A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 10

When she gets the money from the bank, she stops a taxi and it takes her twenty minutes to get to the hospital.

When she comes into the ward, she sees her mother is lying on the bed, with her legs hanging over the bed. Her sister Joey is playing games next to her mother, screaming out loud.

“Mom, what happened?” Lily puts down the fruit she bought on the road, and looks at her mother sadly, “How did you get hurt?”

Lily’s Mother is afraid of her and answers, “I is doing housework and I broke my leg by accident, it is not a big deal.”

“She is just being clumsy,” Joey interrupts, “She is working as a part time cleaner in someone’s house, and she fell down and hurt her legs.”

Lily says unhappily, “You work as a librarian. How did you end up falling down in someone else home?”

Lily’s mother keeps silent.

Joey puts down her phone and mumbles, “She is just too stupid, she fell down in their house, but she didn’t know how to ask for compensation, and called me right away, such an idiot.”

“Shut up.” Lily puts her bag on the bed and shouts to her sister, “Your mother is lying here, you think she is stupid, then how about you?”

“Maybe you are right, I am as stupid as your mother, anyway, since you are here, I gotta get going. And Lily, I have to pay for my school fees.”

Lily bursts into laughter, “No wonder you told me to bring more money. It your time to pay the tuition fee.”

“Sweetheart, you just give her the money.” Lily’s mother opened her mouth. “You sister is studying in an art school, where you have to pay a lot of money as school fees. I will give it back to you later when I earn the money.”

Lily feels helpless right away.

She hates her mother, her family is so poor, but they keep on having babies, and all the responsibility come to Lily, just because she is the oldest child.
