Chapter 80: Zhao Zhen's connection with Country R and the issue of support
Yuan Mingan walked out of the house holding Fuxin's hand, and saw Ji An standing at the door listening to the conversation outside and said, "Mr. Ji, why don't you come in now that you're here?"
Ji An pointed outside and said, "The two women outside are the little boy's mother and grandmother."
"Ah?" Yuan Mingan obviously had no prior knowledge of the situation. She said in confusion, "They told me that they found the child on the roadside and sent him here out of pity.
Because of this love, I often came to see the little boy. I thought the children in the orphanage were lacking love, and it would be good if someone cared about them, so I didn’t stop him.”
Ji An shook his head, "They even asked the little boy for nutritional supplements. The little boy saved three in five days, but they still felt it was not enough and slapped him."
Because of her daughter, Yuan Mingan can say that all children are her bottom line.
She instantly became very angry, like an old hen protecting her chicks. "I was wondering why the baby has been here for more than a month, but there is no flesh on her face. Other babies grow flesh in just three weeks.
A few days ago, the child looked like he was about to faint, but he recovered after drinking a nutritional supplement. I asked him why he didn't drink the nutritional supplement in time, but he refused to tell me. I thought he had been wandering for a long time and was afraid of being hungry, so he subconsciously hoarded food, thinking that he would be fine after staying here for a while. I didn't expect it was because of those two women. How shameless are they!"
Yuan Mingan angrily pushed the door open and shouted, "What are you doing?"
The two women shuddered with fear, and Ji An saw the old woman quickly put the nutritional supplement into her sleeve.
"I didn't do anything, I just came to see the child." The old woman had a shameless face, her expression was ingratiating and fawning, without a trace of the arrogance she had when she told the little boy that she would report Yuan Ming'an. "After all, we are the lifesavers of this child, and we have some affection for him. We came to see the child when we have nothing to do, because we hope he can live a good life. What do you think, isn't that right..." The old woman nudged her daughter-in-law with her elbow.
The daughter-in-law smiled humbly and flatteringly at Yuan Ming'an, "Yes, we just came here to take a look, and the child also wants us to come and see him, right..."
The young woman pinched the child's arm twice, thinking it was a covert move. The child didn't dare to cry out in pain, so in order to avoid being pinched again, he said, "Mother Yuan, I want them to come and see me."
Ji An walked down the stairs and lifted up the little boy's sleeve. The blue fingerprints were clearly left on the boy's arm. "You treat him like this. Why do you think he would want you to come and see him? Is it because you let him not eat enough every day and he has to save his nutrient solution for you, or is it because you are his mother and grandmother because of your blood relationship?"
The old woman froze for a moment, her face unnatural, and she denied awkwardly: "I don't know what you are talking about, young man. You can't just slander me just because we had a little conflict before!"
"Yes." The old woman said here, as if she had caught something, "Big sister, don't listen to his nonsense. He slandered me because he had a grudge against me before. He has a bad character. Don't you know that he hooked up with my tenant before? Everyone knows that my tenant is a whore, a secret prostitute who specializes in that kind of dirty business. Maybe the two of them are sleeping together now."
The old woman pinched her nose in disgust, as if she smelled something strange from Ji An. She fanned herself and deliberately took two steps away. "Sister, I kindly advise you to stay away from this kind of person. He may be sick!"
The young lady also took two steps back, as if she would be infected with a strange disease if she got close to Ji An.
Yuan Mingan stared at Ji An with his eyes wide open, and said in disbelief: "You two are really ignorant and fearless. Do you know who he is? How dare you slander him like this!"
The two women were confused, but then the old woman showed an indifferent expression and whispered: "He hasn't even fully grown his hair yet, how can he be a powerful person? He just looks good. He must have awakened his superpowers, otherwise with this disaster-inducing appearance, who knows where he would end up, how would people play with him..."
Yuan Mingan heard the old woman muttering more and more excessively, so he interrupted and said, "I tell you, he is the hero who single-handedly saved all the children from the human traffickers!
He is also a researcher at our base. He developed the space storage equipment that you can't afford in your entire life!"
A space storage item is such a valuable item that a low-level person like the old woman certainly cannot afford, but it is impossible for her not to have heard of this hot item.
