Frustrated to the extreme!
Wu Jie had not expected to encounter such an odd person.
He felt sorry for their misfortune, but angry at their lack of initiative.
He was sad and sympathetic towards Lin's family's situation.
But…
They were poor with a sense of self-righteousness, weak beyond remedy.
Their child had been missing for over a year, they could have had a better life, yet they chose to degrade themselves.
Relatives nearby were not cherished and taken care of, instead, they fixated on the lost child.
They could have improved their family's life with the land compensation money, yet they thought only of using the land as leverage, insisting that the demolition office had to find their son.
They could have participated in a free drug trial volunteer program that would help their bedridden elder recover, not only gaining another labor force but also alleviating many burdens, yet they feared that once people left, their land would be forcibly taken.
