The words are full of sorrow, anger, despair and hopelessness.
Hai Tong looks through her sister’s diary, remembering the past, and tears fall like rain.
“Grandparents, they quarrelled with grandparents and uncles for more money, they all wanted more, no one cared about us sisters, no one said they would adopt and take care of us, my mum and dad are dead, all they thought about was sharing the money, they didn’t care about us sisters’ feelings, is this family?”
“Papa, Mama, come back quickly, do you know what your daughters are suffering? Why are you so cruel to leave me and my sister behind?”
“Is it raining, is it that God is taking pity on my sister and me for not having a mother and father? We have become children without parents, I call for my father and he won’t answer me anymore, I call for my mother and she can’t hear me anymore, looking at my sister’s clueless look, I cry and she cries too.”
“My sister always asks me when mummy and daddy will come back. She misses her mum and dad.”
“I put my arms around my sister and cried, telling her that my mum and dad would never come back, that they had gone to heaven and left me and my sister behind, and that we had become orphans, children without a mum and dad ……”
……
“Grandparents, in order to ask for more money, said that as long as they were given a share of 600,000, they would not need my sisters to raise them in the future, and they would not need our sisters to be buried when they died, also, they had a large number of children and grandchildren, and they did not have to worry about the matter of old age.”
“They only want money, money money money, is money more important than kinship, is money more important than their grandchildren? That money is what their son and daughter-in-law paid for with their lives. Oh, my parents are dead, they don’t have to consider the feelings of the dead at all.” m.
“They got the money after all, grandparents took 600,000 yuan, grandparents felt they couldn’t take a loss, they also wanted to take the remaining 600,000 yuan, my parents used their lives to get the compensation money, they all took it, what will my sister and I do in the future?”
“The village chief insisted on leaving my sisters a sum of money to ensure our future living and schooling needs, and in the end, Grandpa and his family took away 400,000 yuan and said the same thing: they didn’t need to raise us in life, they didn’t need to bury us in death, my mother was not their biological daughter, and 400,000 yuan was used to buy off my mother’s relationship with them. ”
……
“My grandparents beat me and my sister mercilessly with arm-thick sticks, they wanted to kick us out, saying that when mum and dad left, the house they left behind was for them to retire, I cried and argued, “That’s the house my parents built, why not let my sisters live there anymore?”
“Everyone in the village sympathised with our sisters, but they couldn’t argue with my grandmother, and my uncles and cousins helped my grandparents, scolding those villagers who sympathised with us and scolding them for meddling in their affairs.”
“My sister’s and my things, they were all thrown on the ground, and they smashed the frame of my mother’s effigy, threatening to burn my parents’ effigy in a fire if we didn’t get out.”
……
“It was raining again, it was pouring, I was holding my parents’ effigy, holding my sister’s hand, carrying our simple luggage, braving the rain, taking one step and three steps back, and finally leaving, my sister and I were still kids, we couldn’t fight those adults of theirs.”
“Mum and dad, I’m sorry, my sister and I are useless, we can’t even keep our home ……”
……
Netizens looked at Hailing’s diary and imagined the image, and many commented underneath, crying at the sight.
There were also villagers who spoke up for the two Hai Tong sisters, accusing the Hai family of going too far.
Netizens realised that they had been deceived earlier.
The so-called grandparents had not worked hard to raise their granddaughter to adulthood, let alone contribute money to the teaching of books, but instead took a large share of the compensation money after the accidental death of their son and daughter-in-law.
