In He Lingling's mind, she thought of the words her aunt had once spoken to her, a speech repeated and emphasized countless times.
"Lingling, your father's annual medical expenses plus living costs are nearly a million. That's no small amount, is it? Your aunt can help you once or twice, but I can't keep doing it forever. I've told you I can cover medical expenses, but in return, you need to do something for me. If you can't do what I just mentioned, then forget about next year's medical expenses. Even next quarter's hospitalization fee will be out of reach for you. You should know, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Since you agreed to it, you must follow through. I've done a lot for you, and I believe as a grateful person, you can certainly help me with this."
Every time she thought of these words, He Lingling couldn't help but ridicule herself from within.
