Over the past few years, I have lived frugally and gave all my saved living expenses to my younger brother, asking him to help me pass it on to the girls in the mountains who cannot go to school as tuition.
Girls in the mountains who were better off could only go to primary school. If they wanted to go to junior high school, they had to go to the county, which was expensive and most families could not afford it. Therefore, I asked my brother to personally pay the tuition to the school the girls were admitted to, to ensure that they could continue their studies.
That day, my brother came to visit me at school, bringing me clothes that my adoptive mother bought for me and letters that the girls asked my brother to bring. However, this scene happened to be seen by Lena Brown . She mocked my brother for his plain clothes and poor appearance, and also mocked him for wanting to climb up the social ladder and being like a beggar.
I scolded her severely, and then comforted my brother and told him that he would always be my brother.
A few years ago, my adoptive father broke his leg while working in the town. Since it was a private job, he could not get compensation. His leg was paralyzed and he only took some simple anti-inflammatory drugs.
The doctor said that if he was not treated in time, my adoptive father would be completely paralyzed. However , the cost of the operation was as high as hundreds of thousands, which was an astronomical figure for our poor family. At this time, my biological parents came to my house. When I left my adoptive parents' home, they gave me 100,000 yuan as compensation. Together with the difference in clothes I saved from my mother and my accumulated pocket money, a total of 60,000 yuan was paid to my adoptive mother.
Part of it was used to treat his adoptive father's leg injury, and the other part was used for his younger brother's studies.
Fortunately, the operation went smoothly, and after six months of recuperation, my adoptive father was able to go back to work and earn money.
With an extra worker in the family, life gradually improved.
Last year, my younger brother was admitted to a junior high school in the city, which is near our school. So, he and his family moved to the city and rented a house.
My adoptive father works at a construction site and my adoptive mother works as a waitress in a restaurant, and they live a colorful life.
I was finally able to get together with them occasionally, and my younger brother often came to visit me at school.
I had promised to lend my previous notes to my younger brother. When I went to look for him after school that day, he was nowhere to be seen at the agreed time.
I pulled out my phone to record a video and told him where I was, but suddenly I heard screams of pain coming from the alley next to me.
It was already a long time since school was over, and there was almost no one around.
I approached the alley cautiously, pressed close to the wall, and stretched out the camera of my mobile phone to record a video to find out what was going on. This sight scared me to death!
In the video, a group of gangsters are beating a boy.
One of them is Lena Brown!
The boy had his back to me, and although I couldn't see his face, I had a hunch that he was my brother!
