The floor where the archives are stored is dark, and sunlight cannot reach this dark room.
After opening it, a musty smell hit her nostrils. Xu Yangyang covered her nose and watched her aunt take out a kraft paper bag that looked like it had just been sealed among a pile of files.
"Xiaohua's file is here. If you don't believe it, take a good look."
The aunt opened it in front of Xu Yangyang angrily. The two thin pieces of paper represented Xiaohua's entire life.
On the A4 paper, it was clearly written that Xiaohua had been adopted. There was a steel seal and a photo of Xiaohua on it.
With the help of the dim light, Xu Yangyang could clearly see Xiaohua's appearance.
He was as thin as the children here, or even thinner than them. There was no smile at the corner of his mouth, and his big eyes looked a little scary because of his thinness.
"Is this Xiaohua?" Xu Yangyang frowned and asked, "Why does she look so thin?"
"She has a very good personality. Although she is very thin and looks scary, she has a good foundation. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up." The aunt said, putting away Xiaohua's file: "So when the couple saw Xiaohua I liked her very much and took her away immediately.”
The aunt looked very calm, but Xu Yangyang could tell from her eager movements that Xiaohua had not been adopted at all, and she was probably still locked up somewhere by them.
Xu Yangyang did not get too entangled in Xiaohua's matter, and instead followed her aunt out of the archives room.
"The environment here is really bad. No wonder the children's health doesn't look good."
Xu Yangyang finally came here, so how could she leave according to her aunt's wishes? She felt that this place was very big and suitable for hiding people. Maybe Xiaohua was in this place, otherwise her aunt wouldn't have locked it.
"Because there is no money, the director spends all the money on the children, so there is no other money to renovate the equipment of the orphanage."
In the aunt's words, the dean looked too majestic, even a saint, and was unparalleledly kind to the children.
If Xu Yangyang hadn't seen the scars on the children, she might really believe what she said.
"Then what about your salary? Will the dean not pay it to you?"
Xu Yangyang tried every means to delay time, and also wanted to find out the origins of these two aunts.
After all, these two aunts are also very cruel to the children. It’s not that no one enters the same door along the way, these two women are probably the same as the dean!
"We all live here, and we don't have much expenses on weekdays. We don't care if the dean occasionally fails to pay his salary."
The aunt also said that she was great. After seeing sympathy and pity on Xu Yangyang's face, she felt relieved.
At least the woman in front of him looked easy to deceive. If so, their lies might not be exposed by this couple.
For the current welfare home, Xu Yangyang and his wife are actually very difficult to deal with. If they can really be sent away with a child, it doesn't matter if they can't get money in exchange.
Of course, this matter is what Auntie thinks about, and the real decision-making power is still in the hands of the dean.
Seeing that Xu Yangyang was very curious about everything, the aunt thought of the dean's words and asked: "Don't look at it as shabby here. In fact, it covers a large area and there are abandoned buildings behind it. Please don't wander around."
Now Xu Yangyang became curious: "Is it so big? It seems that there are many places that can be used."
The aunt smiled but said nothing, left the house with Xu Yangyang and locked the door.
Xu Yangyang looked at the key and followed her aunt to the children's activity room.
Originally, the children here were very lively after the aunt left. After the aunt and Xu Yangyang returned here, they behaved well again, as if they were afraid of the aunt.
After staying here for a while, Xu Yangyang stretched and said to her aunt: "There are so many children here. I'll go back and have a rest first. Let's talk about it during dinner in the evening."
The aunt nodded and watched Xu Yangyang leave. After returning to her room, she came to where the dean was.
The dean's office was completely different from the outside. Landscape paintings and various decorations and luxury goods were everywhere inside. He was currently wiping his most precious purple clay pot. When he saw his aunt come in, he didn't even raise his head.
"Did they choose the child?"
"No, that Ms. Xu still wants to find Xiaohua." The aunt dutifully explained to the dean how Xu Yangyang found Xiaohua.
"The mouths of those children should be sewn shut with needles, and each one should be like a colander. No matter how many times you tell them, you must tell them!"
The dean's hands shook with anger, and the purple clay pot fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.
This time the dean became even more angry. He suddenly stood up and came to the aunt: "Who said it? Arrest him and I will give him a few mouthfuls!"
All the children here are the dean's punching bag when he is angry, and some of them have even been severely beaten by the dean!
"I don't know, but I saw Yunyun and Ms. Xu together before. I think maybe she said it." The aunt shrank, and in order to prevent the dean's fist from falling on her, she hurriedly pulled out a backrest .
"Yunyun? That child is indeed smart. I originally planned to let the person named Xu adopt her. It seems that the beatings she received when she was caught and brought back after running away with Chenchen were not enough!"
The dean took out the whip from the drawer and walked out angrily: "Where is Yunyun?"
"Old place, I took her out of the lounge after I found her with Ms. Xu." The aunt saw this and had no intention of stopping her, because she knew that as long as she stopped, the whip would fall on her.
The children here are all wretches whose parents don't care for them. They are goods for them to make money. It's not worth it to involve yourself in the life and death of a few goods!
Walking along the yard to a hidden corner, there is a rusty iron door, which opens to reveal a long black passage.
This orphanage had its glory days, and many buildings fell into disuse after the director took over.
At first, the director took over the orphanage because of the money from social welfare. Later, he found that the money from buying and selling children was much higher than the money from embezzling social donations, so he made a bad idea.
At that time, the entire orphanage had no money for maintenance, and the staff left one after another. Only these two aunts who were the same as the director stayed here to maintain the operation of the orphanage.
Opening a closed door, the dean glared at the children huddled in the corner and picked Yunyun out from the crowd: "Are you really brave? You don't want to give up and want to help others leave here?"
Yunyun was pulled by the dean's hair, with tears on his face: "Dean, I didn't say anything, I didn't do anything, I don't know anything!"
