Chapter 1 The Seed of Rebellion
In front of the dark red wooden door, a middle-aged woman was smashing the handle with a big hammer.There was a chaotic sound of "dong dong dong", and the door was forcibly pried open.

Immediately, sharp sword-like reprimands came...

Li Lifen's voice was loud, and every sentence pierced Tang Xiaoya's heart.

She lowered her head, bit her lip, and stood timidly by the desk, for fear that her mother would give her a hammer suddenly.

Even so, Li Lifen still used her penetrating voice to reprimand Tang Xiaoya over and over again, saying that she didn't understand the hard work of raising children, and even wanted to secretly apply for volunteering without telling her parents.

One is trembling and the other is aggressive.

"I don't like English, I hate being a teacher."

"Don't like it? I don't like going to work, I don't like cooking, can I not go, can I leave you alone?"

"The teacher said that interest is the most important thing. If you force me like this, I won't be able to learn well if I go there. I pay tuition for nothing. Have you considered my feelings?"

Tang Xiaoya's words instantly angered Li Lifen.

She patted her chest, panting heavily.

"How do you feel? I think you are very hungry. If you don't give you food for three days, you will know how difficult it is for us to earn money. Every day you just know how stubborn you are. If an adult says something, you dare to say three words, the teacher will say it." Is that how you were educated?"

"Then don't raise me, just let me starve to death. Anyway, I'm not your own, right? In your heart, I'm not as important as an orange cat."

"It's like playing the piano to a cow, then you'll be hungry, who are you scaring?"

Faced with crying, Li Lifen did not soften her heart.

She threw the sledgehammer on the table, picked up Tang Xiaoya's notebook, and left.

Tang Xiaoya wiped her tears, angry and hated.

She guessed that it was probably her younger brother Tang Xiaofeng who sued again, otherwise her mother would not have found out so quickly that she had secretly taken the notebook out of the cabinet.

Even though this Tang Xiaofeng was only 6 years old and couldn't even write his name well, he followed Tang Xiaoya's buttocks all day to inquire about various news, taking the pleasure of complaining.

There will be no major disasters, but minor disasters will continue.

A few minutes later, the big iron gate in the yard closed with a "snap".

Tang Xiaoya knew that her mother was angry and went out, so she wiped away her tears, walked quickly to the living room, and yelled at the yard.

"Tang Xiaofeng, come here for me."

"Sister, can I go in and watch cartoons?"

Seeing her childish younger brother rushing in, Tang Xiaoya's heart that was about to get angry suddenly softened like a deflated balloon.

After all, Tang Xiaofeng was just a child.

How could he have imagined how much trouble and pain this lawsuit would bring to his sister Tang Xiaoya.

"Go watch TV and turn down the volume."

"Wow, you can watch TV. My sister is so nice, I love you."

Tang Xiaofeng ran to the living room in a hurry.

Quickly turned the TV volume down to the minimum, then picked up the orange cat and watched the reality show.

The sound of potato chips is very crisp, and the show is also very exciting.

Sometimes, Tang Xiaoya is really envious of her younger brother, envious that he can watch TV and eat snacks so carefree.

But I have to stay up late and study hard, and I still can't get a little understanding from my mother.

She couldn't remember the last time she watched TV, and all the incomplete fragments remained in her mind.

Tang Xiaoya's childhood was busy. Even during the winter and summer vacations, she didn't have much time to play with her classmates. She either went to the Peiyou class to study or was taken by her mother to participate in various competitions.

Grade-jumping students are both a halo and a shackle,

She always thought that she could get rid of it by graduating from high school, but she didn't even have the right to choose a major.

In an instant, all the bad emotions came to my heart.

She covered her mouth and hid in the corner of the bedroom, howling and crying for a long, long time.

The wind in summer is restless, and the sun is mercilessly burning the quiet courtyard, making it so hot that people can't breathe.

At twelve noon, Tang Guodong came back from get off work.

As soon as he entered the living room, before hanging the keys on the shelf, Tang Xiaoya ran out of the bedroom.As if he had suffered a great grievance, he pursed his lips and rushed into his arms with tears in his eyes.

The sudden impact startled Tang Guodong.

"Dad, you are finally back."

"What's the matter, Xiaoya, what happened?"

Tang Xiaoya raised her head and looked at her anxious father, crying more and more sadly.

"Father, am I an adopted child? Why doesn't my mother like me so much? Whatever I do... She doesn't like it, so she will pick my fault. "

Some crying made Tang Guodong feel more at ease.

It turned out that nothing serious happened, but that the mother and daughter had quarreled again.

This kind of thing happens almost every few days.Tang Guodong is also always caught in the middle of a dilemma, unable to judge who is right and who is wrong.

He patted Tang Xiaoya's head lightly.

"You're just talking nonsense. Dad watched you when you were born. At that time, you were so small, even smaller than an orange cat, hahaha."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. When did Dad lie to you?"

"But I don't want to report English...I just like computers. Mom...why do you have to force me? I don't think she likes me at all...only my younger brother."

Tang Xiaoya twitched while crying.He spoke intermittently, and choked up several times in the middle.

How can a father not feel bad for his daughter crying like this.

Although Tang Guodong loved Tang Xiaoya very much, he would buy whatever he wanted on weekdays, pampering and spoiling her like a little princess.

There is nothing that can be done as a volunteer.

His educational level is not high, and he only went to junior high school, while his wife Li Lifen graduated from university.

Therefore, he let his wife make the decisions on all matters related to learning, and never dared to express any opinions indiscriminately.

"Hey, don't cry, mom and dad love you very much."

"Then can you help me persuade my mother?"

"Xiaoya, in fact, it's good for a girl to learn English and be a teacher. She can't be blown by the wind and rain, and the older she gets, the more popular she is. Your mother thinks long-term, and it's all for your own good. Dad supports it. "

"It turns out that you don't like me either. You and your mother are in the same group, and you don't like me."

"No, Xiaoya, how could Mom and Dad dislike you. Dad just thinks that Mom is doing it for your own good, and she's right. Be good, be obedient, let's learn English, okay?"

After hearing what her father said, Tang Xiaoya was extremely disappointed.

She wiped the tears from her face, dragged her heavy steps, and slowly went back to her room.

Seeing his sister crying, Tang Xiaofeng quickly followed in with a lollipop.

Be cute for a while, act like a baby for a while.

Tang Xiaoya was so teased that she couldn't laugh or cry, so she ate the chocolate-flavored lollipop.

"Sister, my mother said that I will make braised pork tonight."

"My sister is not hungry and doesn't want to eat."

"Are you trying to lose weight?"

"um, yes."

"Sister, after going to college, can I watch TV every day and play with my mobile phone?"

"I don't know either, maybe."

Tang Xiaoya's mood was very low, she didn't have any thoughts to think about these things.Even her favorite braised pork is useless at this time.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Lifen led Tang Xiaoya to No. [-] Middle School of City H.

Under the enlightenment of teacher Liu, the class teacher, and her mother's reprimand, Tang Xiaoya compromised and filled in X City University without any resistance, majoring in English.

On this day, she is not yet 17 years old.

Mother's hegemony and father's weakness planted a rebellious seed in Tang Xiaoya's young heart.

It will deeply affect her future college life and future path.
