While I was picking up trash in the impoverished mountains,
my wealthy father announced on the news that he would spend 1.2 billion to build an amusement park for his adopted son.
I clutched the 6 yuan and 4 mao I'd earned from selling scrap and nervously called him.
"Dad, the school needs us to pay for lunch. It's one yuan a day..."
Gu Hong cut me off. "I sent you back to the mountains to toughen you up. Why have you only learned to hold out your hand for money like a beggar?"
He hung up. My eyes reddened with humiliation.
Then several lines of comments suddenly drifted across my vision.
[What a load of nonsense about toughening her up. Gu Hong dumped his biological daughter in the mountains just to make room for his beloved's son.]
[Poor girl was manipulated by her scumbag dad from such a young age, and eventually died alone in the mountains, cold and starving.]
[I don't want to see that ending. Go find the village head, girl, and make Gu Hong fulfill his duty to support you!]
