Chapter 813: Extra 2

My name is Xie Qingzheng; my mother hoped I would read more books, be upright in character, and be upright throughout my life.

The Xie Family is a den of iniquity, and looking at that bunch of deceitful people, he felt disgusted.

Ever since his mother passed away, at a young age, he resolutely left the Xie Family to study in other countries.

He had promised his mother he would not take action against the Xie Family.

This promise, he fulfilled.

Although he did not take action, wicked people always encounter a hard wall one day, and that wall was An Yinan, who, with lightning speed, destroyed that sinful Clubhouse, directly involving the Hong Kong City Government, the British Consulate, and people from all the major families.

In an instant, the Xie Family became a street rat that everyone shouted to beat, and the demon in his heart was finally able to rest in peace.

Disbanding the Xie Family and donating all its resources to welfare organizations, he went to Huaxia, that mysterious country, because his benefactor was a person of Huaxia.

He was admitted to An Family Welfare and became a teacher, going to a Hope Elementary School.

"Teacher Yun."

That's right, now he is Yun Qingzheng, following his mother's surname.

"Hmm? What is it?" He skillfully combed the child's hair; the children here could not afford to go to school or see a doctor, working during the day and attending class at night.

Especially the girls, who had it even harder.

"Teacher Yun, I might not be able to come tomorrow." Yun Qingzheng's hand paused, but he still asked softly, "Why?"

"My mother said that it's useless for a girl to study, and if I come to study at night, I won't be able to watch my younger brother." That girl was not very old, but there was already disappointment on her face.

She used to be able to study during the day, then after she had a younger brother, she had to look after him during the day, so she studied at night; now, was her time for studying at night going to be taken up by her younger brother too?

Yun Qingzheng finished combing her hair, "Then do you want to study?"

Only by being with these children could he find the purity in his heart—unpolluted, burden-free, and without having to think about that complicated world.

"I want to, Teacher Yun, I want to study."

"I want to walk out of these great mountains, I want to go outside and see what it's like."

"I want to..."

"Leave home."

She wanted to leave that place that trapped her, keeping her stuck there, where every day was nothing but beatings and scoldings, and every day was younger brother, younger brother, younger brother.

She was their child too.

"The outside is very beautiful; there are tall buildings, cars with four wheels, lights of all colors, and the person who sponsors you—she is out there." Yun Qingzheng smiled and said gently.

"Teacher Yun, have you seen her? What kind of person is she? Will she like us?"

The girl tugged at her patch-covered clothes, her dark, dirty hands trembling even as she asked the question.

"She is a very good person; in her eyes, she does not allow for the sight of darkness."

"Seeing her, one feels as if the sun is shining down."

"She is someone who brought her younger brother to the countryside alone, and then walked out of the mountains step by step."

"Ya, you must remember, as long as you are willing to learn, nothing can stop you." He had been in these great mountains for several months now, and looking at the children's numb faces, even with free schooling, the people in the village were still not very proactive.

If someone walked out, would that be the only way to make them understand the importance of learning?

"But my younger brother..." Ya hesitated.

"Then bring your younger brother along too; the children can play together, and you won't fall behind in your studies." Yun Qingzheng smiled and offered the suggestion.

"Can I?" Ya's eyes lit up; this time, she wanted to live for herself, not become an appendage to her younger brother.

"You can." Yun Qingzheng nodded.

This time, he wanted to preserve the light in the children's eyes.

At the Hope Elementary School, he stayed year after year; people came and went, and more and more people realized the importance of learning, and that little girl walked out of the great mountains, went to the city, and saw the path that made her work hard.

He also paved a path for them, hoping they would not forget their original intentions and would keep moving forward.

And as for him, only by staying with the children could he feel that he was clean, as if the blood in his body had been filtered.

Helping one child after another is the path for his future.
