Chapter 325 A Group of Little Beggars (Part 2)
Si Jinchen nodded: "Uncle, we understand."
"I have something else to do and can't stay here. I'll leave the rest to you." Miao Jiu raised his hand and rubbed their heads.
"Okay." The three children nodded obediently.
Because there are many new friends coming to the orphanage today, our classes are temporarily suspended today.
The older children helped to boil water, and the younger children helped to find clothes so that they could change into them soon.
After the children had their baths, their hair was of different lengths, so Yeobright trimmed their hair.
Juanjuan and the others were also helping out, but they had no way of getting involved in tasks like cutting hair and bathing.
So they went to the kitchen to help pick vegetables, a job they were very familiar with.
The aunt who came to the orphanage to help was all smiling when she saw them coming to help, but her smile faltered when she saw them picking vegetables.
She walked up to them and squatted down, picking up the edible food that had fallen on the ground and putting it in another bowl, and picked out the inedible food in their bowls.
"Master, Miss, each of these vegetables has different edible parts. This one can eat the leaves, but not the roots."
"Can't I eat it?" Juanjuan scratched her head embarrassedly.
"Yes, so we have to eat their leaves." Aunt taught them patiently.
The three children remembered this, and when they changed to another vegetable, they kept the leaves and discarded the roots.
My aunt almost wanted to cry, so she could only tell them every edible part and make sure they remembered it before leaving.
She was still worried, and turned her head back from time to time to make sure that the three of them had not made any more mistakes. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and start preparing the meal.
When the little beggars were sent to the orphanage, they looked reluctant. They were staying in the alley peacefully, but were caught.
No one knew what had happened, but these people sent them to an orphanage, where they were given baths and had their hair cut.
Now that they have new clothes to wear, they are a little uneasy, wondering whether they should wash them and sell them next.
They wanted to run outside while no one was paying attention, but they ran into a baby at the door.
"Brother and sister, where are you going?" Juanjuan blinked her big eyes and looked at them.
"You are going to sell us out, and yet you ask us where we are going?" a little beggar yelled at her and tried to push her.
I thought that after pushing her away, I could run away.
"Why should we sell you out?" Juanjuan looked at him in confusion.
Just as he was about to touch Juanjuan, he was stopped by the person behind him: "Listen to her."
"She looks like a lady from a wealthy family. Do you still trust these people?" The boy wanted to shake off his hand.
"Brother, Juanjuan didn't lie to you!" Juanjuan's face was full of question marks.
"You rich people are always cheating. I had a friend who was cheated by you before, and in the end he never came back." The boy's eyes were red.
A boy beside him stopped him and looked at Juanjuan: "We are not toys, and we don't need you to feed and clothe us. We are living well outside, please let us go."
"You can leave, but I hope you won't regret it after you leave." Si Jinchen came to Juanjuan's side at some point.
Juanjuan turned to look at him: "Brother."
"It doesn't matter. Everyone has their own choices. We just give them another opportunity to choose." Si Jinchen smiled and took her hand and stood aside.
A girl looked at the two of them and asked, "Can I ask what you are doing here?"
"Teach you how to read and learn medicine." Liu Yueya stood behind them and answered.
A group of little beggars turned to look at the child standing behind them, with confusion on their faces.
"You are lying to us." The boy at the beginning shouted at them.
Liu Yueya shrugged and turned to look at the other children in the orphanage: "You can ask them."
After she finished speaking, she also walked over to Si Jinchen and the others: "If you don't stay here willingly, it's useless to teach you."
"Yeah." Si Jinchen nodded in agreement.
The children in the orphanage looked at them and said: "Our lives were even harder than yours before. After coming to the orphanage, we learned to read and develop skills."
"The brothers and sisters who left here before have found jobs now, and they come to visit us whenever they have time."
"The Overseer will not sell us out. He gave us the ability to survive."
"Governor? You said this orphanage belongs to Governor Si?" The little beggar looked at them in surprise.
There are actually quite a few orphanages and charity halls in Beiyang City, but a large part of them were founded by major families.
So we can’t say that everything here is good, it may also be bad.
"Yes! If you don't believe it, you can go out to the hall and take a look." The children in the orphanage did not stop them.
Aunt Yao and the others stood far away and didn't stop you. The more you try to stop them, the more repulsive they become.
Just let them make their own choice. If they still choose to leave, she will talk to Jiu Ye again.
The little beggar walked out of the orphanage without hesitation.
Liu Yueya watched them leave: "Let's continue with the class!"
"Good!" The children in the orphanage were very happy.
When the weather is good, they have classes in the yard, but there is no sunlight in the yard in the afternoon.
Uncle Yao moved out their small blackboard and placed it in the yard.
The children in the orphanage ran back to their rooms, took out their notebooks and pens, and sat on small stools in the yard.
The desks are not ready yet, so the children can only put their notebooks on their laps.
Even so, they still wrote down what they learned today very seriously.
The little beggar who left did not go far away, but hid in the distance to watch.
Although they are well-informed on a daily basis, the owners of places like orphanages and charity halls do not often appear, so they don't know who the owner is.
"They are really learning to read." A little beggar looked at the children in the orphanage with surprise in his eyes.
The people around didn't say anything, just looked at each other, and then ran to various places to inquire about the situation.
Until they found out that Governor Si had killed Jiang Mei, the manager who had abused the children, and sent all the rescued children to an orphanage.
They even arranged jobs for the older children so that they could support themselves, and only then did they gradually come to believe that this was truly an orphanage built by the Governor's Office.
The group of little beggars looked at each other, and no one spoke first.
"I want to learn to read and learn some skills. I don't want to become a prostitute like my mother when I grow up." A girl said and walked towards the orphanage.
The other girls also caught up with the girl who had just left.
The boys looked at each other and were actually a little unsure whether they should go or not.
