Chapter 237
Valerie knew that no one would believe her.
She picked up the first receipt and said, “This is from when I was five. The receipt says 7.3 dollars. Do you know how this money came about?”
Ruth subconsciously shook her head. Valerie could not help but smile bitterly. “Of course, you don’t remember. I’ve lived on the attic floor since I was young. There were only bedrolls and no beds. I couldn’t even see my fingers when the lights were off at night. There was a coffin beside me and the sound of rats eating. I wore clothes my brother and children of other relatives didn’t want because it didn’t cost money.”
Ruth was instantly displeased. “Which child in the countryside didn’t grow up like this!”
“Yes, but which child from the countryside sleeps next to the coffin? It’s not like there’s no bed at home. Why do I have to sleep next to the coffin in the attic? Valerie asked.
She deeply remembered that the attic was n narrow and there were rats at night. She had to sleep close to the side of the coffin. She was afraid and helpless, but she gradually got used to it. However, she never dared to make friends for many years. She was worried her friends would suggest coming to her house to play, and she did not dare to let her friends enter her “room” to play
These words rendered Ruth speechless.
Clark immediately replied, “But, she supported you to go to school. Have you forgotten!”
Valerie knew he would say that
She said, “Primary school is compulsory and doesn’t require tuition fees. The school is a full hour’s walk away from my house. At that time, I had to go by myself. I would get up before dawn and fill up the water tank before I could go to school. But what about my brother? You rode him to school.
“When I was five, you brought them to visit our relatives on Christmas. You didn’t bring me along, which was lime, but you locked me alone in the
house.
“You went for more than ten days and left me, a five–year–old child, at home. You didn’t give me food and left me to fend for myself. I was starving. I drank all the remaining water in the water boule and was so hungry that I had to eat the possonous mushrooms by the wall of the house and was sent to the hospital
“It’s funny when I recall it now. After I got poisoned, I couldn’t go out at all because you locked the door. I cried in pain. Fortunately, Terry heard: me. He smashed open the door and sent me to the hospital. Otherwise, I would have dicit.
“Terry urged you three times before you came back, Reluctantly, you sent me to the hospital. The doctor said that I would be hospitalized for a week. You let me stay for three days before being discharged. The reason was because you were afraid of spending money. This is the origin of 7.1 dollars.
“The medical records are evidence, and I’ve kept it
When Valerie said this, she recalled what happened at Christmas when she was five. She could not help but feel sad, thinking. That five–year–old girl almost flied in that cold winter
Valerie placed the diagnostic report and receipt in front of the camera so everyone
Everyone was stunned.
could see
“Are you serious? Isn’t this murder? How can there be such a vicious mother in the world!”
“Look at the medical records and the stamp on the invoice. It shouldn’t be fake. Moreover, I know this hospital. It exists. This doctor is also an old doctor. I saw him when I was young.”
“Looks like it’s true. I didn’t expect Valerie’s childhood to be so miserable! If that’s the case, I should be able to understand why Valerie’s relationship
with them is so bad!
“If it were me, Id remember it for the rest of my life!”
“Her parents are simply inhumane. They didn’t leave any food for the child after they went out to visit their relatives for more than ten days and even deliberately locked the door. Weren’t they trying to starve her to death? She might still have a way out if they let her out and threw her away!”
The trend in the live broadcast room instantly changed. Ruth became the target of public criticism. The netizens scolded her until she did not dare to say anything. She was flustered and stuttered, unable to say anything. She looked at Clark as if asking for help. The latter could not give a reason. After all, it was true and everyone in the village knew about it
Cutie Pie was also dumbfounded. “What is going on? Why is it different from what I had imagined?
She panicked and quickly tried to smooth things over. “Well, this should just be a misunderstanding…

Everyone in the broadcasting room fell silent. Then, their expressions turned solemn.
