Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as I was feeling annoyed, someone entered the house. I thought that my mother had returned. After all, she was the only one with the keys. However, to my surprise, the person who came was my aunt.
“Shen Ling, your mother asked me to give this to you,” my aunt said to me with a smile.

“Auntie, why are you here? Where’s my mom?” I asked. I didn’t want my mom to come over. I just wanted to ask what I should do with all the things here.

“Why are you looking for your mother? She’s lecturing someone up there.”

‘My aunt asked me curiously.

“I just wonder where these things should be placed?” I explained to my aunt.

“Oh, you actually treat these things as treasures? These are all left behind by the previous owner. No one lived here before, so we left them here. You can just throw them away.”

‘My aunt looked at me with a smile. I wondered why this aunt kept smiling, but I didn’t ask.

“Oh, I see.”

I whispered, feeling a little embarrassed. I couldn’t blame others for laughing at me for treating these things like treasures.

With that said, I planned to start cleaning up, but I looked at the mountain of trash and didn’t know where to start.

Seeing that I was in trouble, my aunt couldn’t help but say to me, “Sigh, why did Sister Yan let a child like you clean up alone? Let me help you. Since there are no guests in the afternoon, I’ll be merciful and help you.”
“Thank you, Aunt.”

I thanked my aunt gratefully. I knew that Yan Yan should be my mother.

“What’s there to thank? Just don’t call me aunt in the future.”

“If I don’t call you aunt, what should I call you? Don’t you call my mom sister?” I asked curiously.

“T’ve long forgotten my real name. Now, they all call me Anna. You can just call me Sister Na. Don’t call me aunt. I don’t want to feel old,” Anna said helplessly.

I nodded and called her “Sister Na”.

However, I didn’t expect her to be so happy after hearing that. She even told me to tell her if I needed her help in the future.

After that, the two of us cleaned up the trash for the entire afternoon and then the entire room. In the end, Anna even took a bottle of air freshener from her room and sprayed it in the room.

At night, Anna and I ate together. She bought the ingredients while I made the food. She kept praising me for being able to make such delicious food at such a young age. She said that after growing up, I would definitely be able to marry an especially good man. After all, one can conquer a man by
conquering his stomach.

Iwas teased by Anna until my face turned red. When she mentioned marriage, I couldn’t help but think of Liu Tao. Then, I shook my head fiercely and told myself that I had nothing to do with him anymore.
After all, something like that had already happened between me and Instructor Liu. At this moment, I really don’t have the courage to face Liu Tao.

Seeing my abnormality, Anna leaned closer and asked me curiously, “Do you have a boy you like? Come and tell me what kind of person he is and I’ll teach you how to woo a boy.”

I blushed and shook my head, saying that I didn’t have one. I just wanted to study now and not think about that nonsense.

Sister Anna had a look of disbelief and was about to continue asking when there was a knock on the door.

Those who could come here to knock on the door were either here to look for me or Anna. I hurriedly escaped to open the door. I didn’t want her to continue asking.

“Mom, what’s wrong with your face?”

At the door was my mother, holding a huge camouflage bag. However, at this moment, my mother’s face was covered in bruises. She had clearly been beaten.

“What’s my problem have to do with you? I’ve brought you a blanket. After we eat, quickly get Anna to help me apply medicine!”

I knew something must have happened. Otherwise, how could my mother have been beaten for no reason?

However, my mother did not give me a chance to ask further and turned to leave.

Hearing that my mother had something to tell him, Anna hurriedly left with her food. For a moment, I was alone.

I washed the dishes and lay on the bed alone.

I was thinking about what I should do in the future. After all, my mom must have had a difficult time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sold me to Instructor Liu. Now that I was here, I had become her burden.
However, I did not want to be useless, so I planned to go out and work and earn my own tuition and living fees.

‘The next day, before my mother even arrived, I left the house and went to find a job. After searching for an entire day, I finally found a restaurant that was hiring chefs for the summer break.

Thappily signed a contract with my boss and agreed to come to work early the next morning.

‘When I returned at noon, I saw Anna waiting anxiously at the door of my room.

Seeing that I was back, Anna hurriedly pulled my hand and asked, “You damn girl, what’s wrong with you? Where did you go? Your mother was looking for you for a long time and couldn’t find you. She was so anxious.”
“L.. went out to find a job,” I stammered as I tried to explain, wondering what had happened to make my mother so anxious to find me.

“Alright, stop explaining to me. Go find your mother. Otherwise, she’ll explode in anger.” Anna took my hand and led me upstairs.

‘When I arrived at my mother’s house, my mother saw me and immediately asked me with a cold face, “Where did you go? Don’t you know to tell me when you’re out?”

“Mom, I know you’r living a difficult life, so I don’t want to be a burden in your life. I went to find a job to earn tuition fees. I didn’t go out to play.”

I felt like explaining.

‘My mother looked at me strangely and said, “Alright, alright. Tell me when you go to work tomorrow and when you get off work. I can’t control a child like you anymore. Go back.”

Iwas somewhat touched when I heard this. Although my mother had always cursed or acted like she disliked me, I still felt that my mother cared about me.

However, I didn’t dare to stay here any longer and rushed back to my room.

In the afternoon, my mother sent me a pile of undergarments for me to wash. I was somewhat puzzled as to why there were so many undergarments here. My mother and Anna were so lazy that they never washed after changing.
As for grudges, I didn’t have any. Instead, I was somewhat happy. I was able to help my mother. I didn’t have to feel like a parasite that only knows how to receive.

Since she had nothing to do this afternoon, Anna came to visit me again. I could sense that she liked being with me. I could sense the joy in her heart.

Looking at the pile of undergarments in front of me, Anna couldn’t help but ask curiously, “These are all yours? That’s not right. Some of them belong to me.”

“My mom asked me to wash them,” I replied as I washed it again.

“What? Sister Yan is too much. No, I have to ask her what’s wrong with her. You finally returned to her side. How could she let you do this?”

As she spoke, she was about to go upstairs and argue with my mother..
