my benefactors

Thirteen took advantage of the children happily taking presents, and hugged Li You who was still asleep from the car.

Xia Qi and Li's mother simply said that Li You was recovering well, but he was still a little weak during the recuperation, and they planned to come back for a few days.Li's mother was very happy when she heard that, and hurriedly greeted Shisan, a strong young man who seemed scary but made Li's mother think he was really strong, and carried Li You into her room.

Shisan followed Li's mother to a small bedroom, where the light was dark, the walls were mottled, and the furniture was old. He frowned slightly, and put Li You on the clean bed without saying a word.

Li's mother put Li You in place, and after repeatedly asking Li You's physical condition, she turned around and went outside, intending to buy some good meat and vegetables to entertain Xia Qi and Li You's friends. She didn't know whether these men were Li You's bodyguard.

"Mom, don't worry about it. We brought some vegetables and rice noodles when we came here. Just make a big pot of vegetables at that time. I miss your craftsmanship so much!"

"Okay, I'll do it now..."

Li's mother patted Xia Qi's shoulder with a smile on her face, and told him to treat those friends well.

Xia Qi responded with a smile, but did not explain the identities of Shisan and the others.

Shisan called two bodyguards who were good at cooking to help Mama Li cook. Xia Qi also wanted to go, but Shisan stopped him.

"The conditions here are poor."

Shisan, who cherishes words like gold, rarely took the initiative to talk to Xia Qi. While Xia Qi was surprised, he smiled slightly and said:

"Yuzi and I grew up here since we were young. It stands to reason that with the rapid development of modern society, there shouldn't be such a poor place. No matter how many orphans there are, the government will provide them with enough food and clothing. But Mama Li's orphanage is It is not under the jurisdiction of the government. It can be said that this orphanage is just a home built by Li Mama alone..."

Thirteen remained silent, quietly listening to Xia Qi's story about the origin of the orphanage.

At that time, Li's mother had a very good job and family, with a gentle husband, a cute son, and a pair of gentle parents-in-law.And Li's mother is an orphan. She has excellent academic performance since she was a child, and was admitted to a prestigious university. Then she met his husband. Because of a sudden disaster, almost his family was destroyed.

It was an accident that happened to Li’s mother’s son when he was three years old. The child was abducted by a stranger while playing outside. Li’s mother and her husband were so frightened that they hurriedly called the police, but later the police told them that the child fell ill and died on the way. , what was brought back was only a dead body that had already been frozen.Although the criminal trafficking gang was severely cracked down by the police, Mama Li's children could never come back because of this incident. Incited to fall into a lake while drunk and never wake up again.

A series of cruel blows caused Li's mother to collapse several times. This broken family finally collapsed after her husband's death. Li's mother was in a trance and suffered from severe depression. She almost committed suicide. It's gone.Later, with the help of kind-hearted people, Li's mother regained her strength. She took care of the family's funeral, then quit her job, sold the house, and traveled to the outskirts of the imperial capital to buy a piece of land. The orphanage was built to house the homeless orphans, and he was inspired to participate in the national anti-trafficking action, helping those trafficked children and women to return to their families.

Mama Li's orphanage has not been approved and approved by the government. In addition, when it was established in the early years, it was rushing to the political elections, so it became a place forgotten by the government. This orphanage.Fortunately, Mama Li met many friends during her work and college years. They all sympathized with Mama Li's experience and were very willing to help her. This made Li's mother's life in the orphanage more and more difficult and poorer.

However, even so, Li's mother still gritted her teeth and persevered. She opened up wasteland and farmed nearby, went out to do odd jobs to earn money, and sometimes went out to pick up junk and sell money when life was really difficult. She persisted all the way through.

Speaking of this, Xia Qi had already burst into tears, but her surprisingly bright and moist eyes were filled with a grateful smile: "If there is no Mama Li, there will be no nearly thirty lives in our orphanage, big and small. It is Mama Li who has worked hard to bring us up, and it is Mama Li who taught us the principles of life. To Mama Li, I treat her as my own mother from the bottom of my heart. In addition to gratitude, it is more about family affection. I want to honor her and give her a pension. This is the biggest wish of the eight of us in life!"

