Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Ye Xueli was so angry that she broke her long fingernails. "Do you think I'd still like you in the future? You only love your fat little brother, right? When did you think of me as your sister? Just you wait—I'll marry Colonel Lu. When that day comes, don't beg me for anything! We'll see what happens when that day comes!"

Even though she had finished scolding her brother, Ye Xueli still sat down and cried in anger. The more she thought about it, the more pitiful she felt. Her father did not love her, and her brother had angered her.

Jiang Yao did not know what had happened between Ye Jianguo and Ye Xueli. When she arrived at the market, she bought some vegetables that she and Lu Xingzhi liked to eat. Then, she met a few children at the market.

Those were the children that Lu Xingzhi had sent to the Welfare Institute. Their leader was the boy Lu Xingzhi brought home that day. After not seeing him for a few months, the boy had gained a lot of weight.

Those children were selling vegetables at a stall. The stall was not big. It was just a place with a sack spread on the ground at the intersection. On top of it were fresh leeks and some vegetables such as beans and eggplants.

When Jiang Yao saw him, the boy recognized Jiang Yao. When he saw her, the boy stood up with some restraint.

Jiang Yao walked toward him and greeted him with a smile. "Why are you selling vegetables here?"

"We want to make money. It's the Director's birthday in a few days. We want to buy a birthday cake for the Director. We have no money, so we're selling vegetables to make money," the boy replied. It was obvious that he was a little nervous. As he spoke, he tugged at the corner of his shirt and quickly said, "If it's not possible, we'll go back now."

"It's good that you have such intentions. Why not?" Jiang Yao raised her hand, touched the youngest child's head, and said, "You came up with your way to earn money. You did the hard work to buy a birthday cake for your director. When your director receives it, he will be delighted. But the weather is too hot. You can't keep basking in the sun all the time. Be careful not to get sunstroke. You must also pay attention to your safety when you go back."

Jiang Yao did not ask them how they got to Jindo City. Those children had been in the community for many years, so their experience would not be much less than hers. They knew how to survive that place.

Since they wanted to make money, they would not use improper means to earn that Jindo City.

They respected and loved their director, so they would not use improper means to make money to buy a birthday cake for him.

After not seeing those children for a few months, Jiang Yao felt that their temperaments had developed positively. That was something that made her very happy. It proved that Lu Xingzhi's expectations for them had not been disappointed—those children were worthy of his help.

Society might have tainted them, but their innate kindness had not changed.

"No, no, we brought water." The small child showed her the bottle on his back. "We have water. It can relieve the heat. Furthermore, the Director cooks soup for us every day. "

"That's good." Jiang Yao nodded. "Continue with your work then. I'm going to buy some other vegetables. The sun is hot in the afternoon. You guys can go back early after you finish selling them."

Jiang Yao waved at the children and left their stall. When she passed by a small store, she bought some ice cream. Then, she went to the children's stall and gave them the ice cream.
