Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

"Xiao Shen, kids, dinner's ready."

Aunt Cui came out of the house and called out, and the children immediately swarmed to the kitchen.

Then they lined up in order of arrival, not by age, and no one was supposed to give way to anyone else, because that would be the most unfair thing to do.

There are seventeen children in the orphanage, up from twenty originally, but three of them passed away a few years ago.

At that time, Shen Qingzhou's cultivation was still shallow, and he was not able to transfer the lesion. They could only blame their bad luck.

This incident also gave Shen Qingzhou a deeper understanding of life.

People subconsciously think that everyone will eventually grow old and die, but in fact, people don't only die when they get old; death can come at any time.

Fortunately, although the children at the Giraffe Welfare Home have various physical disabilities, they are all able to take care of themselves.

Unlike some welfare homes where many children are bedridden year-round, requiring constant care for eating, drinking, and toileting, with swollen heads, hunched bodies, and confused minds, these facilities consume the most toilet paper and diapers. It's a living hell, a truly pitiful sight.

Shen Qingzhou held Daidai and stood at the back of the line. Shen Weiming was in front of him.

This child is seventeen years old and in high school. He is tall and strong and very energetic. The only regret is that his left eye is deeply sunken and he is missing an eyeball.

"Brother Xiaozhou, give Daidai to me, you go eat first."

Shen Weiming reached out to hug her, but Shen Qingzhou gently avoided him.

"No need, I can hold him."

While the two were talking, Daidai remained perched on Shen Qingzhou's shoulder, like a little sloth, without moving.

Shen Weiming didn't insist any further. Instead, he went around to Shen Qingzhou's back and made him stand in front.

Shen Qingzhou didn't stand on ceremony and casually asked about his studies, and then asked if he had been bullied at school.

As for discrimination, it goes without saying that it exists.

Discrimination is everywhere.

Back when Shen Qingzhou was in school, he faced a lot of discrimination simply because he was an orphan, not to mention that Shen Weiming and the others were disabled.

Discrimination is okay. There aren't that many bad people in this society, but there aren't that many good people either. Discrimination is everywhere and not unexpected, as long as you're not bullied.

"No, everyone has been very kind to me," Shen Weiming said.

"If you're really being bullied, tell me and I'll help you. Your most important thing right now is to study, don't let anything else distract you," Shen Qingzhou said with the care of a patriarch.

"I understand, Brother Xiaozhou, thank you for your concern." Shen Weiming was very sensible.

Children in welfare homes are all well-behaved, because no one will indulge them.

Looking at the well-behaved Shen Weiming, Shen Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh that the Giraffe Welfare Home had truly declined.

Back when he was in school, he was always fighting with people. Everyone in the surrounding schools knew about the Giraffe Welfare Home, and they would avoid them. It was good enough if they weren't bullied, let alone bullied.

However, the school was chaotic back then, but the environment is much better now; at least many things are not out in the open.

Unlike them back then, when they got angry, they would even hurt their teachers.

"Xiao Shen, you're in for a treat today! We have your favorite minced meat and eggplant."

Aunt Zhao, who was serving Shen Qingzhou's food, said with a smile, and then piled his plate full.

Behind Shen Qingzhou was Daidai, who had been put down from his arms and was now holding a large stainless steel rice bowl.

Everyone else in the orphanage ate from plates, but she was the only one who used a bowl because she was too small to hold the plate steady.

After getting her food, Shen Qingzhou didn't leave. She just stood there with her tray, watching without offering any help.

Then she saw her staring blankly at Aunt Zhao, who was serving food. Aunt Zhao didn't urge her, but just waited quietly.

About thirty seconds later, it seemed like he finally realized what was happening. He stood on tiptoe and slowly placed the rice bowl on the counter, then gently pushed it further in.

Aunt Zhao then smiled and served her a generous portion of food.

After finishing, he gently tapped the rim of the bowl twice with the rice spoon, as if reminding Daidai to take the bowl away.

