At my funeral, she pretended to repent to me, saying, "Fiona, don't blame mom. I can't let my precious grandson be without a mother just after he was born."
Just like that, I died at the hands of my family members I trusted the most.
Thinking of this,I concealed the hatred in my eyes and calmly looked at Emily.
"Emily, you're right. You're the baby's mother, and you definitely love the baby."
Only then did she nodded in satisfaction.
"Did you hear that? You hospitals are just after money. If I listen to you, and my child couldn't absorb enough nutrients and develop poorly, I will never let your hospital off."
The young nurse gasped for breath, as if thinking of something terrible, and hurried away without looking back.
Looking at Emily's proud expression as she stroked her belly,I really wanted to see what kind of baby she could give birth to this time.
When I got home, as I was about to go back to my room, Emily winked at my mother, and my mother immediately called out to stop me.
"Fiona, mom wants to talk to you about something. Your nephew will be born in three months. As his aunt, you can't just do nothing,right?"
Seeing me staring straight at her, my mother pulled me to the sofa and whispered to me, "Since you live at home, you can't just consume for free. Your sister-in-law needs to strengthen her nutrition now or even more. How about you increase your household payment from 3000 to 8000. In addition, you prepare to buy two big gold bracelets for your nephew as a meeting gift."
"It is all for your own good. This house will sooner or later belong to your brother and your sister-in-law. If you don't show some sincerity now, if they drive you out, you won't have a home to go back to. If something happens to you in the future, no one will support you."
I just graduated last year.Since the month I started working,my mother has required me to hand in money for household expenses every month.Besides,when the electrical appliances at home broke down,my mother asked me to buy new ones with my money.When the daily necessities were used up,my mother asked me to buy them online.
I always thought that my brother, like me, had to contribute to the for household expenses every month.
Later,I found out that from beginning to end,my brother didn't give a single penny.Even worse,my mother would use my money to subsidize him.
When I confronted my mother about this, she would pretend to look aggrieved, and say,“Your brother isn’t as capable as you. Besides, he's a man who will be the family's breadwinner in the future. It’s useful to save the money for him."
In the past, I was brainwashed by her and was willing to take out my money to support their family. Now, I didn't want to be the victim anymore.
I calmly pulled my hand away,kept a distance from her,and wore a distant smile on my face.
"Mom, speaking of which, with my nephew about to be born soon, there are a lot of stuff needed for the baby, so I decided to move out and make room for your family. I won't be paying the household expenses anymore."
Thinking of my experience in my previous life, at this moment, I justed want to escape from this home as soon as possible.
Intentionally or unintentionally,I emphasized the words"your family"very strongly,but my mother didn't notice anything strange and just asked,"Even if you move out,you're still the child's aunt.You can't not give a meeting gift,right?That's really inappropriate."
I didn’t feel like talking to her and just replied, "There are still a few months before the baby is born. When he's born, I will definitely give him a big gift."
Hearing this,my mother was relieved.She rubbed her hands and happily added a big spoonful of sugar to the meal she cooked for Emily in the kitchen.
"It's good to eat some sugar. If you eat more, my precious grandson will have more nutrition and grow well."
That afternoon,I moved out of the home that had exploited me for more than twenty years.
Until the moment I went out,I suddenly felt that even the air was free.From now on,every penny I earn can be completely spent on myself,and no one can kidnap me with various reasons anymore.
Unexpectedly,a month later,I suddenly received a call from my mother in the middle of the night.
My mother almost cried on the phone, "Fiona, come to the hospital quickly. Emily has a stomachache in the middle of the night. We got here in time, but we don’t have the money for the medical expenses. Hurry up and come over to pay them.."
