"...My father’s salary was not high—he could barely support our whole family—but my mother managed the household well, so whenever a big holiday arrived, we could still go to a slightly better restaurant to enjoy a scrumptious al as a family...
"Later in life, after I entered the Fang family and married into the Song family, I had endless money to spend and exquisite als served day in and out...
"But I wasn’t happy. The happiest mont of my life was when my parents were still around...
"Yes, we were poor, but we were happy... Of course, that happiness was sothing rich people like you wouldn’t understand. Money cannot buy happiness, but it sure can buy many things like the butchering of a whole happy family!"
Fang Rou’s tone started to quiver, and she practically hissed the rest of her story. "...The incident happened about twenty years ago. I do wonder if Song nghwa still rembers it after so many years. I believe you won’t; after all, why would you care about an insignificant family like ours?
"It was a wintry night. My little sister suffered from a sudden high fever. Mom and Dad took her to the hospital. That morning, Dad had just purchased a new car worth 70,000 RMB, and we were supposed to go on a trip the day after, but who would have thought that the first trip the car took would be to the hospital?
"It was snowing heavily that night. I stayed ho alone and waited until morning, but my parents and sister hadn’t returned. I didn’t go to school and stayed at ho to wait for them. I was about to faint from hunger when it was almost noon. However, I held on until night fell and the policeman ca, telling to go with him to et my parents and sister...
"I rember how glad I was. I thought my parents were at the hospital, too busy taking care of my sister, so they had asked the policeman to co for . I followed the policeman happily, and yes, he did bring to the hospital, but it was to the morgue."
Fang Rou’s whole fra seed to be radiating hate. Her eyes were brimming with tears. "To this day, I cannot forget that mory. My parents and little sister arranged side by side. They were very quiet with their eyes closed, like they were sleeping. No matter how loud I yelled or how hard I shook them, my cry-baby little sister didn’t cry, my Mom didn’t smile, and my Dad didn’t open his eyes...
"They were dead, all dead... Died in an accident on the way to the hospital, died at the hands of the murderer Song nghwa!"
Fang Rou shuddered with fury. "Yes, it was Song nghwa who was speeding under influence that night, crashing into my parents’ car, causing my whole family to die on the spot!
"But that’s not all he did! The worst is Song nghwa used his money to buy the judges or soone because it was obvious that he was driving under influence, but it beca reckless driving. He also found himself a shaless lawyer to defend himself in court...
"Such a horrible accident, three lives were lost, but what did Song nghwa get as punishnt? Several ten thousand RMB to as compensation‽ I ask you, do you think I want that money? My parents are dead, why would I need your money? Song nghwa was barely affected. His driver’s license didn’t get revoked, and his company only got better, even entering the stock market...
"Why‽ Tell why, even though Song nghwa had killed soone, his life only got better and better?
"What about ? In the orphanage I was bullied, at school, I was mocked, and even my adopted family didn’t like !"