The old woman even slandered the space storage tool in private, saying that it could never be the magical thing as rumored, and that it must be exaggerated and designed to deceive rich people.
No matter how it was arranged privately, the old woman knew one fact clearly in her heart, that is, the developer of the space storage props must be a very, very rich person!
The young woman looked at Ji An in surprise, then silently took two steps back, smoothed her messy hair, revealing a face that she thought was beautiful, and looked at Ji An shyly.
She thought she had done all this in secret, but she didn't expect that everything was seen by the old woman. The old woman pinched the young woman's arm fiercely, and that was not enough. She twisted it 360 degrees, as if she wanted to twist a piece of flesh off the young woman's arm.
The little woman screamed in pain, tears in her eyes, and looked at Ji An sadly.
Ji An had a serious face and didn't even glance at the two people's little movements.
Yuan Mingan continued, "To tell you the truth, this Salesian Home was first initiated by Mr. Ji. At that time, Mr. Ji wanted to personally bear all the expenses of the Salesian Home. Later, our commander-in-chief felt that this should be the responsibility of the base, so the base took it over.
But even so, Mr. Ji still donates huge amounts of money to the Salesian Home every year in his personal name. Even the nutritional supplements that all the children in the Salesian Home eat are purchased with Mr. Ji’s money.”
Yuan Ming'an raised his chin, stood on the stairs and looked down at the old woman, saying: "I told you so much just to tell you that Mr. Ji is not a person you can smear at will! And if Mr. Ji is prejudiced against you and doesn't want to accept the child you sent, there is no need to find any reason, just a word, you understand!"
The old woman understood, but was speechless.
It was not convenient for Ji An to search the body, but he had mental power, so he used it to cut off the old woman's cuffs. The nutrient solution that the old woman had put in her arms in a hurry fell to the ground.
The old woman lowered her head and hurried to pick it up, but Yuan Mingan was even faster. He walked over in three or two steps, picked up the nutrient supplement on the ground that the old woman had not had time to pick up, and snatched the one she had picked up from her hand.
"Give it back to me!" the old woman screamed and rushed towards Yuan Mingan madly, as if Yuan Mingan wanted her life instead of taking back something that belonged to the orphanage.
Ji An used his psychic power to knock the old woman who rushed towards Yuan Mingan to the ground. Ji An looked at the old woman coldly and said, "Who gave you the courage to fight with a psychic?"
The old woman seemed to realize at this moment that the two people in front of her were not her ordinary neighbors without special powers who she could not beat or scold at will.
The old woman realized that she couldn't win, so she didn't get up. She just lay on the ground crying and howling, and said shamelessly: "I don't want to live anymore, let me die, everyone come and see, there is a superpower bullying here, the base has stipulated that superpowers cannot use their privileges on ordinary people at will, but this person dared to do this, is there no one to intervene? I want to report it with my real name!"
Ji An's eyes were filled with coldness and snow, "I advise you to get up right now!"
The old woman thought Ji An was scared, and looked at him smugly and said, "If you use your superpowers on ordinary people in the base, you will be kicked out. What, are you scared now? I tell you, it's too late!"
The old woman proudly made a three gesture to Ji An, "You have to compensate me with thirty, no, three hundred nutrient supplements, and then this matter will be over, otherwise I will report you to the patrol team!"
Ji An's eyes were as cold as the icebergs in Antarctica that had not melted for a hundred years. He walked towards the old woman step by step. The old woman shrank back involuntarily because of his imposing manner. "What are you going to do? I tell you, you can't escape even if you kill me. Our base has the strictest discipline."
However, Ji An did not want to kill anyone. Instead, he put a work badge in front of the old woman and said, "Recognize the words. See what is written on it?"
The old woman's eyes were blurry and she couldn't see clearly. The young woman read out the words one by one: "With this card, you are not restricted by Article 32 of the base. You can use your supernatural powers on ordinary people. If you determine there is danger, you can kill first and report later. The safety of the person holding this card is the first priority!"
When the young woman read this, he and the old woman turned pale with fright, and looked at Ji An in horror.
Ji An smiled at this time, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all, and there was a sense of coldness in them.
The old woman and the young woman were frightened by the smile and trembled. The old woman did not dare to continue to act like a rogue. She quickly got up from the ground and ran towards home without paying any attention to the young woman. When the young woman saw her mother-in-law running away, she wanted to run away too.
