Maybe it was the live broadcast incident that made people doubt if my mother was faking it.

Anyway, I had a relatively happy time.

Mom warned Grandma, "Mom, because I accidentally pushed Yanan last time, many people are now suspecting whether I have abused my daughter.

"We have to act for a while now, let the neighbors around us see us, so that it is good evidence that I don't favor boys over girls and don't neglect my daughter."

Now the household expenses rely on Mom, so Grandma naturally doesn't dare to have any objections.

So, for a long time, I haven't been locked in the dark room, and Grandma no longer pinches me and calls me a worthless burden like before.

Before going to bed at night, I made a wish again: "I hope this kind of life will last a bit longer."

But this kind of life ended when Dad came back.

"Honey, you're back!"

One night, I was lying in the warm bed making wishes when the door of the courtyard suddenly creaked open, and then Mom's joyful voice sounded.

Dad...

I'm really afraid of Dad.

Because he doesn't like me.

If Mom gradually stopped liking me because she was oppressed day after day, then Dad never liked me from the beginning.

I hate his eyes, like he's looking at some animal, it's a kind of viscous and disgusting gaze that makes me shudder.

Fortunately, Dad is not always at home.

Dad's arrival not only shattered my hard-earned illusion of happiness, but also brought me malicious disasters.

"Wife, Mom, let me tell you, Lao Lintou from the neighboring village, who went out to seek fortune with me, said he's willing to marry Yanan from our family."

What?

I secretly opened a corner of the door, wanting to listen more carefully.

"Mom, didn't you always complain that Yanan only eats at home and doesn't do anything, and you think she's especially annoying? As long as we marry Yanan off, we won't have to be annoyed by her anymore in the future.

"Wife, aren't you also complaining that Yanan is particularly popular among your fans, and you feel that she's blocking our son's popularity? As long as we send her away and find an excuse, the attention of everyone will be focused on our son, right!"

Dad saw that Mom was still hesitant, so he said, "Anyway, Yanan is already ten years old now. Let's find a reason to say that she's going to school outside and won't come home often, and then slowly let our son appear on the scene and interact with everyone. See, this way, we can shift everyone's attention without them realizing it.

"And you said that some fans have already started to suspect that you fake your love for your daughter. While things haven't gotten worse, we must take decisive action and end those bad trends at an early stage!"

Mom listened to Dad's persuasion and was still hesitant. It was her hesitations that made me feel that she still loved me.

So I held onto Mom's leg even tighter.

In this family, she was the only one who could save me.

Until one day, we went to visit relatives and met a Taoist priest on the way.

The old Taoist pinched his beard, squinted his eyes and pretended for a while, and then suddenly opened his eyes wide with surprise, saying, "Your family, it's really something!"

Grandma didn't understand and asked, "What does that mean?"

The old Taoist said, "Do you have two children in your family?"

Grandma nodded, this was obvious.

The old Taoist continued, "There is a child here, a gifted lucky star!"

Grandma became interested and asked him, "Master, do you know which one is the lucky star?"

"Someone in the family made a wish, hasn't your family had continuous financial luck recently? This is the lucky star bringing it to you!"

Grandma's eyes suddenly lit up, understanding.

But then she frowned suddenly, "But, your family also has a child with ill fortune."

Grandma exclaimed.

The old Taoist continued, "This child should not have been born!

"He will hinder the lucky star from bestowing fortune upon your family! And it will also affect your family's financial luck!"

When she returned home, she told Mom about this.

"If you ask me, Chengjie is definitely the lucky star, what do you think, Linfang?"

"My son must be the lucky star. After all, the year I was pregnant with him was the peak of my career. Shortly after giving birth to him, I had a big success!"

"So, Yanan is the calamity star."

"Before, Guoliang suggested marrying Yanan to Lao Lin from the neighboring village. I think it's a good idea. Linfang, even if you don't want to, you should consider this for the sake of this family, your work, and our grandson, right?"

I looked at Mom expectantly, only to find that she had finally made up her mind.

My heart sank.
