My Life Traded for a Few Cents Chapter 10
Because of that, Mom was in so much pain that she writhed helplessly in bed.The staff saw how pale her face was and asked if she should call 911 to have Mom sent to a major hospital for treatment. However, Mom clutched her stomach, large beads of sweat on her face, and gripped the edge of the bed frame."No… No hospitals… They're just a scam… I'll just drink some water… It'll be fine after a while…"That very night, Mom breathed her last in excruciating abdominal pain and utter helplessness. When she died, she was still clutching half a roll of toilet paper she'd stolen from the public toilets.The welfare home contacted a lawyer. Then, they cremated her and threw her ashes into the darkest corner of the basement, along with a plastic bag of coins Mom never could bear to spend her entire life.The lawyer finally managed to find my email address after going through multiple channels. He delivered the news of Mom's death and asked me if I wanted to claim any of her belongings.I l

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. There's no point spending any money when you're returning to nature anyway," Mom said, using it as an absurd excuse to numb her emotions.Meanwhile, Austin had taken out so many online personal loans that he was now in a very desperate situation.In the past, Andrea would still help him out a little, but now that she was dead, the debt collectors came directly to his door to demand repayment.They brought metal rods and baseball bats with them and broke one of his legs."You have exactly three days to repay all 200 thousand dollars of your debt! Otherwise, we won't just be breaking your legs anymore. We're chopping your arms off entirely!"Austin dragged his broken leg with him and flew back home, frantically searching for anything of value at home.Finally, he set his eyes on Dad, who was lying half-paralyzed in bed.Dad was now on social security benefits and received at least a few thousand dollars each month. Mom kept the bank passbook tightly

Our neighbors heard the commotion and ran over again to check.However, Mom refused to call 911. Instead, she clambered over Dad's convulsing body, frantically searching his pockets."Where's the medical insurance card? Where is it? We're going to get charged a call-out fee if we call the ambulance! We can't call them!"The neighbors could no longer bear it and eventually called 911. Unfortunately, the optimal window for thrombolysis had already passed, and Dad was left completely paralyzed on one side.Half his body lay limp on the bed. He couldn't even speak clearly anymore.The medic who arrived with the ambulance angrily reprimanded Mom in the hallway for using her "home remedy" on Dad. However, Mom was still throwing a huge hissy fit with the paramedics in the living room for asking about their copayment plan.Dad lay on the stinky, pee-soaked mattress, watching Mom lose her shit with the paramedics refusing to pay anything at all, as murky tears slid down his cheek.He the

Mom completely ignored Austin and snatched the menu from him before slamming it down onto the table."Come on, I'll take you somewhere else more affordable."She then forcefully dragged Ingrid up and brought her to a pizza shop on the street corner that sold pizza by the slices for less than ten bucks per person.Ingrid still took a seat at the table to be polite, albeit a little reluctantly.When the owner asked them what they were having, Mom yelled at him from across the shop and said, "We'll have two slices of your plain cheese pie! And give us the greasier slices!"Ingrid was completely stunned.When the pizza arrived, it was plain and pale, with a pool of grease in the center. There was no sauce at all, and barely enough cheese to cover the dough.Mom then put one of the slices in the center of the table."Youngsters like you guys nowadays like romantic stuff, don't you? Here, you can both share this slice and take turns, each taking a bite. This way, you'll get to know e

Dad even purposely went to get his proposal printed, spending more than 50 dollars printing front and back on dozens of the best quality printing paper in full color and having them neatly bound into a thick volume.Before going to work, he specifically told Mom, "This is literally my lifeline, Regina, so don't you dare lay a finger on it! Just leave it on the table."Mom just nodded perfunctorily at the time. However, as soon as Dad was out of the way, her eyes were immediately drawn to the thick volume and its beautifully printed pages."What a waste of money! How could he spend 50 dollars on a bunch of stupid colored paper? It's such a waste for them to just be collecting dust on the table like this. I need to put them to good use!"Her Scrooge-like mindset crept in once again as she grabbed the volume and carefully selected a couple of pages that had fewer words and printing. Then, she tore them out and stuck them under the greasy range hood that was perpetually leaking.She f

Leroy looked a little hesitant as he looked at the sickly Andrea on the couch.However, Mom just grabbed the contract from the table and crossed my name out before writing Andrea's name instead."She might be sick, but she'll recover once she sweats it out!" she claimed while yanking her to her feet. Andrea did everything she could to fight back, but Austin and Dad grabbed her and restrained her instead.They literally didn't care which daughter got sold as long as they could get the 10,000-dollar advance payment.Mom held the thick stack of hundred-dollar bills and grinned widely, feeling smug about herself."See? It's all thanks to my cunningness and frugality that we managed to get such a great deal!"When Leroy saw how determined Mom was, and since he'd already given her the payout, he told the men to bind Andrea up instead.Andrea cried and screamed for Dad to save her, but he was so focused on the stack of money in Mom's hand that he didn't even bother looking up."Just g