"Wait!" Ji An stopped them, "Don't bother this kid again!"
The old woman was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She refused to accept the request and said, "Why? He is my eldest grandson!"
Ji An sneered, "Then you can take her home and raise her!"
The old woman stiffened her neck and said, "My family can't afford to raise him. If I could, I wouldn't want to send him to that shabby place of yours to suffer the pain of separation from his own flesh and blood!"
"The base paid to help you raise your children, and then when the children were able to earn money, you turned around and took them back. How could you think that nothing would happen?" Ji An sneered.
The young woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Ji An pitifully, "Anyway, your place is a place to raise children, and you are doing good deeds anyway, and this child won't hurt you, right? Little brother, I know you are a good person, so please help me!"
The old woman glared at her daughter-in-law fiercely, but did not interrupt the young woman.
Ji An said: "I will make it clear to you today that the base's orphanage will never raise children for anyone. If this child is sent to the orphanage, he will be an orphan without a father or a mother, and he will not have to fulfill his responsibility to raise his biological parents.
If the biological parents cause trouble in the future, the base can prosecute them for abandonment."
"Why? We are his family!" the old woman said sharply, "He has to support us. You don't have the final say! There is no such law in the base!"
"Now we have it." Ji An said, "I will propose it to the base, and you can rest assured that it will be approved. This orphanage was opened at my initiative, and I can disband it on the spot with just one word, let alone such a small matter.
I hadn’t thought of this before, thanks for reminding me!”
The old woman was at a loss as to what to do. She couldn't beat him, so she acted like a scoundrel. People could just beat her to death, and she could only stare at Ji An angrily.
The little woman sobbed and said, "You can't do this to me. To you, she is just a child. It's just a matter of having one more bite of food..."
Ji An sneered, "So what? Why should the base raise your children for nothing? What have you contributed to the base? You are just a bunch of leeches that only know how to suck blood from people!"
Ji An said to the old woman and the young woman, "Now I give you two choices. Either you take the child away now and return all the nutritional supplements that were taken from the orphanage. Or you leave the child in the orphanage and don't harass him anymore. The child will not take care of you even for a day when he grows up."
The old woman asked, "Why should we pay back for what he ate?"
"You'll be the one to take care of him in his old age!"
The old woman wanted to say something but she didn't dare to twist it into Ji An's cold eyes. "No, no, we don't have it. At worst, I won't come to see him anymore."
As she spoke, the old woman grabbed the young woman by the collar and walked towards home.
Ji An stood behind the two of them and directly exposed the old woman's little thoughts, "Don't think that you can wait for your children to grow up and then come to him for retirement. I will propose it to the base when I go back, and the base will be able to issue a law in the next few days.
If you come and harass the child and say these words to him again, the orphanage will have the right to sue you for abandonment!
Likewise, when the child grows up, if you dare to harass the child, the Salesian Home will have the right to sue you. Don't worry, I will fight for the maximum sentence for you."
The old woman glared at Ji An and pointed at the little boy, "Tell him that you volunteered to raise us!"
Just as the little boy was about to nod, Ji An said, "He doesn't have that right. He was raised by the Salesian Home, and he still owes the Salesian Home money for raising him. What qualifications does he have to make decisions for the Salesian Home?
He has no control over the matter of the Salesian Home suing you, and he cannot do anything about it.
As for him, whatever money he spent on the Salesian Home, he will have to pay back to the Salesian Home with interest when he grows up."
"You didn't raise me for nothing, you have to pay me back!" The old woman looked cheated.
"Of course, there is no free lunch in the world!" Ji An had thought about this when he opened the orphanage.
When the children grow up, they have to repay the orphanage every month for their upbringing. However, the amount of the monthly repayment is determined based on each child’s income at the time, and the children will not go without food.
Only in this way can we cultivate a grateful heart in children and prevent them from taking the help of others for granted.
As for the children who have objections to this, Ji An can only say that he should pay back the money. People who don't know how to be grateful can only be regarded as ungrateful people raised by the orphanage.
As for the matter of supporting parents, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really gave Ji An a good reminder.
This must be passed by law, otherwise in this last days, there will be more people like this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who will try to abandon their children to orphanages, and then take the children back when they grow up to be filial to them!
