Chapter 687: Trading Life for Money
When Bai Shuang learned that Wen Jin was thrown into the back hills full of wild dogs by her mother-in-law, she felt her vision go dark and she fell to the ground powerlessly.
At this moment, Bai Shuang felt as if the sky had fallen.
How could this happen?!
At this moment she didn't care to be angry with anyone, she could only rush out of the door wiping away her tears, and went up the mountain to look for him without any delay.
no.
Still no.
No matter how many times she searched, even after searching the entire back hill thoroughly, she still couldn't find her daughter.
…
When Wen Jin woke up, it was already dark and he had no idea how much time had passed.
She opened her eyes. This was not the familiar storage room.
Instead, it was a clean and tidy Taoist temple, and the room was filled with a pleasant, faint fragrance that she couldn't describe.
It makes people feel peaceful when they smell it.
The groggy and light-headed feeling I had before disappeared, and instead my body felt an unprecedented lightness.
"Oh, this girl finally woke up."
A woman in red clothes stood beside the bed, her eyes fixed on Wen Jin.
Wen Jin was stunned and looked at the person in front of her in confusion. The other person was very beautiful, more beautiful than anyone she had ever seen.
But Wen Jin was very sure that he didn’t know the other person.
"Who... who are you?"
The woman in red glanced at Wen Jin and didn't answer her, but just exclaimed in amazement.
"I never thought you were so lucky. You were surrounded by so many dirty things, lost your soul, and were thrown into a place full of wild dogs. You were lucky to meet me."
"I helped you solve the problems that were bothering you and helped you find your soul. Otherwise, you would have been eaten by wild dogs."
Wen Jin stared blankly with his eyes wide open.
I don't know how to respond to a woman's words.
After a long while, she stammered, "Sister, did you just say that you saved me?"
"Where am I now?"
"I want to find my mother and my sister..."
When she was a child, Wen Jin was not as evil as she is now. Before she suffered a great change, she was polite and sensible, which made people feel sorry for her.
The woman shook her head and looked at Wen Jin as if she was looking at a fool.
"You were thrown to the back hill, which proves that no one in your family cares about your life or death. In this case, why do you care about them?"
"I advise you to take care of yourself."
As the old saying goes, everyone should clean up the snow in front of their own door and not worry about the frost on other people's roofs.
This girl is destined to live alone forever.
Fortunately, I met myself and escaped the disaster, otherwise I would have been eaten by a dog at the age of 5.
Wen Jin was at a loss as these words were too obscure and difficult to understand for his younger self.
She just stared blankly at the woman in front of her and asked in a low voice: "Can't I go see my mother and sister? I miss them so much."
"I just wanted to see my mom and sister being bullied, and I wanted to protect them."
She really wants to grow up quickly.
Grow up quickly so you can make money. Lots of money.
This way, you won’t be scolded by your grandparents as a money-loser who only brings trouble to the family just because you eat one or two more mouthfuls of rice.
This way, mom and sister won't be beaten or scolded as well.
She wiped her tears. She didn't know how she got here, but her only thought now was to go home as soon as possible to see her mother and her sister.
Because she always had a bad feeling in her heart.
She always felt that something might have happened to her sister and her mother.
A 5-year-old child couldn't hide her thoughts, and the woman in red knew what she was thinking just by looking at her.
She took a look at Wen Jin's face, her expression suddenly changed, then she counted on her fingers and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, the woman's eyes were instantly filled with pity when she looked at Wen Jin.
"I'm afraid there's no point in you going back."
Wen Jin looked at her blankly, his eyes full of confusion. She didn't quite understand what the other person was saying, but she subconsciously wanted to avoid the question because his words made her feel uncomfortable.
"I...I...I don't understand what you are saying. I just want to go back to see my mother. If I don't go home, my mother and sister will be worried."
The woman shook her head, thinking that this child would not cry until he saw the coffin.
But on second thought, isn't this the case for all kids this age?
"Okay, then you can go and have a look."
Maybe if she saw it with her own eyes, she would be able to accept the reality.
The woman reached out and picked up Wen Jin.
Wen Jin was wearing her newly made clothes. The fabric was soft and very beautiful.
Wen Jin looked down at the clothes she was wearing and was a little surprised. They were embroidered with blue flowers that she had never seen before. They were very beautiful.
She has never worn such a beautiful dress before.
She just didn't know why, the look in the eyes of the beautiful sister in front of her made her feel an unprecedented panic.
It felt like something was really about to be lost from my life.
At that time, Wen Jin never imagined that after returning to the village, what she would see were the bodies of her sister and mother.
A man in a black Tang suit showed a guilty expression to Wen Jin's father and grandmother.
"I'm so sorry. Logically, our medical team should be responsible for treating you."
"It's just that surgery has some risks. No one expected that they would be the 10%. The success of the surgery is closely related to the pregnancy period and the individual's physical condition."
"But I'm not saying this to excuse anyone."
"I definitely don't mean to shirk my responsibility."
He took out a bag containing hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash.
"This is the compensation that I and our medical team will give to your family. We are truly sorry. We also know that no matter how much money we give, we can't bring your family back."
"But this is all we can do for you right now."
The two people died in this way.
However, whether it was Wen Jin's father or Wen Jin's grandmother, both of them were smiling like flowers, without a trace of sadness in their eyes.
At that moment, Wen Jin only felt that the dark folds on their faces seemed to be filled with flies and emitting the foul odor of rats.
"Alas, there is no such thing as a completely successful surgery. Besides, they are both usually not very motivated and have poor health. It's not your fault."
"We'll take the money, and don't be too hard on yourselves."
"Alas, in the final analysis, it is because my daughter-in-law and my granddaughter are unlucky."
She wiped her tears and said, "I have a little granddaughter. You don't know. She was also sick at first, but she was taken away by a wild dog before you came."
"If that girl had a little more luck, she might have been able to survive until you guys came."
If she had known there were such a group of great philanthropists, she would not have thrown Wen Jin to the back hill to fend for herself so quickly.
