Chapter 698 - : The Scammers Daughter! (7) (1/2)
“I had to wash dishes eight to nine hours a day, and a day’s work meant washing over two thousand dishes, rain or shine. And the pay for a dish-washing worker was just 80 a day.”
“Since we lived in Suzhou, people always said, ‘look… those are the scammers’ children!’ We didn’t want to face these things anymore and wanted to leave home, to start afresh. But the train tickets from Suzhou to Beijing were a thousand dollars and we couldn’t afford it! So I took all the money the family had left and headed for Nanjing first. When we didn’t have money for accomodation, we’d sleep under a bridge. When we didn’t have food, we’d look for a temporary job. Because I was underage, the only places that would hire me were the small shops.”
“One time, the boss of a shop told me that if I could wash all the piled up dishes, he’d pay me 500.”
“For the 500 promised, I worked without a break for two days and finished all the work.”
“But in the end, the boss went back on his word and didn’t pay me.”
“But what could I do as an 18 year-old girl? I could only grit my teeth and looked for an hour’s work elsewhere, because my brother had been starving for two days!”
“You said I took your money and have been living the life. Now I’m telling you, it’s not true at all!”
“I have no money! And because I have no money, the treatment for my brother’s legs was delayed and it was only recently that he could finally stand up.”
“And I, right up till now, have only a four-figure sum in my bank account!”
“I know that you have suffered, but what about my brother and I? Aren’t we innocent too?”
“Everyone claims that my parents committed suicide. But if they had really been unethical businessmen, why didn’t they leave the country after moving their funds out? Why did they rather stupidly waited for their deaths in this country?”
“Even if they had moved their assets away, why didn’t I have any money at a critical moment when my brother needed to undergo an operation?”
“They were dead! What was the use of having money?!”
“If my brother and I had money, would we be living this way today?”
“Any of the things I told you can be verified. I’m not afraid of being checked. You can even check my bank account!”