She stood there blankly for another ten seconds, as if only then realizing what was happening, before tiptoeing and reaching out to take her "rice bowl" away.

Shen Qingzhou then led her to the sycamore tree. Some of the children had already finished eating and found a place to sit down, sitting close to him.

"Let's eat," Shen Qingzhou said.

Then he started eating by himself. After taking several bites, he heard Daidai say "Oh," and then he started using his little spoon.

Just then, there was another knock on the gate.

"Huh, what's going on today?" Shen Qingzhou asked, somewhat surprised.

Zhao Xuliang, who was playing with Xiao Qiu nearby, also stopped what he was doing, wondering if his daughter had come back.

Then they heard someone call out from outside the door: "Dean, it's me, Zhao Haitang, who just came by."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuliang hurriedly walked towards the door, and Shen Qingzhou also put down her plate and got up to open the door.

When the door was opened, Zhao Haitang stood there with flushed cheeks, her temples damp with sweat, and several large plastic bags at her feet.

She said, panting, "Director, I bought some food for the children."

"Did you just buy all of these?" Shen Qingzhou asked, somewhat surprised.

"Well, I didn't know what to buy, and I didn't have much money, so I just bought some snacks. I don't know if my younger siblings will like them," Zhao Haitang said.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Qingzhou's eyes, then she stepped aside and said, "Come in, have you eaten?"

"No... I've already eaten."

Zhao Haitang saw that people were eating in the courtyard and quickly changed his address.

"Then let's eat some more."

Shen Qingzhou helped her carry the bag into the yard.

Zhao Haitang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'll have to bother you, Dean. Oh, I forgot to ask how you should address me."

"My surname is Shen, and my name is Shen Qingzhou. You can call me Brother Shen," Shen Qingzhou said.

"Yes, Dean Shen."

Zhao Haitang did not take advantage of the situation to curry favor, but instead continued to address him politely as Dean.

"Aunt Zhao, bring another meal," Shen Qingzhou called out to the aunties sitting on the porch.

Seeing one of the women stand up, Zhao Haitang quickly went over to her and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Shen Qingzhou put down the bag in her hand and glanced at it. Inside, besides snacks, there were also some school supplies. It could only be said that this girl really put her heart into it.

Shen Qingzhou picked up her plate again and said to Zhao Xuliang beside her, "She's such a good girl."

"Right..."

Zhao Xuliang looked smug upon hearing this, but his expression immediately froze.

With a bitter expression, he said, "Boss, she's still young, please let her go."

"Pah! What do you take me for?" Shen Qingzhou retorted angrily.

Zhao Xuliang thought to himself, "It's precisely because I know you so well that I'm afraid."

Just then, a small voice suddenly spat out a "Pah!" from the side.

Turning around, I saw him blankly mimicking me.

"You can't learn that."

Shen Qingzhou laughed and reached out to pat her little head. Xiao Qiu stood to the side, looking on with envy.

Zhao Haitang was a very quiet and polite girl. After finishing her meal, she even offered to help the aunt wash the dishes, but was refused. She left two hundred yuan before saying goodbye to Shen Qingzhou.

Shen Qingzhou was even more surprised. He knew Zhao Haitang's financial situation very well. Not only did she buy so many things, but she was also willing to pay for them.

But instead of letting Zhao Haitang take the money back, he took out a business card and handed it to her.

"If you encounter anything you can't handle in the future, you can call me," Shen Qingzhou said.

"Anything," Shen Qingzhou emphasized finally.

Zhao Haitang didn't think much of it and happily accepted it.

She was a little surprised when she saw the name on the business card, but she didn't say anything and just carefully put it away.

"What a good girl." Shen Qingzhou sighed as he watched her leave.

Zhao Xuliang's face grew even more bitter.

Shen Qingzhou glanced at him sideways, thinking to herself how this old rascal could have given birth to such a beautiful and outstanding daughter.

Could it be that his wife was worried from the beginning that he was working too hard and had others do all the physical labor?
