrupt her impatiently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNonsense! In these years, all men mind if this woman is a second used or if she is a virgin!\u201d My mother claims.<\/p>\n<p>Having a mother like her, I have nothing to say. I grab my purse and go to work.<\/p>\n<p>It would be impossible to live with them any longer. Either they could go back to the countryside, or I would rent another house for them. But now I only have one thousand dollars and bore a huge debt. I myself have already been deeply troubled. I really don\u2019t have the ability to care about them.<\/p>\n<p>I know they have savings. But that is saved for my brother, it has nothing to do with me. Born in this prefer-boy- to-girl family, I don\u2019t have any hope on them at all.<\/p>\n<p>I go downstairs and want to have breakfast. I check my purse and there is only ten bucks. I put my purse on the couch and the money disappears. It must be my mother!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s my last money.<\/p>\n<p>I call my mother and ask her where is my money. She tells me that she has already transferred it to my brother.<\/p>\n<p>How pitiful I am to have such parents!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-38","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/38","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
