Three days after welcoming me, the "real" daughter, back into the wealthy family, the family business went bankrupt. The fake daughter and I were both kicked out of our home, and we had to pay off the massive debt owed by our parents, who had gone missing. The fake daughter was spoiled but well-educated, so she landed a job as a secretary in an office building. I was uncultured and received very little education, so I could only work on construction sites during the day and work as a cashier at a convenience store at night. Every month, the fake daughter and I pooled our money and transferred it to the creditor's account so that they wouldn't harass us for payment. Soon, the final repayment date before the year ended arrived, but my world came crashing down. The boss of the construction company fled, taking six months of my unpaid wages with him. Faced with the repayment reminders and demands from the creditors, I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, and joined the other construction workers to donate our plasma for money. ***** When I staggered home exhausted with the money I had earned, I overheard the fake daughter, who had just gotten off work, on the phone inside our home. "Daddy, Mommy, have you had enough of this 'bankruptcy' game yet? Anyway, I've played my part as the loving younger sister to the fullest. She now treats me like her true sister who has gone through thick and thin with her. She'll never bully me, or try to hurt me, or be suspicious of me again. After Christmas, I think you two can make your appearance. Yeah, that's all."
