Today was Christmas Eve, my Christmas Eve dinner was the few mouthfuls of leftovers I ate before I came here.

My mom was right in front of my brother's bed.

She asked him if there was anything he wanted to eat or drink tomorrow, and she would go back to cook.

Looking at the happy family in the ward, I stared at them.

Suddenly, my dad kicked me.

"What are you looking at? It's Christmas Eve, and you're just bringing bad luck. All you do is crave for food and accomplish nothing."

My mother also twisted my arm hard.

"That's right. You only know how to go to school. How many years have you been in school? It's enough! You'll get married after the Christmas, so you don't have to think about your brother's things."

When my brother hears this, he starts to get angry instantly.

"Don't let this good-for-nothing use my things. They're all mine. Everything in my family is mine."

Grandma quickly rubbed her hand on my brother's chest to comfort him and threw the thermos at me.

"Silly girl, it's Christmas. Your brother is sick! You're still upsetting him! You're really a jinx."

I hid in a corner and didn't make a sound.

My mother snorted and comforted my brother with my grandma.

"It's all yours, all yours. You're the only male descendant in the family. Of course, everything in the family is yours. When your sister gets married, I'll give you all the money!"

No matter how they beat and scolded me before, asking me to do all the farm work, I wouldn't resist. I just wanted to go to school.

I was good at studying, so the school exempted most of my tuition fees.

I paid the rest of the money by picking up scraps and saving them up one by one.

I didn't spend my brother's money or use my family's things.

"Mom, please. My grades are very good. Let me continue to study. I can make more money for my brother in the future..."

My mother's face was full of mockery.

"What do you know? You're only worth 1,300 USD because you've been studying for a few years! In the future? You won't be worth anything when you're old. Marrying you now is the biggest thing you can do for your brother."

I stopped talking.

Yeah, how would they still want me to go to school?

After all, I was just an object in their hearts. Only my younger brother was their child.

My greatest value was to exchange it for money based on my weight.

"That's right. Otherwise, how could I stop Grandma from feeding my brother in my previous life because of my kindness and my head had been broken and I lost consciousness."

That was not all.

When they got home, they felt that it was not enough to vent their anger, so they hit me directly with the sticks, leaving a long trail of blood.

"Do you think you're so powerful just because you've been in school for a few years? How dare you stop your brother from eating and fight with your grandma!"

"How dare you! If I don't defeat you today, who will dare to marry you in the future? I heard that you went to school obediently, so I was willing to give you money! I'd like to see if you can be disciplined!"

"You said that your brother would die if he had an operation with a full stomach. Today, let's see who will die first!"

They threw me into the pigsty, my whole body was in pain and cold. Gradually, I became numb. On the contrary, I felt hot, so hot that I trembled.

The blood on my head stained my eyes, and the whole world was stained with blood.

I used my fingers to grab the feces and soil beneath me and crawled forward.

The lights in the room lit up the whole room.

My parents were sitting inside.

At this moment, I seemed to have heard the call of the Christmas in the village.

There were also sounds of fireworks and firecrackers.

I didn't climb into the house anymore. Instead, I tried my best to look up, hoping to see the fireworks.

It was a pity that I can only see the cruel redness in front of me...

Just like that, I died in the cheers of the Christmas and the fireworks all over the sky.

Day after day, when they saw the cold and hard body in the yard, they remembered that they had a daughter.

They regretted it.

It was not for their daughter, but for the 1,300 USD.

My mother stomped her feet irritably.

"Why did you hit her so hard? Old Mr. Lester would give us 1,300 USD! 1,300 USD! How could my son goes to school in the county without the money?"

My father gritted his teeth and looked at my body with a frown;

"I didn't know that this wicked girl was so stupid. What bad luck! It's Christmas! She caused us trouble before she died. I'll ask the dirty men in the village. After all, she's a virgin."

"He was born without being raised, he didn't deserve to be a human being.

They weren't just humans. After all, the animals in the pigsty had tried to warm me that night.

"Thus, since I have been reborn, why should I care about how they courted death?

That was the retribution they deserved. I would never risk myself to save the beast again.

In the hospital.

My younger brother was still making a scene. Once his temper flared up, the whole family couldn't stop him.

Grandma shouted anxiously.

"My grandson is going to have an operation tomorrow. I can't piss him off. Go to the doctor! Go to the doctor!"

My mother ran out and pulled the nurse on duty over.

As soon as the nurse on duty came in, she saw the food scattered on the ground with a very serious expression.

"The child hasn't eaten yet, has he? We've emphasized it many times that he can't eat anything before the operation tomorrow morning. He must be fasting because he will be anesthetized. When the time comes..."

