Chapter 1,434 Emergency(1/2)
The misfortune of Yujiro Sakai cannot actually be regarded as real misfortune.
Because to a large extent, it is actually caused by his inability to understand himself correctly and to view the objective world rationally.
Besides, at least he still has a family, at least he still has a house, and at least he still has a wife who truly loves him.
There are many people in this world who are more miserable than him. If compared with those who have suffered real misfortunes, he should be grateful to the world and be satisfied with his current situation.
For example, Mi Xiaoran just accepted the death of her husband.
Zhao Hanyu's unexpected death caused everything in Mi Xiaoran's world to collapse, especially her life.
The news of her husband's unexpected death was something Mi Xiaoran couldn't accept at all.
When she figured out what happened and went to identify the body, she almost lost her mind when she saw Zhao Hanyu's miserable condition.
Perhaps it was due to a stress reaction. When she was at her most emotional, the world began to spin and she fell unconscious.
After waking up, Mi Xiaoran found herself lying in the hospital, and accompanying her was Zhao Hanyu's sister-in-law.
At this time, Mi Xiaoran felt that there was no light in her life, and she fell into despair. If she hadn't remembered that she had a child who was just a few months old, she would have wanted to die.
On the day of Zhao Hanyu's funeral, Mi Xiaoran's eyes were as red and swollen as a peach from crying. She was in much more pain than Zhao Hanyu's blood relatives.
Although she didn't love Zhao Hanyu that much when she first married him.
But in the years after marriage, after several years of being together, after discovering that Zhao Hanyu treated her the same, and that the two of them had the fruit of love, Mi Xiaoran had already given up on Zhao Hanyu and regarded him as the most important person in her life.
My only companion, I will never do what he wants again in this life.
Her emotions, her family, her expectations, her future, so everything she can outline about happiness is all based on his participation.
And now, she has lost her husband and also everything else. How can she control this grief?
Not only that, after the funeral, Mi Xiaoran faced an even more severe situation.
Because in her life, Zhao Hanyu is still the family's financial supporter and the support of her life.
Now that Zhao Hanyu died suddenly, she even lost the basic guarantee of life.
First of all, they had just bought a house, and she was simply unable to afford the huge mortgage loan and continue to pay for the house.
Secondly, she still has a child to feed.
In addition, she has no job, no financial resources to pay her living bills, and no savings.
The most unfortunate thing is that their little savings were used to pay the down payment for the house, and even the little financial compensation they received after Zhao Hanyu was fired was used to pay for his funeral.
Otherwise, with the original more than 20,000 US dollars, Mi Xiaoran could at least be able to support himself independently for a while.
But now it's no longer possible. Not only does she have no extra money to let her calm down her pain quietly, but she can also think about what to do in the future.
She even had to brace herself up to deal with the many bills and bank reminders that were due.
Now Mi Xiaoran is really in debt, troubled and penniless.
Even though she was exhausted physically and mentally, and she still had a young child to take care of, she had to cope with everything and had to accept the cruel reality.
In the end, with the help of the Zhao family, they managed to make do with everything, transferred the house to someone else at a low price, and barely got back two thousand US dollars.
Twenty-five thousand dollars turned into two thousand dollars, not counting the regular monthly payments during the few months we moved in.
Such a loss of blood made Mi Xiaoran almost cry without tears.
But even this is better than nothing, after all, the current world situation has made the stock market crash an outrageous event.
The number of unemployed people in the United States is increasing every day, stores are closing every day, and entire commercial buildings have been built but cannot be rented out.
Let alone houses, even daily necessities are overstocked in stores and cannot be sold.
Banks are selfless yamen, and they will deduct your profits every day.
If you don't pay for one month, you will be given a yellow slip warning. If you fail to pay for two months, you will be given a red slip warning.
If you don't get any money for three months, the house will go directly to the bank, and you won't get a cent.
So if the Zhao family had not been deeply rooted in the United States and knew enough people to help her find an old overseas Chinese who worked as a charterer to take over, Mi Xiaoran wouldn't be able to get even this little money.
Even the old overseas Chinese, who wanted to be friends with Zhao's parents, sympathized with her plight and allowed her to live there until New Year's Day before moving out.
For her, this was considered a blessing in misfortune.
But having said that, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and the Zhao family's help is not without cost.
After all, Americans are very pragmatic about finances and make clear distinctions. No one will pay in vain for someone who is not related by blood.
And even if it is a blood relationship, there are conditions, and the hand will not be in vain.
Mi Xiaoran never expected that after dealing with the creditors who sent bills or came to collect debts, another heavy blow would follow.
Unexpectedly, it was the turn of Zhao Hanyu's relatives - those who, like her, were also grieving for Zhao Hanyu's unexpected death - came to force her.
