My parents have a people-pleasing personality, always instinctively leaning towards others and always siding with outsiders, while being petty and calculative towards me.
One time, our neighbor stole our electricity, a significant amount. My mom was furious and trembling, saying, "Doesn't this whole family have a single decent person? How dare they steal our electricity? Are they not reincarnated yet?"
Without hesitation, I called the police. However, to my surprise, my parents went to the neighbor's door carrying good cigarettes and alcohol, along with big and small packages, wearing a smile on their faces. My dad said, "Li Ge! Oh, it's nothing. It's just been a while since we sat down with you." Then he turned around and slapped me, saying, "This girl has no manners. Li Ge, as an adult, you shouldn't argue with a child!"
My parents have a people-pleasing personality, always habitually favoring outsiders, always protecting outsiders, but being petty and calculative towards me.
Once, our neighbor stole our electrical appliances, a huge amount, and my mother was so angry that she trembled all over: "This whole family is a bunch of scoundrels. How dare they steal our electricity? Are they trying to be reincarnated?"
Without a word, I called the police directly. However, to my surprise, my father and mother went to the neighbor's door carrying good cigarettes and alcohol, along with bags and packages, wearing a smile on their faces: "Brother Li! Hey, we just haven't sat down and chatted with you for a long time." Then they turned their heads and slapped me, saying, "This girl has no manners. Brother Li, as an adult, you shouldn't bother with children!"
I was stunned and suddenly realized that my parents' favor always turned towards outsiders.
In order to gain the favor of outsiders, they are willing to sacrifice anything.
Because they are the closest people to me in this world, even without deliberately defending them, I will always stand by their side because of our blood ties.
