However, the next day, their troubles were worse than they had imagined.

Jeff is Mary's second brother, he is 8 years older than Mary.Living in a house in the suburbs, the environment looks very good.

He used to be a real estate developer, so he should be considered a rich man.He received Chris and Amy politely.

"I know you, you're an actress. I've seen your movies. You were in great shape."

"Thank you." Chris and Amy sat on the leather sofa drinking the coffee he handed over.

Amy took a look at his home. The furniture was very old-fashioned, but it looked very valuable. It seemed that the house was cleaned by nanny and hourly workers, so it looked clean and tidy.

Chris is an eloquent woman, and she quickly made it clear to Jeff what they were coming for.She expressed the hope that Jeff would accept her sister Mary and that it would be best to live with her.

It's a bit of an unpleasant conversation, as Jeff seems to be listening all the time, or drinking coffee.Although he nodded politely, he didn't offer to ask anything about Mary.

"You said, you are her inmates? Did you meet in prison?"

"Yes, sir. Mary works as a librarian in the prison, and we often have coffee and cake at her place."

Amy felt that this brother didn't seem to care much about Mary's affairs.

"I know. But I'm old now, and I need someone to take care of me. Mary is not for me. If she needs money, then she may have made a mistake. During my second divorce, my The wife shared more than half of my money, and the lawsuit has been going on for many years. Now, I only have the pension saved for myself."

Jeff's words made both of them stunned. So he thought they were asking him for money?
"I think you must have made a mistake. We are not here to ask you for money. We just hope that you can meet Mary when she is released from prison and encourage her. Ask her not to give up hope in life." Chris immediately explained.

The room suddenly became very quiet, but the atmosphere also became awkward.

Jeff put down his coffee cup nonchalantly.

"I've been away from home since then, and my stupid little sister, Mary, just gets into trouble. When I was just out of college, she had some nasty friends. My parents asked me to talk her out of it, and I went to , but she didn't listen, she almost didn't graduate from high school, and then she went out to fool around. She was also sent to the detention center several times. I went to get her out no less than three times."

A look of contempt appeared on Jeff's face. He walked to a bookcase, came out with a Bible, turned a few pages, and prayed.

This is a favorite way of some believers, and they will make such gestures when they are excited.

"My parents were upset about her going to prison. Her boyfriend was an asshole. The whole family objected to them getting together. But Mary was an idiot. Not only did she not listen to advice, she even followed him to rob. After being sentenced for 30 years, Mary almost passed out. The parents regretted their daughter all their lives."

Chris and Amy were speechless.Mary did a lot of outrageous things when she was young, and hurt the hearts of many people who cared about her.

She was sentenced to 30 years and received the punishment she deserved.Everyone needs to pay the price for their actions.No one can help them, and no one can live for them, this is fate.

"My mother was sad for her, and later she suffered from a heart attack and died very early. My father also died ten years ago. On the morning of his death, he was still asking why his lovely little Mary hadn't come. He had a heart attack. With dementia, he often forgets a lot of things, but he still remembers his little Mary. But Mary has been in prison because of her stupidity."

Jeff seemed a little emotional, and he was very dissatisfied with what Mary had done.He didn't want to mention Mary at all.

"Yes, Mary did something wrong. But she should have been punished so severely. During her 30 years in prison, she lost her youth and youth. Lost time and life. She has atoned for her sins. Her parents did pay for her Sad, but you can't attribute your parents' illness to Mary. Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. Mary just needs a relative to comfort her."

Amy stood up and looked at Jeff.

"Who wouldn't make a mistake? What's more, she was so young at the time. It was just unfortunate that she had a bastard boyfriend. Aren't you also divorced? Is love reasonable? She was just unlucky and happened to be there It's just a day."

In fact, Amy is not easy to get involved in other people's family affairs, after all, she does not have the right to make irresponsible remarks.

But Jeff's expression and behavior didn't seem to care about Mary's life at all.And blame Mary for all the family affairs.

"Get out of here! I don't want to hear about Mary anymore. She's an adult too. She needs to take responsibility for herself. Why should I care about her business?"