Why? This is unfair to the children, and even more unfair to the Salesian Institute that raised them!
Therefore, Ji An intends to propose that parents who fail to fulfill their obligation to raise their children will not enjoy the obligation to support their children. If they force their parents to do so, the orphanage or base can sue the parents for abandonment. If they want their children to be supported, they can stay in there for a few years. Of course, don't think that you can get support from your children after you stay in there for a few years. That is impossible. The children still don't need support. If you continue to make trouble, you will go back to jail.
This is also to prevent some children from achieving great things. Those shameless parents think that they can stay in prison for a few years and then come out to enjoy their children's wealth and glory, and that this deal is worth it.
However, considering that this is the end of the world and it is indeed difficult to raise a child, Ji An plans to propose to the orphanage that it can accept children with biological parents. The condition is that once the child enters the orphanage, the legal relationship with the parents is severed and the child has no obligation to support the parents in the future.
Parents who truly love their children but cannot afford to raise them will definitely be willing to do so. Those who are unwilling must have some purpose.
Even though Ji An explained everything to the old woman and the young woman, neither of them took the little boy away.
Ji An turned around and hugged the little boy. His voice was no longer as cold as an iceberg. "Let's go back. You just heard our conversation. From now on, you will have nothing to do with them! You don't have to save nutrients for them, and you don't have to support them when they grow up!"
When the old woman and the young woman heard Ji An's words, they glared at him angrily, but no one dared to say a word.
The little boy wiped his tears, looked at the two women who heard this but still did not intend to take him away, and nodded.
"From now on, the Salesian Home will be your home. When you grow up, you just need to repay it."
Ji An closed the door of the orphanage, blocking the two women from view.
Little Rose and Little Stone had been waiting there with the little tiger cub and the big tiger in their arms. As soon as Ji An came back, they pounced on him. Ji An smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and his bad mood was instantly swept away.
After asking Little Stone and Little Rose about their studies and abilities, Ji An gave Big Tiger some spiritual spring water mixed with ordinary water.
Yuan Mingan couldn't wait any longer. He looked at Ji An expectantly and asked, "Mr. Ji, have you borrowed the treatment cabin?"
Yuan Mingan didn't know that the treatment cabin was invented by Ji An, and thought that Ji An borrowed it from the inventor.
Ji An said: "I brought it. It just so happens that the severed limbs collected from the children have been cultured. I brought them all. I will let all the children come out in a while, especially those who were rescued from the traffickers. They must be on the scene again."
"What are you going to do?"
Ji An said: "Since they are unwilling to speak, then we should force them. Only children who take the initiative to speak can receive treatment."
"But will this..."
"No buts." Ji An said firmly, "Do you know how crazy people are outside for the nutritional treatment? Such a rare opportunity, these children can easily get it, but they just say what I want, but they won't agree.
If you don't correct them in time, once they develop the bad habit of telling them everything without saying anything, they will not be able to speak in the future and will just take it for granted."
Ji An looked at Yuan Mingan, "They are pitiful, but it is not us, let alone the Salesian Home, who caused all this. On the contrary, the Salesian Home and we are their benefactors. We don't owe them anything, but they owe us.
We can slowly heal their psychological trauma, but we also need to teach them what gratitude is.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Yuan Mingan gathered the children together, and Ji An released the treatment cabin in public. The children recognized this thing, they had seen it on TV, and they all knew that this thing could help them recover their lost limbs. They all looked at Ji An with expectant eyes.
Ji An pretended not to see it, and then said to the children below: "This is the treatment cabin. I believe you all know its function. Who wants to be treated now? Raise your hand to sign up."
"Me!" Fu Xin raised her hand and spoke with Yuan Ming'an's encouragement.
Ji An smiled and said softly, "Okay, come up now."
Fu Xin was a little scared, so Yuan Mingan encouraged her. Fu Xin finally walked up and lay down in the treatment cabin by herself.
The treatment took a very short time, only a few minutes, and Fuxin came out a complete and healthy child.
Since she could remember, Fu Xin had never known what it felt like to have two legs and two arms. This was her first time to experience having four healthy limbs. She just felt that the feeling was wonderful and good, a happiness she could not express in words.
