Everyone said marrying far from home was miserable, but Pei Xia thought her husband doted on her, her in-laws loved her, and her life was as sweet as honey.

Then, over New Year, her family video-called her in tears. “Xia, Mom needs surgery. Come home right away.”

Pei Xia hurried home, her heart full of worry. But when she walked through the door, she was met with the greedy faces of her whole family.

Her mother grabbed her, smiling broadly. “Xia, your sister-in-law wants to buy a house, but we don’t have the money. So we’re going to use your bride price to buy it for her, so she won’t divorce your brother.”

Pei Xia froze. “Didn’t we agree I could take it all back this year, after ten years?”

Her father slammed the table and roared, “I raised you all these years. Why shouldn’t I use your bride price? If your brother gets divorced, it’ll be all your fault!”

What hurt Pei Xia even more was that her eldest brother’s child was also waiting for her to pay the medical bills for surgery.

Only then did she see the truth: she wasn’t a daughter to them, but a permanent source of blood for the family to drain.

Just as she was preparing to leave early, she noticed a lump on her mother’s arm and forced the family to take her for an examination.

The hospital confirmed it: her mother had advanced breast cancer and needed surgery immediately.

When their fake illness turned into real cancer, everyone panicked.

And when Pei Xia stopped picking up the slack, everyone’s lives changed.

Later, Pei Xia struck it rich writing novels and moved into a big house with her husband and daughter. Her life flourished, while her birth family descended into chaos.
