My brother raised his hand and slapped me across the face.
A loud snap.
My face twisted, and I fell to the side of the bed. "Mom..."
My daughter was terrified and rushed forward to block my way. "Uncle, don't hit my mom. She's not greedy for money!"
Seeing this, my mother quickly reached out and pulled my daughter aside.
"Sherry, don't go over there. You don't understand adult matters. Your uncle is just teaching your mom a lesson!"
I covered my swollen face and looked at my mother in disbelief.
Noticing the strange look in my eyes, my mother moved her lips and finally spoke in a persuasive tone.
"Alright, you two siblings, are you really going to become enemies over such a small amount of money? Sherry, get your things downstairs to the car!"
"Marjorie, I'm not saying anything bad, but he's your brother. Why are you fussing with him?"
"Haha, having a brother is like having someone to lean on. If you're bullied by your in-laws, you'll have someone to stand up for you!"
