The two of them stared at each other for a while. Xia You sighed resignedly and said, “How do you know about this?”

“Your mother told me about it. She didn’t know how to ask you, so she came to look for me,” Qiao Mei replied frankly.

“Actually, this matter is a very simple one. That man ?or I should say, that boy is a poor student whom Lu Huai and I used to sponsor,” Xia You said.

Qiao Mei still had some doubts about what Xia You just said, but it did not sound too far-fetched. It was possible for a boy of 16 or 17 years old to be as tall as an adult, but that still did not explain why they were tugging at each other?

Xia You slowly explained the whole issue to Qiao Mei. The kid’s name was Gao Jie. He was the son of one of Lu Huai’s seniors among the truck drivers, Gao Lei. At that time, Lu Huai was not a team leader yet, just a part of the convoy team. One year, when Gao Lei was on a delivery trip, he encountered a mudslide and the truck was knocked off the cliff with him still inside. Gao Lei’s wife was extremely affected by the tragedy and passed away a year later. That year, Gao Jie was only 10 years old.

Gao Jie had always been a smart boy with a photographic memory and he was very studious. In the beginning, all the team members would pool together some money for Gao Jie. However, the amount dwindled when everyone started making less money. Lu Huai could not bear to see the boy being affected by this. He did not have much of an aptitude for studying, so he was fond of people who studied hard. In the end, Lu Huai continued to sponsor Gao Jie on his own.

“This is a good idea! This is considered doing good deeds! Good deeds will accumulate merit! I want to join in too!” Xia You said.

“It’s not an easy task and we have to put more thought into it. We also need to look for a location, among other miscellaneous stuff. We can’t rush this,” Qiao Mei said.

“I just bought a big piece of land on the edge of the city. My original plan is to build a vehicle parking area for Lu Huai, but it looks like it has come in handy now!” Xia You said excitedly.

When Qiao Mei heard the address, her eyes instantly lit up. In the future, it would fall within the five inner ring roads of the capital! This was a top-notch location! It was the perfect spot for a welfare academy since the children could easily head out to the surroundings to have fun during the holidays.

This issue needed proper planning and she also needed to discuss it with the government! The most important thing now was to quickly untie the knot in Liu Fen’s heart!

Qiao Mei pulled Xia You along to tell Liu Fen the whole story. Liu Fen raised her hand angrily and was about to hit Xia You when Xu Lan stopped her and said, “Why do you want to hit her! The child didn’t do anything wrong! What are you doing!”

“I’m angry that she didn’t tell me about this earlier! Why didn’t she bring the kid home so that we can take good care of him! That kid must have suffered a lot on his own,” Liu Fen said.

“If I’m bringing up ‘my child’ when I haven’t even given birth yet, people are going to talk about it. What if they gossip about me and say that I’m infertile? I just want to avoid inviting trouble ” Xia You said aggrievedly.
