Chapter 297 Suitable Reasons
I quickly refused, "I'm not going back. My uncle is staying in the guest room tonight, and my aunt is also at home. I have nowhere to stay if I go back, so I'd better stay in a hotel."
After thinking about it, I was afraid that they would think the reason was not sufficient. What if they let me sleep in the study?
Then he added, "It takes almost two hours to get from home to the funeral home, so I have to leave at five o'clock, which is too early.
I'll find a hotel south of the county town. It'll only take about ten minutes to get there, and I can sleep a little longer in the morning."
This was a good enough excuse. My dad thought it was true and discussed with my mom, "Why don't we stay in a hotel too?"
My mother rolled her eyes at him. "What? Should we take Sisi and my brother and stay in a hotel together?"
"It's okay that Sisi didn't go to keep watch, but now she can't even live in her own home?" I said coldly from the side.
"Your uncle is not at home tonight. It's so unsafe for Sisi to be home alone." My mother glared at me dissatisfiedly.
"You want me to stay at the funeral home alone for the rest of the night? You're not worried about my safety, so why wouldn't she be safe at home alone?"
The more I spoke, the angrier I became, "Mom, even if Deng Sisi is your biological child, I wasn't adopted, right?
You don’t need to be treated exactly the same, but you can’t be too different.”
"You are the elder sister, how can you argue with her about everything? Sisi is still young..." When my mother saw me like this, her attitude softened. It seems that I was too easy to talk to before.
I was getting angrier and angrier the more I talked about it. "Yeah, yeah, I'm only two years older than her, so I have to treat Deng Sisi like your own daughter, right?
Anyway, you have a daughter. If you like Deng Sisi, then you can take good care of her. I won't bother you with any more worries."
I was originally just looking for an excuse to go to the hotel, but now I’m really angry and don’t want to go back.
I didn't expect my words to make my mother's eyes red. "Lao Xia, what did I do wrong? I'm two years older than Shuxin, and haven't I always given in to her in my life?
How can I ask Mengmeng to be more considerate of Sisi? Why would she be so resentful?
How could she be so selfish?"
Seeing my mother sad, my heart softened all of a sudden, but her last sentence successfully broke me down again.
"Yes, I am selfish. I am an only child and could have enjoyed the love of my parents like other classmates.
But what about me? When I was little, you left me to my grandmother's care in order to take care of Deng Sisi.
Later, in order to have time to take her out to play during holidays, he threw me into various interest classes and tutoring classes.
She can take whatever she likes of my things, and I can't say no. I have to give her half of the snacks my dad buys for me.
You ask me to give her all the chicken wings she likes, saying that she only comes once a week, but I can only eat it once a week. Have you ever cared about whether I like it?
I once wondered if I was picked up by you, so you would rather like your sister's child than love me.
So I studied hard and listened to you. But was it any use? You always favored Deng Sisi.
Later I figured it out, you simply didn't like me liking her.
So I won't fight anymore, and I don't want to waste my time trying to please you anymore. Since you don't love me, I have to learn to love myself."
I finally vented all the grievances I had felt over the years.
My dad looked at me with a bit of guilt, "Mengmeng, Dad didn't know you had so much resentment in your heart over the years."
I laughed coldly and said meaningfully, "Yeah, when has Dad ever cared about family matters?
Your heart is set on City A. After all, I am just a daughter who will get married sooner or later."
