Chapter 407: Joining the Xiao Family



At eight o'clock on Sunday morning, Ye Chu came to the Love Charity Volunteer Service Team.

Today, Mo Zhiyun discussed with several volunteer team members and decided to visit Du Yifeng at home on Sunday as usual.

The volunteers of the Love Charity Volunteer Service Team all have their own jobs. They usually participate in charity activities in their spare time after work and family. Not only do they not receive wages, but they also pay for travel expenses, meals, and donations out of their own pockets. The volunteers are

happy to do it, and the atmosphere is always good.

Sunday is a holiday, and most team members have time to participate in charity activities.

At this time, Ye Chu parked the car slowly. As soon as she got out of the car, the volunteers of the Love Charity saw her and smiled and nodded to her.

This is Ye Chu's first time here. They have been in contact through WeChat before. Seeing the kind and gentle smile on the volunteer's face, she felt more favorable towards him.

She walked over with a faint smile, greeted everyone, listened to Mo Zhiyun's brief explanation of the precautions for the visit, and then set off with everyone to Du Yifeng's home.

Du Yifeng's family lives in the remote Dalang Village, which takes an hour to drive from the imperial capital.

Dalang Village is very remote, even water and electricity are very inconvenient, and the villagers have basically moved out. Du Yifeng's home is at the end of the village, and it is an extremely dilapidated mud-brick house.

Mo Zhiyun called Du Yifeng before leaving, and the boy asked for leave to wait at home. Du Yifeng's mother went to do odd jobs to supplement the family income, and she couldn't ask for leave today, so only Du Yifeng and Du's father were at home today.

At this moment.

The boy stood at the door of his house and looked out. When he saw the volunteers appear, he hurried over.

Ye Chu followed the volunteers, also wearing the volunteer uniform, so Du Yifeng didn't notice it was her.

The boy shyly greeted and thanked the volunteers with gratitude, and then invited everyone into his home.

The house was dimly lit and narrow, and after five or six volunteers entered, the small living room seemed even narrower.

Du Yifeng shyly asked everyone to sit down and began to pour water for everyone. When he handed the boiled water to Ye Chu, the boy froze in surprise.

Ye Chu took the cup with a gentle smile and nodded to the boy.

The boy came back to his senses woodenly, and moved his lips a few times to speak, but when he saw that Ye Chu had no intention of speaking, the boy suppressed the doubts and excitement in his heart and continued to pass water to the volunteers.

Ye Chu came here today to audit the class, so he didn't say a word the whole time and was only responsible for listening.

Two volunteers went to the room to visit Du's father who was sick in bed.

The rest of the volunteers chatted with Du Yifeng in the small living room, gently asking about Du Yifeng's family situation and study.

Du Yifeng still shyly and obediently answered the volunteers' questions, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Ye Chu from time to time.

When talking about Du's father being diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, although the boy was still uncomfortable, he was still able to communicate with the volunteers calmly. It seems that in the past two months, the boy has adjusted his mentality to some extent.

Poor children become responsible for their families early, and their ability to withstand pressure is generally better than that of their peers.

After more than half an hour, Du Yifeng's current situation was finally understood clearly.

At this time, Mo Zhiyun asked Du Yifeng gently and seriously: "You have recently found a long-term job. Don't you plan to go to college?"

Du Yifeng's eyes were slightly dim. It was obvious that he wanted to continue to go to college, but he said without hesitation: "No."

The volunteers frowned and showed regret.

Du Yifeng lowered his head and said: "I know that my brothers and sisters care about me, and I am very grateful in my heart. But now... I am poor and can't take care of myself."

The volunteers felt even more distressed, but they were helpless.

Mo Zhiyun said, "We understand, but we still hope that Du will think about it carefully. The brothers and sisters will do their best to help you. There is still some time before the school starts. If Du changes his mind or needs help, please feel free to ask us for help, okay?"

Du Yifeng nodded, "Okay, thank you brothers and sisters. I will never forget your help."

Mo Zhiyun nodded, and then the volunteers said a few more words to the boy and planned to leave.

Du Yifeng looked at Ye Chu hesitantly.

Ye Chu looked at Mo Zhiyun, and the latter nodded lightly.

Before the visit, Ye Chu told Mo Zhiyun that maybe Du Yifeng knew that she was a sponsor. In other words, if Du Yifeng had a different reaction to her this time when she came to visit, it would be completely certain.

Now, it goes without saying.

"Student Du, would you like to chat outside?" Ye Chu looked at Du Yifeng gently.

The boy nodded quickly.

Outside the house.

The two stood facing each other on the grass.

The boy was very tall, at least 1.8 meters tall, and stood facing Ye Chu, so Ye Chu had to look up at him.

Ye Chu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "How do you know I'm your sponsor?"

The boy was shy to begin with, and he became even more nervous when facing Ye Chu, and the atmosphere at the moment was inexplicably serious.

So the boy didn't dare to look at her directly, his eyes fell on the ground beside her, and he said obediently: "I heard about it from my classmates a few days ago, so I looked up your story on the Internet and guessed it myself. After seeing you today, I confirmed it."

Ye Chu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Can you tell me what your classmate's name is?"

Ye Chu felt that there was something strange, so he asked this question. After asking, he thought that after asking, he would go back and ask Qiao Sen to find out.

The boy didn't doubt it, and obediently reported the name of the classmate.

Ye Chu nodded gently, and then said: "I still hope you will consider it carefully. If you continue to go to college, I will continue to support you."

The boy's eyes dimmed again, but he still shook his head: "Miss Ye's concern, I appreciate it."

Ye Chu sighed and said softly: "I have a suggestion at the moment, would you like to hear it first?"

The boy nodded.

Ye Chu said: "Xiao Shi, you should know, right?"

"Yes."

"I can talk to Xiao Beichen about letting you work at Xiao's. With the salary and benefits of Xiao's, your family's financial situation will be greatly improved, and you may even be able to work part-time while studying."

Du's father is already in the advanced stage of lung cancer, and currently can only rely on drugs to hang on to his life. Du Yifeng's family has no relatives. If Du Yifeng does not go to work, the medical expenses will have nowhere to go.

The volunteer club can only help a little. Such huge medical expenses are indeed difficult to take care of.

Du Yifeng had no choice but to give up his studies.

If Du Yifeng joins Xiao's, even if it is an ordinary position, the salary and benefits are equivalent to giving him timely help.

But since Ye Chu has brought it up bluntly, he will definitely ask Xiao Beichen for a good position for Du Yifeng.

The opportunity is once in a lifetime.

However, Du Yifeng is unwilling.

Seeing Du Yifeng's unwilling expression, Ye Chu was extremely surprised.

Du Yifeng was actually struggling in his heart, otherwise he would have decisively refused, so he just looked unwilling.

Ye Chu asked directly: "You don't want to?"

The boy said in a low voice: "Yes, I don't want to."

Ye Chu: "Why?"
