What a pity it was that not only did her mother not appreciate it and use the money well, she ended up developing a greedy materialism. She'd invest it in losing ventures with her unsuccessful brother. Then when she was seriously ill, she wouldn't pay her medical fees herself. Rather, Liao had to borrow from friends to pay them for her.
可惜母親不但不珍惜，反倒養成對物質的無盡饜求，還大筆資助創業不順利的哥哥，卻在她重病開刀時狠心慳吝地不肯掏錢，任由她向朋友借錢籌醫藥費。
