Chapter 274 Someone Abandoned the Child
The most difficult things to deal with in this world are the wills of elders, mutual suspicion between brothers, and disobedience to management... Actually, it's understandable if you think about it.
After the elders passed away, the brothers each started their own families, and with more people there were naturally more worries. It was better to separate them to save both worry and trouble.
The only difficulty is that the person entrusted with the task is always a little passive.
Dai Qing let it go after she sighed. After all, it was someone else's business and no matter how it was handled, she had no right to interfere.
After dinner, Dai Qing digested the food a bit, then practiced boxing and mental skills in the yard to restore her consumed strength to peak condition.
The next day, after breakfast, Dai Qing went to the small commodity city, bought some snacks and some stationery, prepared 500 yuan, and took the bus to the suburban orphanage.
I haven't seen my children for a while and I miss them very much.
Before reaching the orphanage, Dai Qing saw a group of people gathered at the door from a distance. She couldn't help but frown. She had been here so many times, but this was the first time she had seen such a lively scene.
"President Li, please have mercy on us and take Zhaodi in."
"Mother Zhaodi, please don't make things difficult for me. The child is fine, why send him to an orphanage? A child without parental companionship will be traumatized."
"I don't care whether she's injured or not, as long as she has something to eat. If this girl stays at home any longer, she'll starve to death. Just consider this as a favor."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people watching the excitement nearby also nodded.
"President Li, what Zhao Di's mother said is right. Her husband only wants to have a son, and the daughter doesn't want to raise him for a single day."
"Girls are money losers. Even if they can work, they are beaten every day and have neither enough to eat nor warm clothes to wear. Zhaodi is almost nine years old, but she is not as strong as other children of six or seven years old."
Listening to the tone of the crowd, Dean Li frowned and looked at the child kneeling in front of him. His expression was full of heartache, but he was helpless.
Once this door is opened, it will be difficult for the orphanage to have peace in the future.
Dai Jing stood aside, watching the scene in front of her, pursing her lips as she looked at the bustling crowd around her. She understood Dean Li's dilemma, as everything has a second chance.
Although the government advocates equality for all and that having a boy or a girl is the same, behind the slogan, many families still favor boys over girls. The situation is even more serious in remote villages.
She once heard Mao Yanyan mention that families who wanted to have sons would either give away or secretly throw away daughters after they were born, which was very pitiful.
Dean Li looked at Zhaodi and her daughter and sighed.
"The children in the orphanage are all disabled and homeless. Besides, life in the orphanage is not easy. They often run out of food. You all know that."
When Dean Li said this, everyone nodded. They all knew that none of the children in the orphanage were complete, and they looked pitiful.
"It's hard for me to support these children. If it weren't for the help of kind-hearted people, our orphanage would have collapsed long ago. In this situation, how can we accept more people?"
"Besides, Zhaodi is a healthy child who can already help with household chores. It would be a shame to send her away at this time."
Girls from rural families are unable to work and are thin, so they are also despised.
That being said, due to some policy restrictions, many families will still try to find ways to take shortcuts in order to have a son.
Some people couldn't bear to watch this and tried to persuade Zhao Di's mother.
"Hey, please don't make it difficult for Dean Li. It's not easy for them either. Look at the children in the hospital. They are so pitiful."
"Yes, Zhaodi is already nine years old. You can raise her for another seven or eight years and then find a suitable family to marry her off. You will be a relative in the future. Why do you have to give her away?"
"Who says it's not true? Life is tight and we can get through it with a little bit of grit. If you really want to give it away, it will be too late if you regret it later."
"You guys can talk without any worries, but I can't bear to hurt my own child. If I hadn't really had no other choice, I wouldn't have come to Dean Li for help."
As Zhaodi's mother said this, she knelt down in front of Dean Li.
"President Li, just accept Zhaodi. No matter whether she becomes good or bad in the future, I will no longer recognize her. I promise not to cause any trouble to you guys."
When these words were spoken, not only Dean Li was shocked, but even the people watching the excitement had different expressions.
Although there are many families who send their children to their parents privately, it is rare to see them speak out without any scruples, and it is also looked down upon.
Dai Qing looked at Dean Li in embarrassment, took a step forward, frowned and looked at Zhaodi's mother, her eyes fell on her abdomen, and her expression was understanding.
No wonder he wanted to give his daughter away, it turns out he was pregnant again.
"You talk nicely. You can force Dean Li to take your daughter in now, and then you can kneel down and cry like this. You can rely on your status as a mother to take your daughter in, and I can refuse you, so what?"
"You favor boys over girls and want to give your daughter away. If everyone follows your example, wouldn't Director Li's orphanage be overcrowded?"
"You know that the children in the orphanage are all poor and have physical defects. If you can't run the business, what will you do with these children?"
Dai Qing said, looking at her face out of professional habit.
The corners of the mouth are blurred, the mouth is shaped like a broken boat, and the lips are dark red like the color of beef. People with a boat mouth will be poor and miserable all their lives. Moreover, their philtrum is narrow, their descendants will suffer, and it will be difficult for them to do things.
Such a person is not only poor in life, but also poor in heart.
Dean Li's eyes lit up when he saw Dai Qing, "Xiao Qing, you're here."
Dai Qing nodded and looked at Zhao Di's mother.
"If you make trouble again, I will ask my friends from the police station to come. If they find that someone has deliberately abandoned a child, they will definitely take him back for investigation. If the circumstances are serious, not only will he be detained, but he will also have to go to jail."
Dean Li: “…”
This girl is so naughty that she even dares to scare people.
Sure enough, Zhaodi's mother's angry look suddenly disappeared after hearing the last part. She just wanted to find a place for her daughter to eat, but she didn't want to be arrested by the police.
The others looked at Dai Qing who suddenly appeared, and then looked at the two large bags she was carrying, their eyes flickering.
"Where are you from, little girl? Why are you so angry? Mother Zhaodi had no choice but to come to Dean Li for help."
Dai Qing glanced at the woman who had spoken and curled her lips, "You can't just give your child away unless you have no other choice. Abandoning a child is a crime."
Zhaodi, who was kneeling beside her, kept her head down and didn't react at all no matter what others said.
Zhaodi's mother turned pale, turned her head to look at her daughter, raised her hand and hit her, "You dead girl, you are a disaster, because of you, our family is almost broken up."
Dai Qing: “…”
Some people really aren't fit to be mothers.
"Mother Zhaodi, you can't say that to your child. It will burden the child."
