Chapter: 1068

He thought Li Xiaofen would envy Xiao Churan's good looks or physique, but he didn't expect her to envy him finding his own...

As it turns out, she was raised by following her own brother since childhood, and even knowing she's poor, she thinks herself lucky.

Xiao Churan also heard this and felt some mixed emotions.

Li Xiaofen said seriously, "Auntie, my brother Ye Chen is the best man I've seen. You must treat him well! He's always taken care of us from childhood, working hard on construction sites to earn money for our education and improve our living conditions after we left the welfare institution. The welfare institution raised so many people, and only one person, my brother Ye Chen, is grateful and willing to repay their kindness!"

Xiao Churan was shocked by what she heard.

She only knew that Ye Chen lived a hard life before marrying her, which her grandfather found at the construction site, but she didn't know that Ye Chen started working on construction sites at 18 and gave all his money away to the welfare institution.

It's no wonder that when I got married to him, he had no property and even needed to borrow money from my grandfather just to get a haircut before the wedding.

When combined with what he did for Aunt Li, fundraising for her medical treatment, Xiao Churan suddenly felt that this old man of hers had an extraordinary side!

She couldn't help but ask Ye Chen, "Why didn't you ever tell me about all these things?"

Ye Chen replied calmly, "What's there to talk about when one is struggling with poverty and hardship?"

After saying that, Ye Chen didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore and quickly changed the subject, asking Li Xiaofen, "By the way, Xiao Fen, where is Aunt Li?"

Li Xiaofen said, "Aunt Li is discussing some work-related matters with the director. She says to let me go ahead and take care of you two, and she'll be here soon."

As she spoke, Li Xiaofen's face lit up with excitement as she asked, "Ye Chen, do you want to go back to the welfare institution for a visit? You haven't been there in ages!"

He had lived at this welfare institution from the age of eight to eighteen, and he was extremely fond of this place.

However, I had been struggling with poverty for a long time before that, and didn't have the face to come back.

Now that I've made some money, I should go take a look at the welfare institution and see if there are any needs that can be helped. Then I can help solve them when the time comes.

So he nodded his head in agreement, saying, "Let's just take a walk around then."

Li Xiaofen was overjoyed and quickly grabbed Ye Chen's arm, leading him inside.

Ye Chen had to let her pull him along while also holding onto his wife Xiu Ru's hand tightly.

Xiu Ru's heart rate increased slightly, but she still allowed him to lead her into the welfare institution.

Gold Mountain Welfare Institution was built in the last century and has a history of over several decades. The buildings here are all relatively short stone structures, with each building having a history of several decades.

Ye Chen saw that this place was very similar to how it was when he lived here many years ago, so he couldn't help but ask Li Xiaofen, "Have the welfare institution's facilities been expanded or renovated over the past few years?"

Li Xiaofen replied, "We have thought about expanding, but the funds have always been tight. We've had a lot more children than before, and the director and Aunt Li think it's better to use our money on the children. As for the physical conditions, we'll just cut back where we can."

Ye Chen looked at the courtyard, but those already rusted slides, seesaws, and swings in his heart felt both familiar and unpleasant.

These toys were all played with when he was a kid, which means they have had at least 20 years of history. JrNovels.com