My grandmother frowned and interrupted the nurse impatiently.

"No, no! It's all ours! We didn't feed him anything. What's the use of you coming here? Where's the doctor? This child was so angry just now! Will it affect the operation?"

When the nurse came in, my brother didn't dare to say anything in an instant.

After all, he was still a child, and he was naturally afraid of staff wearing white clothes.

Our family has long been famous in the hospital.

The nurse didn't care what my mother and grandma were shouting.

She checked my brother's condition and felt that there was nothing wrong.

She was about to leave.

Before leaving, she gritted her teeth and emphasized again and again.

"Don't eat anything, no! Do you understand? Otherwise, the operation will be fatal."

"The whole family got it. I got it. How many times have I said it? It's so annoying."

The nurse held it in and left without saying anything.

I didn't want to be beaten again, so I quickly found an excuse to leave.

"I'm going to get my brother's clothes."

I followed the nurse out of the ward.

I planned to rest on a chair on the floor.

After a while, I heard the people in the hospital counting down loudly, and then brilliant fireworks bloomed outside the hospital.

It was Christmas Eve...

I walked quietly to the window.

I looked at the bright fireworks, waiting for dawn to come.

The next day.

I followed them from a distance and watched them send my brother into the operating room.

The doctor was still repeatedly confirming if he was empty-bellied.

They nodded repeatedly as if they didn't care.

The operating light was turned on...

After a while, the doctor came out of the operating room with a mask on and a face full of anger.

"It's not empty stomach, it's not! You let him eat so much!"

My dad grabbed the doctor's collar and began to intimidate him.

"What are you doing here? Where's my son? If anything happens to him, don't even think about living."

Grandma also scolded the doctor, "He's hungry. What's wrong with eating a little? What's wrong with having something to eat? Why don't you treat him? Why do you care about his eating?"

The doctor was so angry that his eyes turned red. He could only suppress his anger and sigh that my brother couldn't be saved...

My mother pounced on him and began to beat the doctor.

"Didn't you say it's a minor operation? You must save my son's life! Otherwise, I'll make you pay for it!"

My grandma also pounced on the doctor...

"How many times have we said?! How many times have we said that you must pay attention to it? You all said that he didn't eat anything! This child is so young! How can you be so ignorant! Ignorant!"

The doctor was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He shouted angrily.

My mother was stunned by the roar.

She suddenly knelt down and burst into tears. "Your medical skills were not good enough, so you cursed my son, saying that it was because we had fed him food. How could he die from eating? It was unfair. You killed him and you should pay with your life."

"My only son, my only son... You bunch of bastards..."

My dad and grandma began to make trouble.

The nurse couldn't stop him. My dad picked up the fire extinguisher next to him and broke the doctor's hand...

The police arrived soon.

"My grandma and my mom protected my dad and cried loudly in the hospital, saying that the hospital killed their child.

For a moment, the police did not dare to rush forward to arrest them.

The doctor could only grit his teeth and bear with it. He turned around and went to deal with the wound, ignoring my family.

The village head also came for such a big event.

He pointed at my dad and grandma and trembled with anger.

"Do you know that this doctor is the only doctor in the nearby villages who dares to operate on a child?"

"You didn't listen to the doctor, and get your own child killed, and hurt his hand! In the future, everyone's child can only go to the town five hours away to see a doctor!"

At this time, my younger brother was pushed out with a white cloth covering him.

Although the village head was trembling with anger, he could only shut his mouth when he saw this scene.

When my mom and grandma saw my brother coming out, they rushed over in an instant.

They thought that the hospital could save him. He just ate something and the hospital just wanted to scare them and ask for more money.

But when the village head saw my brother's ashen face.

He could only sigh, "What a sin..."

Mother and Grandmother couldn't take the blow and fainted.

My father, who used to punch and kick me, was now paralyzed on the ground like a shrimp whose spine had been pulled out.

The people in the hospital hated them very much.

But out of professional ethics, the doctors and nurses still rushed up to save them.

In the end, the doctor didn't sue my dad.

"Although he wasn't arrested by the police, he couldn't hit me.

He had a stroke and half of his body was out of his control.

Grandma and Mom have to attend my brother's funeral.

So when I woke up, I pulled out the needle and asked someone to carry my dad home.

Looking at the cold Christmas Eve dinner, my grandmother cried and wailed.

"My dear grandson, the augur said that you were qualified to be a high-ranking official. How could you just die like this?"

Then she took out some colorful mushrooms from the cabinet.

She picked up these mushrooms from the mountains herself.

"Poor child, you can't eat it anymore..."