Shisan's expression was moved, his eyes could not be seen clearly with sunglasses on, but his slightly hoarse voice revealed his deep sympathy: "Mama Li is fine."

Hearing this, Xia Qi broke into a smile, wiped the tears from his face, and nodded proudly: "Of course! Mother Li is the most beautiful mother in the world, and also the favorite mother of dozens of our brothers and sisters!"

The corners of Thirteen's mouth curled up slightly.

Xia Qi was surprised, he didn't expect that Shisan, who was always cold, would laugh.

While talking, there were several whistles from outside the big iron gate, as if a car was about to come in.

Xia Qi hurriedly looked back, two bodyguards opened the big iron gate, a second-hand van drove in staggeringly, a head poked out from the window of the passenger seat, when seeing Xia Qi, he was immediately surprised Shouted loudly: "Lao Qi, are you back?"

"Second brother!"

Xia Qi happily ran over, the van stopped steadily, and the bodyguards closed the trembling iron door again.

The car door opened with a whimper, and five or six young men and women jumped out. They were plainly dressed and looked different, but they were all bloodless relatives.

Thirteen strode over and saw Xia Qi hugging them one by one with a particularly happy expression. He couldn't help being a little envious and guessed their identities.

"Thirteen, let me introduce you. This is Yuzu's eldest brother, Wang Guohua. These two are my second brother and third sister, Zhao Xiang and Zhao Qing. This is my fourth brother Liu Dong, and this is my fifth brother. Zhang Ping and the sixth brother Zhang An. According to age, I am the seventh oldest, and Yuzu is the youngest."

Thirteen nodded respectively, as a greeting.

Xia Qi knew Shisan's personality, but his brothers and sisters didn't know it. Seeing Shisan wearing sunglasses and looking cold, like a rich boss, they were a little apprehensive at first, and they didn't dare to talk to Shisan. Thirteen was too enthusiastic, so he could only smile a little restrained.

After the introduction, Thirteen went to look after Li You and left space for them.

The eldest brother, Wang Guohua, is a man with handsome facial features. He is 28 years old this year, ten years older than Xia Qi and Youzi. He can be regarded as a brother and father who watched Xia Qi and Youzi grow up. .He was the first orphan adopted by Li's mother. He was homeless when he was only eight years old. He was a poor child abandoned by his relatives. Li's mother adopted him as her own son without saying a word.

"Old Qi, who is that? It looks scary."

The second child, Zhao Xiang, and the third child, Zhao Qing, are twin siblings who are 25 years old this year.They are handsome in appearance and clean in temperament, but they have a common shortcoming, that is, they have some physical disabilities, and they are lame with a slight limp in their legs and feet.

"That's Yuzu's driver and bodyguard, we all call him Shisan."

"My god! I almost scared the shit out of me just now! That bodyguard is tall and burly, and he's not easy to mess with."

The fourth son, Liu Dong, is in good health, but he grew up thin and small, and was often bullied. When he grew up, he went to the martial arts academy in order to become stronger. Now he has just graduated two years ago and worked as a security captain in a company. Zhi thought he was very strong, but when he saw Thirteen, he saw what it meant to be a real strong man.

Xia Qi rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "How can he be so powerful, that's just how he is, he just doesn't like to talk."

Liu Dong rubbed his hands, eager to try: "Then can I ask for some advice?"

"Cut! You have the guts to compare yourself to others with your three-legged cat skills." The old five Zhang Ping sneered at him.

Liu Dong's face darkened, and he stared at him angrily: "Zhang Ping, what do you mean by that?!"

"Fourth brother, my brother is joking, don't mind." The sixth Zhang An tugged Zhang Ping's sleeve and quickly apologized.

Zhang Ping and Zhang An are a pair of brothers. The two brothers lost their parents when they were young. They were helpless and abandoned by their relatives. After coming out, he wandered here and was kindly adopted by Li's mother.

Zhang Ping is eccentric, Zhang An is sleek and sophisticated, the two brothers have experienced a lot of hardships since childhood, and especially cherish the days of growing up in the orphanage, even if they often fight with friends of the same age, it is just thunder and rain Small, dare not disobey Wang Guohua who is the boss and is particularly dignified.

