Li Lian staggered back. Her body was on the verge of collapsing. This amount of money was an astronomical figure in her eyes.
Shuxin saw that Li Lian was about to fall and hurriedly leaned over to pull her up. Li Lian held onto the railing of the family bed next to her and sat down on the edge of the bed. Then, tears flowed down her face. "I didn't know … It would be so serious … Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to do this …"
Shuxin could tell from Li Lian's expression that she wasn't acting. She really didn't know that the matter would be so serious. After thinking about it, Li Lian was an ordinary person. How could she know about business matters? However, this couldn't be the reason for her to do something wrong.
However, after listening to Li Lian's words, Shuxin's anger subsided a lot. At least, Li Lian hadn't completely lost her conscience.
Li Lian continued to sob. "I just wanted to use the money to treat Hao Hao's illness … I wanted my son to go to school like a normal child …"
Shuxin's anger subsided a lot when she heard this. From the stampede incident, Shuxin could tell that Li Lian loved Hao Hao very much. "I can understand that you want to make money to treat Hao Hao's illness, but you shouldn't have used this method."
Li Lian's tear-stained face was full of helplessness. "I made this decision because I had no other choice. My husband used to be a construction worker. When I was seven months pregnant with Hao Hao, my husband had an accident at the construction site.
The sliding line broke and a truck of mud fell on my husband. His spine was broken and one of his legs was disabled. The boss only paid for the medical expenses of sending him to the operating room at that time. He didn't care about the subsequent treatment and placement at all.
I went to the company to look for the boss several times. At first, the boss perfunctorily said that the project wasn't finished and that he hadn't received the money. Later, he didn't even want to see me. He even told the guards not to let me in.
Later, I heard that this kind of thing could be sued, so I spent money to hire a lawyer. However, the boss was very powerful. How could I, an ordinary person, be his opponent? She didn't manage to sue him, and she didn't get any money either. Instead, she lost all the money she had left at home.
"My husband needed money for his treatment, so I had no choice but to look for a job while I was pregnant. I wasn't educated, and I was pregnant, so no one was willing to work for me. Later, the lady boss of a small restaurant took pity on me and agreed to let me wash the dishes for her. However, I accidentally slipped and fell, causing the child to be born prematurely.
At that time, I was penniless. The money for the birth was paid for by the lady boss of that restaurant. After the child was born, it became a problem to feed him … "
When Li Lian said this, she thought of the hard times in the past and sobbed. Her relatives and friends distanced themselves from her because of her family situation. She didn't even have a place to borrow money. At that time, she even thought of suicide. Death would be the end of everything, but she couldn't bear to leave her husband and son behind. She could only grit her teeth and endure.
Shuxin could almost imagine how difficult Li Lian's life was at that time. Her paralyzed husband, a crying child, and herself, who had just given birth to a penniless woman … Shuxin's resentment towards Li Lian disappeared at that moment.
Shuxin leaned over and handed a few pieces of paper to Li Lian. "It's all in the past."
Li Lian trembled as she took the paper from Shuxin. Her teary eyes were full of gratitude. She didn't expect Shuxin to comfort her. Miss Mu was right. Mrs. Huo was really a good person.
