share time: 2025-12-19 06:03:09

Wang Fugui, a laid-off worker, fell for an investment scam to raise his daughter's high school tuition, landing in 100,000 yuan of debt. His wife packed her bags with red eyes, ready to return to her parents' home, while his daughter gave him her half-year pocket money: "Dad, I don't need math tutoring anymore—I can study on my own." As he squatted under a telephone pole outside the old steel mill smoking glumly, his phone pinged with a transfer alert—200,000 yuan, with a note: "For the hot porridge on that snowy night." It was from the down-and-out businessman he saved five years ago, now back to repay the favor. But holding the bank card, Fugui hesitated: Should he pay back the neighbors first, or fulfill his daughter's three-year dream of learning the piano? The warmth of a Northeast man is all wrapped up in this "heaven-sent fortune."
