Alison nodded and walked forward with Luis.
The last time she returned here was because her grandmother passed away. The village was far away from the town. After her grandmother passed away, she always stayed at school or went to do part-time work. After all, no one waited for her at home since then.
She dreamed about her grandmother last night and thought that she didn't take the small box that her grandmother left for her, so she returned here this time.
It was her grandmother's dowry. When Alison was a little kid, Alison's grandmother said that she would give it to
Alison when Alison got married.
Alison had seen the things in the box. They were a pair of gold earrings, a gold bracelet and a gold necklace.
When Alison was going to go to high school, her grandmother planned to hock the dowry to a gold shop in the town secretly for her tuition.
Alison came home that day because the school was out and got the news from a neighbor, so she chased after her grandmother and stopped her grandmother.
Thinking of that, Alison felt sad.
Alison and her mother were kicked out because Alison was a girl. Soon, Alison's father married a new wife. Alison's mother took Alison to turn to Alison's grandmother. Before Alison grew up and could remember her mother's face, her mother was drowned by accident. Alison's grandmother brought Alison up alone.
When Alison was going to go to primary school, her father still hadn't submitted documents for her. Alison's grandmother took her to see her father, but her father refused.
At that time, Alison was only six years old. Facing her father's disgusted gaze, she stood in the narrow corridor. It was the first time that she understood the meaning of her peers' sarcasm.
Alison's father was reluctant to submitted documents until Alison's grandmother gave him 500 dollars.
Over these years, Alison and her grandmother lived in poverty, but Alison had never thought that she was an orphan.
She had her grandmother and was not an orphan.
Last year, when Alison's teacher took her to see her grandmother in the hospital for the last time, Alison realized that she would be alone in the world.
She had no relatives anymore.
