You’d think that most mothers would be overjoyed the day that their children are born, and be prepared to love them unconditionally for the rest of their lives.
After all, they did carry that child in their bodies for nine months, and they’re obviously going to do their very best to protect them and look after them dearly.
Not this particular mother of twins in China, though.

Mother Sold Her Twin Babies
Monsters come in different shapes and sizes. This lady is one of them.
A 20-year-old single mother, known only as Ma, sold off her newborn twin boys in September last year for 65,000 yuan (S$12,600).
The woman, who’s from Cixi City, Zhejiang Province, felt that she had no choice but to sell her children as she was “penniless and heavily in debt”.
According to Guanghua Daily, Ma sold her two sons to others for 45,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan respectively, a week after they were born.
Don’t know why one’s more expensive than the other.
She said that her parents were not willing to help her because they were angry about her surprise pregnancy.
Split The Money With The Father
The father of the twins, Wu Nan, refused to be responsible for the babies. He was financially unstable and was drowning in debt accumulated from gambling his money away.
Wu was not even present when the twins were born, and he only went back to Ma upon finding out that she had sold their children.

No, not to scold her for it. Instead, he asked for half of the money so that he could pay off his debts.
Because, you know, he contributed to them.
Bought Herself a New Phone
Ma agreed to split the money with him, and she used her share of the money to pay off her own credit card debts and buy herself a new phone.
Because, apparently, a materialistic item like a phone is more important than your own flesh and blood.
The sale of the children was only uncovered by local police recently, while they were investigating a different case.

When they detained the couple, they found out that the couple had already spent all the money that they made from trafficking their own children.
Luckily, the twins have now been reconciled and are currently under the custody of Ma’s parents.
It really is unbelievable to see the extreme lengths that people would go to just for money.
Here’s what NCMPs are, and what to expect after GE2025:
