An accident took their son and daughter-in-law away.
The seventh day after their deaths hadn't even passed before the debt collectors came knocking.
She didn't understand the intricacies of business.
Her husband, sick in bed, struggled to sit up.
He was already very weak; his body had become nothing but skin and bones.
Yet he still placed her and little Lin Yu behind him.
Trying to shield them from the storm once more.
The debt was real; many projects had been suspended due to the death of their son and daughter-in-law, and all involved money.
Her husband appeased the creditors, and they finally left.
Then, with a face full of sorrow and guilt, he took her hand.
Little Lin Yu finally cried himself to sleep.
The child, who was once plump and fair, had cheeks that had become sharp in just a few short days.
Both she and her husband were heartbroken.
But at that moment, they had more pressing matters to attend to.
