When Lin Ruoyu returned home, it was almost 9:30 pm. Her mother had finished cooking and was waiting for her. After a tiring day, Ruoyu was already hungry. After showering, she changed into a simple set of casual clothes and sat at the table to eat. Ruoyu was already used to this. Every time she came back late, her mother would leave some food for her.
The father, who was sitting at the side, looked at his daughter who was eating with an expression of heartache. She had to bear the burden of the family at such a young age. Ruoyu had really suffered a lot these years. Ever since she fell sick, she had practically been the one supporting the family. She had to study and earn money at the same time. It had been three years. Ever since she was in the first year of high school, Ruoyu had to do odd jobs for two hours after school. There was no need to talk about Sunday and weekends. She was the only good daughter in this family that she could be proud of, but she had to bear such a huge pressure. As a father, this was the most heartbreaking thing for him.
Her mother had lost her ability to work five years ago. Two years ago, she had a car accident, and her brother would never speak. Her mother was not in good health, and because her father had severe kidney failure, she could only take care of her father at home and do some housework.
Because her brother couldn't speak, his family's financial situation forced him to drop out of school and work at a construction site. Even if he worked hard, he couldn't earn much money.
Ruo Yu had insisted on dropping out of school many times, but her brother and father were against it. The siblings were the only ones to pay for the family expenses. Her brother was the one who paid for her school fees. Ruo Yu had to work part-time to earn a little bit of money for the family expenses, so her brother had become the main laborer in the family. It was really tough and she could not come back for many days. For this reason, Ruo Yu had to work even harder to take care of the family.
It was the weekend and it had been three months since then. Today was the day for her brother to go home. It was already ten o'clock. Ruoyu cleaned up the dishes and went out to wait for her brother.
"Tomoko, if Ruofeng comes back, tell him not to go to such a faraway place to build buildings. Just find some work nearby. Sigh, I don't think I have much time left.”Lin Yuren, who was sitting on the sofa, said sadly to his wife as he watched Ruo Yu leave.
"Why are you saying that again? How can this family not have you? No matter what, you have to live well. Ruofeng, Ruoyu, and the others are very fortunate, but you're the motivation for their lives. If you're no longer around, what will happen to this family?”Tomoko cried out in pain.
"Enough, Tomoko. Having you by my side for so many years is already enough. I've implicated you for so many years. What's there to be dissatisfied about? Thank you, mother, for letting me live happily for so many years.”Lin Yuren said painfully as he wiped his tears.
Tomoko took her husband's hand and held it tightly." I don't want you to say that. If that day really comes, I don't want to live anymore. Yuren, we've been living together all these years. How can you get used to the days without me?" No matter how many years I have to take care of you, as long as you're still here and the children are still here, I can endure any hardship. But you must be strong and watch our children live happily. One day, when Ruo Yu gets married, Ruofeng gets married, and we have grandchildren, we can leave without any worries.”
Lin Yuren's tears fell. He held his wife's hand and was so touched that he was speechless. However, his tears could not stop flowing down their tightly held hands.
Fate did not always care for everyone. It would hurt people inadvertently. Ruoyu was unfortunate. She was abandoned by her biological parents, but she was lucky enough to be adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Lin. At the same time, she had to suffer all kinds of hardships that fate had given her. It was not easy for her to have a home, but she had to suffer all kinds of tests that ordinary people did not have. She had learned how to be strong, struggle, and grow in adversity under the hands of fate.
"Brother." Ruo Yu ran over to her brother who had returned home in ecstasy. Lin Ruofeng was a tall, handsome, and gentlemanly man. At first glance, it was hard to tell that he was someone who had just returned from a construction site. He had a gentle and refined air about him, and his inner manliness was truly the finest among men. Who could tell that he was speechless at this moment?
He pulled on Ruo Yu and Ruo Feng as if they hadn't seen each other for a thousand years. He hugged his sister who was one head shorter than him and asked with sign language," Okay? You did very well this time, right?"
"Why do you care about this? Why didn't you tell me why you only came back a few months ago? Do you know how worried I was?”Ruo Yu hit Ruo Feng again and said unhappily, tears hiding in her eyes.
"Aren't we back now? "What's there to worry about? I'm already an adult. I'll take good care of myself," Ruo Feng said with his hand gestures.
