Chapter 201 Good Deeds Bring Good Fortune
Watching Zhou Yongcheng walk away, the dean couldn't help but cry.
She doesn't know how she's managed all these years. She's not afraid of anything else, but she's afraid that the children won't have enough to eat or wear, and she's even more afraid that the children will get sick.
"Mommy Dean, why are you crying?" a little girl who looked only a few years old said, hugging the dean's leg.
"I'm happy."
She bent down and hugged the little girl, who then wiped away the tears from the dean's face.
Due to the preference for sons over daughters, orphanages are mostly filled with girls, with very few boys, and those who are boys are usually born with defects.
The dean carefully hid the money, worked for a while, and then started cooking. The teenagers were also busy, helping to wash vegetables and tend the fire. Basically, everyone was busy.
After finishing his meal and cleaning up the kitchen, the dean began to consider how to spend the money he had received that day.
First, the orphanage definitely needs to be repaired. The orphanage's walls have collapsed. Although the place is remote, bad people still visit from time to time, and the children's safety cannot be guaranteed. So, the walls need to be rebuilt first. Then, the children's living conditions and meals also need to be improved. The children lack oil and fat, and they are all very thin.
Every change to the orphanage costs money, but the money must be spent wisely.
The next morning, the director told the children not to run out to play, and especially reminded the older children not to see the younger children. Then she left the orphanage.
After walking for more than half an hour, she arrived at the market, which was the closest market to the orphanage and the market she was most familiar with.
She found two middle-aged men who were looking for work.
"Do you know how to build a wall?"
"Big sister, bricklaying is our specialty, our skills are top-notch."
How much does it cost per day?
The two men exchanged a glance and said, "How about sixty?"
Lunch is not included.
"No way, no way. How can you work without lunch?"
After the dean left, they looked for several more people, but no one was willing to do it. In the end, two young men in their twenties took on the bricklaying job.
The director then bought some daily necessities and led the two young men to the orphanage.
The two young men felt a chill when they saw the orphanage; they wondered if the director was looking for free labor.
It's no wonder they thought that way, because the orphanage was too dilapidated; it was impossible for them to afford to hire people to work there.
But when they saw the children at the orphanage, they remained silent and stayed to repair the wall surrounding the orphanage.
A few days later, Wu Changji brought his eldest son, Wu Yuanlong, to express their gratitude for saving his life.
They were carrying two boxes of money, which looked like several million.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, Taoist priest. This incense money is just a small token of our gratitude."
Zhou Yongcheng didn't look at the money on the table. "I don't need this. Just keep walking along that road and you'll see an orphanage. Donate the money you brought to that orphanage."
Wu Changji felt ashamed. The Taoist priest was so young and could treat money like dirt, while they were so rich, yet they only donated a small amount to charity every year.
The two men bowed to Zhou Yongcheng, took the money, and left the Taoist temple.
"Dad, didn't you say you wanted to ask a Taoist priest to tell our fortunes?"
"There's no need for that. The Taoist priest has already given the answer."
"How do you know the answer before you've even asked?"
"When people do good, even if blessings haven't arrived, misfortune has already departed; when people do evil, even if misfortune hasn't arrived, blessings have already departed. Isn't my meeting with the Taoist master also due to good fortune?"
He recalled what the Taoist priest had said when he met him before: that meeting was predestined, and that the priest had a kind face and a compassionate heart. He thought that if he hadn't been doing charity work so often, he probably wouldn't have met the priest, and even if he had, the priest probably wouldn't have said much.
They descended the mountain, got into a car, and followed the path indicated by the Taoist priest. At the end of a small road, they saw a dilapidated courtyard, which must have been the orphanage the priest had mentioned.
Upon seeing the car approaching, the children at the orphanage looked curiously towards the gate; they were quite fascinated by the little car.
The dean also saw the car parked at the gate, and she came out.
The father and son, Wu Changji, got out of the car and saw the hospital director come out.
"Are you the director of this orphanage?" Wu Changji asked.
"Yes, that's me. May I ask what brings you here?"
"We have been entrusted by the abbot of that Taoist temple over there to deliver some money."
Wu Yuanlong took two boxes out of the car.
Wu Changji pointed to the box and said, "This money is the incense money that the Taoist priest specifically requested. In addition to the money given by the Taoist priest, we also plan to sponsor this orphanage. Can we go in and take a look?"
The dean was pleased that someone had finally noticed them and invited them into the courtyard.
Two young men who were repairing the wall outside saw Wu Changji and his group.
"Brother, a car has come to this orphanage. Do you think our wages will be settled now?"
"Just shut up. Hasn't the dean paid you these past few days?"
"I'm just worried that I won't get paid for the work later."
"So what if we can't get the money? Don't you see how many poor children there are here? We can do our part to repair the wall, which is also a good deed."
The other young man stopped talking and just kept working.
Wu Changji and his son went into the house and saw the walls with holes, the table with broken legs, and the incomplete quilt. They slept on the ground, and the place they slept on was made of grass.
There were many rat holes in the house, which were blocked with stones. Other facilities, such as the bathroom and toilet, were even worse; they were too unbearable to look at.
The children's clothes were made of patchwork fabric, and some children didn't even have shoes.
After visiting the orphanage, Wu Changji couldn't help but shed tears.
He had never lived in a house like this even when he was at his poorest and most destitute.
“Yuanlong, the orphanage is too small. Buy the surrounding area and donate it to the orphanage. Have someone redesign it and we will fund the renovation to the highest standards. I will come to check on it regularly.”
"Okay father."
Upon hearing this, the dean, unsure of how to express himself, knelt down before Wu Changji.
Wu Changji quickly helped her up.
“I cannot accept your kneeling. You are too great. You asked so many children for help in such a dilapidated place. No one else could do that.”
Wu Changji chatted with the dean for a while before leaving.
The next day, Wu Yuanlong came to the orphanage with some people. They planned to buy surrounding land and plan the development of the area.
Because the orphanage was to be demolished and rebuilt, the director and her children were relocated to other places, and all expenses were paid by Wu Changji.
Even the two workers who helped repair the orphanage's walls were assigned to the orphanage's construction team; they were considered lucky.
Zhou Yongcheng was very satisfied with Wu Changji's actions. With a simple click, he ensured the Wu family's financial prosperity. Their future success depended on their merits and their own abilities.
More than a week later, the first batch of special medicine that Cheng Yong had sold began to show results.
After taking the special medicine, they felt much better and didn't feel as uncomfortable as before. They also had a good appetite.
Those patients with milder symptoms felt their bodies had returned to normal after taking the medication.
However, just to be on the safe side, they still went to the hospital for a check-up, and the others also came to the hospital to see their test results.
