Mr. Gu, my wife has blocked you.

The shopping guide smiled and said, "Although the shoes in our store are a little more expensive, the quality is absolutely outstanding. All of them are repeat customers. You can tell when you wear them. The lifetime warranty includes cleaning. If there are quality problems within two months, you can come here." Get a new one.”

Qiao Ruoxing took out a card and said, "Just these two, help me settle the bill."

Kong Zheng frowned, "I don't want it."

As he said that, he took off his shoes, put on his old shoes, and walked out of the store.

Qiao Ruoxing told the shopping guide, got up and chased after him.

She searched around and found Kong lying on the railing, looking downstairs with his head lowered.

She walked over and stood next to him, "Aren't you happy that someone gave you a gift?"

Kong Zheng pursed his lips and said after a long time, "That's not something I can afford. Even if I dress, it's nondescript and will only make people laugh."

Qiao Ruoxing was stunned for a moment, but she forgot to consider this.

Although this kid Kong Zheng is quiet, he is sensitive and mature.

She gave him such an expensive gift, but he didn't accept it happily like other children. Instead, he felt anxious and uneasy, feeling that the thing was incompatible with him and that he was not worthy of it.

Qiao Ruoxing said warmly, "On your birthday, I just want to make up for your gift. Who would laugh at the person receiving the gift? They should be envious and jealous. Just because you can't afford it now doesn't mean you can't afford it in the future. People can't just Look at the road you have traveled, but also look at the road in front of you and the sky above your head.”

Kong Zheng was startled, and suddenly his defenses were broken. He endured the sourness rising from his nose and whispered, "You seem to have some culture."

Qiao Ruoxing's mouth twitched and she slapped him on the head, "I was the first in the culture class to get into T University! If you dare to make fun of me, wait until you get into my school!"

Kong Zheng smiled, "Which school did my brother-in-law graduate from?"

"T is big."

"Are you two schoolmates?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"It doesn't look like it. He is much more educated than you."

Qiao Ruoxing...

Qiao Ruoxing finally gave him a pair of sneakers worth more than 500 yuan, because Kong Zheng said that he would just accept the pair of sneakers that cost more than 3000 yuan, and let him give him the [-] yuan in cash.

It was the first time that Qiao Ruoxing met a guy who was more greedy for money than himself.

But soon, she discovered that Kong Zheng was not greedy for money, but was saving money.

She picked out gifts for the dean and the children in the courtyard. Kong Zheng always picked the ones that were cost-effective and rejected the ones that were too expensive. Until he picked up two cans of cheap milk powder, Qiao Ruoxing finally couldn't help but said, "This is for adults." Milk powder, Xiao Wu and the others are not nutritious enough, so they should just take what they had before."

"Children's milk powder is too expensive. One tube costs several hundred, which is enough for three days of food expenses in the hospital. Xiao Wu is almost six years old. After entering school, the expenses will be even greater. Save as much as you can. The dean can also relax.”

Qiao Ruoxing frowned, "What do you mean the dean can be relaxed?"

Kong Zheng's expression changed slightly, he avoided her gaze and said, "It's nothing. What I mean is that if the expenses are less, the dean can support more children."

Qiao Ruoxing obviously wasn't that easy to fool, "What's wrong with the dean? Why do you keep emphasizing saving, is the donation not enough? Or is something wrong?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Kong Zheng said after a long time, "The dean has no money, and the chef's salary cannot be paid, so he has resigned. A few days ago, I heard that the dean and Teacher Sun were discussing that she wanted to sell her house... …”

Qiao Ruoxing frowned, "The bank makes regular payments every month, how come there is no money?"

He Yurou has a dedicated account connected to the welfare home and remits money to the welfare home on time every month. This has been going on for many years.

Dongfo Road Welfare Home is not large in scale and has not accepted any new children in the past two years. Including the director, there are less than 20 people in total.

He Yurou remits [-] yuan every month, which is enough to keep this small welfare home afloat.

One hundred thousand is enough.

Kong Zheng pursed his lips, "Aunt He's donations have stopped since October last year."

Qiao Ruoxing's expression changed, "What do you mean stop?"

Kong Zheng didn't know much. When he went to find the dean once, he heard the conversation between the dean and Teacher Sun at the door of the dean's room, and then he learned that the donation from the Qiao family had been made since October last year. Discontinued.

The welfare home received very limited social donations, and it mainly relied on donations from the Qiao family. Therefore, once the money stopped, the welfare home fell into trouble within a short period of time.

The old dean thought at first that something had happened to the Qiao family and had forgotten about it. However, after waiting for three months and no donations, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she discussed with Teacher Sun to go to the Qiao family to have a look and talk. Talk about it.

Kong Zheng was on summer vacation at that time, so he followed him secretly.

On an August day, the outdoor temperature was 37 degrees Celsius. The old dean and Teacher Sun waited outside the door for more than three hours, but did not wait for Qiao Xusheng.

When the sun was about to set, Qiao Siyao came out, but she was here to chase people away.

She said that the company had encountered difficulties in operating its business and that it was difficult to continue funding the welfare home. She also said that He Yurou's illness had cost a lot of money over the years and she had done her best to them.

Kong Zheng spoke very implicitly, and the real situation was much worse than what he said.

Qiao Siyao said that it is not enough for the Qiao family to raise a useless person, but also to raise a bunch of useless people. He Yurou asked her to fulfill her promise, so why should she go to the Qiao family?

The old dean was so angry that he suffered from heatstroke and lay in bed for three days before he recovered.

This is why he hates Qiao Siyao.

He went to Shenlan to work as a waiter, not only to avoid the incident at school, but also to make more money and help the dean relieve the financial pressure.

Even so, Qiao Ruoxing felt cold from head to toe after hearing this.

The charity funds for the welfare home come from the dividends of He Yurou's company shares. Why should Qiao Xusheng cut off this?

Kong Zheng said, "The dean didn't let me tell you this. She was afraid that you would be caught in the middle. Don't tell the dean that I told you."

Qiao Ruoxing pursed her lips and whispered, "I know it well."

When they arrived at the orphanage, the old dean was very happy to see Qiao Ruoxing. Kong Zheng took the children to distribute gifts. The old dean pulled Qiao Ruoxing and talked about daily life.

The relationship between the old dean and He Yurou was very good. They almost watched Qiao Ruoxing grow up. When he saw Qiao Ruoxing, he couldn't help but think of He Yurou. When he mentioned some things in the past, he couldn't help but feel sad about it. He also asked about He Yurou's current situation.

"My mother is still the same, but she has had some reactions recently. The doctor said it is a good sign."

The dean was very happy when he heard this and said, "God is still open-minded. Your mother has helped so many people, and God cannot bear to take her away."

Qiao Ruoxing looked at the old dean and suddenly thought of something, "Dean, has my mother ever asked you to keep anything?"

The old dean was stunned for a long time and then said, "She did entrust me with something."

Qiao Ruoxing looked stern, "What?"

"You come with me."

A few minutes later, Qiao Ruoxing looked at the safe in front of her and asked in a low voice, "Is this what my mother gave you for safekeeping?"