No, Wang Guohua slapped Liu Dong on the head, and scolded in a deep voice, "How can you talk! Being a security captain is too old! Being able to fight is great!"

These people have been most afraid of Wang Guohua besides Li's mother since they were young. Liu Dong shrank his neck and hummed, not daring to be dissatisfied.

Although Zhang Ping was not beaten, but Wang Guohua glanced at him, and he also trembled and stopped choking.

Xia Qi and the others have long been accustomed to this way of getting along, and feel uncomfortable every time they meet without arguing.

After laughing and laughing, the seven Wang Guohua brothers and sisters played for a while with the brothers and sisters who were excited after receiving the gifts, and then brought Xia Qi and the others to a room to talk about things.

"Old Qi, tell me the truth, where did you get such a large sum of money?" Wang Guohua closed the door, and asked Xia Qi directly as soon as he sat down, with a very stern tone.

Xia Qi had been prepared for a long time. He settled down and replied honestly: "Brother, this money is the commission that Yuzi borrowed in advance when he signed the contract with the company."

Wang Guohua sneered, stared at him sharply, and said in an aggressive tone, "Commission? You are an idiot when I am a lawyer who has been working for several years! Which newcomer in the entertainment industry can be so popular, and just after signing the contract, the boss can loan out a huge sum of 1000 million yuan. ?!"

As soon as the words fell, the others gasped and stared in disbelief.

Xia Qi froze, her body was tense, and she couldn't say a word.

Wang Guohua knows Xia Qi and Li You whom he brought up best, and Li You is sleeping now, so it is inconvenient for him to force him to ask, so why can't he trick Xia Qi into saying: "Tell me the truth, where did the money come from? "

Xia Qi's face was pale, she lowered her head and bit her lip, not knowing how to explain it.

Zhao Qing couldn't see it, so she quickly intervened to persuade: "Brother, if you have something to say, please speak up, you see that you scare Xiao Qi."

Wang Guohua slapped the table: "I scare him? I think he scares me, it's almost the same! 1000 million! A full 1000 million! Even if we sell all of us collectively, it's not worth so much money, he and Xiaoyao are so light Bring it easily, how can you make me feel at ease!"

Growing up so big, it was the first time I saw my eldest brother lose such a temper, and several people all kept their mouths shut, not daring to say anything.

At this moment, the door was opened, and several people followed the prestige, and saw Li You standing at the door, looking at them with teary eyes.

"Little Yaoer..."

Wang Guohua's anger dissipated in an instant, and the oppressive and dull atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant.

"Big brother..."

Li You's eyes turned red, and he rushed forward, hugged Wang Guohua tightly, and cried with a hoarse voice.

In his previous life, when Li You was popular, he hired his eldest brother to be his personal lawyer, but unexpectedly, when he went abroad to organize a concert for him, Wang Guohua's plane encountered strong turbulence, and a serious crash occurred on the sea. , No one survived on the plane.

When he was reborn in this life, he could see his real elder brother again, Li You couldn't help crying, and hugged his elder brother's warm body fiercely, hoping that all this is not a dream, but real!

Wang Guohua hugged Li You distressedly, although he didn't know why Xiao Yaoer was crying, but he also felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

In his eyes, Li You is more lovable than the other siblings. He remembered that he had just been adopted by Li's mother for a few days. He ran out to the river outside to catch small fish, and accidentally saw a cardboard box. , there was a blanket inside, and a newborn baby was wrapped in the blanket. The baby was fat and cute, sucking his fingers and sleeping soundly in the cardboard box.At that moment, he decided that this was the younger brother sent to him by the gods. It has been 18 years since he saw it. Those pink, tender and chubby little brothers have finally grown up under his care, which made him feel happy. A feeling like a world away.

"Okay, don't cry. Look at you, you are such an adult, and you still cry like a child..."

When Li You cried, his brothers and sisters all felt sorry for him.

Zhao Qing is the only girl and the one who loves Li You the most.

She came over to wipe Li You's tears away, pinched Li You's fair face with a smile, and joked: "Oh, it's been a while since our youngest son has become more and more beautiful! Look at this little skin The tender ones can squeeze out water, haha!"

