Chapter 67: The San Yun Orphanage!

  The San Yun Orphanage is just a small orphanage, built by three brothers of the Yun family. The orphanage was named after them. Now only the youngest brother, Yun Hai, is still alive and he single-handedly maintains the entire orphanage, ensuring the basic living conditions for dozens of orphans.

  It's not easy for one person to maintain an orphanage, especially after the factory closed and there was no income! At first, the entire orphanage relied on the money earned by the three brothers' factory to survive. Now that the factory has gone bankrupt, it can only barely get by with donations from kind-hearted people in society! Fortunately, this world is not short of kind-hearted people, so the orphanage has not been forced to disband. Years have passed, and Cloud Sea, who was once robust, has also become a sixty-year-old old man. Working day and night for the orphanage has made him look much older than other sixty-year-olds!

  These were the words Zhou Ya said to Lin Tian in the car, her eyes brimming with tears as she spoke. "Little Lin, can I sell the earrings you gave me?" Zhou Ya asked softly. "Sell them? You want to use the money from selling the earrings to help the orphanage?" To be honest, Lin Tian felt a slight twinge of annoyance in his heart, but also a hint of emotion. Zhou Ya nodded slightly: "Those children are very pitiful, without the orphanage they can't make a living!"

  Lin Tian shook his head: "It's like that, you don't have to sell that earring either. It was the first gift I gave you, it has a lot of meaning. As for the orphanage, you don't need to worry about it. I'm also an orphan, although I didn't grow up in an orphanage, but I completely understand the hardships of orphans. I'll help them out. Hmm, such good deeds can't be done by me alone! Old Wei, Xiao Bai, Old Fourth and others will have to participate when they arrive! Yaoyao, are you short on money?" Zhou Yao shook her head: "I'm not short on money, it's the orphanage that lacks money. My own money is enough for ordinary expenses!"

  "Yao'er, you know this orphanage, it shouldn't be for long, right?" Lin Tian said. "By the way, what about that notebook we found last time?" "Not long, I only knew about it a few days before school started," Yao'er replied, "and that notebook is gone again."

  Lin Tian smiled slightly: "Yao'er, you're really bad at lying. As soon as you tell a lie, your face turns red. That notebook should have been sold by you, right?!" Zhou Yao remained silent, if the notebook was still with her, how could she bear to sell the earrings Lin Tian gave her?! "You, why don't you ask someone else for help? Your dormitory sisters, which one of them is short on money again? If you tell them it's to help orphans, they should be willing to help!" Lin Tian shook his head. "I, the money from selling the notebook last time should still be able to sustain me for a while, so I haven't asked them yet. If the orphanage really can't make ends meet, I will definitely ask for their help." Zhou Yao said.

  Lin Tian handed over a tissue: "Okay, okay, wipe away your tears first, we'll be there soon. It's not good for those little guys to see you cry. If they think I'm bullying you, dozens of people will rush up and I won't be able to stop them!" "No way, they're very cute!" Zhou Yao wiped away her tears and said.

  The San Yun Orphanage was located in a remote area, and after twenty or thirty years had passed, the once brand-new orphanage had also become dilapidated. Now that it was already nine o'clock, a faint orange glow emanated from within the orphanage, and a small figure sat at the entrance of the orphanage, staring blankly in the direction that Lin Tian and the others were coming from.

  "It's Xiao Shuang, she must be waiting for me here." Zhou Yao said, "Her eyes have some problems, and I also knew about this small orphanage through her!"

  The car stopped, Lin Tian got out of the car and helped Zhou Yao open the door. "Sister Yao! Sister Yao, is that you?!" The child called Xiaoshuang excitedly exclaimed, "Sister Yao, I smell the fragrance on your body, it smells so good!" With a sweet smile on his face, "Sister Yao, I'll go tell Grandpa Dean!"

  "Xiao Shuang, Dean must have already known I'm here, no need for you to tell him!" Zhou Yao hurriedly pulled her back, fearing she would fall.

  The originally quiet orphanage suddenly became lively, with every room's lights turned on and the sound of children's happy laughter filling the air. "It's already 9 o'clock, they're usually in bed by now!" Zhou Ya's face was filled with a sweet smile, leaving Lin Tian somewhat stunned!

