Chapter 4 Should Accept Our Fate

At this moment, her cell phone rang, and after answering, it was the grandmother in the country calling her at the public telephone booth.

"You ... what did you say?"

Cana felt her head had exploded; she hadn't expected her father to have sold the house. Only 50,000 dollars was left for grandma, but this morning her sister Ada just took away the remaining 50,000 dollars as well.

Cana didn't want to say anything, she should have thought of it, didn't she?

Three months ago, when her mother went to the hospital for a check, it was already uremic. The doctor said that she could only dialyze or change her kidney. The relationship between the father and the mother had always been bad. The mother disliked the father, who only cared about playing outside and never cared about the family; the father disliked the mother that she was not amorous, could not play cards, and could not please men.

Later, after her mother became ill, her father's wages from odd jobs were still spent playing cards for fun, and she didn't expect him to do anything else for her mother.

A week ago, her father suddenly said he wanted to sell the house to treat her mother. At that time, Cana was touched for a long time. She didn't expect her father to be a sensible man at the critical moment.

But now, she realized how naive she had been, and if she had guessed correctly, her father had swept away the money from selling the house.

Grandma said just now that Ada took away the remaining 50,000 dollars. Would she go to the hospital to pay her mother`s hospitalization fee?

With such a thought, Cana felt that things might not have been as bad as expected.

But on the way to the hospital, Cana received a reminder notice from the hospital inpatient department, urging her to pay the hospitalization fee.

All of sudden, her heart seemed to have fallen into the ice cellar.

She called Ada a dozen times, but she didn't answer at all. Cana had to go to the roadside and use a public telephone.

Sure enough, it wasn't Cana's number, Ada answered the phone. When she heard Cana's voice, she was flustered.

Cana asked directly, "Ada, where are you?"

"I'm looking for a job." Ada desperately concealed her guilty conscience, and said, "I'm not like you. You studied well and was admitted to a prestigious university. Since I can't go to college, wouldn't I be allowed to find a job to support myself alone?"

Listening to Ada talking to her, Cana didn't even bother to say anything reproachful, she just asked, "When did Dad sell the house? And, where is Dad now?"

"How could I possibly know?" Ada said, "You know, Dad is that kind of person that once he is ed, no one is hungry in his family, he must have taken the money from the sale of the house and ran away on his own. Why don't you go and get Dad back instead of calling me?"

When listening that as if it had nothing to do with Ada, she was anxious. She said, "Ada, you know why I called you. Are the 50,000 dollars that Dad left for Grandma kept by you?"

Ada said with a little guilty, "Yes ... Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Mom is lying in the hospital and waiting for help!" Cana cried anxiously. "Now the hospital is urging me to pay the bill, if we don't pay all the treatment fees, they won't dialysis Mom again. I beg you, please hurry up and bring the money back. "

Ada sighed and persuaded, "Sister, I told you a long time ago, our mother's disease is a bottomless hole. Poor people like us, with a disease like this, should accept our fate!"

Cana didn't want to listen to Ada's ridiculous principle, which was avoiding responsibility. She said, "No matter what, you take the money back first and take one step at a time. It's good to let Mom live a day longer and a minute longer."

"Sister, aren't you annoyed!" Ada was extremely impatient. She said, "This money is to make some connections while looking for a job. Now money is needed everywhere. Don't call me again, it's annoying! "

After that, she hung up the phone. When Cana called again, Ada had shut down.
