Ziyi wanted Qin Yuhuan to survive and not leave alone and quietly in this winter.
Even if her acting skills will continue to be poor, even if she will never become a great movie queen.
Qin Yuhuan...such a tough person shouldn't leave like this.
"In the past, I always thought my mother loved me very much, even though I had a younger brother and adopted a younger sister. Until I was at home looking for all my savings, I found the insurance policies she bought for my brother. There were three policies, two of which had already been paid for, and the one had an annual premium of more than 20,000 yuan, which would take 15 years to pay off."
The premium for a pension insurance policy alone is more than 300,000 yuan.
"The adopted child's tuition is 15,000 yuan a year. He also has to take interest classes and take various exams. Snacks alone cost over 300 yuan a week, not counting the endless clothes and shoes he wears."
“I know I shouldn’t have this kind of comparison, but…when something happened at home, I was the only one who stood up.
My younger brother is only one year younger than me. I asked him to forward the Shuidichou campaign to see if there were any classmates or friends there, but he refused, telling me he had no friends and that he had bought his way into a junior college through connections, spending a lot of money.
In comparison, Qin Yuhuan became the person who got the least in this family, but as a result, the one who got the least had to pay the most.
"He hasn't been working since he graduated from college. He just stays at home, never leaving his room, not even..."
Qin Yuhuan seemed to be struggling immensely. After a long moment, she continued, "Even going to the bathroom was done right in the room. My mom used to call me to talk about his future. I told her to deliver food, but she didn't want to let him go."
“My mother did so much for him, but when the accident happened, the first thing he did was to transfer all the money on WeChat from my mother’s phone to himself.
He spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on medical expenses, but he thought that only 800 yuan on nutrition expenses was enough. I wanted to cancel his insurance policy and cash out some of the money, but he hid the policy.
He has no ability to take care of himself, and neither does my dad. Ziyi, I want my mom to survive, but I… I can't afford four people like this. I can't pay for my sister's tuition, I can't pay for my brother's insurance policy, and I don't want to pay. I just want to take care of my mom."
When I looked up and met Ziyi's gaze again, tears began to fall.
Qin Yuhuan seemed to want to make sure that there was no sympathy or disgust in Ziyi's eyes. She wiped her tears and didn't speak for a long time.
Until Ziyi recovered from Qin Yuhuan's words, she rubbed her head with heartache, "I know, our little Qin has done a great job."
"If I go out to work, my mother will have no one to take care of her at home. If I don't work, my family will only get poorer and poorer and we won't be able to afford medical treatment. If I stay in Licheng, you can imagine where I'll end up. Ziyi, I also want to have my own life."
"All the responsibilities seemed to fall on my shoulders overnight. I wanted to scrape together more money. My family's savings were borrowed by my mother's family, two uncles, a few aunts, and my grandfather. I thought they would pay back some money because my mother was dying, but they refused.
They didn't even want to come over to take a look, just because my mom wanted Nianzhi's child support. They thought my mom was extorting money. I called them every day and was scolded every day.
Qin Yuhuan even cried silently. She was too tired in the past few years, and Ziyi was the only one who listened to her.
"I don't want to give up either, Ziyi, but apart from me and my dad, no one wants to continue. My dad doesn't want to give up, but there's nothing he can do.
Later, my mother's condition stabilized. The company kept pressing for help, and the medical expenses were tight, so I had no choice but to return to Jincheng to take on work. I once worked non-stop for two days without calling home. By the time I found out, my mother had already given up on treatment and was sent back to her hometown in Changping County by my father and uncle. She was on her last breath.
"I only had time to see her one last time."
Ziyi could probably guess what happened next from what Qin Yuhuan had revealed in the past. After her mother passed away, the family planned to settle down in their hometown in Changping County. The adopted sister didn't want to stay in another place, so she ran to the police station to find her biological parents.
"So, is your uncle in Changping County with your brother now?"
"Only my dad," Qin Yuhuan shook his head, his eyes were red, and even his snow-white cheeks were flushed after crying.
"My brother is missing. He's been missing for two years. I called the police, but no one could find him. My dad saw a public housing unit in Changping County. He could buy it for 40,000 yuan, so I bought it for him and gave him some money to renovate it. Now... he's doing pretty well."
"Wipe your tears." Ziyi sat down next to Qin Yuhuan, holding a tissue. "I know someone. Do you want me to help find them?"
"No, he wanted to go out on his own. My father, my relatives, and I all told him not to be let out. If we let him out, he wouldn't come back. They didn't believe us."
Qin Yuhuan wiped her tears with a tissue. "I can't take care of him, Ziyi. I don't have the ability to care about him. I've done everything I should do and everything I can do to persuade him. Over the past few years, I've been stuck in this matter."
"I don't know if it's right for me to take this job. Maybe if I stay, she won't... won't leave."
"I love my mother. She's a very good and kind person, but I also blame her. If she hadn't been taking the family money back to her parents' house all these years, our family wouldn't have reached this point. My father graduated from a technical secondary school and he knew how to keep accounts. One year, we had an argument and my mother burned the account book. We haven't been able to get a single cent of that money back.
I also blame my father. He regrets it now, but he never helped my mother with any housework. He even went out to eat noodles for breakfast every day and never thought of bringing a bowl for the family. He would rather die than divorce my mother because he knew that no one would take care of him after the divorce. But when he was a child, he wanted to kill my mother with a knife.
