Chapter: 963

Before he married Xiao Churan, his days were very hard.

Because the orphanage didn't accept adults, so on his 18th birthday, Li Auntie used her own savings to buy him a birthday cake and celebrate his birthday, tears streaming down her face as she sent him out of the orphanage.

At that moment, Lei Chen once again became an isolated and helpless soul in this world, with no one to rely on.

Li Auntie was very keen to help him, wanting to introduce him to job opportunities and provide a living allowance for him, but he didn't dare ask.

He found a construction site on his own and started working alongside others at the age of 18, moving bricks, carrying sand, and carrying cement.

He couldn't bear the thought of renting a room, so he kept living in the dormitory on the construction site, eating the cheapest food and doing the most tiring, heavy, and dirty work.

The money he earned, he only kept a small portion for his daily life, and all the rest was donated to the orphanage.

Because, the orphanage also has many siblings who are as helpless and destitute as himself, they haven't grown up yet and need more care and love.

However, the orphanage is limited in funds and can only ensure they have enough to eat and wear, but cannot guarantee they will have a good life.

So, he didn't spare any effort and donated all his savings to his siblings to improve their lives, even buying them textbooks so they could study well.

By the time he had been working at the construction site for four years, his team was hired by the Xu family to work on a project for them.

When Xu's old master came to inspect the site, he took one look and saw that Lei Chen looked almost identical to his grandfather when he was young.

Xu's old master recognized Lei Chen's grandfather because the Xu family had been the servants of the Li family for a hundred years!

Xu's old master had been on the run since his generation, fleeing to Beijing, where they nearly starved to death before being taken in by the Li family.

To repay their kindness, they voluntarily became lifelong servants of the Li family.

At that time, the Li family was already one of the largest families in Shijiazhuang, with a kind-hearted head who treated his servants very well, allowing them to get married and have children, making it possible for them to live comfortably in the Li family's compound.

Xu's old master was born and raised in the Li family.

Later on, Xu's old master's father grew up and voluntarily sold himself to the Ye family, continuing to serve the Ye family.

Subsequently, Xu's old master was also born in the Ye family.

Therefore, from his childhood to his youth, he grew up and worked as a servant in the Ye family.

The head of the Ye family, who was similar in age to Xu's old master, grew up together with him, but their social status was vastly different, so Xu's old master recognized him, but he didn't recognize Xu's old master.

Later on, they prepared to evacuate and avoid war, but couldn't take many servants along, so they gave a generous resettlement fee to the majority of the servants and sent them off.

Xu's old master was one of those who received the resettlement fee from the Ye family and returned to his hometown.

Therefore, when he saw Lei Chen at that moment, he definitely recognized him as a descendant of the Ye family.

As a result, under repeated questioning, Lei Chen finally revealed his background. JrNovels.com
