Three years after divorcing my ex-wife.
To make her new boyfriend happy, she sued me in court.
She demanded that I return the electric scooter she had given me before our divorce.
She knew perfectly well that I was in terrible health and spent all my money on medicine.
Still, she accused me with righteous indignation:
"You have to pay me back for all the money I spent on you when we were married."
Looking at the disdain in her eyes,
I gave a bitter smile and took out the mere 3,502 yuan and 10 cents I had left.
When her new boyfriend mocked me, saying it wasn't even enough to buy a pair of shoes,
no one knew
that this lawsuit had gotten me listed as an untrustworthy debtor,
leaving me with no choice but to sleep in a hospital corridor.
Even the medicine keeping me alive had been stopped altogether.
