Hearing Fang Qingfei say so, Li Dong did not pursue the matter.
The two of them went upstairs. Fang Qingfei chatted with Wang Jia's mother for a while. Seeing that she was a little tired, she said, "Auntie, rest first. I'll come back to see you later."
Wang Jia's mother nodded lightly and replied, "If you're busy with work, don't come over. Little Chen can take care of me here."
Fang Qingfei smiled and did not say anything. She gave Sister Chen a few more instructions before leaving the ward.
…
After leaving the hospital, the two of them found an empty chair in the small square opposite the hospital and sat down.
Fang Qingfei looked at the people coming and going in the square and was a little lost in thought.
Li Dong asked, "Since Wang Jia doesn't care, why do you still care?"
Fang Qingfei's eyes suddenly turned red and she choked, "You don't understand! It's not that Jiajia doesn't care. She really has no other way. She has nowhere to go. Do you understand?
"When she left, she knelt in front of me and begged me. You don't know, when she knelt and kowtowed to me, my heart broke.
"She said that I'm her only friend in this life. She only asked me to take care of her mother. If there's really no other way, I'll help her mother with her funeral. Do you think I can just watch her leave like that?"
The more Fang Qingfei spoke, the more pained she became. Tears streamed down her face as she said, "I really have no other way. I borrowed the medical fees from my parents. They're just ordinary workers and don't have much savings. I can't let my parents sell their home for an outsider. I can't do that.
"I looked for Li Qian, but she said that she doesn't have that much money. She also said that she has invested all her money and can't come up with it in a short time. I really have no other way. I really have no other way. So I can only beg you … "
Fang Qingfei sobbed softly for a while. She wiped her tears and continued, "You don't know, I've regretted it during this period of time. I've thought about letting go. I've thought about many things. Every night, I ask myself, she's not your family. Why should you save her?
"But I can't get over this hurdle in my heart. I can't forget when Jiajia knelt down and begged me."
"You don't know how proud Jiajia is, but can you imagine her kowtowing to me?"
As she spoke, Fang Qingfei's tears rolled down her cheeks again. During this period of time, she was physically and mentally exhausted and had endured too much pressure.
The monthly medical and nursing fees of more than ten thousand RMB had almost crushed her.
She was just a counselor who had just graduated a year ago and was still in her internship. She wasn't even a lecturer, and her family background could only be considered ordinary. She didn't have the ability to help others.
She wanted to ignore it, but every time she thought of Wang Jia, she couldn't bring herself to ignore it.
She had to force a smile in front of others. She was really too tired.
Seeing her like this, Li Dong couldn't help but sigh.
After a long time, he said, "Can you tell me about Wang Jia?"
Although he had not interacted with Wang Jia for a long time, Li Dong did not think that Wang Jia was the kind of person who would shirk her responsibilities.
Her mother was seriously ill in bed, but Wang Jia disappeared. This didn't make sense, and there must be something hidden.
Fang Qingfei also said that Wang Jia left because she had nowhere else to go. Before she left, she even said that she really couldn't get Fang Qingfei to help with her mother's funeral. This was too heartless, and it wasn't something a little girl like Wang Jia could do.
Fang Qingfei had also calmed down at this time. She wiped her tears and sighed. "Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you. I feel bad keeping this in my heart."
…
As Fang Qingfei recounted the story, Li Dong felt a little upset.
The Wang family was broken and dead. This was the true portrayal of the Wang family.
The matter was actually very simple. Originally, Wang Jia's father was in the cement business. In the past few years, it had been developing well, and he could be considered to have a small net worth of a million RMB.
However, in the past two years, the Wang family's business had been declining year by year, and Wang Jia's father was a little anxious.
Wang Jia's father was in desperate straits. A Hong Kong businessman suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said that he wanted to invest and build a factory together with Wang Jia's father.
Moreover, the investment was not small. It was an investment of more than ten million RMB. The Hong Kong businessman used some unknown method to fool Wang Jia's father into believing it.
