Chen Ruichun finally realized I was a maid.
He angrily questioned, "Why did you lie to me?"
I knelt on the ground, tears streaming down my face, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
He disgustedly shook off my hand, "Don't touch me, it's disgusting."
"I thought you were Granny Liu's daughter, but you're just a maid."
"What do you take me for?"
"Do you enjoy playing with me?"
"I love you so much, how could you do this to me?"
"Do you know how much I've spent for you?"
I sobbed in response, "I've spent all my money on you."
He laughed, "Just a few thousand bucks, do you think I'm a beggar?"
"If I had known you were a maid, I might as well sleep with your grandmother."
"At least that house belongs to her."
Anger and despair surged within me.
I slapped him across the face.
He grabbed my hair and dragged me to the edge of the bathtub.
He turned on the faucet, cold water spraying all over me.
He cursed viciously, "How dare you hit me."
"Look at yourself and see what kind of person you are."
"Slut."
I struggled desperately, kicking him several times.
In a fit of rage and humiliation, he pushed me under the water, shouting, "Die."
I swallowed several mouthfuls of water, choking and unable to breathe.
When I woke up, I was lying in the bathtub.
My whole body ached.
Chen Ruichun had already run away.
I struggled to sit up, found my fake eye, and changed my clothes.
I tidied myself up.
Then, I walked to Granny Liu's bedside.
I touched her hair.
She looked at me.
I said, "Granny Liu, your son is back."
"The second one is here."
"Are you happy?"
I smiled and said, "I think you're not happy."
"They're just a bunch of bastards."
"Do you remember when the eldest came back the first year and said he would take you away?"
"You were overjoyed."
"And what happened? He took you to the nursing home and just left you there, ignoring you."
"The second year, the Third Son said he would take you away."
"You cried from happiness."
"And what happened? He stayed at your house for half a month and then left you alone in the nursing home."
"This year, the second one said he would take you away."
"You cried from happiness."
"And what happened? He stayed for just a few minutes and then left."
"They're all animals."
"They're just after your house."
"If you didn't have a house, they definitely wouldn't care about you."
Granny Liu looked at me, her eyes cloudy.
Her breathing was heavy, like a broken bellows.
She said, "Ah ah ah..."
I touched her hand: "Granny, what do you want to say?"
She looked at me, staring intently.
She seemed to sense something.
Her eyes were filled with fear.
I smiled slightly: "Granny, I won't hurt you."
"How could I hurt you?"
"You are my best friend."
"You are the only one who won't despise me."
I sat on top of her.
I pressed a pillow over her face.
She struggled.
She whimpered.
She waved her hands.
Her strength was very small.
I pressed the pillow down harder.
She stopped moving.
I released my grip.
I knelt on the ground.
I slapped my own face.
As I slapped, I cried, "I am not human."
"I am not human."
"I am not human."
I told Granny Liu a secret.
My mom fell to her death.
She was injured, her bones broken, in great pain.
With no money for the hospital, she begged my dad to give her a shot to let her die.
My dad said, "Wife, just endure it; in a few days, it won't hurt anymore."
My mom crawled on the ground in pain every day.
She crawled to the riverbank.
She wanted to jump into the river.
