The way how the little boy addressed me was stabbing deeply into my heart like a sharp blade!
Although I didn't mind my appearance before, no one has ever said that to me!
In fact, I wore a mask. But there were still some scars on my nose!
As soon as the kid shouted, other kids who were playing with him came over and pointed at me. They laughed loudly and shouted, "Ugly woman! Ugly woman!"
It was unknown where the parents of these children were!
When some adults around us saw this situation, they all gathered around to join in the fun. Some people pointed at me and judged me.
"No, no, it's not like that!" For a moment, I fell into a great sense of inferiority!
Finally, these children's parents came over and pulled them away. But none of them apologized to me!
I was instantly furious at that time. I rushed to the front of the children's parents and
looked at them, "Apologize! Your children have done something wrong. Please apologize to me!"
"Wow! The ugly aunt is coming!"
One of the little boys was screaming!
The child's mother didn't scold him. Instead, she looked at me and sneered, "You went out like this. I didn't blame you for scaring my child! How come you asked me to apologize to you?"
"I agree!"
Another child's mother next to her echoed.
The children also said, "Ugly woman! Ugly woman!"
The way how they addressed me made me so sad. As I stood there, my palms were sweating. I was just one step away from running away in fright!
"See? Children never lie. It's not your fault to be ugly. It's your fault to come out like this and scare others." The child's mother didn't think that her child had done anything wrong.
I said angrily, "Someone like you doesn't deserve to be a mother at all!"
If the boy were my child, I wouldn't have educated him into someone like this!
The woman shouted, "Could it be that you deserve to be a mother? You are so ugly. Does any man want you? You can't have a baby even if you want to!"
Finally, someone around us couldn't bear to see it, saying, "How can you talk like this? You don't educate your child well. How come you judged her like this?"
"That's right. Just now, you kid ran around. But you didn't restrain him. He fell in front of the little girl. She helped him up kindly. But your child called her ugly woman!"
"Like mother, like son."
In the face of the accusation of the ones around, those children's parents finally felt embarrassed and became angry from embarrassment, "What's wrong with you? Can't she, who is ugly, bear to hear others' judgement? Don't be ugly if she is capable!"
"That's right!"
The children's parents didn' regret their actions at all.
However, at this time, I lowered my head so low, intending to run away.
"She's ugly. But she's beautiful. Unlike you, although you look decent, you don't act decently and speak properly."
A man's voice rang in my ears.
I looked up and found that it was Michael who spoke up for me!
He was dressed in a set of sportswear with a shopping cart in his hands in which there were a few bags of vegetables.
Although Michael was old, he had a good temperament. And the children's mothers were not young anymore. When they saw Michael, they couldn't move their eyes away from him for a while.
However, at the thought that he was scolding them, they, who felt too embarrassed to retort, pulled their children's hands and said, "Forget it."
As they were about to leave, Michael quickly walked over, put his shopping cart in front of the women, and said, "Apologize to her."
As he spoke, he took out his business card and said, "I am this young lady's personal lawyer. Just now, your personal attack on her has formed a slander..."
"What, what kind of nonsenses are you talking about? We didn't do anything. Don't talk nonsense!"