Zhao Hanyu's parents had a private conversation with Mi Xiaoran. Their intention was very simple. They wanted to hand over Zhao Enxia to Zhao Hanyu's brother and sister-in-law to raise him, and he would be considered their child from now on.
The old couple plausibly said that although Zhao Hanyu had gone, he still left them a grandson. The Zhao family could not ignore Zhao Enxia, a member of the Zhao family's bloodline.
But Mi Xiaoran is different. She is still very young. She has to continue to live. She will definitely move on and marry someone else in the future.
Of course, it is very inconvenient for a single mother to take care of a child alone.
Considering the situation of an orphan and a widowed mother, not only is it difficult to survive, but it will also hinder her future happiness.
So in view of this, Zhao Hanyu's parents suggested that she might as well give up the custody of the child, leave the child to the Zhao family to raise, and move forward with ease to find a happy new life.
Especially now that the children are still young and will not remember too many things, it is easiest for Mi Xiaoran to leave, and it will not have any impact on the children's future.
Zhao Hanyu's brother and sister-in-law will definitely take care of Zhao Enxia as their own child, give him the best education, and let him go to the best university.
The Zhao family is willing to give Mi Xiaoran US$50,000 as compensation for this.
As long as she promises not to interfere with her children's lives again, and is willing to leave New York from now on.
If Zhao Hanyu's death was an unbearable blow given to Mi Xiaoran by God, then the Zhao family's request at this time is tantamount to adding salt to Mi Xiaoran's bloody wound.
Mi Xiaoran never thought that the Zhao family would actually make such a ridiculous and shameless suggestion.
They actually wanted to take away her child!
She actually wants to use money to cut off the blood relationship between her, a mother, and her biological child!
They will not be allowed to meet again from now on!
How is this possible?
How is this possible?
How can they be so cruel!
Of course she couldn't agree. In her opinion, the price offered by the Zhao family was for her to sell her own child, which was simply a great insult.
So she flatly refused on the spot and told the Zhao family with tears in her eyes that she would never be separated from her child.
She said her children did not need anyone else to raise them, not even the Zhao family's help.
No matter how difficult the future is, she will do her best to raise her children and cultivate them into talents.
However, although her angry words made her appear to be particularly ambitious, she had just forgotten that the present was different from the past, and it was no longer the time for Zhao Hanyu to be alive.
In the past, the Zhao family would treat her as their daughter-in-law because they were concerned about Zhao Hanyu's face and feelings, so some things were not allowed to go too far.
But it's different now. In addition to a little baby, the Zhao family can feel a little warmth. To her, Zhao Hanyu's widow, the Zhao family now only treats her as an unrelated outsider, a woman who will marry someone else sooner or later.
Why would they allow the Zhao family's bloodline to call a person with no blood relationship his father?
So the Zhao family stopped pretending, and their hypocritical kindness was meaningless at this time. Since they were competing for the custody of their children and became irreconcilable conflicting parties, the Zhao family simply used the law as a weapon and money as a means to coerce them.
Mi Xiaoran surrendered.
"Don't be like this. You know, what you are saying is meaningless. This is the United States. You, a girl from mainland China, can't do what you say. As for basic life, you can't even have a stable life."
If you don’t have a job and you don’t have any source of income, how can you raise your children?”
"Okay, even if you can find a job, what will happen to your children when you go to work? Can your income satisfy the lives of your mother and son? What if you get sick? What if your child is accidentally injured? Do you, mother and son have medical insurance?
?Even if these are not problems, how can you ensure that you give your children the best education? Just by going to those public schools? Are you going to move your children to the ghetto?"
"Listen to our advice and don't be obsessed with it. Otherwise, we will have to go through legal proceedings. Needless to say, based on your conditions, the court cannot award you the custody of your child. And you
How can you possibly win this lawsuit if you don't even have a lawyer?"
"Don't look at us like that, it's not that we are cruel. We are doing this for your own good and for the good of our children. If you really love your children, you should change your perspective and think about Enxia's future. The children will follow
What will your future be like? Can he go to a prestigious university and have a good future? If something happens to you, will he be sent to an orphanage? This is the priority of a mother who loves her children.
.If you just can’t let go of your child, isn’t that selfish?”
"We really don't want this to be a stalemate, so let's be sensible and solve the problem. Take this money and keep the kids. You can at least go somewhere else to start your life again, get married, and have kids."
, as long as you are willing, you will have your own children, so why do you have to go to the extreme? If you feel that fifty thousand yuan is not enough to relieve your emotional pain, then because Hanyu loves you so much,
I finally gave in one more step, $80,000."
"This amount of money is indeed not too much, but you should know that in this world, the economy is about to collapse. Now no one has money, and it is difficult to find a job. With the ability of the Zhao family, this cash is not easy
You can make it up. If you don't want to stay in the United States anymore, go back to your hometown. With the consumption level in mainland China, this money will even be enough for you to live a prosperous life for a lifetime. Isn't it? In short, do well.
