In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.
As she walked out of the subway entrance, the scorching sun shone directly on her face. Emily checked the camera hanging on her neck. When her eyes swept across her chest, she remembered that she had been molested in the hospital two days ago. She couldn't help but grind her teeth and said, "How could he be a doctor? He is a b*stard!"
Beside her was her colleague Tina, who carried the Video equipment. She asked in confusion, "Emily, what are you talking about there alone?"
"Nothing!" Emily curled her lips and stopped thinking about that beast.
Looking up at the entrance of the old community in front of her, she pointed and said, "Let's go. Turn the corner ahead and we're arrived!"
The place they arrived at was the old urban area. It was a little shabby compared to the prosperous area. The old buildings were dense and many walls were peeled. Most of them who lived here were old people or migrant workers.
One month ago, Emily interviewed an old lady. She was not only widowed. In her early years, her sons and daughters- in- law both died unexpectedly. She only relied on herself to pick up garbage to raise her grandson. And such an old lady who lived in poverty, had a very kind heart. She took care of a lot of stray cats around her. When it was reported, it had aroused wide concern.
They came here today to do some follow-up reports.
The grandmother's home was on the first floor which was a semi- basement. After knocking on the door patiently for two minutes, she heard the old woman's footsteps as she opened the door.
She was as enthusiastic as they had been in their first interview. When they entered the door, the old lady said with a smile, "You came at the right time. I've just freshly cooked sweet potatoes!"
"Thank you!" Emily quickly expressed her gratitude.
The old woman waved her hand and put the potato in a bowl, handing it to the two of them with an honest smile. "I should thank you! After the last report, many kind-hearted people came to adopt cats from time to time this month. They can have a home. Have you noticed when you came? There are fewer wandering cats on the streets now!"
"This is what we should do!" Emily said with smile.
Most of the time, she was more willing to go to the news which was closer to the people's livelihood. After receiving feedback from others, she always had a sense of pride in her heart.
After the interview with the stray cat, Emily could not help but ask, "Grandma, where's your grandson? Why didn't I see him?"
The little grandson was vivacious. He just entered the second grade of primary school this year. When Emily interviewed him, he would sit there and look at her obediently. As soon as interview finished, he would ask her for candies.
Emily went to the supermarket to buy a bag of candies in advance and wanted to give it to the kid.
A worried look appeared on the old lady's face. She shook her head and said, "Don't mention it. Recently, he has had a heart attack again. He has been lying in bed for a few days. His little face is pale, and he even too ill to talk. My heart hurts when I look at him!" "Grandma, it can't be like this. He is still so young. This congenital heart disease needs surgery!" Emily frowned.
While chatting, she had roughly learned that her little grandson inherited congenital heart disease from his mother. He even could not participate in sports classes in school.
"Alas!" The old woman sighed and wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes helplessly. "Of course I know, but the operation fee is too scary. I can't afford it at all. Just hope God bless him!"
The sorrow of the poor
Emily and her colleague Tina looked at each other with sympathy.
Bang!
