Chapter 236: Chapter 0236: Sister Qing is Back
Ye Xunhuan had quickly knocked the man down to the ground, where he began wailing nonstop!
Ye Xunhuan showed no mercy, yet he didn’t take the man’s life, though he felt this scum deserved death; but it was a society governed by law now, wasn’t it?
The bystanders, upon witnessing the scene, were all stunned, staring at Ye Xunhuan with their mouths agape, while endless chills filled their hearts.
Ye Xunhuan was truly ruthless, breaking the man’s jawbone with a slap, the bone piercing through the skin gruesomely, while several other fractures on the body ensured he wouldn’t recover without months or even a year of convalescence.
Even if he recovered, he was likely to suffer some complications in the future.
Some locals who knew the restaurant owner were planning to help, but after seeing Ye Xunhuan beat him so mercilessly, not one dared approach.
These days, the fearless ones are the most terrifying!
The woman stood frozen in place, staying silent for a long time before she suddenly screamed, "Ah, he’s killing someone..."
Ye Xunhuan raised his hand, then slowly lowered it: "If you weren’t a woman, I would have beaten you to death today!"
"You... you..."
"Alright, now it’s time for me to settle accounts with you!" Ye Xunhuan said coldly, "You let your dog attack this child, causing severe damage to his physical and mental health, a huge shock to his psyche...
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan turned into a complete rogue, leaving the woman flabbergasted by his words!
"Based on my preliminary estimate, treating this child will need about a million; I won’t charge you the hundred thousand, so you still owe me nine hundred thousand. Bring me the money now!"
Everyone was stunned.
Who exactly was extorting whom here?
For a moment, everyone learned something new about extorting!
Hearing Ye Xunhuan asking for nine hundred thousand, the woman collapsed to the ground with a thud, her face filled with panic.
Mei Hanqing couldn’t help but speak up, "Let it go, Diudiu is fine!"
Ultimately, Mei Hanqing was a woman and just couldn’t bring herself to extort the other party, especially since they could not come up with that much money. If they could, they wouldn’t be running a small restaurant here.
Besides, Ye Xunhuan had already taught them a lesson.
Ye Xunhuan sighed softly, then looked at the woman: "Now get lost immediately, don’t fucking wait for me to change my mind!"
As his words fell, Ye Xunhuan glanced at Diudiu, who Mei Hanqing was holding, took a deep breath, and then loudly addressing the crowd said, "They are orphans, abandoned by heaven and earth, but they haven’t stolen or begged, nor have they ever stretched their hands to beg from you, right?"
"Yes, they are dirty on the outside, but their souls are the cleanest, and you?"
"Your souls are filthy, just like the garbage in the sewers!"
"Also, remember this, all of you: they are not beggars, they weren’t in the past, and they won’t be in the future. Don’t look at them with the eyes you use to see a beggar; aside from their sad background, they are no less than any of you!"
"And don’t you bully the young for being poor; now they are facing hardships, but in the future, they will be the elites you lowlife snobs will look up to!"
"Besides, don’t let me find out any of you are bullying them, or I’ll come knocking at your doors one by one!" 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Standing next to Ye Xunhuan, Mei Hanqing’s eyes reddened as Ye Xunhuan’s words rang in her ears.
For so many years, no one had ever spoken out for the children of the orphanage, nor had anyone stood up against the injustices they faced.
Everyone looked at them with disdain and mockery.
As if in the eyes of others, the children who came out of the orphanage were the scum of society, a cancer to be shunned!
Ye Xunhuan was the first man to stand up for the orphanage children, the first man who dared to fight for them, and at that moment Mei Hanqing’s heart was completely overwhelmed by something called emotion!
"Sister Hanqing, did this big brother really say we’re not beggars, is it true?" Diudiu asked Mei Hanqing, blinking his clear, large eyes.
Hearing Diudiu’s words, Mei Hanqing felt a pang in her heart and nodded heavily, "Yes, we are not beggars, not now, and never in the future!"
As she spoke those words, Mei Hanqing couldn’t help but recall the phrase often mentioned by the old director of the orphanage: "The poorest of the poor beg for alms, but those who don’t die shall eventually succeed!"
Ye Xunhuan drove Mei Hanqing and Diudiu away from the market and toward the orphanage.
The orphanage was not far west of the market, within a low fence stood a three-story dilapidated old building, standing alone, battered and worn, like a gasping old man using his frail and weak old body to protect the children within as best he could.
One by one, children with sad backgrounds grew up, went out, left here; one by one, children still in swaddling clothes were brought in, crying loudly.
Year after year, the old building bore witness to the children’s suffering and the world’s harshness, countless laughter and tears were staged here, bringing in fresh sorrows and sending away reluctant farewells each year.
Who still remembers this forgotten corner of the world?
Who still knows the bitterness and misfortune of these children?
As they drew nearer to the orphanage, Mei Hanqing’s eyes slowly started to moisten, but thinking of the warmth inside the orphanage, her lips slowly formed a genuine smile.
After Ye Xunhuan parked the car at the entrance to the orphanage, a group of children quickly gathered around, talking excitedly.
It was rare for a car to stop here.
This place seemed like a den of plague, everyone avoided it for fear that lingering would bring bad luck.
After Ye Xunhuan stepped out of the car, all the children looked at him somewhat timidly.
When Mei Hanqing stepped out, the children’s faces immediately lit up with surprise, and they started shouting excitedly, "Sister Hanqing, Sister Hanqing..."
Seeing Mei Hanqing, the children seemed to see a relative, their faces brimming with happy and innocent smiles.
Even Ye Xunhuan, watching the children’s smiling faces, felt as if the filth and darkness within him were being washed away by a clear stream!
"Grandpa Director, Grandpa Director, Sister Hanqing is back, Sister Hanqing is back..."
The children were as excited as if it were a festival, and they started cheering nonstop.