Fu Xin probably didn't even know that her face was already full of tears. It was the first time she walked on two legs, and she walked crookedly. Even so, she was very happy. She also tried to pick up things with her new arms. Seeing her new arms holding things steadily, Fu Xin seemed to have seen something new and surprising.
"Mom, look, look at it..." Fuxin cried and laughed.
Yuan Mingan covered her mouth and said, "Mom has seen it. My Fuxin is now a healthy child, just like other children."
Little Stone and Little Rose ran up and said, "Sister Fuxin, from now on you can play rubber bands and balls with us, and you can also take physical education classes. That's great."
Fu Xin was still a little closed off. She didn't dare talk to Xiao Shitou and Xiao Meigui, so she hid herself in Yuan Mingan's arms.
Yuan Mingan encouraged Fu Xin, "Your sister and brother invited you to play because they like you. You have to talk to them, otherwise they will be sad and think you don't like them, and they will cry when they go back."
Little Stone immediately said, "Yes, I will feel very uncomfortable if you ignore me when I talk to you."
Yuan Mingan encouraged Fu Xin for a long time before Fu Xin whispered, "Thank you."
Little Rose held the much-grown tiger cub in her arms and said with a smile, "It's okay. We like Sister Fuxin and want to play with you."
Fu Xin looked at Little Rose with her big eyes, then looked at the little tiger cub in her arms, and whispered, "Can I, can I touch it?"
Little Rose said: "Yes, it is very well behaved and won't bite."
Little Rose brought the little tiger cub closer, and Fu Xin touched the little tiger cub with her newly grown arm, with a look of surprise in her eyes.
The big tiger swung its tail at this time and walked over slowly, rubbing Fuxin's legs vaguely. Fuxin felt it and stared with big eyes.
Yuan Mingan knew that the blue-eyed winged tiger in the orphanage was very human-like and never hurt the children. Sometimes it would even protect them, so he said, "You touch it. It wants you to touch it, too."
It can be seen that Fuxin was very scared, but her desire to pet the plush ball prevailed. She overcame her fear and touched the big ball twice.
As expected, furry things are the best weapon to heal children's psychological trauma. Ji An thought again and decided that he should go back and find a beastmaster to specially train a group of mutant cats or dogs, which might help the children's mental health.
"Now, who still wants to be cured?" Ji An asked.
This time the children just stared at Ji An, their mouths clenched tightly like clams, refusing to make a sound.
Ji An asked many times, but the children didn't answer. The psychologist even encouraged them for a long time, but it didn't work.
Ji An said, "Well, since no one wants treatment, I'll take it away."
After Ji An finished speaking, he really stood up and closed the treatment cabin. A little girl saw that Ji An was really going to leave, and she became anxious. She overcame her psychological barriers and said, "I, I also want healthy limbs and eyes."
One of the little girl's eyes had been blinded by the traffickers. Ji An immediately put on a gentle smile, and Yuan Mingan also walked over with Fu Xin to comfort the little girl in a soft voice.
The little girl lay in the treatment cabin and came out in just two minutes.
The cured little girl saw through the mirror that she had healthy and beautiful eyes and healthy limbs, and she burst into tears. Ji An, Yuan Mingan, Little Rose and Little Stone were all comforting her. She then took the initiative to ask to touch the little tiger cub and the big tiger, and Ji An met her requests.
"Anything else?" Ji An thought that after two good starts, there would definitely be more to come. However, the children were so eager to overflow, but they just didn't say anything.
Ji An sighed, turned around and closed the treatment cabin. He really didn't help the other children with their treatment.
The children’s disappointment is obvious, but they just won’t say a word. They won’t even say a word when something is within their grasp. Do they really want someone to send things to them? If they develop this habit in the future, what will the children do?
Anyway, the treatment cabin was his, and the children could be cured anytime they wanted, so it didn't take a long time. Ji An simply packed up his things and left.
Little Stone, Little Rose, the little tiger cub, the blue-eyed winged tiger, and Yuan Ming'an and his mother saw him to the door. When they parted, Fu Xin thanked Ji An for the first time, and Yuan Ming'an shed tears of joy again.
Ji An did not go home directly after returning, but went to the command center.
He planned to discuss with Gu Jinsheng the issue of support between the children in the orphanage and their biological parents.
Gu Jinsheng was very busy, and Ji An waited for a long time before Gu Jinsheng finally squeezed out time to meet Ji An.
