Chapter 438 Parents
The starving ghost Liu Zelin raised his head and said with a guilty look on his face, "Yes, I know that what I did was excessive... but I hope you can help her."
"My parents sent me to Sunshine Garden for Good Children, but instead of reforming me there, I developed a mental illness and was locked in a closet, starving to death. After my death, my soul has been trapped in this hospital. I really want to see my uncle and aunt and ask them not to push my sister into the fire pit."
"Is what she said true?" Che Zhengxuan looked at Mei Ling'er.
Mei Ling'er: "Well, anyone's lies will be exposed in front of me."
Liu Zelin had no intention of lying to them. She sincerely wanted to seek their help. When she heard Mei Ling'er's words, her trust in them increased a little more.
"What's this Good Boy Sunshine Garden you mentioned? It sounds like a training institution for teenagers. I'll search it online."
Liu Zelin's face turned pale as he fell into painful memories. The pores on his arms opened and the hairs on his arms stood up.
Che Zhengxuan stared at the search screen on his phone and muttered, "Good Child Sunshine Garden... A rebellious correction school. When a child develops a rebellious mentality, we can no longer use harsh methods to treat them. To ensure a better future for their children, parents should do this..."
Sadness and anger intertwined on Liu Zelin's face. "Would you send your child to a place like this?"
A tear fell from the corner of her eye. "My two sisters are so young, they probably don't have any children yet..."
Che Zhengxuan didn't even think about it and replied, "No!"
"Everyone goes through a rebellious phase, whether it's long or short, sooner or later. Sending children to a place like this... what's the point? The best people to accompany and guide them are their parents."
After hearing the doctor's answer, the starving Liu Zelin showed a bitter smile on his face.
"I was 16 years old at the time, in the growth phase, and my appetite suddenly increased. My stomach felt like a bottomless pit that could never be filled. I grew a lot taller, and I looked rounder."
"Some boys in my class started calling me names, calling me fat, or something like that. But I didn't take their words to heart, because I still had many other friends to play with."
"Not only do they say I look cute when I eat, but they also argue with people when they call me nicknames. I try to persuade them not to get so worked up, but they say they can't let others bully me."
"At that time, I was very happy every day. The delicious food and the company of friends made me feel incomparable happiness. The biggest problem I encountered every day was not being able to solve math problems."
"But all of this has become a time I can never go back to because of one parent. After the exams, the school organized a parent-teacher conference, and the parents were randomly assigned seats in the classroom."
"My mom was sitting with the parents of the boy who usually bullied me the most. Coincidentally, the boy forgot to bring his homework that day, and his father couldn't find his seat, so during the break in the parents' meeting, he came to the classroom."
"When the boy's father saw him, he called him over to his side. My mom was there too. When the boy knew my mom's identity, he blurted out, 'Auntie, you're so thin and pretty, why is Feifei so fat?'"
"According to my mother, her face changed immediately and she was furious. The boy's father scolded him and asked him to apologize to me and my mother."
"That night when Mom came back..."
The starving ghost Liu Zelin stared blankly into the air, lost in past painful memories.
After the parent-teacher meeting that day, Liu's mother returned home first. Liu Zelin, who was watching an idol drama in the living room, quickly stood up to greet her. Her midterm exam results were very good. The teacher said she was conservatively in the top 20 in the grade. Her mother would definitely be very happy and might even buy her a gift as a reward.
"Mom! Are you back?" The girl came to the entrance skipping and jumping with McFlurry Chicken-flavored potato chips in her hand.
Mother Liu was changing her shoes with her head down. When she heard her daughter's voice, she raised her head and saw her daughter's fat body. The boy's classmate's words flashed through her mind. The woman narrowed her eyes and fixed her gaze on the bag of potato chips in her daughter's hand.
Snapped!
The bag of potato chips in Liu Zelin's hand was hit by the silver high-heeled shoes thrown by Liu Ma, and the potato chips were immediately scattered all over the floor.
The girl was terrified, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
Liu's mother's face was full of disgust, and her cheeks were slightly red because of the anger rising in her body. She strode into the living room and bumped into the girl as she passed by her.
The impact was so strong that the girl took a few steps back, barely able to keep her balance.
"Mom..." The girl followed her mother timidly. She didn't know what she had done wrong to make her so angry.
"Don't call me mom!"
"I don't have a daughter as shameful as you!"
Liu Zelin's eyes were filled with tears and she was about to cry in the next second.
"How dare you cry?" Aunt Liu straightened up and pointed at the girl's nose and asked, "Do you know that the boys in your class have a nickname for you?"
It turned out that it was a nickname given by a male classmate... Liu Zelin still couldn't figure it out. Her friends also said that it was the other party's fault. Why did her mother get so angry with her? Was her mother dissatisfied because she didn't fight back when she was bullied?
"Mom, please listen to my explanation... They don't mean any harm by what they say. As long as I don't take it to heart, it's fine. I actually..."
"Don't you care?" Liu's mother interrupted the girl. "Look at you now. Is what they said wrong? You're just a fat bastard!"
Boom!
A string in the girl's brain broke, and the chirping of thousands of insects appeared in her ears. Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
And the mother's criticism continued.
"Do you know how embarrassed I am today? I've always been considered slim and pretty, but whenever I take you out, everyone says you look like your dad with a look of pity. As soon as that male classmate of yours said that today, all the parents in the class stared at me. How could I...how could I have given birth to such a disappointing daughter like you?"
"Mom...how can you say that to me?" Liu Zelin grabbed her mother's arm, trying to awaken her maternal love.
Aunt Liu pulled her arm and said unhappily, "From today on, you can only eat half a bowl of rice per meal."
A strong sense of sadness surged in Liu Zelin's heart, and her eyes turned bright red, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mom, I beg you..."
