I was orphaned in a car accident, and I thought I was the most pitiful person in the world.
Fortunately, my uncle showed up in time and adopted me, making me feel the warmth of home again.
However, last month, when my boyfriend and I were getting ready to get engaged, my uncle actually made excessive demands on me!
At that moment, I realized his true purpose for adopting me, human nature is really incomprehensible!

"Wanwan, what do you want to eat in a while?"
"McDonald's!"
My brother and I said almost in unison.
"Okay, let's McDonald's, today is Wanwan's birthday, let's have a good meal."
Mom smiled and hugged my brother and me in her arms, and then told my dad to drive the electric tricycle faster, so as not to have to queue up at the restaurant for a while.
"Okay, sit tight."
Dad laughed in agreement, then turned the handle and sped up.
However, in the next second, the unexpected came!
The traffic light at the intersection flashed a few times and turned yellow, and Dad was about to speed through, but he didn't notice that there was also a large truck speeding up on the opposite side.
With a bang, the big truck collided directly with our electric tricycle.
To be precise, it was the big truck that knocked us down, because the speed was too fast, it didn't have time to stop, and it ran over directly......
And I, because I leaned on the end, was thrown out directly with the strong inertia at the moment of collision.
I was thrown to the ground and fainted after a while, but before I lost consciousness, I watched my family run over by a large truck and dragged for more than ten meters......
This car accident not only cost me my parents and younger brother, but also became a shadow for my life.

I was only 8 years old that year, and it was a nightmare to face such a sudden blow.
During that time, I was taken back to my home by my grandparents to take care of me.
But the scene of the car accident seemed to be imprinted in my mind, and I couldn't sleep so much that I didn't dare to sleep almost every night.
Gradually, I still hallucinated, and I always felt that my parents were still there.
Sometimes I would talk to myself, cry and laugh, which really scared my grandparents.
They took me to the hospital, and the doctor said that he suspected depression and suggested that I should live in a better environment so that I could get out of the pain.
My grandparents only have two daughters, one is my mother and the other is my aunt, and my aunt followed my sister-in-law to the north in her early years.
After thinking about it, my grandmother took the initiative to contact my uncle.
Before that, I didn't have a very good impression of my uncle, because my dad used to tell us:
"My eldest brother is very selfish, and family affection is not as important as interests."
The main reason why my dad said this was because when my grandparents died, he and my dad were worried about the distribution of property.
When my dad was young, he accidentally fell while riding a bicycle and disabled one leg.
Considering this, my grandparents left my dad a little more land and house than my uncle, and my uncle was haunted and constantly entangled.
In the end, my father didn't want to spoil the relationship between the brothers, so he gave him a part of the paddy field according to his uncle's request.
Anyway, my father's legs and feet are inconvenient, so he relies on my mother to farm alone, and too many fields are not good.
Besides, at that time, my father applied for a disability certificate, got an electric three-wheeler, and went to the county every day to carry passengers and goods, and the income was not bad.
But now that my parents have passed away, and my grandparents are also old, only my uncle's family is more suitable to take care of me.

I remember that day, the uncle talked with my grandmother in the yard for a long time, and finally my grandmother took a package to the uncle as if she was ruthless, and then asked me to go back to live with the uncle.
"Wanwan should be well-behaved, listen to the uncle, and grow up to be a useful person."
This was also the last sentence my grandmother said to me, because she died of illness in the third year after that.
After I arrived at my uncle's house, I probably saw that I missed my parents every day, so my uncle and aunt have always cared about me.
My aunt cooks some of my favorite dishes every day, my uncle chats with me whenever he has time, and my cousin, who takes me to the mountains whenever he is out of school.
It was arguably the happiest time I've ever had since my parents passed away.
Because of the care of my uncle's family, I felt the warmth of home again.
Although I was taken care of by my uncle's family, the fact that my parents passed away and I became an orphan did not change, and I was always ridiculed and bullied by my classmates at school.
"Zhang Xiaowan is a wild child without parents."
"yes, let's not play with her and throw her bag out."
"I heard that she survived the car accident, it was still her birthday, she must be a disaster, get rid of her."
……
I may have been the first and only child to be bullied in elementary school, but it also made me more and more independent.
I put all my mind on studying, and as for those who tried to bully me, I either ignored them or just served them with my fists.
Sometimes, the other three people beat around me, and I grabbed the one who took the lead and fought hard with her.
Although the end was all beaten and my nose and face were swollen, when they saw that I was so fierce, they gradually did not dare to provoke me again.
As time went on, I grew up, but I also noticed that my uncle and aunt didn't care about me as much as they used to.
My academic performance is good, but my uncle doesn't want me to go to high school, and they say that it costs a lot of money to go to high school, and it will be a waste if I can't get into college.
Fortunately, in the end, the head teacher personally came to my home to communicate with my uncle, and he reluctantly let me go to high school.
But when I went to high school, they only gave me 10 yuan a day, and they said it was left to me by their frugality.
That's not even enough money for me to eat at school, let alone take the bus home.
But I can understand that my uncle is not my biological parents after all, and it is good to be able to sponsor me to high school.
So when I went to high school, I not only studied hard, but also used every weekend and summer vacation to work part-time.
Distributing leaflets, mixing milk tea, and cashiering in supermarkets, I basically provided part-time positions for students at that time, and I did them all.
I'm also grateful for my part-time job during that time, otherwise I wouldn't have enough money to buy reference books, let alone go to university later.

