Chapter 405 Sympathy

Lin Xiaoxia and Lin Rui discussed it and decided that each of them would donate some money in the name of their own store. Lin Xiaoxia donated two thousand and Lin Rui donated one thousand, making three thousand in total. Plus Qin Zhigang guaranteed that he would have some left, and with a little more donations, it would be enough.

After discussing it, Lin Xiaoxia asked Lin Rui to go to work properly, and she went home to make two large envelopes, wrote the names of the barbecue restaurant and the seafood store and the amount of donation, then took out the passbook and withdrew 3,000 yuan, which she would first pay for her second brother.

Then he called his aunt Lin Miao and told her that he was busy at the store and would be back in the afternoon.

Everything was ready. She called Sun Qiang and told him that she would not go in person, nor would she let the Lin family go. She just didn't want to have any involvement with the Qin family. She asked Sun Qiang to take people with her. It was just a philanthropist donating money to the children, and it had nothing to do with anything else.

Sun Qiang understood Lin Xiaoxia's meaning, agreed, and went with two employees from the store.

Lin Xiaoxia gave the money to Sun Qiang at the hospital gate, asked Lin Rui to take them to the ward, and waited outside.

Not long after Lin Rui and Sun Qiang entered, Qin Zhigang came to the hospital entrance with a cardboard box with the words "Please donate for your beloved son" written on it, collecting donations.

Lin Xiaoxia saw Qin Zhigang but ignored him and waited for her second brother and Sun Qiang under a tree nearby.

Kind-hearted people came to Qin Zhigang's side to donate money one after another. Although they were only a few cents, they were all donated out of love.

About half an hour later, Lin Rui, Sun Qiang and others came out and said that they had made the donation, and the doctors also witnessed it.

They also saw Qin Zhigang at the door, but ignored him.

Seeing that it was noon, Lin Xiaoxia, Sun Qiang and Lin Rui had lunch together nearby.

Passing by a public phone on the way, Lin Xiaoxia called Lin Jianye and told him that the matter had been resolved and he didn't need to worry. Anyway, her family had nothing to do with the Qin family, so he could rest assured.

Lin Rui invited them to have lunch together at a nearby restaurant where their colleagues often ate.

During the meal, Sun Qiang still felt sorry for the child when he talked about him. "He was less than a year old, his face was purple from holding back, and his cries were no louder than a cat's meow. He looked really pitiful. We are doing a good deed. No matter what the adults are like, the child is innocent. Sister-in-law, this donation will be made by our store, not yours personally. I also really feel sorry for the child."

Lin Xiaoxia said, "That's fine, Qiangzi. When we make more money, we can set up a foundation to treat abandoned babies in hospitals or children who can't afford medical treatment."

Sun Qiang said without hesitation: "Okay, if we can help so many poor children, we will be doing good deeds."

Lin Rui said, "Although I don't earn as much as you do, I am still one of you. I don't make much every month, but I can always contribute a few hundred. I have been in the hospital for a long time and have seen too many children abandoned because of illness."

Lin Xiaoxia said: "So we have to make more money, pay more taxes, contribute more to the country, do more charity, and help more people in need."

Sun Qiang said: "My sister-in-law and I not only learned how to do business, but also how to be a good person."

Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "I'm not as noble as you say. We are just kind people."

At this time, Qin Zhigang and Li Xiulan finally felt a lot more relieved after paying the child's surgery fee.

The two of them naturally knew where the money came from, and they also understood the meaning of others drawing a clear line between them.

Li Xiulan wiped her tears and said, "Who could have imagined that in the end, it would be the Lin family who would help us. I really regret it. If I hadn't treated Zhaodi so badly, and let her go back to her biological parents, wouldn't it be great if we could just be relatives?"

Qin Zhigang said, "Were we not afraid that if we lost contact with Zhaodi and adopted a son later, it would be exposed after a while. We also wanted to keep the secret after adopting a son."

"But if I hadn't asked for money, or if I hadn't been so ruthless, Zhaodi would have been heartbroken. I raised the child, and I often dream about her now. I really miss her, but I don't have the face to see her."

"Actually, I think of Zhaodi often. Although I don't like girls, she grew up in front of me after all. I regret it too."

"But it's too late now. Maybe we've done too much wrong, so now God is punishing us. This son has had such a rough life."

"Maybe, but everything can't be repeated, otherwise I would never break off my relationship with Zhaodi."

"You saw her. How is she doing?"

"Good, very good, she looks like a city girl, well dressed, clean and fair. You can tell she's well off just by looking at her."

"That's good. The only thing I don't regret is that I was sincere to her all these years and never beat or scolded her. What I regret most is bringing her home. Otherwise, she would definitely be a better person than she is now."

"If we hadn't brought her back then, maybe we should have adopted another abandoned baby, and then there wouldn't be so many problems."

"So this is all our fault, Zhigang. Let's do more good deeds in the future and accumulate some virtue for this child."

"Well, I'm scared too. I'm afraid that God will take revenge on me again."

Both of them truly repented in their hearts.

After Lin Xiaoxia and the others had dinner, the three of them separated.

Lin Rui returned to the hospital, Sun Qiang returned to the hotel, and Lin Xiaoxia returned to her parents' home.

In order to prevent her sister-in-law from thinking too much, she also took a piece of marinated marbled beef from the store and fried it as a dish in the evening.

When Lin Mei saw Lin Xiaoxia come back, she said she wanted to ask her a question. She went into the room, closed the door, and asked Lin Xiaoxia in a low voice how she solved it.

Lin Xiaoxia told her sister what had happened and told her not to worry about it. If Qin Zhigang looked for her again in the future, she should ignore him and let him look for her instead.

Lin Mei felt relieved after hearing this, because she was also a kind-hearted person and hoped that the child would be rescued.

In the afternoon, Lin Xiaoxia told Lin Miao about some things in the store and Lin Rui's business. This made Lin Miao know more about his niece and admire the little girl's abilities even more.

At night, Lin Xiaoxia and Lin Mei lived in the same room. The two sisters lay on the same bed, and Lin Mei tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Lin Xiaoxia noticed that her sister was worried and asked her, "Are you worried about the Qin family?"

Lin Mei said, "Well, sister, do you think that child can be cured?"

"It can be cured, don't worry, my second brother has already asked the attending doctor, and we have paid for the surgery. It will be fine."

"Sister, I actually, I don't know how to say it."

"You want to talk about the Qin couple?"

"Well, sister, they treated me very well. Although they were cruel, I didn't suffer any hardship when I was in the Qin family. But they kidnapped me, which was wrong in every way. It was even a crime, so I can't forgive their mistakes. I feel very conflicted."

Lin Xiaoxia listened to Lin Mei's words and placed her hand on her sister's arm. "You are a kind child, but their mistakes are truly unforgivable, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden. It's best for everyone to return to their original positions now."

"Yes, sister, I know, I understand everything, but sometimes I feel confused."

"I understand what's going on in your mind. If there's anything you can't figure out, just tell me. Don't keep it in your heart."

"Sister, it's great to have you. I have a lot to say, and I can only tell you."

"You should study hard now. With more knowledge and social experience, your understanding of many things will be different."
