Chapter 1128:1127 Pitiful Place
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The matter had been exposed. Even if Ah Ju wanted to quibble, she couldn’t. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. “I didn’t want to steal, but I really had no choice!”
Tan Rou frowned. “Stealing is stealing. I gave you a chance to confess, but you didn’t take it. I’m handing you over to the police now. Is there anything else you want to say?”
Ah Ju’s expression was very sad. “Okay, I can go with the police, but I want to see my daughter first!”
“If your daughter knew that you stole something, she would definitely be sad,” Shen Jing said.
Air Ju lowered her head and cried. “I didn’t want to steal either, but my daughter is sick and needs a lot of money. I don’t have any money on me anymore, and my relatives and friends aren’t willing to lend me money. If I don’t find a way to get money, the doctor won’t let my daughter stay in the hospital.”
At this time, a maid who had a good relationship with Ah Ju said, “Air Ju’s daughter is indeed sick. Last month, she borrowed a few thousand yuan from me. She hasn’t returned it until now.”
Aunt Zhou was in charge of the maids in the house. She knew the situation of all the maids ‘families. She also knew about All Ju’s situation. However, All Ju had never mentioned that she needed money.
“All Ju does have a sick daughter.” Aunt Zhou spoke up for Ah Ju. “Her daughter has congenital heart disease. It was diagnosed when she was two years old. After her husband found out that her daughter was sick, he ran away and hasn’t been back for several years.”
All Ju sobbed. “Yes, my daughter’s condition has worsened. The doctor said that she needs surgery immediately. If she doesn’t have surgery, my daughter can only live for three months at most. My father passed away when I was very young, and my mother’s health is not good either. If my daughter is gone, then I don’t have anyone left in this world!”
For a moment, the atmosphere became very silent. They had thought that it was just a theft incident, but they did not expect such a story to follow. Ah Ju’s act of stealing was wrong, but her love for her daughter was real.
“My daughter is only five years old. I don’t want her to die!” All Ju couldn’t hide her tears anymore. She squatted on the ground and cried. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have stolen, but I really had no choice!”
“Hey ” Shen Jing sighed. “We both have children. When my Xiao Liu was in a
wheelchair, I felt the same way as you. If I could steal the medicine to save him at that time, I would have done the same as you.”
“Isn’t the charity banquet now to help the weak? There’s someone in front of us who needs help. Why not?” Zhuang Liu asked.
Zhuang Liu’s words woke Shen Jing up. She walked over and helped Ah Ju up. “Forget it. I won’t pursue this matter anymore. I will also help you with your daughter’s matter.”
Tan Rou also said, “Since Mom won’t pursue the matter, I have nothing to say. Which hospital is your daughter in? How much money do we need now?”
When Ah Ju heard that Tan Rou and the others were going to donate money to her daughter, she was so touched that tears flowed down her cheeks. “Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Madam Zhuang!” At the same time, she felt very guilty.
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!”
Among the items auctioned tonight, only this set of jewelry was the cheapest. Moreover, there were five pieces in a set. The loss of a few pieces would not affect the entire collection which was also why Ah Ju had picked this item to steal.
However, she did not expect that this set of jewelry was made by Tan Rou and Tian Tian together. She also did not expect Madam Zhuang to care so much about this set of jewelry.
In the end, the Tao family and the Zhuang family did not call the police. They each sent a representative to the hospital to visit Air Ju’s daughter. It was indeed as Ah Ju had said, her daughter had to undergo surgery.
When Tan Rou saw the little girl at the hospital, the softest part of her heart was touched. That girl was so thin that it was as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
She thought of herself back then. When she was four years old and locked in a dark room, she was also worried that she would die, but in the end, she stubbornly survived.
This girl was lucky. She had a mother who loved her. Even if her mother did something wrong, she only did it because she had to.