However, when I was admitted to university, my uncle and aunt didn't give me a penny.
Except for one classmate who helped me pay the tuition fee for the first semester, the rest of the tuition and living expenses were all earned by my own work-study.
And this classmate is my boyfriend Xiaobei, who is now about to enter the marriage hall hand in hand.
Xiaobei was my tablemate in my third year of high school, and he was transferred from the science class to the liberal arts class in his last year.
At first, he and I didn't really talk much, but then one time when I was going home, I was stopped by a couple of girls from the next class.
A girl who took the lead slapped me without saying a word:
"Shameless, pretending to be innocent, seducing my boyfriend every day."
This really makes me confused, I don't have a boy around me, where did I seduce her boyfriend?
At this moment, Xiaobei appeared.
Only then did I figure out that it turned out that the girl had been secretly in love with Xiaobei, and when she saw me talking to Xiaobei, she mistakenly thought that we were a couple, so she was jealous.
After that, Xiaobei may feel a little embarrassed, so he became better and better to me, and often lectured on me, accompanied me to do part-time work, and finally applied to the same university as me.
In this way, during the summer vacation of my freshman year, I accepted Xiaobei's confession and officially established a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with him.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, we have been dating for ten years, and we have reached the age when it is time to talk about marriage.
After getting the approval of my prospective in-laws, I also decided to marry myself.
However, at our engagement banquet, the uncle and aunt jumped out.

"Your name is Xiaobei, right, I am Wanwan's uncle, and I am also her closest person."
"The big woman is not staying, since Wanwan is willing to marry you, we won't say much, but the engagement must also have an engagement ceremony, not just a sentence."
Listening to my uncle's words, I was a little embarrassed and a little confused.
What does it mean that a woman is not in the middle of the university, and I am not her daughter, and after I went to college, except for the Spring Festival, they basically never contacted me.
Without waiting for me to respond, the uncle and the aunt glanced at each other, and then said to Xiaobei and my prospective in-laws:
"In this way, Wanwan's parents are gone, we will make the decision for her, and this bride price will be symbolically collected 300,000 yuan, and the other ......"
"What?"
The prospective in-laws shouted in disbelief, and Xiaobei also frowned and looked at me.
I quickly shook my head and said:
"No, uncle, I didn't plan to ask for the bride price, Xiaobei has already made a down payment for a wedding house, and my name is written on it."
Hearing this, the uncle's face sank and he didn't say a word.
I thought he was just worried that I would be bullied by Xiaobei's family, so he asked for a bride price, but I didn't expect him to stop pretending in the end, and said directly:
"You came to my house when you were 8 years old, I raised you for 10 years, and now that you are married, I can't not take a dime."
Looking at the uncle's indignant appearance, I was completely stunned, it turned out that he was asking for a pension money for himself.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the uncle said disdainfully:
"Wanwan, if you insist on not letting me accept his bride price, then you can transfer the old mansion that your father left you in the village to my name......"
"Don't even think about it!"
The person who spoke was my aunt.
"You are still a gentle uncle, how can you be so disgusting, even greedy for this money!"
After speaking, my aunt took out a yellowed letter and handed it to me, and then said:
"Wanwan, do you know why your uncle was willing to adopt you back then?"
"That's because your grandmother gave him all the 150,000 compensation given by the driver who caused the accident that year, and he promised to raise you to adulthood!"
Listening to my aunt's words, and then looking at my grandmother's handwriting on the letter, my eyes instantly turned red.
"Wanwan, I'm ...... with you"
"Get out! I don't want to see you guys again! ”
I roared with anger on my face.
Seeing this, the uncle and aunt didn't dare to say anything more, and ran away in dismay.
At that moment, my emotions were a little out of control, it turned out that some people are really conditional on being good to you.
Human nature is really too dark, how can a person like my uncle deserve to be a relative?
