Later, when my sister-in-law and my brother conspired to have me take the fall for my nephew, my mother, though reluctant, did not stop them. In this life, I would not give them the chance to hurt me again. With that determination, I felt much lighter.
After dinner, I returned to my room to start packing. In a few days, I would be heading to college. Just thinking about leaving this home and embracing a new life made me incredibly happy.
There was a knock at the door. When I opened it, I saw my mother standing there awkwardly, looking embarrassed. "Ning Ning, about your sister-in-law feeding Haohou salt, you mustn't tell anyone. She's not someone to mess with, and I'm worried she might cause you trouble."
I felt warmth in my heart and nodded. "I understand, don't worry."
Seeing my calm demeanor, my mother sighed in relief and casually asked, "Ning Ning, has your scholarship come through yet?"
I knew what she was thinking and replied directly, "Mom, I can only apply for the scholarship after school starts. Right now, I only have the prize money from the college entrance exam—eight thousand yuan in total."
Her eyes lit up. "Really? That's great! Your brother has been a bit tight on cash lately; could you lend it to him?"
I shook my head. "Mom, it's not that I don't want to lend it; it's just that this eight thousand yuan is useful for me."
My mother frowned. "What do you need it for? You're a girl living at home with minimal expenses; what's the point of keeping that money?"
I calmly said, "Mom, I'm going to school soon; I need to buy some things. Plus, I want to get a second-hand computer."
Her expression darkened. "What do you need a computer for? You're a girl; why bother with all that nonsense? Your brother is still waiting for money."
I smiled. "Mom, times have changed. A computer is essential now, and I'll be applying for scholarships; it will be enough to cover tuition."
She glared at me. "Why are you being so stubborn? Don't forget how much your brother has done for you."
I chuckled lightly. "Mom, have you forgotten? My brother was already eighteen when he brought me home; I've remembered everything since then."
My mother's face stiffened as if she recalled something, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.
I continued calmly, "My brother has helped me a lot, but I've also taken care of Haohou for seven years. What I owed him has long been repaid."
She became anxious. "Ning Ning, what do you mean by that? Do you not want to take care of this family anymore or your brother?"
I shook my head. "Mom, I just want to start a new life. Don't worry; I won't abandon you."
My mother's expression finally improved a bit, and she urged me to give the money to my brother.
I refused, "Mom, I really need this money. Please don't persuade me anymore."
My mother, angry, turned around and left.
I closed the door, feeling heavy-hearted.
My mother is selfish and self-centered.
When I was young, she left me with my grandmother to take care of me just to have a son.
After my brother got married, he never contributed a penny for support; it all fell on me to provide both financially and physically.
Yet they are still not satisfied, always thinking I should selflessly contribute to this family.
In this life, I will no longer allow them to exploit me.
After deciding to leave home, I quickly packed my bags.
I took my identification, some daily necessities, and a few changes of clothes.
As for the rest, I didn't touch anything.
Soon, the house would become chaotic, and I needed to prepare in advance to avoid being dragged into it.
When she heard I was leaving, Bai Zhenzhen was very happy.
She had wanted to drive me away for a long time so she could turn my room into a dressing room.
My mother, however, was reluctant to let go.
After all, when I was at home, I gave her a thousand yuan for household expenses every month. Once I left, she would have no money coming in.
But seeing Sister-in-law's displeased expression, she eventually nodded in agreement.
On the day I left, my mother had red eyes and looked reluctant.
She rambled on about many things, telling me to take care of myself outside and to let the family know if anything happened.
I smiled and agreed.
