Chapter 514: Kind and Virtuous

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Just like that, Yu Youyao’s first charity hall was hastily organized. Although it was not perfect, at least it could host people.

They would continue to perfect it in the future.

After working hard for a few days, the Graceful Heart Hall finally stabilized.

There were already many children in the Graceful Heart Hall who had received a meager salary with their own hands.

Although there were only a few copper coins, this was their hope for survival.

As children who could only beg and rely on the pity of others to resist the mockery of others, they could only starve and support themselves through their own efforts.

The steward of the Graceful Heart Hall brought over a metal box. “Throw the money you earned today into this box.”

The children subconsciously tightened their grip on the copper coins in their hands and retreated. They looked at the steward warily, unwilling to take out their hard-earned money.

Some children even shouted agitatedly on the spot

“He wants to take our money. Don’t give it to him…”

“Yes, we can’t give it to him. This is our hard-earned money. Why should we give it to him…”

“I used to think that he was a good person, but it turns out that he’s no different from the rascals outside. He deliberately captured us and threatened us to beg along the streets. Now, he wants to take away the money we begged for and give us half a sour and dry steamed bun every day…”

“You bad people…”

“Bad guy…”

The steward did not say anything. He only watched quietly as they shouted, cursed, cried, begged, and spat out their saliva in anger.

It wasn’t that the children didn’t want to escape, but they couldn’t.

This was because if they escaped, they would have no way out.

Even if the Graceful Heart Hall wanted to take their money, it was at least a place that could shelter them from the wind and rain. They couldn’t bear to leave, even though they knew that this was a black-hearted hall.

The children vented for a long time and realized that the steward did not make things difficult for them.

The scene finally quietened down.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded from outside the hall. “No one will snatch the money you’ve worked hard to earn.”

The children were stunned. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at the door.

A little girl was standing outside. She did not look much older than them, but she was wearing a dazzling red cloak with a white collar that covered her from head to toe.

The children thought enviously, ‘It must be warm to wear such clothes. Her family must be very rich.’

When the steward saw Yu Youyao, he quickly went forward and bowed. “Eldest

Miss.”

Yu Youyao nodded slightly. Seeing that he was in a sorry state and the saliva on him had yet to dry, she said, “It’s been hard on you.”

At this moment, a thin child with dark eyes looked at the 11 or 12-year-old

child and asked carefully, “Who are you?

As soon as he spoke, the other children looked at him as he took the lead.

Yu Youyao did not answer. “Shouldn’t you state your name before asking for someone else’s name?

The young man was slightly stunned. He pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, “My name is Er Dan.”

Upon hearing this name, Yu Youyao knew that he was not telling the truth. This young man looked too special among the children. It was obvious at a glance that he came from a good family.

However, Yu Youyao did not plan to pursue the matter.

Er Dan couldn’t help but ask, “You just said that no one will snatch our money. Is that true?

He was not a fool. The steward was so respectful to this little girl. The owner of the charity hall was very likely related to her.

Yu Youyao nodded. “It’s true.”

A little girl who was about seven or eight years old said in disbelief, “Why does the steward want us to take out the money? We earned all this money ourselves!”

“Yes, we earned the money ourselves. Why should we take it out…”

“I can’t take out the money…”

“Bad guy…”

In the blink of an eye, there was a commotion in the room.

Er Dan stopped arguing. “Let’s hear what they have to say first.” Someone was indignant—

“What else is there to say? They just want to snatch our money…”

The steward couldn’t help but say angrily, “How do you get the steamed buns you eat every day, the blankets you cover at night, the charcoal fire in the house, and the job to earn money?

He could withstand the resentment of these children, but Eldest Miss could not.

No one knew better than him how much effort Eldest Miss had put in and the connections she used for the hall.

The children were stunned, and the room fell silent.

Outside, a white steamed bun cost three copper coins, but in the Graceful Heart Hall, they only needed one copper coin.

Those who were young and physically disabled and couldn’t earn money could also do what they could to replace food with work.

They could eat three white flour buns a day and only spend three copper coins. On the other hand, they could earn three to eight copper coins from working part-time for a day. When they slept at night, they would cover themselves with a relatively warm blanket and they had a brazier in the house.

Such a life was something they did not dare to think about in the past.

Yu Youyao raised her hand to stop the angry steward. She bent down and stroked the little girl’s head. “You can only buy a white flour steamed bun for three copper coins outside, but in the Graceful Heart Hall, you can buy it for one copper coin. A white flour steamed bun can fill your stomach. There are so many of you. With one copper coin, you can buy many white flour steamed buns. Won’t you be able to fill the stomachs of more people?”

The children looked thoughtful.

Yu Youyao said softly, “Do you know why I want to set up this charity?”

It turned out that the Graceful Heart Hall was opened by this good-looking young lady. The young lady’s eyes lit up and she couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”

Yu Youyao stroked her hair again, and the rough feeling made her heart ache. “If I can eat my fill, I hope that you can also eat your fill. Then, if you can eat your fill, shouldn’t you also help your younger siblings eat their fill? Do you know why this hall is called the Graceful Heart Hall? I hope that every one of you who enters the Graceful Heart Hall has a good and kind heart and spread this kindness to more people.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl sniffed. “I hope Da Hua can fill her stomach like me, but Da Hua is starving…”

With that) she whimpered softly.

The eyes of the other children present were also red. They had lost their parents and relatives since they were young and relied on begging on the streets. They had even cheated to live. They had seen too many people leave because of death..

“Brother Da Niu is also starving…”

“So is my sister…”

“Boohoo…

The room was filled with tears. Yu Youyao couldn’t help but tear up. She untied her pouch, took out a copper coin, and stuffed it into the metal box..
