He truly realized that his parents didn't want him, and even despised him deeply, when he was seven years old.
Grandma passed away, leaving no direct relatives in his hometown.
Su Min then thought that his real parents should now take him back to the city to live with them.
However, after his real father came back to deal with Grandma's funeral, he went to see an uncle from a family outside the Five Tribes and, after some discussion, sent Su Min there.
Every year, his real father gave the uncle some money and even transferred Su Min's household registration to his family.
Later, when he grew up, Su Min learned the reason: his real mother was pregnant again, but the country had a policy that even rural households could only have two children.
His real parents didn't want to pay the fine, so they "adopted out" their larger, disliked daughter to their uncle.
From then on, Su Min lived a life dependent on others.
