“In the future, you will have your own life, so take care of your own living expenses and tuition. If you cannot earn money, then quit school. I will have nothing to do with you, so there is no need to call home,” the Chinese father told his daughter before she went to school.
The article below is shared by a girl named Tieu Ninh (30 years old) and is being shared on the Toutiao platform.
Dad's attitude towards his daughter changed since he got a new woman.
According to everyone, when I was 2 years old, my mother passed away due to a serious illness. Since my mother passed away, my father became a single parent. As both a father and a mother, my father struggled to raise me alone. He had to work many jobs to earn money to give me a comfortable life.
To create the best living conditions for me, at one point, my father worked two jobs at the same time. Working hard, he also took on the responsibility of taking care of my grandparents. Once, my grandparents persuaded my father to remarry so that there would be more people to take care of the family. But my father absolutely did not agree.
Until I was in middle school, my father suddenly brought home a woman named Ly. He said that I had to call this person aunt and would live with her for the time being.
At that time, I really hated my father. With my childish thinking, I thought he was a traitor to my mother. Because of this reason, Aunt Ly and I were like two strangers. Even though that woman always loved and took care of me with all her heart.
Since Aunt Li came to live with us, Dad's attitude towards me has completely changed. He used to do things for me, but now he lets me do them myself. Sometimes Aunt Li wants to help, but Dad refuses. He thinks that sooner or later I will need to learn how to take care of myself.
Since Aunt Ly came to live with us, those were also the first times I had to learn how to cook, do my own laundry, prepare things for class trips... After that, my dad forced me to do a series of other tasks so that I would at least know how to handle those situations. Being a child, I always thought that my dad didn't love me anymore, so I did that.

I didn’t know what was going on at the time. But ever since Auntie Li came to live with me, Dad was always strict with me. There was one thing he kept saying that I still remember. “Sooner or later, I will leave you. You have to learn to be independent and take care of yourself.”
After I got into a university in Beijing, I felt like a bird out of its cage. When I entered university, it was also the first time I was away from home. While my classmates were sent to school by their families, my father refused to do so. I felt like he was kicking me out of the house as soon as possible.
I remember very clearly, the day I went to the city to study, my father told me: “After 18 years old, you are an adult, you can live independently. From now on, I will no longer have the responsibility or obligation to raise you. This 10,000 yuan is enough for you to spend for a period of time in the big city. Later, you will have your own life, so take care of your living expenses and tuition. If you can’t make money, then quit school. I will have nothing to do with you, so there is no need to call home. I won’t answer the phone.”
After hearing these words, I burst into tears of anger. Passing the university entrance exam is a joy but perhaps I cannot live in that feeling.
During my university years, I always tried to get high scores to be able to hunt for scholarships. In addition, on Saturdays and Sundays, I often went out to work to earn money to cover my living expenses.
Working hard during my 4 years of college, I gradually accumulated experience and constantly improved myself. Thanks to that, after graduating from college, I quickly applied for a job at a large company and was promoted after only 2 years with a salary of up to 30,000 NDT/month.

The surprising truth after 6 years
In the blink of an eye, I have been away from home and have not spoken to my father for 6 years. I wonder if he regrets knowing that his daughter can live on her own and earn a high salary like now.
Without thinking much, I planned to return to visit my father on his 65th birthday. Driving to the gate, I discovered that my family's old house had seriously deteriorated, it seemed that no one was living here anymore. Asking the neighbors, I learned that everyone no longer lived here but had moved to the next town.
As instructed, I went to find Aunt Ly to see how their lives were now. As soon as I met her, the first thing I asked was where my father was. Without beating around the bush, Aunt Ly said that my father had passed away. When I heard this news, I thought she was joking.
Then, my aunt began to tell me the whole story. “Xiao Ning, the things he did before may make you think negatively. But in reality, he is a good father. He never had the thought of abandoning you.
My father saved my life. To repay his kindness, I promised him that we would work together to 'trick' you. The reason he was so strict was to train you to be independent. Because my father knew that he would leave this world early due to being diagnosed with cancer.
He knew that his illness was expensive to treat and could not be cured. If he told me this, I might drop out of school and go to work to earn money for treatment. In order to hide it from him, he wanted to 'kick' me out of the house as soon as possible.
When he was about to pass away, I wanted to tell my daughter the news, but he wouldn't let me. That was because my daughter had just graduated and needed to find a job. He was worried that if he bothered his daughter, Tieu Ninh might miss out on a career opportunity.
Although he hasn't called me for the past 6 years. But when he got better, he still took the bus to school to see me from afar. So he knows everything about my situation. His biggest wish is for me to be able to support myself. Now I have fulfilled that wish. With everything I have, I should be very grateful to him," said Aunt Ly.

Unable to control my emotions, I cried loudly after hearing everything. Only then did I understand that, in order to prepare for his departure, my father had forced me to do all sorts of things to learn to live independently. I also gradually understood the words that my father always reminded me: "Sooner or later, I will leave you. You must learn to be independent and take care of yourself."
