Why aren't you guys complaining now that I'm here?

"Qiaoqiao, have you received your salary yet? Why hasn't this month's 5,000 been transferred yet? Your eldest sister and second sister have both transferred it, so you're the only one left."

Hearing the impatient questioning voice coming from the headphones, Lin Hao came to his senses and looked up. It was dark, and he was riding an electric bike and wearing a yellow delivery uniform.

The cold wind mixed with snow blew towards her face, making her face stiff with cold.

Lin Hao frowned, looked around, and saw a milk tea shop nearby. She ran in, sat down, and rubbed her numb hands.

The system transmitted the plot.

The original person was Ding Yuqiao, 24 years old this year, who had just graduated from college two years ago. The woman who asked for money on the phone was her mother, Wang Huizhen.

Wang Huizhen and Ding Guoqiang had three daughters, the eldest daughter Ding Yumin, the second daughter Ding Yulin, and the youngest daughter Ding Yuqiao.

Since they had no son, the couple felt that their daughter did not deserve a good life, so they started to work from a young age.

He runs around from one house to another all day, playing cards or mahjong, leaving his three daughters to the elderly at home.

When the Ding family's grandparents were alive, the three sisters' lives were not too difficult. At least they had enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear and could go to school.

When Ding Yumin was ten years old, her grandparents died one after another, and hard times began for the three sisters.

Wang Huizhen and Ding Guoqiang were addicted to playing mahjong. Sometimes they would not go home for two or three days. Their family was poor, and the three sisters did not even have food to eat. They often fainted due to hypoglycemia.

Being very hungry, Ding Yumin took her two sisters to pick up bottles on the street and sell them for money to buy steamed buns.

Five years passed like this. Ding Yumin graduated from junior high school and was admitted to high school, but her family had no money to pay the tuition, so she had to drop out of school and go to work in other places.

She was too young and her salary was only 1,500 yuan. The factory provided accommodation, but food and drink required money.

Many of her co-workers are about the same age as her and still need financial support from their families, but she has to give Wang Huizhen 1,200 yuan every month.

After paying the bill, she only had three hundred yuan left in her pocket, which was only ten yuan a day. After deducting the toiletries and feminine hygiene products she needed to buy, she only had five or six yuan left a day.

In order to fill her stomach, she could only eat steamed buns and drink cold water for every meal. In just half a year, she was 1.65 meters tall and weighed less than 80 kilograms, looking like a skeleton with skin hanging on it.

Because of severe malnutrition, she fainted at work several times and was almost fired.

In order to let her earn money for herself outside, Wang Huizhen reluctantly left her an extra two hundred yuan every month after she found out.

Two years passed like this, and Ding Yumin started dating someone. The boy brought her home to meet his parents. The whole family was very satisfied with her and was willing to give a dowry at the highest level in the area near the Ding family.

Wang Huizhen and Ding Guoqiang were unwilling to do so.

My daughter can get married anytime. Let her earn some money for them for a few years first. Maybe the bride price will be higher in a few years.

In order to make the man give up, they made an outrageous request.

The man’s family was asked to give a betrothal gift of 500,000 yuan and buy a house and a car for the Ding family.

The boy's parents were furious and asked their son to break up with Ding Yumin on the spot.

After this incident, Ding Yumin became depressed and almost committed suicide. It was Ding Yulin and Ding Yuqiao who discovered something was wrong and rescued him.

By the time Ding Yumin adjusted her mood and went to work, Ding Yulin was old enough to go to high school.

Wang Huizhen and Ding Guoqiang used the same rhetoric again: it is useless for girls to go to school, it is better for them to go out to work early to reduce the burden on the family.

Unable to resist her parents, Ding Yulin dropped out of school.

She went to work with Ding Yumin in the factory and paid money to her family every month just like Ding Yumin.

Two years later, Ding Yumin's salary increased to 2,200 yuan. In order to leave a way out for herself, she told Wang Huizhen that it was only 2,000 yuan, and she secretly saved 200 yuan every month.

By the time Ding Yuqiao was old enough to go to high school, Ding Yumin was already 22.

For a girl who has not yet gone to school, this age is already considered old. If she does not find a partner now, she will have to marry someone of lower status.

In order to sell their daughter for a good price, Wang Huizhen and Ding Guoqiang spent several months looking for a matchmaker and finally chose a 35-year-old short, fat and "honest" man.

Because his family offered the highest bride price, a full 100,000 yuan.

The night before her wedding, Ding Yumin and Ding Yuling found Ding Yuqiao and gave her the 8,000 yuan they had saved over the years so that she could go to high school.

Ding Yuling also expressed her opinion, saying that she would secretly give her 500 yuan every month so that she would not have to worry about food.

Their lives are ruined, and their little sister is their last hope.

Although Wang Huizhen and Ding Guoqiang did not want Ding Yuqiao to go to school and wanted her to go out to work early to earn money to support them, with the strong support of her two sisters, she successfully went to high school.

Carrying the hopes of her two older sisters, Ding Yuqiao did not dare to slack off at all. During her three years of high school, she studied hard day and night, and finally got admitted to a 985 prestigious university with the first place in the school.

On the day she returned home after receiving the notice, someone came to her house to propose marriage to Ding Yulin.

The man has a slight disability in his legs, but his family runs a small business and has some savings, so he is willing to give a betrothal gift of 180,000 yuan.

The average bride price in their area is only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, and 180,000 yuan is already a sky-high price.

But Wang Huizhen and Ding Guoqiang were still not satisfied and insisted on asking for 200,000 yuan.

Although the man's family agreed, they were quite dissatisfied with Ding Yulin because of this matter and often made things difficult for her after the marriage.

Let’s talk about Ding Yuqiao. Because she was admitted to a top 985 university, her homeroom teacher came to her home to congratulate her and brought 20,000 yuan as a reward from the school.

Wang Huizhen and Ding Guoqiang felt proud and thought that she would be able to fetch a good price if she went to college, so they stopped trying to stop her from going to school.

But even though we agreed, it was impossible to ask them to pay tuition. Not only that, they also put the 20,000 yuan reward from the school into their own pockets.

In order to save tuition, Ding Yuqiao went out to work during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination and earned more than 5,000 yuan. She also applied for a student loan before she was finally able to enroll.

During her four years in college, Ding Yuqiao managed to complete her studies smoothly with the help of student loans, scholarships, grants and money earned from part-time jobs.

After graduation, she successfully got a job at a large company. Because of her good performance and hard work, she was diligent and motivated, and she received a salary of 7,000 after being hired as a regular employee.

On the day of salary payment, Wang Huizhen and Ding Guoqiang called her at the exact time, asking her how much her salary was and asking her to transfer money home.

Ding Yuqiao lied and said that her salary was only four thousand.

Wang Huizhen didn't believe it, saying that she went to a prestigious university and her salary couldn't be that much, so she asked her to send the monthly deposit records on her salary card.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Ding Yuqiao could only tell her the truth.

"I knew you were dishonest, you little bitch! You're such an unfilial thing, I shouldn't have let you go to school in the first place. As expected, you've become wild since you started school. Now you don't even care about your family, and you even dared to lie to me."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Huizhen and Ding Guoqiang yelled at each other, and finally asked Ding Yuqiao to pay 6,000 yuan to her family every month.

But Ding Yuqiao's rent alone costs 1,200 yuan, and if she really pays 6,000 yuan, she will have no need to live.

After much persuasion, Wang Huizhen finally reluctantly agreed to let her pay only 5,000.
