312 You are Free (2/2)
If she didn't go back to work, what would happen to her daughter?
She was going for her surgery soon.
”I'm sorry, Shen Wei. Can you give me a second chance? I really need this job. My daughter is going for her surgery so we need the money,” she said in a rush, pleading in a painful voice.
However, there was a man standing behind her. Gao Yi placed both his hands on her shoulders. ”I told you. I'm here for you. All you have to do is wait for Rainy to be healthy.” Gao Yi was upset. This woman had actually forgotten what he had said to her. However, his heart also went out to her. She had been alone for far too long, and she had become accustomed to dealing with everything on her own.
Xia Ruoxin was slightly stunned, and she instinctively went closer to the man behind her. She could no longer control her tears, and they flowed down her face.
”Ha…” Shen Wei chose this moment to laugh which was weird timing. One woman was crying while the other had laughed.
She took out an envelope which she had kept on her and put it in front of Xia Ruoxin. ”You are free. Isn't it better? Have you forgotten once a person had entered that place, it would be difficult for them to come out of it?
”You don't have to worry about the rest. This is for you. It is enough to save your daughter.”
Shen Wei bent down and placed the envelope in Rainy's small hands. Rainy stared curiously at this beautiful auntie with her little hands around the huge envelope. At her tender age, she had no idea that it contained a large sum of money. She could only felt the weight of it, and it felt heavy. It took some effort for her to hold onto it.
”Auntie, Mommy said not to take anything that belongs to others.” Her little hands shoved the envelope hard back at Shen Wei. This was Xia Ruoxin's way of raising her child even though they were poor.
”Such an obedient child.” Shen Wei pressed her little hands down. ”I am not giving this to you. It is a loan. You have to pay me back when you grow up.” She touched Rainy's extremely adorable cheek. She, too, was very fond of Rainy.
”Shen Wei, this is too…” Xia Ruoxin was too shocked, and suddenly, she could not react.
Why was she helping her like this? They were mere acquaintances.
”I like your daughter. Can I carry her?” Shen Wei asked Xia Ruoxin. There was a look of expectation in as well as a dull sadness in her eyes.
”Rainy, let Auntie carry you. She is a good person.” Xia Ruoxin smiled as she told her daughter, and Rainy understood what she meant.
However, Shen Wei's smile was bitter. There was no one left in this world who would have said she was a nice person. Xia Ruoxin was the only one to say that. She was truly a silly woman.
”Okay.” Rainy nodded her head. She gave the envelope to Xia Ruoxin, and then she opened her elbows wide for Shen Wei.
Shen Wei took the child over from Xia Ruoxin's arms and carried the little girl carefully. Rainy was an adorable child, but she was severely underweight.
”Is your name Rainy? What a nice name,” she asked as she looked at the child in her arms. That was what Xia Ruoxin called her.
