However, the matron would ask her for money every now and then. In order to earn money, Jiang Jiu worked so hard that she did not even have time to tidy herself up, let alone find a boyfriend.
Despite this, Jiang Jiu was still grateful to the matron.
After all, if the matron had not heard her cries and carried her to the orphanage, she would have died in that cold and hungry winter. She would not be where she was now.
However …
Jiujiu was not Jiang Jiu.
She could continue to give the matron money on behalf of Jiang Jiu, but she would only give the money within her means. She did not want the matron to use her relationship with Feng Tianyu to buy the orphanage's land, expand the orphanage, and provide a considerable amount of funding to the orphanage every year.
If Jiujiu had the money, Jiujiu would be willing to give the orphanage as much money as she wanted.
After all, opening an orphanage was a good thing.
However, Jiujiu was now just an employee working in a company. In fact, she was just a salaried employee.
She could barely take care of herself, but there was nothing else she could do.
Moreover, the matron kept saying that every child in the orphanage was exactly the same as her biological child. However, she kept forcing Jiujiu to do things that were obviously detrimental to her future.
Shouldn't a real mother think for her child?
Why did the matron keep trying to use moral coercion to achieve her own goals?
Jiujiu looked at the matron's face and said, "You were the one who told them that I was there, right?"
In the matron's memory, Jiang Jiu was still a skinny, small, and average-looking child. She was completely different from the woman sitting opposite her at this moment, who had a strong aura and a delicate face. It was obvious that she lived in the upper echelons of society.
The matron raised her hand and adjusted her glasses. She quickly got used to this.
The matron looked at Jiujiu with her eyes that had turned cloudy from the vicissitudes of life. She said in a low and hoarse voice, "Yes, what's wrong? Don't you want to find your biological parents? "
"Yes."
Jiang Jiu had indeed always wanted to find her biological parents.
"But shouldn't you have told me in advance?"
Jiujiu looked at the head of the hospital. "Shouldn't a parent who can leave their child in the middle of a snowy day ask for my opinion?"
She looked at Jiujiu disapprovingly and said, "No matter how they treated you in the past, they are still your parents. They gave you life, so you should forgive them. Besides, they promised me that they would treat you well in the future. Why can't you forgive them?"
Jiujiu almost laughed out loud at the director's words.
"They promised you that they would treat me well in the future?" Jiujiu looked at the director's mother in disbelief. "If the murderer promises that he won't kill again in the future, shouldn't the police let him go immediately?"
What kind of logic was this?
As long as the bad guys were willing to admit their mistakes, they could be forgiven regardless of what atrocities they had committed in the past?
This was ridiculous.
"Are you refuting me?"
The director's mother's face darkened when she heard Jiujiu's retort. "Jiang Jiu, I told you when you were young that you should be forgiving whenever possible. Why can't you put yourself in other people's shoes?"
The director's mother said that she had told Jiang Jiu when she was young that she should be forgiving whenever possible because the orphanage used to receive limited funding every year. Moreover, most of the funding had to be used to treat the sick children, so there was very little money allocated to food.
As a result, she could not eat a mouthful of meat for ten days to half a month even though she was still growing.
Jiang Jiu loved the 15th of every month the most when she was young because she could get a mouthful of meat on the 15th of every month.
Instead of calling it a piece of meat, it was more like a piece of fat.
Moreover, due to the improper cooking method, the meat still tasted fishy when she bit into it. It was actually not very delicious.
However, life in the orphanage was too tough. Hence, this mouthful of fat became the spiritual support of many children.
At least, that was the case for Jiang Jiu.
Jiang Jiu loved this mouthful of fat the most. However, there was a girl named Jiang Cha among the orphans at that time. As she had heart disease since she was young, she often snatched Jiang Jiu's food just because the director liked her. Now, she even wanted to snatch Jiang Jiu's favorite mouthful of fat.
Jiang Jiu could give Jiang Cha other things, but this mouthful of meat was something she had been looking forward to for more than a month. Jiang Jiu was unwilling to give it to her, so she did not give it to her.
Just like her name, Jiang Cha exuded the scent of tea leaves.
Jiang Cha did not complain. She just sat there and cried quietly.
Jiang Cha was very good-looking when she was young. Her big eyes were as cute as a Barbie doll's. There were countless boys in the orphanage who liked Jiang Cha. Hence, Jiang Cha did not take the initiative to speak up. However, some of Jiang Cha's admirers spoke up for her.
Jiang Jiu was scolded by the director's mother who rushed over. In order to punish Jiang Jiu, Jiang Jiu lost the mouthful of fat that belonged to her forever.
Actually, after she grew up, Jiang Jiu could no longer remember the taste of the mouthful of fat. However, she would always remember the director's favoritism and Jiang Cha's smug smile.
Jiang Cha's heart disease was actually very serious. All these years, she had been relying on the director's mother to raise money for surgery to continue living. Now, she had reached the point where she had to get a heart transplant.
The director's mother kept forcing Jiang Jiu to ask for money. She wanted Jiujiu to expand the orphanage and wanted Jiujiu to fund it. However, the most important thing was that Jiang Cha could continue living.
The director's mother kept saying that Jiujiu was selfish, but in reality, wasn't she the most selfish person?
She kept saying that all the children in the orphanage were as important as her own, but in reality, the most important person in her heart was Jiang Cha.
To her, the existence of the other people in the orphanage could not even compare to a finger of Jiang Cha's.
She could keep forcing Jiang Jiu for Jiang Cha's sake, but Jiujiu suspected that she had not only treated Jiang Jiu that way, but also the other children who had left the orphanage.
She had made so many people work so hard just for Jiang Cha.
Jiujiu looked at the director's mother. "I'm thinking from the perspective of others, but have you ever thought from my perspective?
"It wasn't easy for me to leave the orphanage. I yearned to have a family of my own. I worked very hard, I fell in love very hard, I worked very hard, I worked very hard, I worked very hard, I worked very hard, I worked very hard, I worked very hard, I worked very hard, I worked very hard to be a good dating partner, I wanted to build a happy family so that my children wouldn't have to live in fear like I did. But what about you, Director?
"You know how much I yearn for all of this. Why did you find someone to destroy it?
