Mess

"Sophie, let's have hot pot today and eat your favorite tofu, okay?"

Speaking of food, Sophie finally becomes happy.

"Sophie, show us what song you learn in the kindergarden today, OK?"

Elaine knows that Begonia is trying to adjust the atmosphere. Although she couldn't change her expression as her faced forward, she tries to sound cheerful in her voice.

After all, Sophie is innocent and we can't let adults' emotions affect her.

When they arrive at the vegetable market, in order to take their sister out for a walk, they walke around for a while.

In fact, they only buy a little tofu and vegetables because their bank acount is alarming.

But considering Sohpie's mood, Begonia finnaly buy beef for no more than a woman's fist, which only gave each person a few slices.

Eggs were cheap, so they bought a plate of them.

But even so, it is a very sumptuous meal for them.

The two drive the RV to a nearby parking lot, where there happenes to be a public toilet so they could refill the RV's water tank.

It gets dark early in winter. After a busy day, only a hot dinner can warm people's hearts.

Begonia is helping Sophie to take a bath and Elaine is preparing hot pot when they hear knocks on the door.

Elaine openes the door and sees a man in security uniform.

"You can't park RV in this parking lot. In addition, you're fetching water, which is delaying other people from entering or leaving."

Even though Elaine knows he is looking for trouble, but she could only lower her head at this moment.

"It's getting late now. Can we leave early tomorrow morning? As for the water, I can put away the pipe now!"

Elaine actually knows that sometimes these security guards just want to make some extra money for water, but she has already spent a lot of money on buying groceries today, and what happened in the kindergarten makes Elaine doesn't want to accept unfair treatment anymore.

Unexpectedly, the security guard's expression changed immediately as if he had taken gunpowder.

He also calles another colleague, knocking on the RV fiercely, and yell at Elaine to leave right now.

He also says dirty words, "Young girls like you live in a RV just like homeless ones? Hurry up and leave, don't dirty the place!"

For a moment, Elaine really wants to get out of the car and fight them! !

In the deep mind, Elaine with every gossip like mistress can go away with this kind of insane behavior.

Elaine seems to be standing at a fork in the road.

The knife in her hand and the shouting outside the door are one path, and the weak crying of her sister in the RV and Begonia's gentle comfort sound are the other path.

What should Elaine do?

Elaine finally puts on a smile and drives the RV out of the parking lot as if it's virus that has been driven away.

By the time Begonia, Elaine and Sophie start eating, the hot pot has already turned from noodles into dough lumps.

Even though there isn't much dipping sauce, Sophie eats it with big mouthfuls, as if she is comforting the two useless adults in her own way.

Before going to bed, Sophie whisperes that she wantes to drink a sip of sweet yogurt.

There is only one box of yogurt left in the refrigerator, which Sophie has always been reluctant to drink. Maybe it is kept just for a little sweetness to smooth the mood after a bad day!

Under the dim night light, Sohpie is finnally sleeping soundly under the quilt.

Begonia and Elaine sit opposite to each other with a glass of water in front of them, also wearing down jackets.

Poor people can't even afford to buy alcohol, and they don't have extra money to turn on the heating.

"I really want to know what does that crazy woman thinking of ? Yes, I was the mistress of her husband, but I didn't know it! That scumbag lied to me that he was single, and I only found out after she told me about that! I was wrong, I was wrong! So I planned to resign and quit! But why is she like a ghost? Wherever I work, she makes trouble. I can't do my job. I made a mistake, isn't my compensation enough?"

Elaine smiled, but her smile was uglier than crying.

"Will she be satisfied if she forces me to death one day? But why doesn't she even let my sister go? My sister has never owed her anything!"

Elaine takes a big gulp of water, but she knows that she is not even qualified to be drunk.

"I finally see a glimmer of hope today. Why can't God let me be happy for even just a moment?"

For fear of waking up her sister, Elaine's words are so faint that only Begonia could hear them.

Begonia sits besides to Elaine and let her lean on her shoulder.

The whimpering sound of Elaine bits her clothes and also Begonia's heart.

The rumor of a mistress is like a shackle that locks Elaine up. How can she get rid of this suffering in life?

God, please don't add any more suffering to the poor woman!

However, the gods' prayers are not being answered.

In the morning, Elaine, who always get up early because she has a part-time job during the day, touches her sister out of habit, only to find that Sophie's forehead is burning hot.

She try to wake her sister up, but the little kid just curles up and couldn't speak.

Begonia and Elaine flash at the same time, could it be yogurt!?

When they look at the package, they found it is indeed expired! To save money, they don't turn on the refrigerator in the car because it is winter now.

However, the weahter is obviously not cold enough!

Now, they are in trouble.

Elaine quickly drive to the nearest children's hospital and run from top to bottom, but there are even more people waiting for doctors, and it is so crowded that it makes everyone feelling uneasy.

Elaine just reminds of her part-time job. One day's absence means no extra salary.

When things going like this, if Begonia is free, Begonia will take care the position since every inch is meaningful for them.

The two of them have always been like this and will never miss any opportunity to make money.
