No matter where she lived, she wasn't favored by anyone.
After their parents remarried, each had their own children, and since she was seven, she felt like she was unnecessary.
Although they never abused her, ensuring she was fed and clothed, they were truly indifferent and uncaring towards her.
No matter where she lived, she always felt like an outsider who had wandered in by mistake.
In middle school, she would start worrying if she could continue her education after finishing that term because the next term might not be affordable.
Unfortunately, after the remarriages, her parents weren't doing well.
The money they earned was barely enough for living expenses, and as her younger brothers and sisters grew up and all needed to attend school, the combined tuition fees at the start of each term became a major pressure on the family.
Thus, every day after school, she would pick up paper and cans to earn some money, hoping to at least cover her tuition for the next term.
