When Amelia was three years old, her brother, Cody, was born.

He was the precious of the family, so the young boy was spoiled.

That was when Amelia’s abuse started.

At that time, abuse was not a concerning matter. It was only known as “discipline” in the countryside.

As the saying goes, a hard stick makes a filial child.

But no one cared, even though she was a well-behaved child who did nothing wrong.

When she was four to five years old, she would learn to collect firewood, boil water, and cook rice. The countertops were all twice her height. And she would be beaten if she didn’t finish her chores in time.

That was the kind of environment Amelia grew up in ever since she was four to five years old. On the other hand, her younger brother, Cody, grew up under the meticulous care of all the elders in the family.

He was never wronged and was never scolded. He was given the utmost care.

On the other hand, Amelia, merely two to three years older than the golden child in the family, had to do all the chores and hard work.

The funny thing was that in a family in which preached patriarchy, Amelia’s father had no status at all.

In Amelia’s childhood memories, no one would care about her, apart from her father, who would secretly give her food.

She couldn’t do many things as a young child, so all she did were household chores.

When she grew up, not only would she do all the housework, she would even work on the farm. Everyone in the family wanted her to work the most but eat the least.

After Amelia’s facial features developed, her mother treated her worse because her appearance resembled a vixen.

She would be beaten and not given any food if she didn’t finish her work on the farm.

The desperation of hunger, accompanied by darkness and fear, as well as the scars and bruises on her body, were all the highlights of Amelia’s childhood.
