Chapter 488: Making Money_1
After some back and forth, the driver ultimately didn’t refuse Shen Dong’s kindness. It was very simple for others to earn money, and he needed to earn money himself. Perhaps this would at least be fair to his own family. So, he agreed and began to look for the first household while introducing it to them as they walked.
"The master of this household is a bit peculiar," the driver said as he walked. "They’re a bit harsh when they speak. Living in this kind of environment, their hearts become somewhat distorted. It’s their daughter, though, she is incredibly fair and lovely. Not long ago, there was talk of her getting married, but it fell through because her brother got leukemia and became a burden."
At that time, the man’s side of the potential union was unwilling, as the man’s parents had been disparaging the woman’s family. Ultimately, upon hearing of the situation, the man left without caring for the woman. She has been downhearted, not yet truly recovered, always lamenting in her room. But she still loves life dearly, all for the sake of her brother."
The driver, while explaining, felt a twinge of pity for the plight of that girl’s family, but he was powerless to help his own family, let alone someone else’s. In the slums where they lived, leukemia was a lifelong disease with no hope for a cure.
As the driver spoke, they arrived at the place, which was clearly dilapidated, and they could hear a girl’s weeping inside. Yes, the girl was alone in the house at the moment, as her brother required treatment and was not at home.
Kang Yue listened silently to the driver’s story. One couldn’t really blame others. It’s like birds in the same forest flying away when disaster strikes. It was an entirely rational decision. This was easily understood even for couples who were not yet married.
It was just sad for the woman involved. After being together for so long, to be abandoned by another must be incredibly hard to overcome. Her brother had such a serious illness and it was extremely difficult to get him cured; life had not spared her in the slightest.
Kang Yue felt that, at times, she was very lucky herself. But now, without hesitation, because the other party needed money and they needed that woman, that was enough. If she was beautiful, could manage chopsticks, and could drink alcohol, there would be no problem.
Shen Dong thought the same, and knocked on the door, thinking that there were so many people suffering in the world, and he couldn’t lift each one up. He could only take it one step at a time.
Being able to offer this opportunity was like giving them a hand. As long as they were willing to work, they would certainly be able to do it.
The girl inside surely heard the noise and immediately stopped crying, in evident pain. Could she not even cry now?
"Who is it?" the girl asked, her voice tinged with sobs. It would move anyone who heard it. In the presence of a normal man hearing such sobbing could stir compassion, making him want to embrace her.
