She was livid, so in the dead of night, she fed all those delicious treats to the family dog, Cooper.

Her grandma, angry, pointed at her and accused her of being malicious, saying she wasn't acting like a proper girl and would struggle to find a husband when she grew up.

During every meal, her cousin would dig through the dishes with his chopsticks before the adults arrived.

Her grandparents never uttered a word.

But one time, she reached for a chicken leg from the plate and got caught by her grandma, who promptly dragged her in front of her father, accusing her of being a "starving ghost reincarnate." Her father glanced at her, frowned, and said, "Where are your manners? Who told you to touch the dishes before the elders? Why can't you wait? Always thinking about food, what kind of future will you have? I shouldn't have allowed your mother to raise you!" That was the first time she found her father so distasteful.

She had intended to offer him that chicken leg.

If she hadn't taken it, her grandma would have given both to her cousin.
