The King's concubine

Chapter 1: The angry mom and the annoying sister

Mei pov ..

Sitting on my small shop , a warm smile tugged my lips after looking at one of my finest new designs that I have seen and made , I wish somebody can buy this and appreciate it the way I do with all of the effort that I usually put on them .

The clothes that I have made makes me happy everyday I lay my eyes on them , I feel confident and on top of all everything in me sounds positive .

Mei , what are you day dreaming about, ? My sister Alessia asked after entering the small shop that was just two houses away from our home .

Umm I .. umm nothing, I stuttered and hide the beautiful dress on my lap . Ahh okay, mom's calling you . You need to go now and don't forget to close this shit of a shop after , because I am sure there are lot of chores that are awaiting you .
Okay I cracked out and sighed after she banged my door and left, I am used to this and this shouldn't be something that has to ruin my day .
Smiling broadly I stood up with the piece of dress and attached it on me and twirled around , it was long, but thin from the stomach and strapped with beads that I got on the market the other day ,. A satin cloth was attached inside and a heavy red sach completing the whole red dress .
"Gorgeous .."
I fold it and put it on one of the huge old cupboard and sighed . I took the basket that was beside the entry door filled with what we were going to eat today ,
Spinach , some fruitss and rice that I have bought earlier today by my own money , not that I care really .. it's my responsibility to share what I get with my family members , i kept on reminding myself that everyday .
Way to go .. I beamed and shut the door and locked it , I hummed a soft tune and walked home , from a far I could see a commotion ..
Ah this again, I groaned frustrated .
I ran until I was near , what In the hell are you guys doing, ?? Can't you see you are both embarrassing yourselves out here,? Letting people looking at you everyday fight like pigs , ?I question my mom and sister Alessia who looked at me with plain disgust
Don't talk to me like that !! They both yelled out,rolling my eyes I look at the people who were looking at us like we were something interesting .
We had always been the family filled with drama ,
Rolling my eyes , I walked inside our small house . Life is really hard and those two are still making things complicated . How ironic , I muttured and went to the fireplace to  lit up the fire ,
Not soon, the entry door of our house banged open and inside came the fuming Alessia and the angry mother .
You stupid girl , she gritted out and looked at me annoyed , I know she was capable of beating me up but not today ,
I won't risk it ,
I do everything at home , and they tend to stick their assss in some business that does not concern them . Great right, ?
And what do we have for lunch , mom asked after sighing dramatically ,
I thought it will be a key for you to what beat me up  and scold me like always , I fired back ,
You are really testing her huh, ? Alessia asked ,

I don't care Alessia , I am used to the both of you .I trailled off and started cutting the vegetables that I were on the small table .
You'd didn't answer my question , mom said .
Well we are having rice , spinach and some fruits that I bought today earlier ,
That shit !! ?? Alessia exclaims making me roll my eyes , oh please .. we don't live in royalty for goodness sake ,

Stop insulting what can feed your stomach , I tell her sternly,

Don't tell me what to do Mei , how am I supposed to eat rice everyday and spinach , ? Am I a rabbit or some kind of a Pig, ??
Stop overreacting, if you want something better then go out there find yourself a fucking prince and bring food on the fucking table !! I yelled pissed ,
They do nothing in here but talk shit and blame me for everything,

" A good life that I have .. "

A good mother figure and a very lovely wise big sister , not the sarcasm .

You are a bitch Mei ,Now  I can't talk what I want to say becuase you want me to listen to your stupid motherfucking lectures now and then ,? Since when did your ass gave birth to me , ? She asked sassily .

But I didn't answer , she wants to pin all my buttons and let me explode right now and I won't give her that kind of staisfaction.
Are you both done , ?mom asks after a moment , what do you think , ? Alessia asks ,

Give me some money Mei , I want to grab something on the neighborhood, she says and walks to me and giving me her hand .

I knew exactly what she was referring to. But I have been trying my best to keep her off from all her urges.
I have no money mom ,I tell her which is the half truth.
You know I hate to hear those kinds of words from your fucking mouth, now be a good girl honey and hand me over what you have before I make you ,

Shit !!I cursed under my breath and sighed ,

"Bu..t Mom .." I whinned frustrated but I was rewarded with a tight slap that erupted fire on my cheek .

I haven't forgotten how violent she could be because of her drinking and gambling addiction , I just can't stand her nor my fucking sister who is as selfish as mom.

Alright !!I cried out and took the coins that I had gained for the day and gave her everything with anger and stormed out of the house before Alessia starts any of her drama too .

I wish I could hate them , but they are family ..
