school.
During the break, Zhang Ran beckoned Liu Ni to the podium and quietly inquired about her family's recent situation.
Liu Ni couldn't help but cry when she talked about her family. "...My uncle said that no relatives were willing to adopt us. He said he would go to town to look for them."
Zhang Ran stroked her head and handed her a tissue to wipe away her tears. "Aren't you afraid that your uncle will hand your sisters over to human traffickers?"
“Uncle wouldn’t do that.” Liu Ni cried even harder.
Zhang Ran explained, "...I was afraid your uncle would be scammed by human traffickers."
"Teacher," Liu Ni tugged at Zhang Ran's sleeve, pleading pitifully, "Could you find a good family to adopt my younger sisters? They are very well-behaved, they only eat very little food, and they can do a lot of work. When they grow up, they can get married and earn dowries. It's not a bad deal to adopt them."
Zhang Ran: "...Orphanages, have you heard of them?"
Liu Ni blinked and shook her head. "What place is that?"
“Orphanages are places that specifically take in children. Some of these children have lost their parents and become orphans, while others have been abandoned by their parents on the roadside.” Zhang Ran looked down at her. “Go back and ask your younger sisters. If they are willing, the teacher will contact the orphanage to pick them up.”
Liu Ni bit her lip. "Teacher, my mother is still alive, and my younger sisters are not orphans."
Zhang Ran: "None of you have household registration. You were born because your parents had more children than allowed by the one-child policy, so you sisters are all unregistered. Being unregistered is similar to being an orphan, and an orphanage can take you in."
The family spent a lot of money to register their younger brother's birth, and they blamed them for it, scolding them for not being born. They said if they had just given birth to their brother, they wouldn't have had to spend money to register him.
Liu Ni seemed to understand but not quite, "Will they get enough to eat if they go to the orphanage? Will they be beaten?"
"Eat as much as you want. I won't hit the children, otherwise it would be called child abuse, and the police would arrest the bad guy who hit the child."
"Is the orphanage really that good?" Liu Ni believed what the teacher said, but she was still full of worries: "Does that mean we have to do a lot of work? The younger girls are too young; all they can do in the fields is pull weeds." Zhang Ran shook her head: "The older children don't need to do any other work besides washing their own clothes and taking care of themselves. Qi Ni and B Ni are too young to do any work. They can eat meat every day and sit in the classroom to attend classes."
Liu Ni listened with longing, unable to believe that there was such a good place where she could eat meat without working. "Is the orphanage so good? I want to go too!" Staying at home meant endless chores and constant beatings.
Once Teacher Zhang leaves, Mom will definitely make her drop out of school to take care of her younger brother.
She wants to go to school, she absolutely must go to school!
If she can go to school at the orphanage, then she will go to the orphanage!
Zhang Ran smiled and reached out to pat her head: "I can have the people from the orphanage take you with me, but you have to keep it a secret and not tell anyone that you have a mother. The orphanage doesn't accept children with mothers."
Liu Ni's eyes were firm: "Teacher, I remember." She would tell everyone that she didn't have a mother!
"When you get home, remember to ask your younger sisters what they think. What if they want their mother and don't want to go to the orphanage?" Zhang Ran said with a smile. "We must respect everyone's choice."
When Liu Ni got home from school, she immediately called Qi Ni and B Ni into her room, and also carried Jiu Ni in, before closing the door.
Liu Ni whispered mysteriously about the orphanage, "...The teacher said that you can eat meat every day and go to school at the orphanage. Do you want to go?"
Jiu Ni sat on the ground playing with the mud.
Ba Ni nodded blindly.