Li You blushed, and shrugged in embarrassment: "Sister San, don't laugh at me..."

Zhao Qing hugged Li You tightly, deliberately ate a few tofu, and laughed heartily: "Haha, Xiaoyaoer is still the same as before, without being teased."

With this smile, Li You stopped crying. He sniffed, looked at the other brothers, and called out in turn: "Second Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother."

"Ah!" The brothers all responded together and laughed heartily.

"Sit down now."

When the elder brother spoke, Li You sat down obediently, and Zhao Qing looked at him carefully: "I heard that you were going to enter the entertainment industry, but my elder brother and I didn't quite believe it. You have become famous on the Internet, but before you have time to congratulate you, you have entered the hospital again...Little Yaoer, how is your recovery?"

"I'm fine, brothers and sisters don't have to worry, I'm in good health." Li You held Zhao Qing's hand, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

In his previous life, he seldom cared about his brothers and sisters when he entered the entertainment industry. As long as he earned money, he would send it to the orphanage, but he never had time to visit them. Now that he thinks about it, Li You feels that he is very heartless. The warmth of family affection that I felt all came back at this moment.

"That's good. If you want you to be safe, we can rest assured." Zhao Xiang nodded, feeling a lot more relaxed.

"Hehe, our youngest has been in good health since he was a child, unlike Xiao Qi who has always been weak and sick." Liu Dong smiled and hugged Xia Qi's shoulders: "Not to mention, Xiao Qi seems to be better than before when he comes back this time. Quite a few, you look so rosy and healthy!"

Xia Qi blushed and broke free, staring at Liu Dong who was out of tune: "Fourth brother, you will make fun of me."

Liu Dong scratched his head, thinking that he had made Xia Qi angry by saying the wrong thing, so he said awkwardly, "I didn't, I just saw that you looked good, and I was happy."

Xia Qi's heart warmed up: "My health is indeed much better."

Wang Guohua asked, "Are you sure?"

Xia Qi's health is what he knows best, and he is also most worried about it.

"Brother, I'm really fine. I went to the hospital for an examination a few days ago, and the doctor said that I have taken good care of myself in recent years and it will not affect my life in the future." Xia Qi really dare not reveal the magical system of grapefruit, in case someone is caught It would be bad if people were arrested for live experiments.

Wang Guohua nodded, Xiaoqi is really temperamental, and he would not lie to him with such kind of things.

"It's better to be more careful. Your foundation is weak, and it's hard work to go out to work, and you still have to enter the entertainment industry with Xiaoyaoer..." Zhang An said worriedly, still a little worried.

"Brother Six, you can rest easy! Although the entertainment industry is tiring, Brother Seven and I feel very fulfilled."

Xia Qi nodded in agreement with Li You's words.

Zhang Ping's mouth was poisonous, and he couldn't help but said: "No matter how fulfilling you are, when you are exhausted, it will be too late to regret it!"

Puff!

Li You covered his mouth and smiled: "Fifth Brother, you are still so... sharp."

Zhang Ping blushed, and glared at Li You: "Be serious! I'm telling the truth, Xiao Qi is not in good health, and you are careless. You two are an unreliable combination, what kind of entertainment circle do you want to break into?" ? It’s not bad if you can work hard!”

"Yes, yes, what Brother Wu said is true."

Li You took a deep breath, let out another breath, looked around, and looked at the relatives who were close in front of him, feeling very satisfied and happy.

Afterwards, he said seriously to Wang Guohua: "Brother, the money I gave Brother Seven was really earned by me alone, so you can take it with confidence."

"Little Yaoer, but I..."

Li You shook his head and interrupted his words: "Brother, our brothers and sisters were brought up by Li's mother with great painstaking efforts. Everyone has the responsibility and obligation to support her elderly, and they all have a wish to continue our orphanage. Expand it so that those younger brothers and sisters can live a better life."

