These children are different from ordinary children; they are shy.

Some children would have an emotional breakdown if the teacher wasn't there.

However, the number of teachers at the welfare home is limited, and it's not realistic to go to a hotel to look after more than twenty children.

But it's not a good idea to just leave the child standing there.

After experiencing the disaster, these children are all terrified and need to find a place to rest.

Just as Mingyao was trying to figure out a solution, her phone suddenly rang.

When Pei Siyu called, Mingyao's face was beaming with a bright smile.

"Honey~"

"I've arrived at the destination. I'm sorry, I've been too busy and haven't had a chance to call you."

She pinched her throat, making her voice sound sticky and musky.

The man on the other end of the phone didn't reply for a long time, and Mingyao thought it was because the phone signal was bad.

She glanced at the screen and saw that the call was still going smoothly.

"husband?"

How are things going on your end?

Mingyao glanced at the pale-faced child behind her and sighed, "The situation is rather bad."

"The orphanage is now full of rocks and mud, and the children have nowhere to live."

Pei Siyu asked, "Have you found a solution yet?"

"not yet."

“Children in welfare homes are wary of unfamiliar environments, so staying in a hotel might not be appropriate.”

After a moment of silence, Pei Siyu suddenly said, "Leave this to me."

"A car will pick up the child later."

Mingyao was stunned for a moment, but before she could ask any more questions, Pei Siyu had already hung up the phone.

When she called Pei Siyu again, the mechanical female voice kept telling her that no one answered.

Mingyao didn't care about anything else. By noon, she planned to find a place for the children to rest.

"Sister, what are you still standing there in a daze for?"

"Come help quickly!"

Su Xueya's aggressive voice came from afar, and Mingyao quickly walked forward.

Su Xueya threw the shovel at her, her face full of resentment.

"You said you were coming to help, what are you standing there like an idiot for?"

"Did you deliberately skip coming?"

Mingyao rolled her eyes and said with a forced smile, "Why would I deliberately not come?"

“I’m just getting to the bottom of things, unlike some people who’ve been playing with shovels all this time.”

Su Xueya was hit where it hurt and glared angrily at Ming Yao.

"nonsense!"

"Who's playing with a shovel?"

Mingyao was too lazy to say anything more to Su Xueya, so she turned around and left.

Su Xueya was furious. If she had known the environment here was so dirty and chaotic, she wouldn't have come.

"Yaoyao, come and help quickly."

Just as Su Xueya was about to go and help, Su Xiu stopped her.

Su Xueya tugged at the corners of her lips, clenched her fist, and tried to pretend she hadn't heard and walk away.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiu walked over and handed her a plastic bag full of trash.

"Go throw it away quickly."

"The trash can is right behind us."

Su Xiu pointed to a spot, and Su Xueya pouted, clearly disgusted.

With Su Xiu standing there, even if she didn't want to, she had no choice but to carry her dirty trash to find a trash can.

Mingyao was cleaning up the silt when Su Xueya, as if she had found a savior, hurriedly told Mingyao to go throw away the trash.

"Can't you throw it away yourself?"

Su Xueya pinched her nose, suppressing her nausea, and forcibly stuffed the trash into Mingyao's hand.

"Go quickly!"

Mingyao had no choice but to agree.

She worked tirelessly, throwing the trash into the bins and continuing to clean up the silt.

At this moment, Su Xiu carried out a lot of clothes and quilts that had been soaked and ruined from the dormitory building and asked Su Xueya to help her.

Su Xueya looked at Su Xiu holding the quilt and clothes dripping with dirty water, and almost threw up her dinner from the night before.

They have plenty of money, so why would they do such dirty and tiring work?

Su Xueya didn't dare to say what she was thinking directly, and forced herself to hug the blanket while enduring the nausea.

The blanket was damp and had a musty smell.

The strong smell almost made Su Xueya vomit, and she quickly took a few steps back.

Seeing that she hadn't reacted for a while, Su Xiu was about to urge her when Su Xueya's face scrunched up.

She clutched her stomach, making groaning noises.

Su Xiu looked at Su Xueya nervously, "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Su Xueya's face was ashen, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes.

"Auntie, I suddenly feel a pain in my stomach."

"Um, I need to go to the restroom first."

Su Xueya clutched her stomach and ran towards the bathroom.

Mingyao watched her retreating figure with amusement, finding it all quite funny.

To avoid doing work, they'd even lie about having a stomachache.

Su Xiu was still holding the blanket when Ming Yao took it from her.

Su Xueya didn't go to the bathroom; instead, she hid in the distance, watching everything with smug satisfaction.

Mingyao is such a fool.

She didn't want to do any dirty or tiring work. Since Mingyao liked it so much, she could just let her do it herself!

Mingyao was holding her blanket when a female teacher rushed over, asking around, "Have you seen a little girl this tall with a ponytail?"

The teacher looked flustered and was so anxious she was almost in tears.

"Teacher, what happened?"

The teacher, her eyes welling up with tears, said, "A little girl, about ten years old, has gone missing."

"Wearing a pink cotton-padded jacket and with her hair in a ponytail."

The teacher was sobbing uncontrollably, and Mingyao quickly comforted her, "The situation at the orphanage isn't serious; we'll definitely find her."
