After nine hours of cleaning and scrubbing,
Madam Huang was ready to have a good meal
and a rest. Whatever little she earned was just
enough to pay her bills and buy her food. She
was about to sit down and have her meal when
there was a knock at her door. She opened it.
A young girl was standing there crying. Madam
Huang asked her gently what was wrong. Between
sobs, she told Madam Huang that her mother was
very ill. The family was too poor to bring her
to the doctor. The little girl had been going
round knocking on doors. Unfortunately, no one
was willing to help. Madam Huang took pity on
her. Abandoning her food, she followed the girl
back to her house. The bare house confirmed
what the little girl had told her. Madam Huang
called for a taxi and brought the lady to the
nearest clinic. She told the doctor the family
situation and asked the doctor to find help for
the family. The doctor was helpful. Before
leaving the clinic, she gave the girl some money
and told her to take care of herself and her
mother. |
