Eight Demolished Houses and One Silk Quilt

About This Novel
On New Year's Eve, the whole family gathers together. "There are eight apartments in the demolition fund, six for your brother and two for your sister." Mom peeled the orange without even raising her head, as if to say that the weather today is nice. "What about me?" I asked. "Don't you have a new quilt? It's made of silk and costs several thousand yuan." Mom handed the peeled orange to her brother and answered matter-of-factly. I dropped out of school and worked for ten years to support my brother's studies abroad and my sister's plastic surgery. In the end, my efforts were only worth a quilt. "Okay." I nodded, "The quilt is quite good." Seeing that I didn't object, my mother's eyes flickered and she added: "When you get married, your in-laws will naturally take care of you."
