The burning pain in my ears was unbearable, but I had no time to spare.

Because everything that had just happened aligned perfectly with the scenes in my dream.

This made me doubt that I was dreaming at all; perhaps it was a stroke of luck from the heavens, allowing me to foresee my future and giving me a chance to make a new choice.

Furthermore, I knew that if I uttered another word of protest, my mother would come back to slap me and then make me kneel down to listen to her scolding.

In the dream, I was like this, feeling wronged and unwilling to accept my mother's questioning and actions without a word. As my mother was about to leave, I raised my voice and said, "Why do you blame me every time my younger siblings make mistakes? Clearly, it's their mischief. Why don't you discipline them?"

This remark earned me a slap from my mother and a beating from my father.

While my father hit me, he scolded me, saying that my younger siblings were still young, and as their older sister, pushing the blame onto them was heartless and lacked compassion.

They also told me that no matter what my younger siblings did, as their older sister, I must be tolerant, must go along with their wishes, and must care for them. That's what a sensible and obedient child does.

In the dream, all I wanted was to escape from this family. After enduring that beating, I didn't care for my younger siblings, nor did I show any kindness to my parents and grandmother.

As a result, I suffered a lot of grievances.
