Grandma and Aunt scolded simultaneously, "You little brat, running so slowly that you can't even catch up to a hot meal!"
I couldn't help but smirk inwardly; if it weren't for the need to disguise myself, I would have already run past them.
In my previous life, Grandma kicked me away, and I hit my head on the corner of the table, resulting in a huge bump. Yet Grandma didn't feel sorry for me at all; she just urged me to run faster.
I kept apologizing, saying I was sorry and asking them not to be angry.
After a while, Grandma and Aunt grew tired of scolding and fell silent.
A nurse came in and said, "The patient's condition is very serious; he needs to fast now."
Aunt and Grandma nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."
Once the nurse left, they began to whisper their complaints again: "Who do you think you are, meddling so much!"
Lu Xiaoguang started crying loudly, saying he was hungry and wanted something to eat.
Grandma and Aunt hurriedly comforted him, promising that once he got better, they would buy him lots of delicious food.
But Lu Xiaoguang was not satisfied; he insisted on eating right now.
The other patients in the ward voiced their discontent, saying, "Can you control your child? It's so noisy!"
Aunt shot back, "My child is sick and suffering; what's wrong with him crying a bit?"
The nurse came back to warn them that if he continued to cry, they would be asked to leave.
Aunt pointed at Lu Xiaoguang and said, "This is your brother; he's sick, you can't just ignore him!"
Grandma shot me a glare and said, "You have no say in this!"
As a result, Aunt's family was kicked out.
Back at home, Grandma wanted to cook for Lu Xiaoguang again.
Aunt frowned and said, "Mom, this time your cooking must be clean; otherwise, you'll have to cover our family's medical expenses!"
Grandma's face wrinkled in distress: "Of course, but about those expenses..."
Uncle grew impatient and said, "Alright, Mom, this time we'll pay; just hurry up and cook."
Lu Xiaoguang was not satisfied with Grandma's cooking; he cried and fussed about wanting meat.
Aunt and Uncle felt sorry for their son and said to Grandma, "Mom, please go buy some meat to make something good for Xiaoguang."
Grandma took out a few coins and said painfully, "This is all I have; I can't afford more."
I said from the side, "Grandma, Aunt, let me clean the yard."
Aunt glanced at me and said, "Don't pretend to be a good person here. You didn't eat earlier, so you didn't get diarrhea. Did you secretly poison the food?"
I quickly shook my head, "Aunt, how could that be? If I poisoned it, wouldn't I get poisoned too?"
Uncle glared at me fiercely, "Maybe you poisoned it because you were afraid of being poisoned yourself!"
Saying this, he picked up a stick and was about to hit me.
I hurriedly said, "No, no! I was busy buying popcorn for Xiaoguang today, that's why I didn't eat."
Uncle raised the stick and looked at Aunt.
Aunt said, "Alright then, I'll spare you this time. But if you dare to poison again, I'll beat you to death!"
Uncle put down the stick, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Big Black dog walked over to me and nudged my leg with its head.
I squatted down and hugged it tightly, tears streaming down onto the floor.
Big Black dog was very smart; it seemed to know I was crying and kept comforting me.
Lu Xiaoguang's body grew weaker and his temper worse.
He would explode in anger over the slightest inconvenience.
My hands were covered in bruises from his hits, and my legs were bruised from his kicks.
But I dared not resist; I could only endure silently.
During the New Year, Lu Xiaoguang could only eat bland food.
He cried out for meat, but no matter how Grandma and Aunt tried to persuade him, it was useless.
One day, someone outside set off firecrackers, waking Lu Xiaoguang up.
He grabbed a stone and threw it at Big Black dog: "Beast, get lost!"
The Big Black dog is protecting me. When Lu Xiaoguang threw a stone at me, it immediately bared its teeth and looked ready to attack. I was terrified and quickly ran over to hug the Big Black dog.
