Chapter 105 Going to the Orphanage
Shen Yiming was indeed not angry, but rather felt comforted.
He had always been worried that this girl was too vindictive and might easily go astray.
Now I find that he knows how to behave and act in moderation, and I no longer doubt his character.
As for the welfare home...
He did know some of the problems, and the root cause was still limited resources.
In addition, the dean was a bit greedy for money, so naturally he had to be very calculative, such as withholding food and the like.
However, there are no problems with illegal or criminal activities.
So the commune just turned a blind eye.
He told the two of them the truth about the situation.
Gu Mingyue and Bai Zhonghuai understood.
The director of the orphanage is greedy for money, but because he is timid, he dare not go too far. At most, he orders the children to work more and eat less.
But if you arrange for someone else, no one will be able to tell whether the other person is a human or a ghost in a short period of time, so it is better to ignore it.
Since ancient times, there have been countless vicious incidents in welfare homes.
Trafficking in children is a minor matter. What we fear most is organizing promiscuous and disorderly activities, which would be a disaster for the children.
For example, the later movie Crucible only captured the tip of the iceberg, which is still creepy.
What about those that were not filmed? It’s hard to imagine!
Gu Mingyue doesn't have the ability to be a savior, so she has to weigh the pros and cons whenever she tries to be kind.
Not to mention asking her to take responsibility for someone else's life, she absolutely does not have that ability.
So she said to Shen Yiming frankly, "Everyone has their own destiny, and I have no ability to change it. Just like Niu Wazi, I only give advice. If he is not diligent and motivated, I still can't help him. I am not a Buddha, and I can't be a Buddha. I can't save the world, I can only save myself."
Niu Wazi said earnestly, "I will work hard to take good care of my brothers and sisters. Director, please help me."
Shen Yiming didn't hide anything and said directly to Gu Mingyue, "Orphanages generally adopt and place children for adoption. Adoption is not recommended. You have a nephew at home, and you are unmarried, so you don't meet the policy.
Adoption means that the welfare institution declares that they are unable to support the child, and they personally issue a certificate to send the child to a family or local welfare institution that they recognize. However, the disadvantage of this method is that even if an agreement is signed, if the welfare institution wants to find them, they can go at any time;
I personally recommend the third method. Now the country encourages all regions and villages to accept people and allow residents to migrate. As long as there is no problem with their identity, the migration site accepts them, and the welfare home agrees to release them, everything can be solved by getting a migration permit, provided that the welfare home is willing to release them. "
Gu Mingyue was also more satisfied with the third one.
After obtaining Niu Wazi's consent, the relocation was decided, and then they took a bus to the welfare home together.
The old iron railings, mottled walls, and overgrown weeds all show the dilapidated state of the orphanage.
Before getting off the car, Gu Mingyue told Niu Wazi, "We will act according to the plan. No matter what happens, you just need to firmly say that you will not leave. Leave the rest to me. Also, what I say and do is just acting. Don't let your imagination run wild and force yourself to do it. Remember?"
Niu Wazi nodded obediently and said, "I'll remember it."
After getting off the car, he grabbed a few handfuls of dirt from the ground, shook it and rubbed it on the three people, making sure they were covered in dirt.
When he reached the gate, Gu Mingyue took a breath, gathered his strength, and kicked the gate open with a bang.
The door quickly bounced open and hit the wall, making a crisp 'bang' sound.
Gu Mingyue shouted, "Where are the people? Where did they die? Get out here. If I don't make you pay me back today, I will write my last name backwards."
The chef, who came over from the corner and saw Niu Wazi, thought of how he had been waiting for him to peel potatoes this morning but he was nowhere to be seen.
She cooked late and was scolded by the dean.
Just as he was about to question the culprit, he immediately backed off when he saw this scene and quickly turned around and ran to the dean's office.
"Dean, Dean, something terrible has happened."
