Chapter 170: The Compassionate Female Ghost Seeks Justice 3_1
Old Tang’s heart was now also filled with helplessness and worry.
But when he saw his old wife’s anxious appearance, he couldn’t bear to add to her burden. He could only comfort her by saying, "Amin, don’t worry. I’m trying to negotiate with the government. Maybe the day after tomorrow, the government will agree to allocate funds or send someone to take over the orphanage."
He had already thought that if push came to shove, he would just have to swallow his pride and borrow some money from relatives to tide over the current difficulties; then he would find a job to earn more money. He could sustain them one more day at a time—he couldn’t just watch these children starve to death, could he?
Guan Min knew that her husband was trying to comfort her and she didn’t want to say anything more to discourage him.
When she thought of her poor daughter, Guan Min couldn’t control the sadness and sorrow in her heart, and the tears started to pour out of her eyes again.
Seeing that his wife was crying again, Tang Haiquan sighed softly, stepped forward to wrap his arms around her shoulders and tenderly wiped the tears from her face, "Amin, stop crying! Our daughter did well, and we should be proud of her. She accumulated so much merit in this life; she’s bound to have a good next life."
Upon hearing this, Guan Min cried even harder, unable to speak...
After a while, with tears in her eyes and a mix of reluctance and confusion, she asked her husband, "Tell me, why don’t good people get good returns in this world? If I had known this day would come, that being good would cost even our lives, I would never have supported our daughter in taking over this orphanage, even if it killed me..."
Tang Haiquan said helplessly, "It’s too late for that now! Don’t think about it any more; the more you think, the sadder you’ll get. If our daughter saw you like this, even if she has passed away, she wouldn’t be at peace."
The more he comforted, the more Guan Min’s tears flowed, beyond stopping.
