Dream: New beginning, New hope

I was admitted to a prestigious university, becoming the first university student in our village.

A fifty-year-old widower in our village came with 100 thousand dollars, seeking to marry me. "A son born to a college student must be smart!"

My grandmother smiled from ear to ear and agreed immediately.

The night before my wedding, my mother secretly opened my locked door, giving me all my documents, a cell phone with a SIM card, and 800 dollars.

"Among my three children, I feel the most sorry for you. Emily, run!"
