The boy in the story below is named Tieu Tan, he has been abandoned by his parents since he was 4 years old. During the most difficult time of his life, he was brought home by a girl, who would later become older sister his.
At first, the older sister’s parents disagreed with her bringing home a wandering boy. But when they saw their daughter insisting on raising Tieu Tan, the grandparents also had to close their eyes and let it pass.
Tieu Tan’s sister is 6 years older than him, the only daughter in the family. Because he was a wandering child who was picked up, everyone in the family treated the boy extremely coldly. If they had something delicious, they would let the older sister eat first, while he was forced to go to work.
Because she doesn’t want her brother to be treated unfairly, the older sister often shares her food with him and works with him. Even though the two are not of the same blood, she always treats Tieu Tan like her own brother.
Life goes on like that, the boy also gradually grows up in the arms of his sister. When he was 14 years old, the older sister was 20 years old, she decided not to go to university but to work as a hired hand to support her younger brother.
Unfortunate events happen
During that time, the father suddenly fell seriously ill, in his stomach appeared a large tumor that had to be removed. Because their family situation is not very well off, after paying for the treatment of the father, the family did not have enough money to do surgery.
When she heard that her father was seriously ill, the sister immediately arranged her work and quickly returned home. Because the money for treatment is too expensive, there is no money in the house, so she can only marry a rich man. Hope he can pay the hospital bills to save her father.
Through matchmaking, a middle-aged man who once had a wife came to Tieu Tan’s house to propose to his sister. At first, everyone in the family disagreed. But because to save her father, the older sister also had no choice but to close her eyes to marry the person she did not love.
After the father completed the surgery, there was no money left for Tieu Tan in high school. Everyone wanted him to work as a hired hand to help with money, but only his sister disagreed. She believes that a son must be properly educated in order to be successful in the future.
Therefore, the sister went to her husband hoping he could help her send her younger brother to school. But what she received in return was only harsh scolding: “I helped your father heal and now he’s asking for his brother to go to school. Don’t take advantage of me like that!”.
However, the sister still did not give up her intention and continued to quarrel with her husband. But unbelievably, the husband beat her cruelly.
After knowing that her sister was beaten by her husband, even though he was extremely angry, the boy had no choice but to cry for her. In the end, he decided to sneak away from home to work as a hired worker to earn money to support his family and save his sister from her abusive husband.
Living alone outside working as a hired hand to earn a living, Tieu Tan encountered many difficulties and hardships. There were times when he was so poor that he even had to work begging on the street.
Fortunately, the boy met good people who helped him earn money during those difficult years. Although he also wanted to visit her, he was afraid that she would be angry with him, so he left for 12 years and never returned.
Late regret
Twelve years later, Tieu Tan is now a director of a prestigious company. He decides to return home hoping to give his sister a surprise after years of separation.
But when he first saw his sister, the boy could only wipe his tears. Those were not emotional tears because of seeing their loved ones again after 12 years, but tears of mourning for their sister. Because now what he saw was only a black and white picture of his sister.
For the third year since the boy left, her sister’s life is always filled with pain and humiliation. The husband always scolded and beat her for not knowing how to have a son. At one point, she even went hungry for days without eating or drinking anything.
Because she couldn’t stand such a life, the older sister sneaked away and went home. However, when he returned, he discovered that the brother he loved the most had left home. Due to her suffering, she took her own life.
This incident made Tieu Tan extremely regretful, he could only kneel in front of his sister’s photo and cry. Because he was so engrossed in making money that he did not have the opportunity to see her face one last time.
Because he wanted to fulfill the responsibility of a son and live the rest of his life helping his sister, the young man took his parents to the city to live to pay tribute to his grandparents.