After a pause, he said again: "Although you are working now, it is also a very good job, but the salary is only so little every month, which is not enough for your usual expenses. Second brother and third sister are in poor health. Special, they can only participate in some simple jobs, and they don’t earn much money, which is barely enough for them to eat and drink. The monthly salary of the fourth brother is only two to three thousand yuan, which is not enough to feed as many mouths as the orphanage. Five Brother and Sixth Brother are still in college, even if they work and study every day, they have limited money. There are other brothers and sisters, some are in school, some are about to go to school, some have congenital deficiencies that need medical treatment, and some don’t even have one I haven't worn any new clothes..."

Li You blinked his sore eyes, and said firmly: "So, I have to take out the money, find a big place for the orphanage to rebuild, provide a better environment for Li's mother, and create a better environment for my younger brothers and sisters. It's a good life...”

Wang Guohua's eyes were hot, so why didn't he understand what Li You meant, this little boy was always so sensible that it made people feel distressed, but he really didn't dare to use this money!

As if sensing what big brother was thinking, Li You pursed his lips: "Big brother, I know you are worried about the unknown origin of the money... Don't worry, my money is absolutely clean, I..."

"Little Yaoer!" Wang Guohua stood up impatiently, his face livid: "You are not allowed to say that! I didn't mean that."

Li You grinned, suppressing the bitterness in his heart: "I know that brother has no other intentions, but brother keeps asking me where the money comes from, I have to explain clearly."

Wang Guohua rubbed his face indiscriminately, and sighed softly: "Okay, since you said so, I won't force you. The money is too much, a few million is enough, and the rest..."

Li You hurriedly said: "Brother, the money is not much, I think it is too little. Find a piece of land and buy it, at least a lot of money, to build a house, buy electrical appliances, buy furniture, and buy new clothes and new clothes for the brothers and sisters." Supplies, send them to a good school, find a few reliable nannies and doctors, buy a few cars for you and your brothers and sisters... there are many things that require money, you just take it , not enough for me to have here.”

When Zhao Xiang and others heard that Li You wanted to buy them a car, they were moved, but they couldn't accept it: "Little Yaoer, it's a good thing for you to buy land and build a house for the orphanage. Second brother supports you, but you have to give It’s free for us to buy things, and you can keep the money for yourself.”

"Yes, yes, the money is yours, we can't spend it." Liu Dong answered quickly.

Zhang Ping and Zhang An also expressed that they don't need it: "You are the youngest son, we are elder brothers, how could it be possible to take advantage of you."

Li You knew that they were all sincerely treating him well, but he kept this friendship in his heart, but he also wanted to express and make up for it in his own way.

"No, this is my intention, you must accept it, or I will be angry!"

Li You pursed his mouth, and looked like I'll cry for you if you don't agree, which made a few people laugh and helpless, but more importantly, they were full of warmth and touch.

Wang Guohua felt a pain in his chest, and suppressed the sour and astringent emotion: "Okay, this is Xiaoyaoer's wish, let's continue. Are you satisfied now?"

"Hee hee, thank you, brother. After buying the car, I will buy you a house. However, the house should be bought after you like it."

Li You has money in his hand, and Xiang Dongming and Yue Zhenghan are big donors who have no shortage of money and are generous. He really wants to exchange all the money into good things and give it all to his brothers and sisters.

"That won't work!" This time, Wang Guohua will never compromise: "You can buy the house if you want, but it will be regarded as the money we borrowed from you, and we will return it to you in the future."

"Big brother..."

Wang Guohua's face turned cold, and he said forcefully, "Listen to me this time!"

Others also immediately expressed that they insisted on the same position as the elder brother.

Li You pouted dissatisfiedly, and grabbed Wang Guohua's arm to act coquettishly.

Wang Guohua's face is not good-looking, and he will definitely be angry if this continues.

Seeing this, Xia Qi quickly poked him: "Let's leave it at that, we still have business to discuss."

Li You could only nod unwillingly, thinking that when the time comes to buy a house and pay the full price, the household name will be written in the names of his brothers and sisters, even if they pay back the money, then hand it over to Li's mother.

Wang Guohua showed everyone the information about a piece of land he was looking forward to in a neighboring city, and then discussed the building structure and exterior design after collective agreement. It was not until Li's mother asked them to eat outside that it was reluctantly over.

And everyone's face is full of excitement and anticipation.
