A fake poverty that my parent build for me novel

2 My mother scolded me , saying I was like a reincarnated starving ghost , eating more than a pig , completely uncultured and ungraceful .

She sneered and told me that if she ever took me out , Id only humiliate her .

From that day forward , nothing I did was right in her eyes .

Even when she walked past me , she would pinch her nose in disdain .

I cried in the shower , scrubbing myself over and over , hoping to wash away whatever made her hate me .

But she just scoffed as she chided me disdainfully , Yanna , no matter how much you wash , youll never get rid of the stench of poverty on you .

Tears , hot and uncontrollable , streamed down my face .

For a moment , I thought I would see guilt in their eyes .

But all I saw was disgust .

Their revulsion lasted only a few seconds before their expressions turned indifferent as if I were a stranger .

Then , they turned and walked away .

I couldnt hold back any longer and shouted , Dad ! Mom ! Why ? Why did you lie to me ? Why are you pretending not to know me ? My father stopped and turned back , his expression cold .
