Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 1190: Love without blood
"Tianliu, I'm teaching my children to read!" A kind-looking woman in her fifties walked in from the back door of the store with a smile.
"Well, isn't the school closed? To prevent some strange beasts, I'm afraid they won't be able to go to school for the next two days."
"Yes, yes, you can't delay studying. The child is still young. If you delay at this age, it is easy to forget. Come on, study is important and body is more important. Fourth aunt has stewed soup for you, drink it while it is hot."
Zhang Tianliu stood up with a smile, helped his fourth aunt serve soup for the children, took a sip himself and said, "What did Xinqi tell you?"
"Look at you, you are so polite to me." The fourth aunt rolled her eyes at Zhang Tianliu.
The fourth aunt is not Zhang Tianliu’s aunt, but Kang Xinqi’s mother. The reason why she is called fourth aunt is not because her husband is the fourth eldest son of the Kang family. Her husband passed away very early. If the old man hadn’t grown up, the fourth aunt would have been At thirty years old, they might have watched the sunset together.
The word "four" for "fourth aunt" comes from Kang Xinqi.
Behind the store is a compound, but their compound is either a military compound or an ordinary courtyard, similar to a courtyard house. People living here are from all walks of life, and there are a lot of petty thefts.
There were six children in the yard at that time, the eldest Zhang Tianliu, the second eldest Zhang Qingqiu, and the fourth aunt Kang Xinqi. This is how the fourth aunt came. After all, it was Zhang Tianliu who was the first to call out when he felt troublesome. There were also the third aunt, the fifth aunt, and the sixth aunt. Aunt, it’s just him and Qingqiu who don’t have a mother.
But now they are the only two families left in the yard.
I don’t know whether it’s because of the good Feng Shui here or something else, but Lao San, Lao Wu, and Lao Liu’s family either made a lot of money or made a small fortune. They all bought houses outside and moved out one after another.
Afterwards, it was calculated that the yard had been bought by the old man and the fourth aunt. Of course, it was Zhang Tianliu who suggested it. The small shop was built after the courtyard wall was demolished. As for the money, the fourth aunt openly contributed a quarter. But it’s actually one-tenth, and the rest can still be done by Zhang Tianliu!
Isn’t it normal to pick up some antiques, jades, martial arts secrets, sunflower books, and moonlight treasure boxes while picking up rags?
At first, the old man wanted to find the owner, but Zhang Tianliu tried his best to persuade him, but he still couldn't find it after three days of persuasion!
In the end it was the old man who gave in.
The reason is that the old man really went to find the owner, but all of them were fake. When asked what treasure he had lost, no one could find it.
No matter how simple the old man is, he still knows that most of these people want to defraud antiques.
Rather than being coveted like this, with the old city nearby being a mixed bag of good and bad, it is better to take action early, buy the yard, and open a store. Not only will the tuition and living expenses be covered after Qingqiu, but also a few more children can be taken care of.
If the real owner comes looking for it, I will die.
This is how the orphanage came to be.
To be precise, it is the Child Welfare Branch. After all, the old man has a good reputation in this area, so it is not difficult to put up a sign. This kind of hospital does not require state funding and is privately funded. At that time, some disgusting people in the neighborhood regarded it as a fool.
Nowadays, every inch of land in this place is precious!
With this name attached, who dares to demolish it?
It was only a year after the old man passed away that anyone mentioned this matter to Zhang Tianliu.
This has not yet come to an end. Strange people and beasts have subverted people's worldview, and this matter will inevitably be postponed.
Zhang Tianliu doesn't care, as long as the price is right, he also wants to give these children a better environment.
Now that it is no longer possible, the yard must be turned into a copper wall and an iron wall to protect these little guys.
In the previous life, my fourth aunt was in a miserable state because of this yard!
They also bought the yard, but they bought it by selling iron. The owner of the yard at that time followed the fashion and wanted to immigrate. What a good thing. But when it was the turn of demolition, they realized that the bargain was not so easy to take advantage of. It occupied an area of more than 1,000 yuan. The demolition costs for Ping's yard were astronomical at that time. A group of gangsters received the news and came to buy it in advance. As a result, the orphans and widows of the Zhang family and Kang family went crazy.
The last time Zhang Tianliu saw his fourth aunt, she was in a nursing home. She was tied to a wheelchair and basking in the sun. Her white hair was messy, and she looked like an old beggar. She no longer recognized Zhang Tianliu who appeared in front of her.
In Zhang Tianliu's heart, his fourth aunt is his real mother!
I have loved going to her house to have dinner since I was a child.
She was invited to parent-teacher conferences.
It's a pity that the old man is so stubborn. Zhang Tianliu has created so many opportunities for them in this life. Even his fourth aunt doesn't despise being thirty. What a confused old man he is!
"What's wrong? Looking at me like this?" The fourth aunt looked at Zhang Tianliu's slightly dull eyes in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just think the fourth aunt is young and beautiful."
"You are going to die for making fun of the fourth aunt." The fourth aunt raised the spoon as if to hit her.
"If you look like this, it makes me feel like we are like the mother and son in the TV series. Even the lines are similar. How about we play a mother and son when our orphanage holds a gala in the future."
The fourth aunt rolled her eyes at Zhang Tianliu and said: "What a beautiful idea. I want to find my son and also Qingqiu. Look, you are still the elder brother. Not to mention dropping out of junior high school, I also know the difficulties you and Old Man Zhang are having. It’s for Qingqiu! But now you don’t have a lot of money, can’t you think about yourself?”
"Holy shit, I don't think about myself enough?" Zhang Tianliu couldn't laugh or cry.
The fourth aunt frowned and said cautiously: "Why are you pretending to be stupid with the fourth aunt? We are already thirty years old, so you should think about it!"
Zhang Tianliu was very confused and said: "I feel strange too. Fourth aunt, tell me, am I handsome?"
The fourth aunt said angrily: "Handsome, you would be even more handsome if you didn't open your mouth."
“There are many girls who come to our store to buy things, but why don’t any of them confess to me?”
The fourth aunt suddenly looked at a group of confused children and said with a wry smile: "Brother Tian, it seems that you will inherit the mantle of your Grandpa Zhang in this life."
"What a mess, according to what you say, I have become my father's grandson."
"At your age, you still have the nerve to let people call you Brother Tian..."
"I didn't ask them to call them that. It was your precious daughter who brought it up. When I talked to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com, I forgot about the business. Don't agree to Qingqiu's proposal. This has all passed. You’re going to be served in one fell swoop!”
The fourth aunt said very understandingly: "I don't like that kind of place either. If the monster really comes, it may be life, but the children..."
"The children can't go either. I will never give in on this matter and there is no need to talk about it."
The fourth aunt still insisted: "Xinqi said that in the future, the institute will have schools ranging from elementary schools to universities, and the children of researchers will study there. They are all intellectuals, so their children must be good..."
Zhang Tianliu interrupted again: "Young Master, I didn't watch the news. The professor's son killed his parents."
"That's a minority. What's more, this kid has been abroad for many years. What's so good about a foreign country? It's a smoky place. The research institute is different and close."
"Close in front of us, far away in the horizon, these guys are all Dayu, the master who has never entered the door. They are too busy to save their lives. Maybe they will cultivate a big alliance of traitors and bring all these little ones under their control. Broken."
"I can't help you." The fourth aunt smiled bitterly. Seeing that the children had finished drinking the soup, she hurriedly cleaned up and went back to the courtyard.
