Reborn as an 80s-aged woman, her unfilial son begs for forgiveness on his knees.

Li Xiaomei looked at the girl who was speaking.

They used to be best friends, and knew each other's family situations inside and out.

Now, however, in order to please Wang Fang, he has stood on the opposite side.

Not only did he constantly mock her about her family's past, but he also publicly revealed her mother's preference for sons over daughters.

Li Xiaomei felt a chill in her heart, but remained outwardly calm.

The girl, however, had a look of schadenfreude on her face.

"Li Xiaomei, you can't be so vain."

We all know what kind of person your mother is.

Could it be that you stole money from home and bought it yourself?

Stealing money is no good habit; your mom might catch you and beat you to death!

Upon hearing this, the students all looked at Li Xiaomei, their eyes filled with inquiry and suspicion. Li Xiaomei, however, smiled, a nonchalant smile: "Steal money? Why would I need to steal?"

My mom gives me 50 cents a day as pocket money, and I can buy whatever I want.

I was ignorant before, and I always felt that my mother favored boys over girls and didn't love me.

But I've only just realized that my mom is the best mom in the world.

She would get up early to make me breakfast, secretly slip an egg into my schoolbag, and stay by my bedside all night when I was sick. It's not that she doesn't love me; it's just that there are many children in her family, and she can't take care of everyone. She can't possibly give all her love to just me.

She would buy me new clothes and shoes, and secretly cook me delicious food to encourage me when I got good grades.

Wang Fang, don't be jealous of others just because you don't have new shoes.

You only get to wear your older brother's hand-me-down canvas shoes, so you think I should be like you, wearing the hand-me-downs my older siblings don't want.

Wang Fang's face flushed red instantly, and her lips trembled, unable to utter a word.

Li Xiaomei's words were like a knife, precisely piercing the sore spot she least wanted to be mentioned.

She always talked behind Li Xiaomei's back about how her mother favored boys over girls, but in her own family, the best things were always given to her brother first, and she wore her brother's old clothes and shoes that he didn't want anymore.

Li Xiaomei used to be just like her, dressed in tattered clothes, her clothes were covered in patches, and her shoes had her toes showing.

But now, Li Xiaomei is suddenly wearing brand new white sneakers and a brand new dress, and she looks completely different.

She felt a pang of bitterness and anger. Why? Why could Li Xiaomei suddenly get better, but she couldn't?

Furthermore, Li Xiaomei actually gets 50 cents of pocket money a day, while she doesn't have a single cent and has to rely on her mother's attitude even to buy an ice pop.

Why should I?

Looking at the envious looks from her classmates, Wang Fang felt a mix of emotions, a bittersweet feeling that she couldn't bear.

"Wang Fang, I haven't offended you, have I?"

But you target me at every turn, speak ill of me behind my back, and even join forces with others to isolate me.

I, Li Xiaomei, have never done anything to wrong you, so why are you doing this?

Just because I'm doing better than you now, does that mean you can't stand to see me doing well at all?

Li Xiaomei's voice was soft, but every word was clear, each one like a nail driven into Wang Fang's heart.

"You always say my mother favors boys over girls, but what about yourself?"

You're clearly a girl too, yet you took out all the anger you suffered from your brother on me.

My mom likes me a lot, but your mom might not really like you.

Don't think I don't know that your mother only dotes on your brother, and she even takes it for granted that you wear his old shoes that he doesn't want anymore.

Your brother often beats and scolds you, and your mother not only doesn't speak up for you, but also says that it's only right for a little girl like you to be beaten.

Actually, you hate your mother a lot, don't you?

You hate her for only caring about your brother and not you, you hate her for making you wear old clothes and shoes, you hate her for being indifferent when you were beaten.

But you may hate me, so why should you transfer that hatred onto me?

I am not your punching bag, nor am I your scapegoat.

In the past, Li Xiaomei always chose to tolerate the ridicule and exclusion from Wang Fang and others, thinking it was better to avoid trouble.

But today she didn't want to hold back anymore.

They can laugh at her, but they can't laugh at her mother, much less at her mother's love for her.

She has always been taciturn and dislikes arguing with others.

But today, she's going to pour out everything she's been holding back.

"Li Xiaomei, you've gone too far!"

Wang Fang burst into tears from anger.

The students' surprised looks seemed to ask, "You actually hate your own mother?"

Yes, she hated it so much!

She hated her mother for giving birth to her, for giving birth to her but not loving her.

Any good food or fun toys at home always go to the older brother.

She felt like an unwanted person in the family, having to be careful even when she was breathing.

She resented that her mother treated her like a maid, while her brother did no chores at home.

She hated herself even more, hated herself for being a girl, hated herself for not being loved by her mother like her brother.

But when these things are told to her, it's like being stripped naked in public, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Wang Fang covered her face, tears slipping through her fingers, unable to distinguish whether they were from anger or grievance.

"Li Xiaomei, you've gone too far!"

What gives you the right to say that to me? You know nothing!

Wang Fang's voice was trembling and choked with sobs.

"Didn't you always say that about me before?"

I'm just returning your words verbatim.

Li Xiaomei looked at her calmly, her eyes showing no triumphant joy, only a faint hint of mockery.

"You're so self-righteous when you criticize others, but why can't you stand it when it comes to yourself?"

"You...you're spouting nonsense!"

When did I say those things to you?

Wang Fang's face flushed red, but her voice clearly lacked confidence.

How could I not have said that?

Li Xiaomei was the easiest person to bully in the class.

Because no matter what you say to her, she won't talk back.

So everyone in the class, including Wang Fang, treated her like an emotional dumping ground.

Those harsh words were like knives, cutting into Li Xiaomei's heart again and again.

Li Xiaomei remembers every unpleasant word, every person who mocked her, and every cold look in her eyes.

Just because she never talks about it doesn't mean she's not in pain, or that she's forgotten.

Today, she simply tore open those wounds that had accumulated over the years, letting Wang Fang see just how painful those words really were when they were stabbed back.

"Li Xiaomei, do you think you're so great?"

You're a shameless little slut!

You're so young and you're already doing bad things, all you know is how to seduce boys!

Wang Hai from the next class has given you love letters. Do you think I don't know that?

You're dating Wang Hai, and you're even drinking his soda! You're shameless!

Wang Fang's voice became shrill, as if she had grasped at the last straw.

Li Xiaomei blushed, not from shame, but from anger.

"You're talking nonsense!"

I'm not dating any guys.

Wang Hai has sent so-called love letters to almost every girl in the school; 80% of the girls in our class have received them. Why are you singled me out?

Li Xiaomei's voice turned cold.
