"Pique", not "peak"
A peak is the tip of a mountain or something similar, pique means to arouse interest

@Keai @Notesha : it is in the web novel, partly in the "parent" POV chapters, which the story has not reached yet. There is also some info in the first chapters, which I do believe have been translated, that the manga skipped.
But the biggest part is something the artwork of ch 1 downplayed.
@PhoenixStriker5251 : the Miko only has to do with her abandonment, the mistreatment is all pre-miko. Though the abandonment alone is enough of a reason to make it a touchy subject.
But the biggest part is something the artwork of ch 1 downplayed.
The mother is from a fallen noble line, but has a common appearance, the sister has looks more in line with their noble ancestors apperance, while the MC looks more like everyone else.
The difference in appearance, plus the MC having a different personality (which they saw as creepy) led to the difference in treatment, by the whole village.
It seemed the Father only ever bonded with the "beautiful" sister, and destroyed the MC's weak bond with the mother

According to a comment on the previous chapter:
Alice will get her title removed and apparently reform herself.
Mom was apparently terminally ill when she gave birth to Alive and MC. Lerunda’s presence staved off the illness, so her absence causes the mom to eventually die.
According to a comment on this chapter, the difference in treatment was because only Alice inherited the noble phenotypes from their fallen-noble mom (or dad).
Mom getting sick exposes the ugly truth, and Dad gets sent to prison. He escapes during a civil turmoil to another country, is enslaved, escapes again during a revolt, tries to return to Alice, and is killed by the monsters that were previously driven away from the village by Lerunda’s presence.

Why would they blame Lerunda for cursing them if she’s:
1. Supposed to be the “normal/non-miko” child?
2. Supposed to be DEAD?
I suppose they MIGHT blame her simply because she’s the unwanted child, but blaming a child who (probably) did not display any magical prowess for somehow cursing the whole village is a rather weak argument. (“She’s bad, so it must be her fault!”)
If anything, the other villagers might cast doubt on the parents. (“God protects places that the Miko loves, so why does YOUR child NOT love this place? Do YOU hate us? Etc.)

@PhoenixStriker5251 : if the mistreatment was not before the whole Miko nonsense, which is when the priesrs arrived for her, then the parents would not have hid 1 daughter from the priests.
That she is being mistreated is obvious ch1 part 1 for anyone with even basic reading comprehension. They are forcible hiding her from the priests who just came, and she is in dirty rags while the sister is in a very well made and cared for dress.

... Why does it emit such a dark aura, that pot...
Also, she has a tasting dish in her hand... Does that mean she tasted it when it was still alright?
Is she one of those? The person who takes a bit to the side and tastes the outtake over and over again to see if the addition to the pot is enough?

Do you believe that parents giving such obvious favorable treatment to one child and then promptly dropping the mistreated one into a forest is just because one is 'brighter' is capable of such basic common sense? I don't.
Brain dead people exists even in reality
and I simply believe that these parents are one of them.

Not you, just in case I need to point that out.

You've got a point. The mistreatment is pretty obvious in the beginning, though the manga doesn't exactly indicate how long that mistreatment was for.
Given the "fallen noble lineage" context, it becomes more clear that the situation is a Cinderella-esque, "she's prettier/nobler, so f*ck the ugly one" scenario.
For some reason, I thought the mistreatment was just because "One of our children is about to become famous, and it most certainly isn't the ugly duckling, so screw her right now. We won't need to bother with her anymore once Alice becomes the Miko, since she's not worth the effort."
Your comments have made it clear that this bias didn't just start because "the Miko is in your house". Rather, it's always been that way, and this is just an extension of that.
The reason they hid her is probably because:
1. child abuse is probably not legal in this setting, especially in the eyes of the church. (Given that the dad apparently got arrested when what he did came to light, this is probably the case.)
2. Even if it's not illegal, it's not exactly a welcome sight.
3. noble-commoner bias. *
4. If Lerunda somehow got picked to be Miko, she could totally expose everything they've done to her, and then the church/kingdom might do something to the parents to prevent "divine judgement" from falling on the whole country. (Remember how they exiled the researcher because she apparently upset Alice by trying to make her LEARN Miko stuff? If they're gonna exile people for arguing with the "Miko", what are they going to do to people who straight up abused the Miko?)
@Nep
You've got a point. If they're disgusting and irresponsible enough to literally leave one of their children to die, they're probably just as shameless enough to blame said blameless, probably-dead child for their problems. People are more than capable of being irrational, and these scummy excuses of parents clearly aren't above it.
Still, I'm curious as to whether a single person in the entire starving village will question why all the plants are dying when God's supposed to protect stuff important to the Miko

They might not be the smartest (given that they're villagers), but I imagine at least one person will at least realize that something is very wrong when the ENTIRE village's crops all simultaneously begin to wither and be eaten away by bugs.
I hope the manga shows us their reaction...

@Liquidxlax I have this nagging feeling that a tragedy is about to happen and the newcomer's gonna get flack for that
