"Why don't you... reconsider?" Zhang Yang looked at the child and said cautiously, "Today is the last day. As long as you persevere, you can..."
"Can't you understand me? I'll say it again, listen carefully." The child interrupted Zhang Yang, speaking slowly and deliberately: "I said, I give up my bet with my father, I admit defeat, I accept the trials he's arranged for me. Now, immediately! Send someone to call the police, have them come over and arrest her heartless parents and put them in jail. Then! Take her to the orphanage, settle her in properly, and have the orphanage staff take good care of her and raise her to adulthood!"
"Did you understand?"
"I understand!" Zhang Yang finally realized that the child in front of him was serious.
Calling the police to arrest someone is easy, but getting involved with the Tzu Chi Foundation... the people behind the Tzu Chi Foundation are all bloodsuckers. If Fifth Master provokes them for this kind of thing and they swarm around him like cats smelling fish, then it would really be a loss for him.
Although he followed Fifth Master, who was the least likely to get the position, he didn't want to...
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yang finally spoke up, saying, "Fifth Master, it's fine to have the police arrest her, but... are you sure this little girl wants to go to the orphanage? Once she's in the orphanage, she'll never have any freedom again. Even after she becomes an adult, she'll have to follow the Tzu Chi Foundation's arrangements in everything she does."
Although Tzu Chi is nominally a national charitable organization, the country is currently struggling financially, burdened with massive foreign debt after emerging from war. In reality, Tzu Chi is largely controlled by wealthy individuals and even foreign capital. Entering a Tzu Chi orphanage, while nominally a free individual, is essentially selling oneself to the people behind Tzu Chi.
"Uncle, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand..." Although Yun Duo was eager to find a way to survive, her heart skipped a beat when she heard what the man named Zhang Yang was saying. She felt that Tzu Chi was not so simple.
"It means that children raised by Tzu Chi will have to follow Tzu Chi's arrangements after they grow up, including but not limited to work and... marriage, that is, getting married and even... more extreme things." Zhang Yang said seriously, looking at the child in front of him. Although he was a little worried that she wouldn't understand, he thought that she was probably not too stupid since she would resist the 'marriage' arranged for her by her parents.
The cloud isn't a real child, so of course it understood.
Not only did she understand, she also wanted to curse him out.
So this so-called Tzu Chi Foundation's orphanage is a den of wolves?!
If she really goes in, it would be like escaping one tiger's den only to fall into another.
This is incredible!
"I won't go! Even if I die, I won't go!" Yun Duo clenched her little fists and said with utmost 'heroic' spirit. As she spoke, her stomach rumbled, reminding Yun Duo that although she had eaten some honey and temporarily replenished her energy, she was still very, very hungry.
At the same time, the child's stomach started growling.
In fact, children are very smart, so not only did Yun Duo understand Zhang Yang's words, but he did too. Just as he was feeling embarrassed, he heard his own stomach and Yun Duo's stomach start to rumble together in a duet. He decided not to hold back anymore and said directly, "I'm hungry. Since I've given up on the bet with my father, shouldn't you get me something to eat?"
He paused, then pointed to the clouds and said, "Only after I've eaten my fill can I think of a better way to settle her down."
