I was sick and needed 4000 dollars for the surgery. I sent a message to our family group chat, but after 48 hours, there wasn't a single reply. I called my parents, but my mom said, "We're also feeling the pinch right now. You need to find a way to manage on your own." I reached out to three friends, borrowing money from here and there, and ended up signing the consent form on the operating table all by myself. After being discharged from the hospital, I left the family group chat and never went back home for holidays. This Christmas Eve, my dad suddenly called me. I thought they had finally remembered me, but the first thing he said was, "Your nephew got accepted into a university abroad, and we need 500 thousand dollars. As his aunt, you should really chip in." I laughed, "After refusing to give me 4000 when I needed it, how dare they ask me for 500 thousand now?"
