"Embezzling money from the family, Manman, how could you even say such a thing?"
"You hit me? From childhood to now, you’ve never laid a finger on me, and yet now you hit me because of my sister, Mom, are you really still my mom?"
With tears brimming in her eyes, Su Man clutched the side of her face that had been struck, resolutely refusing to let her tears fall. She gazed directly into Mother Su’s eyes, her tear-filled gaze brimming with resentment and grievance.
"I’m not your mom, so you must have sprung out of the cracks in the rocks then?"
Mother Su was so angry with her daughter Su Man that she was gasping for breath. Grinding her teeth, she said, "Your sister’s child was found to have a serious illness. If they can’t treat it at the hospital over there, they will come back to North City with the child, and then see how your sister settles the score with you."
Su Man, her voice choked with sobs, said, "Settle a score with me? Why does she have to settle a score with me? What have I owed her?"
"This family’s mistress should have been your sister. You know that better than anyone. Tell me, don’t you owe your sister?" Hearing her own mother bring up the past, Su Man nearly fainted.
This wasn’t the Su family home; this was a big courtyard. And with her mother’s loud voice, not to mention strangers, even the two neighboring houses would surely hear everything that was happening in their yard clearly. How was she supposed to face people in the future?
Su Man tilted her head up, fought back the tears in her eyes, and then said coldly, "If you want money, there isn’t any. Mom, if you want to take my life, just come and get it!" She looked straight into Mother Su’s eyes, her gaze icy cold.
Her mother, who had cherished her for so many years, had completely changed her attitude toward her because of her sister, even slapping her today. Was she trying to force her to break off relations with her family?
"You..."
Mother Su’s mouth trembled, her finger pointed at Su Man, but she couldn’t finish her sentence.
