Meanwhile, I had to pay the price for this. She ignored me at home and deliberately didn't give me food. So, I often felt dizzy and was weakened by hunger.
"Zoe, you're a naughty girl, so you'll be punished."
She wore a cruel smile, and I just gritted my teeth without saying a word.
My brother was even more shameless at this time. He showed off the snacks in his hand and made faces at me.
"I won't give you any."
As for my dad, he was indifferent about us, just concentrating on his work.
As a cold fish, he didn't care about other family members, as if he had no blood relationship with us. His indifference was also the push for my mother to become more cruel. My final outcome was closely related to him.
Feeling a deep hatred, I swore to get back at them.
I don’t know if it was to humiliate me, but after the meal, my mother threw the leftovers on the table to me with disgust.
"Now, eat it."
I turned my head away, remained silent, and protested it. It annoyed her even more, and she raised her hand and slapped me.
My face ached, and my head tilted to one side. My body even swayed and fell to the ground.
Tasting blood made me frown uncomfortably.
My mother then laughed and warned, "I always have a way to make you obedient."
Even if I was obedient, she would bully me at will. That was why she married me off in exchange for money.
"I don't accept it."
I straightened my back, stood up with difficulty, and glared at her.
It really annoyed her. She believed that I would be obedient after being beaten, but unexpectedly, I had such a strong spirit of resistance.
"You brat, how dare you?"
"Kill me if you can!" I provoked.
My brother encouraged my mother. "Mom, hit her quickly. She deserves a good beating."
When he spoke, his expression was exactly like my mother's. Realizing that they looked alike, I was so furious that I reached out and pushed him to the ground.
"I've been displeased with you for a long time."
He was younger than me, so he had no ability to fight back when I hit him. Furthermore, I was stronger than him. After I pushed him down, he was stunned and then cried loudly.
Seeing that I hit him, her darling, my mother couldn't stand it anymore. She slapped me in the face immediately. I felt dizzy, and my vision blurred.
"You are a child abuser."
"You're my child. Of course, I can beat you! If you have the guts, just sue me!"
