When Liam was young, the cake was only given to Quinn. When he grew up, it was only given to him and Quinn.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and help your grandma wash the potatoes. You are so lazy!" Nicole looked displeased when she saw me standing there.

I picked up a bucket and looked at Nicole flatteringly, "Today is Liam's birthday. I will go to the river to get some fishes to add to the family's meal."

My hands were constantly wounded from doing farm work all year round. And I was at risk of poisoning if I came into contact with even a little bit of paraquat.

Nicole showed me a rare smile and said, "Okay. Today is your brother's birthday. We finish our meal early and then eat the cakes."

When I got home, the whole family was already sitting together having dinner.

I put down the bucket and slowly went to the well to wash my hands.

The large basket beside the well was filled with the potatoes that Madison had washed.

When I walked into the house, I glanced at the dining table. There was a chicken leg in Liam's bowl, and he had a steak in front of him.

Quinn looked unhappy when he saw me and said, "You're slow. We've been waiting for you."

I said nothing, sat aside and taste jam.

Nicole patted my head vigorously and said, "Jam is expensive. Eat it with bread."

Nicole and I were not worthy of eating good potatoes in my family. We could only eat them during Christmas.

Madison gave me a mean look and turned to complain to Quinn, "Chloe just said that Liam poured paraquat into the potato jar and asked me to throw the potatoes away. This is wasting food!"

Quinn was stunned, looked at Madison, and said hesitantly, "This, this meal is..."

Madison waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I've washed them. You can eat it without worry."

Nicole nodded in agreement. "I watched her wash them three times. The paraquat must have been washed away."

After hearing this, Quinn praised Madison. "Mom is good at managing the household."

Then he pointed at my forehead and cursed, "Throw away so many potatoes? You bitch. I feel uncomfortable if I don't scold you for a day."

I ate my bread quietly, thinking, "If you like them, eat more."

At night, the three of them began to vomit and have diarrhea. Liam almost fainted.

Nicole hugged Liam and cried, "My dear, please don't scare me."
