Chapter 542: Pretending to be Paralyzed
My mother instinctively reached out to help her, and she just managed to stand. Before my mother could ask her, she started to speak her lines: "Aunt, I'm fine. Maybe I didn't eat dinner, so I have a little low blood sugar."
According to the previous practice, my mother would be distressed and angry at this, and I would immediately go to cook for her, without considering how an adult could starve herself.
But ever since my uncle was caught cheating, my mother seems to have regained some of her intelligence, and she no longer blindly dotes on Deng Sisi.
I opened the door and let everyone in first. It was still a bit chilly on an April night, and it was not appropriate to talk in the yard in the dark.
Deng Sisi followed my mother into the house. My mother put down her bag and frowned and said, "There is a restaurant at the entrance of our community. Even if you can't get into the house, you can always go out to eat. Why do you want to fight on an empty stomach?"
I clearly told you that low blood sugar is very dangerous."
Deng Sisi didn't expect that my mother would keep questioning her today, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.
She was a little dumbfounded, and tried desperately to find an excuse: "Auntie, the restaurant at the door is a bit expensive. I thought you would be back soon, so I'll just make a bowl of noodles after you get home."
I sighed, "Deng Sisi, there's no shame in speaking your true thoughts. Even if you take the last bus from the county to my neighborhood, you'll probably be home before six o'clock.
If you thought we would be home soon at that time, you must have known that we had not eaten yet.
You clearly wanted to wait for us to go to the restaurant together, so why did you say you only planned to eat instant noodles?
Not to mention that your monthly living expenses are not only given by your father, but also by my mother. Just because you dare to buy Lancome cosmetics, do you have the nerve to say that a 25 yuan rice bowl is too expensive?
Besides, when was there ever a time when our family of three went to a restaurant to eat and asked you to eat instant noodles at home?
If other people heard this, they would think that you are living a miserable life in my house. How would they view my mother then?
My mother's face grew colder. "Sisi, I understand you don't want to live in your own home, but you don't have to make so many excuses. It's better to be honest."
My heart leaped with joy. This was probably the harshest words my mother had ever said to Deng Sisi. As expected, Deng Sisi's eyes turned red again.
She put on a pitiful look and said, "Aunt, I didn't mean it."
I said, "Yes, you didn't do it on purpose. You're just used to it. Whenever you make yourself sound a little pitiful, my mother will treat you well unconditionally.
Just like a Korean documentary before, the dog at home always suddenly fell ill and became paralyzed on one side of his body.
Later, experts discovered that there was a reason why it did this. Every time it did this, someone would sympathize with it and feed it various foods. Over time, it came to associate food with pretending to be paralyzed.
When she saw me using a dog as an example, Deng Sisi was so angry that her face turned green, but my parents were there, so she could only endure it desperately. I was afraid that she would get hurt.
My mother also looked unhappy. She coughed lightly and said, "Okay, if you haven't eaten yet, go make yourself a bowl of noodles." Then she turned and went upstairs.
Deng Sisi was dumbfounded and couldn't believe that my mother would treat me like this.
I shrugged, "As you wished, I successfully ate instant noodles."
Seeing my mother going upstairs, she grabbed me and said with a resentful look: "Did you say something to your aunt about me? That's why your aunt is so cold to me today."
I pulled my hand away without leaving a trace. "Need I tell you that? Anyone with a discerning eye can see through your little tricks at once."
You must always remember that this family is named Xia. Don't think that just because you live here for a long time, you will become one of our family."
Deng Sisi suddenly showed a hint of pride: "Isn't it because you found a rich boyfriend that Auntie treats you better?
Let me tell you, I also have a boyfriend. Not only is he handsome and rich, he's also younger and more attractive than that uncle of yours. You don't have to be so proud!
When my aunt sees him tomorrow, she will treat me the same as before!"
