Good lord, the things people do when they're clouded by rage. In a fit of anger, a woman accidentally flung out a bag containing over $10,000 in cash — and it's obviously gone now because honestly, who wouldn't pick up that much money if it fell from the sky?
35-year-old Chinese national Li Xinhua claimed that the plastic bag contained about 47,000 yuan (S$10,200) in Chinese currency, Lianhe Wanbao reports. The money was supposed to cover her living expenses here for the year, which included payment for her daughter's school fees and housing rental.
Li had been having a tiff with her six-year-old daughter last Sunday in her rented New Upper Changi Road flat, who refused to go to bed even though it was past 1am. Li started beating the daughter, who ran into the corridor. The furious mother then mistakenly grabbed the bagful of money from the living room table and hurled it at her daughter.
She could only watch as she realised her costly mistake as over $10,000 in cash sailed down to the small park next to their block. Unsurprisingly, it was gone by the time they went downstairs.
A resident living on the second floor claimed that a man in his 20s found the bag and quickly ran away with it. He had been sitting on a bench when the bag landed straight by his side.
The distressed mother has been going downstairs repeatedly to see if the man would return with the money. She mentioned that the money was borrowed from friends and also from the proceeds of selling a house back home.
Police are currently investigating the case.
