As I entered the unit, I saw Aunt Wang waiting for me at the door.
She rushed over with a worried expression, "Xiao Yu, don't take it to heart. They're all just being deceived by that Old Lady!"
"Aunt..." My throat tightened as I forced out a smile that looked worse than crying.
Aunt Wang patted my shoulder. "We need to find a way to expose their true colors! We can't let them bully us like this!"
Before she could finish, a sharp voice came from not far away, "Oh, look at the little mistress and the ungrateful wolf teaming up again. What kind of trouble are they planning now?"
It was Aunt Li from the neighboring building, standing there with her hands on her hips and a disdainful look on her face.
A few neighbors chimed in, "Exactly! People like them should be kicked out to avoid polluting our community's atmosphere!"
Aunt Wang's face turned red with anger. She was about to retort when an elderly man interrupted, "Alright, alright, mind your own business! If you don't want to be ostracized, just stay away from that girl!"
Aunt Wang gritted her teeth and looked at me apologetically. "Xiao Yu..."
"It's fine." I interrupted her, forcing a strained smile. "You should head back."
She opened her mouth but ultimately sighed and shook her head as she left.
Once I returned home and closed the door, I could hear the noise coming from the living room.
Grandma sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, laughing heartily at her phone screen. "Look at these comments, each one more satisfying than the last! These fools really believe what we said!"
My cousin lounged on the sofa, munching on sunflower seeds while chiming in, "Right? That girl must be wishing she could just disappear by now! Hahaha!"
I was so furious I could almost bite my teeth to dust, but I forced myself to take a deep breath and suppress my anger.
Just then, the doorbell rang—
I opened the door to find several relatives approaching with feigned concern. "Xiao Yu, we heard you’ve caused some trouble recently, so we came to check on you."
Their concern was fake; they were here for the spectacle.
Sure enough, before I could say anything, my aunt chimed in with a sarcastic tone, "Xiao Yu, how could you treat your grandmother like this? She raised you with so much care; how can you break her heart?"
Another relative jumped in, "Exactly! No matter what, she’s your elder. Can’t you show a little understanding? Just apologize and settle this down."
"Apologize?" I scoffed. "How has she treated me all these years? Has anyone ever stood up for me?"
My aunt's expression changed, but she still forced herself to say, "That's because you made a mistake. Everyone is tired of it; do we really need to explain?"
"Enough!" Grandma slammed her hand on the table and stood up, glaring at me as she scolded, "A penny pincher is just a penny pincher! You can't fight against the big ones. I advise you to be sensible; otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude!"
My cousin also stood up and slowly approached me. "Sister, you really don’t know what’s good for you… Do you believe I won’t teach you a lesson today?"
His tone was filled with threats, and his eyes shamelessly scanned me from head to toe, making me feel utterly disgusted.
I was on the verge of exploding, even wanting to shout and vent my anger, but suddenly a flash of inspiration struck me—I couldn't confront him head-on!
I lowered my head and spoke in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry... it's my fault... I shouldn't have secretly recorded and spread our family matters..."
My cousin paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. "If you had been this sensible earlier, it would have been much better! Just be obedient from now on."
While he reveled in his triumph, I quietly glanced at the hidden camera I had set up earlier. We shall see what happens next.
