During dinner time, all the children in the orphanage gathered together. Chu Zifeng was the oldest among all the orphans, so he loved his younger siblings very much. Even when he was in poor health, when he saw his younger siblings being bullied by others, Chu Zifeng would stand up for them immediately. (Little Bean Chinese Network) docin.net
"Brother Zifeng, I heard from Dean Li that you've been working in the fields for the past three months. It must have been hard on you, right?”
In the dining room, a little boy about ten years old passed a piece of red braised pork to Chu Zifeng. The innocent smile on his face was really likable. He really did not know what his parents were thinking. They did not want such a cute child just like that.
"Little Ming is so obedient, but Big Brother Zifeng isn't tired. You're still growing, so you should eat it yourself.”
Chu Zifeng picked up the Red Braised Meat and gave it back to the little boy. He also picked up the vegetables in his bowl and gave them to him.
"Brother Zifeng, your health isn't good. Don't go to the fields anymore.”
Opposite Chu Zifeng, a cute little girl said with her mouth full of oil.
"Xiao Li, Brother Zifeng is fine. Look, Brother Zifeng's body is much better than before.”
"Brother Zifeng, I heard that you're going to university in two days. Can you bring me along?”
"Haha, Butchie, be good. As long as you practice, you can go to university like Brother Zifeng. (Little Bean Chinese Network)
Looking at his younger siblings, Chu Zifeng did not want to leave this place for a moment. He had lived here for 18 years. Thinking about how he would be going to Beijing in two days, he felt really bad. Most importantly, Chu Zifeng could not bear to leave everyone here!
"Dean Li, they're here again."
At this moment, a woman in her forties ran in from outside the dining room. She looked very anxious.
Director Li's expression had also turned ugly. He stood up from the table next to Chu Zifeng and said something to the woman before walking out of the dining room.
Chu Zifeng felt that something was wrong. Dean Li had never shown such an expression before. Could something have happened?
"Auntie Hong, who did you say came again?”
Chu Zifeng walked up and asked.
Auntie Hong was a staff member of the orphanage. She specialized in taking care of children under the age of ten. In the orphanage, she was considered a nanny.
Auntie Hong looked outside. She did not want the children to know about this, but Chu Zifeng was already an adult and the leader of this group of children. Some things could be decided by himself, so she said,""Zifeng, this is what happened. After the director passed away, his nephew, Liu Hu, came to find Director Li and said that he wanted to buy the land of our orphanage and build a villa! However, Dean Li refused to sell it, so Hu Liu threatened Dean Li, saying that if he didn't sell it, he would come and cause trouble every day.”
As soon as Auntie Hong finished speaking, she heard a man's voice outside."Li Shuang, what's the point of staying in this lousy place all day? In the end, you're just like my dead uncle. You don't even have a decent coffin!”
"No matter what you say or how high the price is, I will not sell this piece of land. This is my home and the home of all the children. I can't let you destroy our home.”Director Li did not show any signs of weakness as he faced a fat man in his forties. The fat man was wearing a flowery shirt and a pair of sunglasses. He was holding a Persian cat in his hand and smoking a big cigar. He looked like a gangster through and through. He was the nephew of the late director, Liu Hu. There were four or five men standing behind Liu Hu, and each of them looked like a hooligan.
"Li Shuang, it seems that if I don't give you a taste of your own medicine today, you won't know why your blood is so red.”
Hu Liu waved his hand at a man with a crew cut behind him. The man looked arrogant and clenched his fists. He was about to punch Dean Li.
"Stop!" At this moment, Chu Zifeng rushed out of the dining room and stood in front of Dean Li, facing Liu Hu and the others.
"Zifeng, what are you doing out here?"
Chu Zifeng shouted at Liu Hu," The people here are very kind. We won't fight you. But if you dare to do anything, I'll call the police."”
"Aiya, kid, you're quite brave. It turns out that your orphanage is full of tough bones.”the crew cut said.
"Skinny, retreat first. This kid is right. It's not good to mess around in the daytime. Even if you want to make a move, you have to wait until night.”
"Boss, you're right. I almost forgot. It's still broad daylight, so let them go!”
When the man with the crew cut returned to Hu Liu, Hu Liu spat to the side and said to Dean Li,""Li Shuang, I won't play with you today, but I'm warning you, my patience is limited. If you're stubborn, then prepare to collect the corpse of this kid from the orphanage.”
After saying that, Liu Hu turned around and left with the crew cut and the others, ignoring Chu Zifeng.
"Dean Li, what's going on? Why didn't even the director's family mention buying the land, but his nephew came looking for trouble?”
Dean Li sighed deeply and said,""Actually, when the dean was still alive, this Liu Hu had talked to the dean about this, but he was scolded away by the dean! He didn't expect Hu Liu to come looking for him again after the director passed away. He even used those hooligans 'methods!”
Chu Zifeng had heard that the director had a nephew who was an evil person. He specialized in murder and arson, but because he had a good relationship with a certain leader in the city, he had not been arrested until now. However, he did not expect that Liu Hu would actually start working in the real estate industry and even have designs on the orphanage. He wanted to buy and sell it by force!
"Dean Li, what do you plan to do?" Chu Zifeng asked.”
"What else can I do? The orphanage is the director's life's work. No matter what, I won't sell it. If they want to force it, I can only call the police.”
Chu Zifeng knew very well that if calling the police was useful, those guys would not have come looking for him. They probably had people in the police station too!
"Dean Li, you don't have to worry. They're just scaring us.”
Chu Zifeng's heart was already filled with anger. This was his home. If anyone dared to touch his home and his family, he would make them pay a heavy price.
"I hope so!" Dean Li frowned.”
At this time, all the children were already standing outside the dining room, pouting their little mouths and looking at Director Li. Although these children were young, they were mischievous. They probably already knew that the orphanage was in trouble.
In order not to let the children worry, Dean Li forced a smile and said,"Is everyone done eating? If you're done eating, go do your homework. I'm going to test you tonight.”
Looking at Dean Li forcing a smile, Chu Zifeng thought to himself,""Dean Li, I don't think the dean wants you to bear such a huge pressure alone. As a member of this big family, I should help you share the burden. I hope that you and the dean won't blame me for doing this!”
