Chapter 721: Getting Worse
The woman swallowed a bowl of plain noodles without any seasoning or even salt.
In about half a minute, she finished all the noodles that Chen Shu brought.
The woman licked her lips carefully, as if she was still reluctant to leave.
Chen Shu clapped his hands and stood up, looking at the queue of young people still waiting to enter the nightclub in the distance, and the Internet celebrities waving their claws on the road, and had an idea in his mind.
He pointed to the crowded nightclub and said calmly: "You crawl from here, holding the child on your knees to the door of the bar over there, and then crawl back on your knees, and I will give you 20,000."
20,000?
Just crawl back and forth like this?
The woman was afraid that she had heard it wrong, and asked with wide eyes: "Brother, are you kidding?"
Chen Shu shook his head: "No, I'm serious."
The woman thought this was too ridiculous. Let alone 20,000, crawling back and forth like this could save some medical money for the child. Let alone 20,000, even 2,000, she would be willing.
But in the end, she chose not to believe it and shook her head, saying, "Hey, brother, you should go home early. Well, thank you for the noodles."
Chen Shu squatted down, looked into the woman's eyes, and said, "If you succeed, you can get 20,000 yuan for the child's medical treatment. Of course, maybe I will run away when you crawl away. Who knows?"
The woman hesitated for a long time and asked, "Brother, are you really going to give me 20,000 yuan?"
Chen Shu imagined in his mind the arrogant look of Chen Chuan, the rich second generation, showing off his ex-ex-girlfriend in front of his brothers, and imitated him: "In your eyes, this is a lot of money, but in my eyes, it's just buying a bag for my girlfriend."
After a pause, seeing the woman who was obviously moved, Chen Shu pretended to be sarcastic and said, "But for the sake of the child, do you think you have any choice?"
After waiting for a few seconds, Chen Shu squinted his eyes and said coldly, "So your so-called willingness to do anything for the child is just to deceive us to get some money for food? Or is the child just a tool for you to deceive people's kindness?"
The woman shook her head violently, then hugged the child in her arms, hesitated for a long time, and nodded with gritted teeth.
Chen Shu stood up and looked at the colorful world in the distance again.
After a long time, he said expressionlessly, "Climb."
So, on a cold night, on the streets of the beautiful city known as the Spring City, young citizens saw a heartbreaking scene.
A woman in old clothes, holding her child in her arms, knelt on the cold street and crawled forward on her knees with difficulty on the side of the road.
First, some passers-by looked sideways, and then the young people waiting in line at the door of the nightclub came over. Even those Internet celebrities who had never cared about anything turned their mobile phone cameras and pointed them at the woman.
The woman's face was full of fatigue and helplessness. Her legs were like machines, one after another, kneeling and dragging on the hard and piercing bricks.
At some point, the sleeping child woke up, opened his eyes and saw a crowd of people standing around. He was frightened and hugged his mother's neck tightly, with fear written all over his red face.
The woman stopped kneeling and knelt to comfort her child.
She gently stroked the child's hair and comforted him in the softest voice possible: "Baby, don't be afraid, mom is here, mom will protect you."
In order to distract the child's attention, the woman began to sing a nursery rhyme.
Her singing was clear and beautiful. On this cold night, it was like a warm breeze blowing into the hearts of everyone present.
When someone took the initiative to talk to the woman and asked why she was kneeling, the people around her were suddenly in an uproar. Some strongly condemned her for being rich and unkind, some angrily scolded her for being mentally ill, and some sneered at her for being hypocritical.
On the contrary, the woman kneeling on the ground did not feel angry like the passers-by. Even though the 20,000 yuan promised by the man was still a drop in the bucket for her daughter's medical expenses, it at least gave her a glimmer of hope.
The woman explained to everyone the man's dilemma. After all, not everyone in this society is kind-hearted, and those "disabled beggars" in the early years overdrew most of the goodwill in society.
At this moment, even if the woman knelt in front of everyone and vowed to give everything she had to exchange for the health of her child, who would believe her if she was just talking big? Who would be willing to take out the money they had worked hard to earn?
There are so many people in the world who need to be saved, why should they help her?
At least, the man is willing to do so.
This is the only life-saving straw for the seriously ill child in her arms.
The woman turned her head slightly and looked at the upright figure standing in the shadow at the corner of the street.
With the help of the onlookers, more and more people rushed to the scene.
For a while, the news of "kneeling all the way just to ask for medical expenses" and "the second-generation rich pretended to be kind and righteous and deceived the poor woman to suffer" spread rapidly on the land of Kunming like wings, and countless citizens gathered around the woman with sympathy.
Some older women tried to help hold the girl so that the woman could kneel more easily, but she shook her head slowly and firmly refused.
The woman was dressed like a ragged peasant woman, and she was holding her daughter who was wrapped tightly in her arms.
She knelt devoutly on the busy road, her knees rubbing on the cold ground, not caring about the eyes of others.
The journey of several hundred meters may seem short, but it is an extremely difficult distance for the woman holding her daughter.
After halfway through the journey, her arms bearing the weight of her daughter were sore that she had to stop and bend down to rest every few meters.
Every time the woman knelt down, she struggled. As she went further, even ordinary breathing became difficult.
Some young people standing nearby shouted that they must send someone to stare at the man who proposed this vicious plan to prevent him from escaping.
There were also a few children holding lollipops that their parents had just bought, and they came close to the woman and stuffed the snacks into the girl in her arms.
The Internet celebrities at the scene began to broadcast the scene of the woman holding the child on her knees with their mobile phones through their live broadcast rooms. This scene also caused a wave of heat on the Internet. Netizens were all distressed, and some keyboard warriors pointed their swords at the initiator.
The heat of the incident was completely hyped up, and fierce negative comments prevailed.
"Building your own happiness on the suffering of others is not a human being!"
"A few filthy riches are so great? Let him see the power of the Internet!"
"Yes! As long as that poor woman posts the donation link, she will slap that beast in the face in minutes!"
"What are you guys in a hurry for! Wait until he pays 20,000 first!"
"20,000? Not a cent! I bet he will run away soon!"
"Run? Break his dog legs!"
"I'm nearby, I'll take people over to keep an eye on that dog thing!"
"."
Cold and cough, the condition is a bit serious, but fortunately there is no white lung. The new crown has recurred recently, everyone should pay attention to safety.