  "Dummy, what are you staring at? Hurry up and go in!" Zhou Yao's face turned slightly red as she pulled Xiao Shuang inside. "Great, another nickname!" Lin Tian sighed and followed them in.

  "Miss Zhou Yao, thank you so much! If it wasn't for your help last time, these children would have suffered!" Yun Hai looked old but was still very spirited. "Little Shuang said you'd be coming over tonight, I didn't think you'd actually show up. It's so late and this place is also quite remote, not safe! Is that young man your boyfriend? He looks very spirited!" Zhou Yao nodded shyly: "Director, the little money I have won't be able to support these many children for much longer. This time, I've brought a big benefactor to help you, with his assistance, the children will definitely live better!"

  Yun Hai's face turned solemn as he said, "Miss Zhou Yao, you can't sacrifice your own happiness for the sake of the orphanage. If that's the case, we absolutely won't accept such money!" Zhou Yao shook her head and replied, "Director Yun, what are you thinking? I'm with him because I like him, not for any other reason!"

  Lin Tian was originally standing at a certain distance, examining the eyes of a child called Xiao Shuang. When he heard Zhou Yao and others talking about him, he said softly to Xiao Shuang: "I'll call you Xiao Shuang, brother will come next time and definitely help you treat your eyes well!" Without waiting for Xiao Shuang's response, Lin Tian stood up and walked towards Zhou Yao and the hospital director: "Director, hello! Your story has been told by Yaoyao, it's really impressive. However, you suspecting Yaoyao is not right, how could she do such a foolish thing?!"

  Yunhai nodded: "This young master is right, I shouldn't have doubted you, Miss Zhou Yao."

  "Director, his name is Lin Tian, just call him by his name!" Zhou Yao said.

  Lin Tian smiled and nodded: "Right, I'm not some young master, the title of young master is too much for me to bear."

  "Sister Yao, happy birthday!" The little girl named Xiaoshuang walked over slowly with a greeting card in her hand. Zhou Yao's eyes sparkled with tears as she took the simple card: "Xiaoshuang is so clever, thank you for the gift, sister is very happy!"

  "Xiao Shuang, do you know that today is Miss Zhou Yao's birthday? Why didn't you say it earlier?" "Director, Eldest Sister Yao told me not to say it!" Xiao Shuang said. Zhou Yao smiled and said: "Director, don't blame Xiao Shuang, I asked her to keep it a secret, because I wasn't sure if I could make it..."

  "Happy birthday, Sister Yao!" the other kids chimed in unison. "Thank you, thank you all!" Zhou Yao said happily. As he gazed at Zhou Yao's smiling face, a word suddenly flashed through Lin Tian's mind: Angel!

  "Dean, let's go over there and talk about it! Yao'er, you stay here and play with the kids for a while." Lin Tian said. Zhou Yao and Yun Hai both nodded.

  The orphanage had a courtyard that was neither big nor small, with simple facilities, but there were still two swings. Lin Tian and Yun Hai came to the edge of the courtyard and sat down. "Yun Hai, this orphanage has been around for many years, it's old and in disrepair, I'm afraid it's prone to accidents!" Lin Tian said.

  Yun Hai's face revealed a helpless expression: "No way, the orphanage doesn't have much money, we can't even afford to repair it, let alone build a new one. If it weren't for Miss Zhou Yao's donation this time, I'm not sure if we could have made ends meet. What I fear most is that one day the children won't even have a place to live!"

  "Dean Yunhai, I can tell you're a genuinely good person. With the money in your hands, I feel at ease. I believe every single minute will be spent on the children!" Lin Tian paused for a moment before continuing, "I plan to invest 10 million yuan, and also find a few friends to chip in some more. I'm sure it should be enough to build a relatively good new orphanage!"

  Yun Hai was stunned: "I, I didn't mishear, did I? 10 million?! Over the years, there have been donations of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, mostly from those who left this orphanage and achieved some success. The largest donation was made by Zhou Yao, who recently donated 3 million yuan, enough to renovate the orphanage and sustain it for half a year! A sum of 10 million is unprecedented; such an amount can build a very good orphanage that can accommodate even more children."

  Lin Tian smiled and nodded: "If the orphanage is to be built, find a better place. This place is too remote, the children are not safe, and Yao'er is not safe coming over! Director, if you have your eye on a piece of land but can't get it, just tell me, I'm sure the leaders of Haitian City will give me some face!"
