Chapter 477 Fang Mingyue: I still want to live

Mu Lian looked at her daughter in disbelief. Even Fang Guoqiang hadn't expected his usually timid daughter to react this way.

In my memory, Fang Mingyue was lively and cheerful when she was a child. But I don't know when it started, she became more and more silent in this family, but she was always obedient. If Mu Lian told her to go east, she would never dare to go west.

But today—

"Fang Mingyue, are you courting death?! You ungrateful wretch, you good-for-nothing, how dare you defy me! Who gave you the audacity to speak to me like that!"

Mu Lian, who had always maintained a tight grip on her daughter, was completely unable to accept her daughter's resistance. This was even more painful for her than Fang Guoqiang's beating of her.

She suddenly scrambled to her feet and, without thinking, slapped her daughter hard across the face.

But this time, Fang Mingyue did not suffer in silence.

She suddenly raised her thin arm and grabbed her mother's wrist as she swung it.

In the past, she was as insignificant as dust in this family.

The mother only had eyes for her son; if anything displeased her, she would beat or scold him.

Although her father did not favor boys over girls and loved her, he was too busy and could not take care of the family at all.

Even if she mustered the courage to cry to her father, the matter would always be glossed over as long as her mother shed a few tears of grievance. But once her father left, what awaited her was even more torment.

The hopeless future taught her to be compliant at a young age.

She had thought that this was how her life would be.

Like my eldest cousin on my maternal grandmother's side, who one day married a terrible person for her brother's future; or like my second cousin, who went to the countryside for her brother as soon as she turned sixteen, living a life where she could see the end from the beginning.

But today, at this very moment—she seemed to see hope.

Her second brother and sister Nuonuo saved her once again.

"You...you actually dared to fight back?!" Mu Lian's eyes widened as she stared at her daughter in shock.

"Why wouldn't I dare!"

Fang Mingyue knew that this was her only chance.

For her own future, she must make her father kick this woman out today, and she must also make that so-called younger brother get out of the house.

It's time to say all those things that have been weighing on my heart for so many years.

“In your heart, I have never been your daughter, but just a punching bag for you to beat and scold, an object that you can sacrifice everything for your precious son at any time!”

"I've never understood why you didn't just strangle me when I was born if you hated daughters so much. That would have saved you a lot of food and money."

"And... how dare you say those things to Father just now? Have you forgotten all the things you did?"

"You tried every means to drive your older brothers out of this house, just to seize the wages of your grandparents and father, and you even wanted to take the dowry left by Aunt Zhou An for yourself!"

"It was Fang Li who hit me, but you forced me to say it was my second brother. Fang Li tore up Grandpa's calligraphy and painting, but you insisted it was Sister Nuonuo who did it."

"Because you know that these things will only make Dad more disappointed in his eldest and second eldest brothers, but they won't cause trouble for the Zhou and Bai families. No matter how much Grandpa likes a painting or calligraphy, he won't pursue Sister Nuonuo, so these things will definitely not be exposed. But Dad will feel uncomfortable because he knows that it is Grandpa's favorite."

As long as your father and your eldest and second eldest brothers have a falling out, your grandparents, as parents, will naturally favor their own son, and that will achieve your goal.

Unfortunately… you underestimated how important your eldest and second eldest brothers were to your grandparents. The end result was that our family of four was turned away from their home. For the next few years, they refused to budge, and now they only allow Dad to visit occasionally, but we can no longer go to their house.”

"After that incident, you realized that all of this was useless, and you resented your grandparents for not allowing us siblings to stay in the past. Since you couldn't find another opportunity to cause a rift between the father and son, you set your sights on Sister Nuonuo."

I happened to see Sister Nuonuo playing in the central lake, and she forced me to push her around, even though it was winter!

But you don't care at all; you just want your older brothers and the family to completely break ties! Because you know very well that they care most about the Bai siblings!

“I was terrified and refused to go, but your precious son rushed over and pushed her into the water! When my older brothers came to confront you, you turned around and blamed it all on me, saying that I accidentally pushed Nuonuo into the water because I was trying to steal her dress!”

"I'm a coward and didn't dare to tell the truth. As a result, Fang Li and I were hung up and beaten by my older brothers. I deserved it because I was cowardly. I don't hate them. I only hate you!"

"Do you remember what you did back then? You ran out that day and went around the compound saying that your older brothers beat me and Fang Li to death in order to steal my things, trying to ruin their reputations here and even trying to cut off their future."

Afterwards, when you went home, you only cared about Fang Li, applying medicine to him and coaxing him to eat, but you left me on the cold ground, ignoring me completely, just so Dad would see me injured and sick when he came home, so he would cause trouble for his older brothers and deepen the conflict between them!

“That night, Fang Li developed a fever, and you rushed him to the hospital, completely forgetting that I was also covered in injuries, had a fever, and hadn’t eaten or drunk anything for a whole day and night…”

Do you know who saved me?

“It was my second brother and Sister Nuonuo. My second brother had just been scolded by Dad the day before, and he originally wanted to come and smash up this house the next day... but he found me in a small room on the first floor.”

"He and Sister Nuonuo applied medicine to my wound and cooked me a bowl of hot porridge. If it weren't for them... by the time you leisurely came back the next day, I might have already died!"

Fang Mingyue chuckled softly and slowly looked at her father: "Dad, you are a high-ranking military officer, and your monthly salary is several times that of an ordinary worker. You probably can't believe it, but your daughter doesn't even deserve a bowl of thicker mixed grain porridge when you're not home. I always eat the leftover soup from Fang Li and Mu Lian."
