A migrant worker risked his life to save a young woman who had fallen into the water.
After being rescued, the woman tried to give the worker some money to thank him for saving her life.
The kind-hearted migrant worker refused outright, saying that saving someone wasn't about money.
Back at the construction site, he discovered his phone was damaged in the water and unusable.
He could only afford a new, ordinary phone for 200 yuan.
He worked hard at the construction site to earn 200 yuan, which wasn't easy, and he felt a pang of regret.
Then he remembered that he had saved the woman, and since his phone was damaged during the rescue, she should compensate him. He contacted the woman and explained the situation.
However, the woman flatly refused, saying that saving someone was voluntary, and since he hadn't accepted payment then, he shouldn't accept it again now.
Otherwise, she would be using this as leverage to blackmail him.
The migrant worker felt wronged; he felt he wanted compensation, not a reward.
He never expected that kindness could turn into coldness so quickly.
