Zhuang Nainai said hurriedly, “Wait…”
Ding Mengya spoke at a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow on the other end, “What is the matter?”
Zhuang Nainai bit her lips.
She was reminded of what Ding Mengya had said yesterday. $10,000,000…
That sum of money was of utmost urgency to her right now!
However, could she ask for it?
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists repeatedly.
Mother Zhuang’s sickness and Si Zhengting flashed across her mind one by one and her gaze dimmed.
At last, she said firmly, “Nothing.”
After ending the call, her gaze was fixated in front.
Beijing’s smog caused the entire sky to look gloomy. Likewise, she felt rather depressed.
However, at the moment, Zhuang Nainai’s entire body was filled with fighting spirit.
Mother Zhuang’s life was not in danger.
Despite the fact that she could not undergo craniotomy at the moment, it would not be a concern because the blood clot under her skull need not be removed immediately.
She could not give in.
Even if she really had to leave Si Zhengting, she could not take the $300,000.
It would be a form of disrespect towards Si Zhengting and insincerity towards their relationship.
If Mother Zhuang were awake, she would not let her use it too.
Zhuang Nainai heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the hospital that night. She took care of her mother for the entire night. After making sure that she was still asleep, Zhuang Nainai put on her mother’s cleaning uniform and went to work in her place.
Mother Zhuang had taught her that humans should never be defeated by their lives.
No matter what kind of challenges they meet, they should still face them positively.
That was because if you faced life positively, life would become happier for you, but if you faced life negatively, life would become more miserable for you.
They were invincible. They did not have the time and right to be depressed.
The pay for the cleaning job was issued fortnightly and determined by the number of days one had worked for.
Mother Zhuang had worked for more than ten years, and her income was stable. Having worked for such a long time in the company, her standing was considered high.
Upon hearing about Mother Zhuang’s incident, everyone expressed their sympathies. Even the leaders of the company agreed to her working in place of her mother.
Her mother’s pay was $5000 per month. They could save $4000 a month by living frugally. Each year, they would be able to save $50,000. They would have at least accumulated $300,000 worth of savings after six years, wouldn’t they?
When she was sweeping the streets, Zhuang Nainai met the police officer coincidentally.
Upon seeing her, the police officer immediately looked like he had wanted to say something but resisted.
Zhuang Nainai waved to greet him smilingly. “Hello, police uncle!”
The smile on her face seemed so carefree. It was this attitude towards life that moved everyone around her.
The police officer walked over. Patting her shoulder, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, “Kiddo, did your family… offend anyone?”
Zhuang Nainai was bewildered. “Why do you say so?”
While the police officer scanned the surrounding, Zhuang Nainai could sense sharply that he had something to tell her. Hence, she walked towards the side and stopped under a tree, where there was no one nearby. It was only then that the police officer said, “Kiddo, I studied your mother’s accident video recording and I realized that when the accident took place, there seemed to be another person on the car. Moreover, at that time, your mother was standing by the road and talked briefly to the person in the car. After that, she left and it was then when the car behind hit her. But when I questioned the culprit, he actually alleged that he was greeting your mother, but to his surprise, your mother called him a lunatic. He was so angry that he decided to hit her in the heat of the moment.”
As soon as he finished talking, Zhuang Nainai froze. Shivers went down her spine, as if she had just been soaked in the freezing water during the coldest of winter.
