A woman with braided pigtails pricked up her ears to listen to what was happening over there!
Upon hearing the words "orphanage," her eyes lit up. She pushed aside the people around her and approached Lu Zhiye and the others, saying, "You want to know about the orphanage in the north of the city, right?"
My house is just across the street from that orphanage, I know the situation there very well!
Lu Zhiye watched the older woman with great interest, while Wen Sihe grabbed a handful of fruit candies from the front desk and stuffed them into the woman's hand: "Sister, come on, try some of these newly bought fruit candies!"
The eldest sister laughed so hard her eyes were almost closed, stuffed all the fruit candies into her pocket, and began to talk non-stop: "The orphanage in the north of the city is almost going out of business!"
Sigh, it's a real tragedy. The person in charge now is a retired veteran!
At first, major factories sent things to the orphanage.
Later on, the number of children in the orphanage increased!
That big company cut off half of the benefits they provided there!
It went from being delivered twice a month to once a month.
Wen Sihe was a little puzzled: "Shouldn't these arrangements be made by the community?"
The amount of supplies each major factory donates to the orphanage every month is fixed; how could that be changed?
The older woman was spitting everywhere, and Lu Zhiye wiped his face, unable to resist turning to the side.
"What is an orphanage? Aren't only those without parents considered orphans?"
But some people think that life in an orphanage is better than life at home!
In addition, they wanted a son, but didn't want their daughter, so they threw her at the gate of the orphanage!
Several babies froze to death in the dead of winter before!
You tell me about those babies who were only a few days old, frozen blue all over in the freezing cold!
Isn't this a complete disaster?
The director of the orphanage could no longer tolerate it and went directly to the local street office to discuss the matter.
The orphanage is only so big, how can it accommodate so many children?
Besides, this requires manpower!
But the salary there is only 20 yuan a month, which is equivalent to being a temporary worker in the factory.
There's no chance of getting a permanent position yet, so tell me, who would want to do it?
The number of children far exceeded the capacity of the orphanage, and the director of the orphanage reported the issue to higher authorities, but to no avail!
Eventually, they had no choice but to release the older children who were able to walk!
With their skills and the monthly allowance from the community, they should at least not starve!
Oh, what a tragedy! Those kids who led us here were born around that time!
You tell me, how do you find the energy to take care of both the older and younger children at an orphanage?
There's been talk of building an orphanage in the south of the city, but for some reason, it's never been built!
This caused everyone to be sent to the north of the city; the babies couldn't be abandoned, and the adults couldn't be raised...