The director of the welfare home is named Zhang Juan. She is currently figuring out how to squeeze some more money out of the welfare home’s expenses and put it into her own pocket.
At this time, the chef's voice was heard shouting.
She kept complaining, "This old aunt likes to get startled all the time. She can't cook or do housework. If it weren't for the fact that they don't have to pay for food delivery, I would have given her the money."
The head chef’s surname is Zhang, her given name is Hongmei, and she is the dean’s cousin.
After a while, she ran in breathlessly and said, "Juanzi, it's bad, someone is knocking on the door."
I was just about to remind my aunt to call her the dean in the courtyard, but when I heard this, I frowned and asked, "What do you mean by knocking on my door?"
Zhang Hongmei said exaggeratedly, "Oh, don't ask anymore, go out and take a look. They said they want to demolish our place. I saw Niu Wazi is here too, maybe he got into some big trouble. I said he can't learn well if he hangs out with hooligans every day. I should have known not to even give him a place to sleep."
Zhang Juan complained in her heart: I never saw you being disgusted when I asked Niu Wazi to do the work.
But didn't Niu Wazi take Erniu to see a doctor?
It's not that she didn't know how serious Erniu's illness was. The reason she lied about it was that she knew the other party knew a rich old lady, and she believed that the other party would not sit idly by since she valued Niu Wazi so much.
The people in that alley are well off, and any money leaking through their fingers is enough to pay for medical treatment.
As for Niu Wazi, he is good at cooking, cleaning, and helping to take care of the children in the orchard... He doesn't need to rely on the orchard for meals and only comes back to sleep at night.
How could she possibly chase away such a good worker?
My aunt is really short-sighted.
Seeing that she had not gotten to the point after talking for a long time, Zhang Juan decided to go out and take a look in person.
Before she could leave, the office door was kicked open.
"Which one of you is the dean?"
Zhang Hongmei quickly hid in the corner...
Looking at the middle-aged woman in Lenin suit in the field.
Gu Mingyue didn't wait for her to speak, and grabbed Niu Wazi by the collar and asked, "Okay, I said you were lying, didn't you say the dean was not here? Who is this? Is he a ghost? Or is he shameless?"
Zhang Juan looked unhappy, and felt that the other party was hinting at something, but she didn't know the man, so she suppressed her anger and asked, "Comrade, please talk nicely if you have anything to say. Don't use force. I just came back from a meeting."
Gu Mingyue pushed the little boy beside him to the front and said arrogantly, "Okay, today, let's talk about it. Are the children in your welfare home not supported by the government or are they not taken care of? How can they stop cars on the street when they are sick? Do you know how expensive my uncle's car is? Do you know how important my face is? Do you know how much this set of clothes of mine costs?
Now, the car is scratched, my face is bruised, and there are my clothes. The kid in your yard grabbed my clothes and begged me to save his sister. I have mysophobia and never wear dirty clothes. Come on, let's settle the accounts. Do you want to settle it publicly or privately?"
Zhang Juan didn't expect Niu Wazi to ask for help from a stranger, and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you go to your mother-in-law?"
Gu Mingyue secretly raised her eyebrows. Ha! This dean, the abacus beads are about to fall on her face.
After exchanging a glance with Bai Zhonghuai, he also reacted and his face darkened slightly. They were being taken advantage of.
Niu Wazi was still young and didn't understand much. He just thought the dean was blaming him, so he replied in a muffled voice, "My mother-in-law was taken away by his son."
Zhang Juan knew she was in the wrong, so she humbly asked Gu Mingyue, "I don't know what you mean by public and private settlement?"
"Public settlement means reporting to the police and the commune, reporting the affairs of your welfare home to the general public, and letting the people judge. Private settlement means compensating me for all my losses, including car repairs, clothes, medical expenses, as well as my lost wages, mental damages, and potential internal injuries."
Zhang Juan quickly said, "Wait, wait, I understand the loss of work, but what do you mean by loss of money and potential injury?"