The conversation ended so unpleasantly. After Chris and Amy came out, they were in a bad mood.

How should I put it, they didn't think about Jeff's refusal, but things still made them feel frustrated.If Mary knew that her brother was like this, she would be even more sad and hopeless about life.

"Let's change the family. Jeff's character seems very stubborn. I don't think we can persuade him anymore. And even if we force him to accept Mary, but Lu Yao knows that Mali will see people's hearts for a long time, and Jeff will one day Hurt Mary's pride."

Chris felt that Jeff could no longer be considered in it.Although among these three relatives, brother Jeff may be the one who needs the most affection.After a person divorced, the child also left and lived in an empty home.It must have been lonely, too.

But he still didn't accept Mary and didn't want to mention her.

"Maybe some people prefer to live alone? They prefer that way. Jeff probably doesn't want someone to ruin his quiet old life."

The two drove again and went to another sister's house.

But they don't plan to drive, because it's too far away.They took the plane and found the remote town.

With the lesson learned from last time, they first inquired about their younger sister Jin Na in the small town.

"You mean that Jinna? Her life is a mess. This is her third husband. It is said that one of the first two divorced, and the other ran away with a woman and divorced. This husband here is always going to drink , she has to work two jobs by herself and supports three children. The eldest has left home as an adult, the second is 13 years old, and the third is seven years old and just started elementary school."

The owner of the flower shop is a local who has lived here for many years, so he knows Jinna very well.

"My daughter and her third child are in the same class at the same school. Her youngest daughter Mary is my daughter's good friend. She often eats snacks and plays at our house."

"Mary? Her daughter's name is Mary?"

Amy and Chris glanced at each other, and there was some surprise in each other's eyes.

Naming a child is a very meaningful thing. Many people give their children the name of a relative, which will represent love and longing.

So is it the same meaning that Jin Na named her little daughter?

They stayed in the flower shop for a while, then bought some flowers, and bought some gifts next door.

An hour later, two little girls came to the flower shop bouncing around.

"Mary, you have visitors. Take them to your mother," said the florist to a freckled, blond-haired, thin girl.

Little Mary looked at Amy and Chris in surprise.

"You want to find my mother?"

"Yes, we are friends with Jinna's sister. I want to see her. Can you take us there?"

Little Mary thought for a while and said, "Mom is working on the farm today. If you want to go, you need to take a car."

Chris smiled and said to her: "If you can take us there, this bear puppet is yours, okay?"

Little Mary glanced at the puppet they just bought from the store next door, her eyes lit up, she nodded and said, "Then follow me."

When Amy and Chris found Jinna on the farm in the small town, Jinna was milking the cows. It could be seen that she was already very skilled, and there were already several barrels of milk beside her.

It was a woman who looked a bit weather-beaten, but her eyes were clear and firm.It doesn't seem to feel that the work is hard.

  "Mommy!" Little Mary ran over and threw herself into her arms.

"My Mary! Why are you here? After school? Are you hungry?"

Although Jin Na was surprised, she still showed a distressed expression when she saw her daughter. She stroked her daughter's little head and looked up to see Amy and Chris holding flowers.

Ten minutes later, Jinna poured them two glasses of fresh milk in the farm lounge.

"I'm sorry, I can only entertain you here."

"You're welcome. In fact, we are here this time because of your sister Mary."

  Jin Na was taken aback for a moment and then said, "How is she? Did something happen?"

"No, her time is up and she is going to be released from prison."

Amy Goodcress also told Jinna what they meant.

Jinna was in tears, and she seemed choked up.

"Finally, this day has come. She spent her life and youth in prison. I really don't know how she survived. Thank you for telling me. I will call her when the time comes."

Amy was a little embarrassed and said: "Her situation is very special now. I think she really needs someone to help her. Maybe it's not just a phone call. She needs relatives to accompany and comfort her."

  Jin Na was stunned, with embarrassment and guilt on her face, as well as a trace of helplessness.

"I really want to help her, but I really can't leave here. The situation at home, hey. My current husband is a trouble, and he won't agree to Mary living in our house."