In his heart, he was also worried about Ruoyu. He missed her every minute and every second. He knew that he could not do this, but the secret love he had for Ruoyu for many years was not so easy to get rid of. He had liked her since he was young and had been in love with her since he was young. He had been pestering her in the orphanage and lived with her for more than ten years. However, fate had to be so ruthless to tease him. Before he could express his feelings to her, he was speechless. The pleasant voice he used to have was gone forever. From then on, He buried his feelings deep in his heart, but he could never erase Ruo Yu's passionate gaze.
"What if you fall sick again after not coming home for so long? I won't allow you to go to such a far place again. Just stay at home. I'll support you, understand? I have a job, and the salary is not low! I didn't tell my parents. I wanted to give them a surprise!”Ruo Yu held onto Ruo Feng and said excitedly.
Ruo Feng looked at the happy Ruo Yu with a hurt expression. He hated himself for being useless. He could not give his family a rich life, but he still had to let his young sister work part-time to earn money to support the family. Ruo Yu was about to go to university, and he was really worried about Ruo Yu's tuition fees!
"Continue! But after this period of time, you have to prepare for college. You didn't even tell me if you did well in the exams just now. No matter if you did well or not, you have to prepare for college, understand?”Ruo Feng said with a heavy expression.
"Brother, I don't want to. You've already suffered enough these years. Dad and Mom are not in good health, but you still have to support me to go to university. Don't you think it's unrealistic? Dad's health is getting worse by the day because he doesn't have money. He has already been neglected for three years because of me. If he really waits until the day when he can't be cured, it will be too late. She could choose not to study, but her father's illness must be treated.”
"But-? Ruo Feng sighed deeply, feeling extremely down.
"Brother! Don't be sad. Fortunately, this family has you. Otherwise, I really don't know how to live! Don't worry, I won't give up on my studies. When I have time, I can learn by myself. Many famous people are self-taught. I can do it too. For our parents, for this family, let us siblings work hard together, okay!”Ruo Yu raised her right fist and encouraged," Lin Ruofeng, you can do it!”
Ruo Feng smiled bitterly. His heart ached more than a knife. What could he do? Her cute and brave sister was never afraid of the pressure of life. No matter how difficult it was, she would face it with optimism. Work hard was her mantra and also her motivation. The more difficult it was, the harder she had to work.
"Ruoyu, if you really don't want to go to university and want to find a job, Dad won't agree. Also, Mom mentioned selling the house last time and asked me to discuss it with you.
"Sell a house?" Ruo Yu did not understand. At the mention of selling a house, Ruo Yu felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
"That's right! Dad's illness can't be delayed any longer. If he needs a kidney transplant, we can't afford that much money. What should we do? Dad can't do any more Dialysis. We have to be prepared.”
Ruo Yu felt weak and weak. Her heart ached when she thought of her father. If only she was his biological daughter!
" Yes, we'll discuss this with Mom later. I don't have any objections, but I'm just a little reluctant to part with that family. I remember when Mom and Dad first brought us home, I felt like we were in heaven. We left the orphanage, had Mom and Dad, and had the home we yearned for. You know, I was so excited that I didn't sleep that night. I was afraid that if I closed my eyes, I would lose everything.”Ruo Yu said with tears streaming down her face, holding back her grief. She knew that this family meant a lot to the siblings.
Ruo Feng bit his lips and looked at the grieving Ruo Yu. His heart was bleeding and tears were rolling in his eyes. No matter how hard he tried, they still fell.
That home was heaven, their warm home. If they didn't have a home, they could exchange it for their adoptive father's life. What was wrong with that? As long as the family was together, they would be happy even if they lived on the streets.
"There will be a family, and Dad will get better!”Ruo Feng placed his hands on Ruo Yu's shoulders and comforted her with his hand language. "Let's work hard together!"
Ruo Yu wiped away her tears and held Ruo Feng's hand. They looked at each other and smiled in comfort, but their hearts were in pain.
The night sky was dim, and the street lights were lit leisurely, giving people a deep feeling. The stars in the sky were bright and dazzling. There was only one lone star, shining with its brightness. No one knew what star it was, but it was so bright in the vast night sky that it made people fascinated.