Fang Qingfei wasn't too clear about the specific process, but according to her, the final outcome was that Wang Jia's father invested three million RMB and owned half of the shares of the new factory.
However, the total assets of the Wang family were no more than a million RMB. Wang Jia's father took loans and borrowed money. In the end, he even sold the old factory and borrowed nearly a million RMB from loan sharks. Only then did he have three million RMB.
Next, without Fang Qingfei saying anything, Li Dong had already guessed the result.
Only people of Wang Jia's father's generation would believe such a classic fraud case.
If it really happened in the future, it would probably have been exposed long ago.
As Li Dong expected, the Hong Kong businessman disappeared without a trace after taking the three million RMB.
The old factory was sold, the money was cheated, the house was mortgaged, and he still owed nearly a million RMB from loan sharks …
This kind of despair was not something an ordinary person could bear. Moreover, Wang Jia's father was also old. After being pressured by loan sharks several times, in the end, in despair, Wang Jia's father jumped from the municipal building and bid farewell to this world.
Although he left, it didn't mean that the debt he left behind was gone.
The bank was easy to deal with. After taking the house from Wang Jia's parents, the debt was considered settled.
However, loan sharks wouldn't play games with you. Wang Jia and her mother had no choice but to bear the debt of an astronomical amount.
During that period of time, the loan sharks threatened and threatened Wang Jia. In the end, Wang Jia had no choice but to sell the house under her name to pay off the debt.
Originally, Wang Jia's father was going to leave the house for Wang Jia as a dowry. Unfortunately, Wang Jia had no choice but to sell the house to pay off the debt.
However, even if she sold the house, it would be a drop in the bucket. With the interest compounded, the one million RMB loan was now almost two million RMB.
The money from selling the house was not even enough to pay off the interest. In addition, Wang Jia's mother suddenly fell seriously ill and fell into a coma. When she was sent to the hospital, she was found to be in the final stage of uremia.
This made things worse. How could Wang Jia, the innocent and lively girl in the past, bear such a blow?
In addition, the loan sharks came to the hospital every day to look for the mother and daughter. In the end, Wang Jia came up with a solution that wasn't really a solution. She ran away and thought of a way to earn money to pay off the debt.
As for her mother, she was an old woman who was seriously ill and dying. The loan sharks couldn't really force her to her death.
Then, there was the scene Fang Qingfei mentioned at the beginning. Wang Jia left and entrusted her mother to her before she left.
After saying that, Fang Qingfei said with tears in her eyes, "Don't think that Jiajia is heartless. She really has nowhere to go. She even wants to go to that kind of place, but even if she goes, those loan sharks won't let her go. They won't leave her a single cent. If that happens, Auntie can only wait to die. Jiajia won't be able to survive either. "
At some point, Li Dong lit up a cigarette. His eyes were a little dazed.
Wang Jia's experience reminded him of himself in the past. At that time, his parents were also seriously ill. He had nowhere to go and begged people everywhere.
That feeling of having nowhere to go, that feeling of despair, wasn't something an ordinary person could imagine.
But Wang Jia was even more miserable than him. Not only did her father commit suicide, her mother was seriously ill, and she was also saddled with millions of loan sharks.
Even a grown man like Li Dong couldn't bear such pressure, let alone a little girl like Wang Jia.
Wang Jia was right to leave. Li Dong didn't think that Wang Jia was heartless. Instead, he felt that she was very strong and smart.
If she hadn't left, her mother wouldn't be living so comfortably now.
Only if she ran away, those loan sharks wouldn't harass a seriously ill old woman. They would focus their energy on Wang Jia.
And if Wang Jia didn't run away, those loan sharks wouldn't let her go.
She was a young and beautiful woman. It didn't take a brain to know how those loan sharks would deal with her. Those people wouldn't let Wang Jia go if they didn't squeeze out all of her value.
