I blocked her.
After that, I never answered calls from unknown numbers again.
My mom couldn't find me.
She didn't know where I was.
Because she never asked for my address.
Every time I called her to share my daily life, she always seemed impatient.
"Why are you saying all this? Who has time to listen to you?"
"Aren't you making money? Why don't you send me some?"
"If you earn money and don't send me any, that's unfilial."
During the New Year, my aunts would ask her why she didn't bring me back home.
She always acted nonchalant: "Tingting is busy with work and can't come back."
If pressed too hard, she would angrily put Xiao Li's hat on me—
"Who knows her? Always running around outside, not even sure what kind of job she has, earning a few thousand a month."
"Our Tingting just doesn't listen; all she does is spend money and doesn't know how to earn it, making us worry sick."
"Just think about it, in today's society, what good future does a girl have working outside?"
"I heard she seems to have a boyfriend out there; who knows? We can't control her."
...
I knew these words were meant for others to hear.
She placed Xiao Li's situation onto me, clearing herself of any blame.
Every time I sent her money, after receiving it, she wouldn't ask how I was doing or show any concern for my work and life; she would just say lightly, "Oh, received it."
Occasionally, she would call:
"Tingting, it's okay, just make sure to send some money back."
"Your mother and I can't earn money, so we can only rely on you."
I said, "Mom, I don't have any money either. I'm working hard too."
"You know that I'm out here struggling alone; it's not easy."
Every time my mom hears this, she immediately blows up: "Tingting, how can you say that?"
"After all these years of raising you, is this how you repay me?"
"Your sister earns more; you should learn from her."
"Tingting, you can't be so selfish."
I sent the results of the paternity test and part of the letter to my cousin Xiao Wanwan.
Xiao Wanwan's biggest characteristic is her gossiping nature.
Once she knows, she will definitely tell other family members.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before she blew up our family group chat.
Everyone was tagging My Mom, demanding that she come out and explain.
My Mom tagged me in the group, asking me to clarify things.
I didn't want to respond to her.
I simply left the family group.
Xiao Wanwan apologized to me.
She said she really didn't mean to do it.
She just wanted to help me vent my frustrations.
Unexpectedly, she ended up making things worse.
At this point, she got excited again—
"Tingting, did you know?"
"Ever since I leaked this information, the group has been in chaos."
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt were having a fierce argument."
"They both claimed they hadn't done anything wrong, and to prove their innocence, they revealed each other's scandals."
"Second Uncle said that Second Aunt had a First Love outside, that she eloped with him, and only returned after Gambler died."
"Second Aunt said that Second Uncle was actually inadequate and that he was willing to wear a green hat for money."
My cousin sent me a message.
"By the way, I have some explosive news to tell you: Second Uncle and Second Aunt are getting divorced!"
I opened my social media feed and indeed saw that Parents had each posted:
"The days of suffering are over; a new life is about to begin!"
I replied to her, "Don't believe it; they're just putting on a show."
"Really, I overheard Second Uncle arguing with Second Aunt, and they've already divided their assets. The two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau early this morning!"
I know them too well; it's mostly for show.
Xiao Wanwan sent a helpless shrug emoji.
We chatted for a bit, and she made an excuse to go on a date before logging off.
