370: Chapter 370: First Encounter with the Twelve Blood Generals (3)
Ah Si’s words sowhat moved Ah Yi, who weighed the pros and cons, then begrudgingly nodded in agreent.
“Miss, please see if you can help Mother Huang even if it’s just to prolong her life a bit!” Ah Yi looked earnestly at An Yiqing and spoke sincerely.
An Yiqing nodded and stepped towards the orphanage.
The boys hurriedly followed behind her.
Along the way, An Yiqing learned about many things from these boys that weren’t recorded in any docunts.
Huang Fen had adopted over thirty children.
The oldest among them was Ah Yi, twenty-two years old, and the youngest was just three.
Because there were so many children, Huang Fen had no choice but to na so naless children by assigning them numbers according to their age, from Ah Yi, Ah Er, up to eighteen, nineteen.
In this orphanage, there were a total of nineteen children who had beco orphans before they had nas.
Over the years, Huang Fen had dedicated herself to these children with all her heart.
Her inco was not much, just a modest salary.
In her spare ti, she would even take on part-ti jobs.
Even so, due to limited capabilities, Ah Yi and Ah Er, who had just finished high school at the ti, had no choice but to drop out and enter society, sothing that Huang Fen greatly regretted.
Since Ah Yi and Ah Er started working, life improved slightly for everyone.
But they still couldn’t escape the fate of their younger siblings having to drop out after finishing high school.
There was no choice; college tuition was too expensive, and the cost of living for over thirty children was already a huge expense, which the orphanage simply couldn’t afford.
However, fortunately, though they were poor in money, Huang Fen was rich in spirit, and all the children she raised had proper values and a strong will.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Huang Fen’s stomach cancer had reached a late stage and she couldn’t afford the expensive dical bills, Ah Si and the others would not have resorted to robbery.
Listening to their stories, An Yiqing was moved.
She glanced at Ah Si with a smile and teased, “I guess I’m lucky to have been your first robbery target.”
Ah Si’s face flushed with embarrassnt, and the tall young man beca flustered like a rabbit, hurriedly waving his hands as he said, “You’ve got it wrong, we didn’t an to pick on girls!
Our place is remote, and only poor people co and go.
I didn’t want to make a move on those uncles and aunties.
Seeing you get out of a luxury car made
think of it.
At the ti, I wasn’t thinking straight, figuring that even if you were robbed, it wouldn’t affect your daily life, so I just…
I’m sorry, miss, I won’t do it again…” As Ah Si spoke, he beca increasingly guilty, continuously apologizing to An Yiqing.
The girl looked at the honest Ah Si with a smile and gently shook her head, “I don’t bla you.
Although you used the wrong thod, you still acted like a man who dares to bear the responsibility for his actions!”
Ah Si was stunned for a mont, then chuckled sheepishly.
The other boys were infected by his goofiness and also started to laugh.
In the short ten-minute walk, An Yiqing’s approachability and warmth instantly drew closer to their honest hearts!
…
After a short while, they stopped in front of the entrance to the orphanage.
Actually, to call it an orphanage would be sowhat misleading; it was more like a run-down compound.
The rickety old iron gate looked as though it might collapse if you pushed it lightly.
Inside the high walls, a large courtyard was surrounded by rows of single-story houses, with walls showing patches of peeling plaster, indicating their age.
In the spacious yard, there were so simple and old sports equipnt as well as swings and slides for the children to play with.
It was a little after three in the afternoon, which happened to be playti for the children in the orphanage, so as soon as An Yiqing and the boys entered, they were imdiately surrounded by a swarm of kids.
