Chapter 676: The ungrateful wolf raised by one’s own hands
Deng Sisi's face was a little complicated, and she said stiffly, "I don't want her to give birth to a child. If she has a child, she will definitely not love me as much as before. Her daughter is finally getting married, and I am her only child. She wants to have another one. How can she get a divorce like this?"
The policeman asked curiously, "You want your aunt to get a divorce? Why is that?"
I glanced at my parents. My dad was so angry that his face turned red. "He's such an ungrateful person. He treated her so well for nothing."
My mother stared at the screen nervously. I knew what she was worried about. She didn't want my father to know the true relationship between her and Deng Sisi.
Unfortunately, Deng Sisi has now given up. Perhaps the secret that has been buried for so long has been suppressed in her heart, making her want to confide.
Deng Sisi finally told my mother what she least wanted my father to know.
"I lived in my aunt's house when I was very young. She was very kind to me, even better than to my cousin. Whenever I liked something of my cousin's, my aunt would ask her to give it to me. My mother told me that I couldn't always fight with my cousin for things, but my aunt always said it didn't matter, because my cousin didn't need anything and I was her younger sister, so what was wrong with her giving it to me?
I gradually got used to it, and I always felt that I was more important to my aunt than my cousin. I should have what she had, and it should be better than hers."
Hearing this, Xiao Shiqiu shook my hand, but I didn't feel anything at all. I guess I was used to it.
But my dad got angrier the more he listened. He glanced at my mom, then at her belly. After enduring it for a while, he finally complained, "Look at the ungrateful child you raised yourself. You'd rather let your own daughter suffer than spoil your sister's child. I really don't know what you're trying to achieve!"
I squinted at him and said coldly, "So you know I'm feeling wronged, but you didn't say anything when you saw me being wronged? Who's better between you two?"
My dad murmured guiltily, "I did talk about your mom at first, but whenever I mentioned her, she started arguing with me. I was doing that for family harmony, wasn't it?"
"Humph, your harmony comes at the expense of my suffering."
My dad wanted to say something, but I stopped him impatiently: "Alright, stop rambling on. You're disturbing me from listening to Deng Sisi's inner monologue."
My dad shut up, and my mom pursed her lips tightly, looking very unhappy. I glanced at her belly carefully, hoping she wouldn't have a miscarriage.
My dad said a few words, and Deng Sisi’s elementary school career was already half over.
Her voice continued to echo in the interrogation room, with a hint of resentment and unwillingness in her tone: "My aunt would take me to the amusement park every weekend, or to the movies, shopping, and buying delicious food. But my cousin almost never went with us. At first, I thought it was because my aunt spoiled me and treated me better than my cousin.
But later I found out that while I was having fun, my aunt spent a lot of money to send my cousin to various interest classes. She learned dancing, piano, painting, and even horse riding. My cousin began to win awards in various competitions. She knew almost everything. Others praised her for being smart, beautiful, and sensible. Everyone thought that I was inferior to her in everything.
I was so jealous at that time.
I told my mom that I wanted to take those interest classes like my cousin. But my mom said that my family is not well off and can’t afford to let me learn those expensive things. If I want to catch up with my cousin, the only way is to study hard.
After hearing what she said, I was very surprised. It turned out that while I was envious of her for being able to go out with my mother to eat, drink and have fun, she was actually envious of me for being able to take various interest classes. It turns out that everything you don't have is good.
"My aunt could obviously send me to interest classes, but she only takes me out to play. I asked my mother to pay for me to learn piano, but my mother didn't allow me to mention this to my aunt. My aunt's family has money earned by my uncle, and my uncle can't treat me like his own daughter.
I knew then that in my aunt's eyes, I was just a little pet that could please her. If she pleased me, she would feed me delicious food."
As soon as these words came out, my father and I looked at my mother. Sure enough, she was covering her mouth and almost crying. My father was afraid that she would be angry and affect the fetus, so he wanted to pull her out to stop her from listening. My mother shook her head stubbornly: "I'm fine, I want to hear how heartless she is."
Deng Sisi suddenly raised her head, the resentment in her eyes becoming even stronger, "Later, when I entered junior high school, the gap between my cousin and I became increasingly larger.
She attends the best high school in the entire T city. She has good grades, is beautiful, and wins many awards in various competitions. Almost all boys and girls in the school like her.
She became someone else's child, while I could only go to a third-rate middle school in a county town, with mediocre grades.
The most annoying thing is that no matter if my cousin comes home with a report card that places her in the top three of her grade, or a certificate for various competitions, my aunt always says, "Well, you did well on the test." It's as if she's already expected her cousin to achieve such results, and there's nothing surprising about it. My aunt simply has that much confidence in my cousin.
Even if I only ranked 20th in the class, my aunt would say with surprise: Sisi, you actually ranked 20th, that's great, I'm so happy for you.
Listen to me, even ranking 20th is worthy of her praise, which shows how bad I am in her eyes.
My cousin should have been that good, and I should have been a child of average ability. She would be surprised if I ranked 20th in the exam.
So snatching things from my cousin became my greatest pleasure. I used this method of constantly making my cousin sad to prove that my aunt loved me more.
Ha, I really want to laugh out loud three times. I have been disappointed countless times because no matter how well I did in the exams, my mother was always indifferent. She never praised me like she praised Deng Sisi. It seems that the person who was often praised was not satisfied either. It really depends on different perspectives and different perceptions.
So what's the point of my mom's partiality? Deng Sisi and I don't think she's good. It turns out the biggest failure isn't me, but my mom! She's offended the two people closest to her by her own strength.
The most amazing thing is that the knot in my heart that had been there for years seemed to be cured by Deng Sisi’s inner monologue.
No, it has transferred. The lump seems to have transferred to my mother. Her self-righteous fairness and compensation over the years have made her daughter estranged from her and her niece resentful of her. Both of her accounts are almost ruined. Now it depends on how the small account will be.
But I don’t care anymore, since I won’t be able to stay at home for many days in a year anyway.
I was just thinking about it when Deng Sisi suddenly changed the subject. "We both grew up with my aunt, but her attitude towards me and my cousin was different. I thought it was because we were related by blood."
Hearing this, I suddenly felt that she was about to reveal the biggest secret of my family besides the illegitimate child in my hometown.
