Chapter 135: Real Suffocation

In the broken fragments of memory.

Ailin seemed to have personally experienced the man's short but tragic life.

He was born in an ordinary family in Chinatown. His parents were Chinese who smuggled into the Federation.

Although the family was not rich, they lived a decent life thanks to their parents' hard work.

Because he was busy with work and lacked parental discipline, he spent more energy on playing and games during his student years. Of course, he was not particularly inattentive in his studies, but he just couldn't get into a good university like the top students in the class.

After graduating from an ordinary community college, he found a job in a factory in Chinatown with the help of his parents.

Because of his fluent eloquence, he was transferred to the business department of the factory, and happened to meet several big customers and made several big orders.

With a part of his life, he met his love in the factory.

So.

It was natural to get married and have children, and gradually start his own family.

But when he saw that he was about to spend an ordinary but ordinary life like his parents,

But misfortune came quietly.

First, my father went to the supermarket to buy a bottle of beer after get off work and went home to relax. He was hit and killed by a pair of black scum who were high on marijuana and drove a stolen family car on the street less than 200 meters away from their home.

They were a pair of poor black people. In the end, they did not pay compensation or apologize. They were charged with hit-and-run and manslaughter. According to the law, they should have been imprisoned for five years, but because racial conflicts were sharp and black riots were frequent at that time, the jury only sentenced the two to one year in prison and two years of probation based on race and the need to quell social conflicts.

As for the total compensation of 20,000 US dollars for the two, it is clear that the two poor black people could not afford it.

After my father died, my mother was depressed and soon became ill from overwork.

My mother was sick, and as a son, he was of course responsible and spent money on treatment.

Although he did not expect to spend so much, fortunately, he could afford it with his savings from the previous few years.

As long as he works hard for a few years, he will make the money back.

However, what he didn't expect was that at this time, the factory where he worked, which had a good profit, failed to deliver the goods on the agreed date due to the interruption of the supply chain, and paid a large amount of liquidated damages and went bankrupt.

The factory went bankrupt, so he had to find a new job, but the new factory was not friendly.

Because the old factory went bankrupt, the factory owner, who had a large number of laborers to pick and choose, desperately lowered their salaries.

The salary given was less than half of his previous salary, and the various benefits that should have been given were also suppressed to the lowest by the other party.

With his glorious experience in the past, he certainly would not be willing to give in like this.

After working reluctantly for a few months in the new factory, he angrily chose to resign when he saw that he worked so hard but got less than half of his salary before.

He thought that after leaving the new factory, he could find a better job soon with his ability.

But reality slapped him mercilessly.

It was as if he had suffered a certain curse.

He found new jobs again and again, but not long after, he would leave for various reasons.

Some were active;

Some were passive;

Some had high salaries, some had low salaries;

But no matter which job, he could not last more than three months.

With one job after another,

Soon, the savings he had accumulated were quickly consumed.

Then came one credit card after another that was fully prepaid.

He earned less and less, but he spent more and more money.

His mother's medical expenses, his children's milk powder money, living expenses, firewood, rice, oil, salt and other family expenses...

Everything needs money.

The burden of life formed a suffocating pressure that tried to crush him.

However.

He did not give in.

Instead, he worked harder and harder, working like crazy...

But in this world, it is not that you will get rewards for your efforts, and hard work will not necessarily bring happiness.

Just as he was crazy about working three jobs a day, his income improved slightly.

But fate dealt him another blow.

He... fell ill!

Long-term hard work finally crushed his weak body.

In order to cure his body, his family spent all the savings he had accumulated with great difficulty when he was crazy not long ago, and even owed a foreign debt.

Just when he found a new job, cheered himself up, and everything could start over.

His mother... relapsed.

That night, he just swiped the last balance on his credit card and came out of the hospital, but he learned from the police that his wife was hit by a stray bullet from a gang of robbers when she came back from the restaurant where she worked...

Fortunately, his wife did not die, but unfortunately, he could not swipe a penny from his card to go to the hospital for treatment.

At the payment counter of the hospital, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the doctor, frantically begging the doctor to save his wife, but those doctors just told him indifferently that they could only act according to the hospital's rules and regulations.

Without money, the operation cannot be arranged.

Fortunately, his wife's parents arrived in time, paid the surgery fee, and saved his wife.

But at the same time, they no longer wanted their daughter to live with him in such a precarious life.

They asked him for a divorce.

He agreed.

Because the first thing his wife said after coming out of the operating table was to ask him to go back quickly and take the child to the hospital.

It turned out that his child also had a high fever tonight.

His wife hurried home after work, planning to take the child to the hospital for treatment.

Looking at the empty balance in the credit card, he was captured by a deep sense of powerlessness.

He had no money.

Finally.

His wife's parents brought the child to the hospital, but at the same time, they forced him to sign the divorce agreement.

He walked out of the hospital again, walking on the street in a daze, but the last ray of light had been lost in his eyes.

When he returned to the apartment, he looked at the family photo of five people on the table. It was as if the last string in his body was broken. He suddenly hugged the family photo on the table and cried bitterly.

Just at this moment, two scarlet lights were attracted by his suffocating despair, fell from the void, and sank into his body.

·······

After reading the tragic life of that man, Ailin's expression was a little complicated.

It turned out that what was really suffocating was not the air that could not be breathed, but the desperate life!
