Chapter 3 — Little Fish Swimming Towards Freedom

"Your body, hair, skin, and skin were given to you by your parents. Tieu Ngu, your whole body was given to you by us! How can you cut off relations with us!" They thought I had no choice, thought they had found a reason to continue controlling me. But I burst into laughter again. "It was my parents who gave it to me, right?" "I owe my parents, right!" I coldly smiled, stood up, and did something that made everyone regret it. 5 I shouldn't have held illusions about them over and over again. I shouldn't have offered my sincere heart for others to trample on! I shouldn't have said every time that the birthday gift I made with my own hands was from my sister, just because I wanted them to be happy! I grabbed a machete from the stall next to it and fiercely slashed it at myself. Bright red blood splashed, but I felt a joy that I had never felt in the past eighteen years: "I give it back to my parents! I give this life back to my parents, is that okay?" My vision became more and more blurred, my body became colder and colder. "What I owe my parents, I have paid it all!" Finally, I couldn't control it anymore and fainted to the ground. Looking at my parents frantically running towards me, I smiled with satisfaction. It's a pity, in the future no one will love my parents like me anymore. When I woke up again, I was in the hospital. There was no one nearby. I know they went to celebrate their sister's birthday. In my memory, every time my mother returned home around this time, because this was her birthday. But since my sister was born, my mother never celebrated my birthday again. I love my mother, so every time they go to celebrate a birthday, I hide a small card in her room. Every time I see it, my mother is moved to tears. But every time my sister lied that it was her doing. I also agree without exposing it. I know if my mother knew it was me, she probably wouldn't be so happy. I don't know how much time passed when suddenly there was a noise outside the hospital room. Her mother's voice was full of dissatisfaction: "The doctor said she only had a superficial injury, not a serious illness! What did she have to run here for?" "She doesn't even remember when it's her sister's birthday, and she doesn't give her a birthday gift every time. I don't have such a heartless and meaningless daughter!" "I told her that since she was little, she's been jealous of her sister, always showing off her attitude towards her!" "And you even dare to use self-harm to threaten us! Really! Too much! If I hadn't seen her bleeding so much, I wouldn't have come here!" Dad sighed: "It's still Y Y who treats her sister well. Even though she's celebrating her birthday, she has to come here. Tieu Ngu doesn't look like an older sister at all!" "That's right, Y Y, after your sister went to the electronics factory, don't say you have this sister." "I've never even gone to college, I'm afraid I'll make you lose face!" Seeing them, I closed my eyes, but tears still flowed out disobediently. I estimated myself 730 points on the university entrance exam. I didn't go to college. Is all of this my fault? When my sister walked in, my parents didn't seem to want to see me, just standing outside the door. After entering the room, my sister gently closed the door, then held out her hand to me: "Where is the gift you were going to give mom? It's time to give it to me!" "Okay, stop pretending to be asleep! I know you're awake!" I opened my eyes and looked at her blankly: "Sorry, this year I'm not prepared." My sister immediately panicked: "How could you not prepare! How do you do business!" "If you don't prepare, what will I get for you this year?" Mom!” “Han

Ngu, I didn't expect you to become so selfish!" I coldly laughed: "Every year your gifts are given in my name. You don't have to do anything to still receive compliments, now you still say I'm selfish?" The younger sister immediately sat down on the ground, looking like a sassy girl: "I don't care! Han Ngu! If you don't give me a gift today, I won't leave you alone!" Hearing the commotion, my parents quickly pushed the door open and walked in: "What's wrong! Tieu Ngu, are you bullying your sister again?" Y Y rolled her eyes, pointed at me and cried: "Mom, the gift I prepared for you was stolen by my sister! I'm so heartbroken, mom!" "How could you not have a birthday gift this year... I'm sorry mom, it's all because I didn't take care of it carefully..." "Mom, hit me! It's all your fault, it's all because you couldn't protect the gift you gave me." Mom was extremely heartbroken, quickly hugged Y Y to comfort her: "Good baby, I'm already happy if you have this heart, it's okay." Dad widened his eyes and looked at me fiercely: "Where's the gift! Quickly return it to Y Y!” “No matter how many times your mother has celebrated her birthday, you have never given her a single item! Now I want to steal my sister's gift! Han Ngu, aren't you too much?" I looked at him coldly: "Dad, ask him, did I really steal his gift?" Y Y was scared by the hatred in my eyes, and quickly snuggled into her mother's arms:
