Liao Qing looked at the dirt-faced Liao Zhe, who they were firmly holding. This was her son, the one she craved for even in her dreams. But in pursuit of a better life, she had no choice but to abandon him and was startled to see how much he had grown.
Chen Qiumei hurled insults at her: "Even animals are better than you, at least they rear their offspring. But you, just to delight your taste buds, discarded your child." Mid-insult, she noticed the gold earrings on Liao Qing and became even more agitated: "You owe us years of childcare expenses for Liao Zhe."
Liao Qing murmured, "I don't have any money."
"Don't you dare use that as an excuse. If you don't pay today, I won't leave," Chen Qiumei said, her throat parched from yelling. She pulled up a chair and sat down.
