Chapter 1058 The Real and Fake Aunt of the Daughter (19)
"Hongmei is still a child. She speaks her mind and says inappropriate things. I apologize to you on her behalf. It's all because of me, as a mother, that I failed to teach her well. It's normal for you to be angry. Now, I beg you to be kind enough to help us, considering how miserable our situation is..." Liu Yaomei looked at the family members in the ward helplessly and pitifully with tears in her eyes.
"Huh, is she still young? She's almost an adult, right? No matter how outspoken she is, she would never say such an insulting word as 'untouchable'. I don't know where her sense of superiority comes from. Sister, although we sympathize with you being abused by your husband, we are not so mean as to repay evil with kindness and donate money to those who scold us!" said one of the younger uncles with a cold face.
"Hongmei was wrong. She was talking nonsense because her brain was hurt. Please have pity on us, mother and daughter. We really have no other way..." Liu Yaomei seemed not to understand what the uncle said. She just kept saying that she was pitiful and needed help. The way she begged for donations was like a beggar begging for money on the street.
She did look like a beggar, but ordinary beggars beg for money on the streets, while she used the image of a poor and weak person who was abused at home to beg for money from other patients and their families in the hospital ward. She was very skilled in using all kinds of moral kidnapping and sympathy-seeking rhetoric. She had used this method several times, and each time it was very successful.
In the past, Zhang Lei beat her and Zhang Hongmei severely. When they were sent to the hospital, they had no money to pay for the medical expenses, so she did this. However, at that time, the mother and daughter were poor weaklings who were beaten, and they did not expose moral shortcomings like this time. They were beaten black and blue, and they knelt on the ground and begged for help. They successfully won sympathy from others, so you donate some, I donate some, and the medical expenses were actually donated to them.
Liu Yaomei tasted the sweetness and had several successful experiences, so this time she used the same trick again, hoping to get the patients' families to help them solve the problem of medical expenses.
Unfortunately, this time the mother and daughter accidentally revealed their true identities, making it clear to everyone that their character was not worthy of repaying evil with kindness, so Liu Yaomei's plan fell through. The patient's family members were not stupid, and not only did they not donate money to her, but they ridiculed her instead.
"Liu Yaomei, don't beg them! These lowly people don't even have that much money themselves, how could they be willing to donate to us? They are all paupers." Zhang Hongmei said sarcastically. Guided by the memory of the fake daughter, Zhang Hongmei at this moment did not realize how serious their lack of money was.
But Liu Yaomei knew, and she couldn't help but retort to Zhang Hongmei: "Hongmei, Mom has no money, and she can't pay the medical expenses without asking kind people for help. Don't be stubborn, apologize to everyone quickly, and say that you know you are wrong, hurry up and say it..."
"Haha, you want to take advantage of us, but you still look down on us. That's incredible, so weird!" The uncle sighed, then left the ward without looking back. "I don't have the patience to watch you guys act like you're begging for money. There really are so many weird things in this world..."
Seeing this, the other patients' families also made excuses that they had something to do and left, no longer paying any attention to Liu Yaomei.
So this time, Liu Yaomei had an accident and had to collect money herself to pay for the medical expenses.
"I don't want to be here anymore. I want to be discharged from the hospital. Please go and complete the procedures for me." Zhang Hongmei asked Liu Yaomei confidently.
Liu Yaomei frowned: "But we don't have any money..."
"If you don't have money, then find a way! Do you want me, an underage person, to solve it? You're such a coward!" Zhang Hongmei said viciously while staring at Liu Yaomei.
Liu Yaomei was frightened by her cold eyes and hurriedly left the ward to raise money. Fortunately, Zhang Hongmei only had to treat her head injury in the hospital and stayed in the hospital for one day, so the medical expenses were not much. Liu Yaomei finally borrowed a few hundred yuan from her colleague who washed dishes in the restaurant, and then paid the medical expenses. She successfully took Zhang Hongmei out of the hospital and went home.
When Zhang Hongmei returned to the small, dark "home" in the urban village, she could not believe her eyes. Relying mainly on the memories and personality of the fake daughter, Zhang Hongmei did not have the memories of this life in her head at all. Therefore, after experiencing the "slum" life firsthand for a while, she immediately could not bear it.
She collapsed and yelled, "What kind of house is this? Even the public toilets are brighter and cleaner than this! Is this a place to live? It's like a garbage dump..."
Because the house is too small and there are many scattered things in the house, sometimes Liu Yaomei would pick up some bottles and cardboard outside to supplement the family income, and then save them to sell for money. The smell is not so good when they are piled up, and doesn't it look like a garbage dump?
It would be strange if she didn't collapse when her mind was filled with memories of Zhang Hongmei who lived a life of luxury in her previous life. Even though she had received the memories of Zhang Hongmei in this life, she didn't have deep memories of those things before she actually stepped into this place. Now that she really faced the reality, she collapsed.
"Hongmei, what's wrong with you? We have always lived here." Liu Yaomei asked her daughter timidly.
"Shut up! I don't want to live here, I want my parents... woooo... I want to go home..." Zhang Hongmei couldn't help crying. She rushed out of the house while crying, and ran outside, wanting to return to the Sheng family.
Liu Yaomei quickly ran after her, shouting anxiously: "This is our home, where are you going?"
"This is not my home! My home is the Sheng family of Hejiayuan!" Zhang Hongmei retorted angrily. She no longer considered the fact that she had no connection with the Sheng family in her life and only wanted to return to the Sheng family.
Unfortunately, although she remembered the address of the Sheng family, the place where she was now was too far away from the Sheng family, two cities away. When she was just born, the Zhang family was in Beijing like the Sheng family, but later Zhang Lei lost all his family property in gambling, and the only house was sold. So their family had to move to a place next to Beijing where the rent was cheaper.
Therefore, even if Zhang Hongmei wanted to go to Sheng's house, she couldn't go because she had no money to take a taxi.
She had no choice but to squat on the side of the road and cry. Liu Yaomei finally caught up with her, but she was at a loss what to do when seeing her crying daughter. She didn't know why her daughter seemed so sad and didn't know how to comfort her.
"It's all your fault!" After seeing her, Zhang Hongmei's resentment revived and she began to vent her anger on Liu Yaomei.
Liu Yaomei just thought that her daughter's brain was damaged, so even if Zhang Hongmei scolded her, she just endured it, and finally persuaded her to go home in a gentle tone.
Zhang Hongmei didn't want to go back to that garbage-like home at all, but she had nowhere else to go, so she had to endure all the discomfort and return to the Zhang family. However, in her heart, her obsession with returning to the Sheng family became stronger.
