"Mom, I still call you mom."
Xiao Ai suddenly said to the camera: "I know you are very angry now and want to beat me up."
"Although I am only fifteen years old, I am also a person with thoughts and self-respect."
"You and Auntie really hurt me a lot in this matter. I will never forget it."
"I didn't do anything, but you slapped me in front of so many people, and then beat me half to death at night. I feel really wronged."
"Mom, you're very hypocritical, you know that?"
Xiao Ai said bitterly: "I still remember when I was the only child in the family, you and dad were really good to me and loved me very much."
"But after you gave birth to your brother, I became like your puppy in this house. You play with me when I'm happy, and beat and scold me when I'm unhappy."
"Many people have the idea of favoring boys over girls. You gave me life and raised me. Although the process of growing up was difficult for me, I know all the kindness you have shown me."
"I can accept your different treatment of me and my brother because we are both your children. You said I should be the older sister and give in to my brother and understand your hard work. I have basically done all of that."
"but!"
Xiao Ai collapsed: "But you can't treat my child differently from other people's children!"
"My aunt found out it was her son who stole the money, but she didn't do anything as ruthless as you did."
"And you, you just beat me up without any reason and didn't believe what I said. How can I face you?!"
"I am your daughter!"
"You didn't even give me a chance to explain and slapped me in front of a bunch of people. I'm fifteen, not five. I have to save face too!"
"Do you know how my uncle, aunt, and cousins looked at me at that time?"
"They looked at me like I was trash, hahaha. They looked at me like a thief and trash!"
"I finally fell asleep with a red and swollen face that night, but you actually arrested me and interrogated me. If my answer was not to your liking, you would beat me even harder."
"I don't understand, I really don't understand, Mom. I've already told you I didn't take it. I'm kneeling on the ground and swearing to you that if I took it, let me get hit by a car and die."
"But when you heard me swear, you hit me even harder. I really don't know what I did wrong."
"Perhaps, my fault is because of your daughter..."
When Xiao Ai said these words, Jiang Tang sent a video call to Xiao Ai's mother.
Xiao Ai’s mother never answered the video calls, so Jiang Tang kept sending them.
After Xiao Ai finished speaking, Jiang Tang said to the camera: "Xiao Ai's mother, if you don't want to lose your daughter, you can go online and have a good chat with your daughter."
Xiao Ai lowered her head and said nothing. No matter whether her mother was connected or not, she would not go back.
After waiting for about two minutes, Xiao Ai's mother connected to the video call sent by Jiang Tang.
But it was all dark over there, it seemed like she didn't want to show her face.
"Xiao Ai, everything Mommy does is for your own good. Why can't you understand Mommy's good intentions?"
As soon as Ai Ma came online, she started complaining.
Xiao Ai pouted and raised her head: "For my own good?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
"You..." Ai's mother was silent for two seconds.
"I didn't do anything right about this. Although I didn't apologize to you, I made delicious food for you during the days you were lying in bed, and I didn't ask you to do housework. Am I not good enough for you?"
Xiao Ai was heartbroken: "If you really wanted to do this for my own good, you wouldn't have beaten me so hard that I couldn't get up from the bed."
"Mom, you said you made delicious food for me and didn't let me do housework. Didn't you make that delicious food specifically for my brother and share some with me?"
"I won't talk about housework anymore. In your eyes, if a woman like me doesn't study hard to cook and do housework, I will be despised and beaten by my in-laws after I get married."
"We have different ideas. I don't want to say anything more to you."
"Since you're online, you should apologize to me, a sincere apology!"
Ai's mother didn't expect that even though she was online, Xiao Ai still dared to talk to her like this. She was so angry that her breathing became rapid.
"Okay, okay you!"
"You've grown too independent, and you think you can survive on your own in this cannibalistic society, right?!"
"I've already apologized politely, but you're still hanging on. I think you just don't want to go home!"
"If you don't want to reply, then don't reply. I don't have a daughter as disobedient as you!"
Jiang Tang and netizens all frowned.
Is Xiao Ai’s mother crazy?
At this time, someone sent a video call to Jiang Tang, and Jiang Tang clicked on it without thinking.
This person appeared in the live broadcast room, but he did not turn off the lights like Ai Ma did, but showed up in person.
As soon as she appeared, Xiao Ai turned her head away.
Seeing Xiao Ai not even looking at her, Xiao Ai's aunt felt very uncomfortable.
"Xiao Ai, I'm your aunt. I want to say sorry to you. We wronged you."
"When we left that day, I told your mother not to beat you. I didn't expect her to beat you in the middle of the night and beat you so badly."
"After I found out that your cousin had taken the money, I beat him up a few times. I originally wanted to take your cousin to your house to apologize to you, but after I beat him up, your cousin actually got a fever."
"I've been so busy until now. I never thought that this incident would lead to the relationship between you and your mother becoming like this, causing you to run away from home."
"This is your cousin's fault. It's also the reason I didn't bring my bag with me. It's really none of your business."
"Auntie, I want to say sorry to you. Please don't blame your mother, okay? She hit you because she was angry. She really didn't mean any harm."
"It's so late and cold, and you're still injured. Why don't you just go home and get some rest?"
"As long as you come home, I will bring your cousin to your house tomorrow morning to apologize to you in person. I promise!"
Xiao Ai was a little moved. Her aunt's words made her broken heart feel a little better.
"Sister, she's just a child, why are you saying this to her?!"
Just when Xiao Ai was about to turn around and say a few words to her aunt, her mother's annoying voice rang out again.
"Little sister, we were wrong about Xiao Ai. She's your child. Don't you feel bad for beating her like that?"
"If she really ran away from home and never came back, would you really be able to sleep at night?"
Xiao Ai's aunt picked up her phone and started sending WeChat messages to Ai's mother, asking her not to say those words first and to coax Xiao Ai back home first.
