They came back soon, and everyone's face was terribly gloomy, especially my dad, whose face was as black as a piece of charcoal. My mom hurried to calm him down.

"Pearl Williams, this is your fault. Look, you ordered so many dishes and the table cost more than a thousand dollars," my mother scolded.

"You should have a good rest tonight and avoid having nightmares." My father couldn't help but speak.

Pearl Williams was not convinced and said with a red neck that she just remembered it wrongly. She insisted that the zombie apocalypse would definitely break out.

My dad put out his cigarette, slammed the door and went back to his room. My mom sighed and said to Pearl Williams, "Pearl Williams , stop making trouble, your dad is angry. Your dad has always spoiled you, as long as you can tell him about the incident, your dad will definitely agree." Pearl Williams was furious and started to lose her temper at me again. Fortunately, I locked the door early, so she could only be furious outside the door, scolding me for my bad luck, saying that it was all because I didn't go tonight, and that I was a person who didn't know how to enjoy life, and that everything was blamed on me.

I put on my headphones, and my ears are so numb from all the insults.

As soon as I got up the next day, Pearl Williams began to tell stories vividly, describing what the zombie world she saw in her dreams was like, and how our family struggled to survive in the zombie apocalypse. And I was portrayed by her as a vicious ungrateful person who would sell out my family for food.

I almost couldn't help laughing out loud. My mother's face turned pale, and she looked at me with a little more alienation, and silently moved aside.

"Serena Williams, you won't really betray our family like your sister said, right?" my mother asked tentatively.

I didn't even bother to say anything, I just picked up my bag and went out to work. Pearl Williams screamed behind me: "Mom! Look at her! I told you she's an ungrateful person! Believe me!" Her tone was filled with uncontrollable pride and excitement.

At dinner, Pearl Williams solemnly announced her resignation. My dad slammed the table and said, “Nonsense!”
