One day, Song Li receives a will. A great-uncle she has never met has left her an inheritance: a crumbling orphanage and five hundred thousand in cash.
If she wants the money, she has to take over the orphanage.
With little money and few options, Song Junli goes.
After living there for half a month, she sends her friend a letter full of complaints:
What kind of godforsaken orphanage is this?!
I have to look after all ten kids by myself. Can you believe there isn’t even a single staff member?
The house is so run-down it looks like nobody’s lived here for ten years. There are cobwebs everywhere, and there’s not even running water. The pipes are full of red water!!
I don’t know what it is, but it smells a little fishy.
At least the kids are very well-behaved. They don’t talk much and hardly ever show any expression. They often gather around my bed at night and stare at me, but they’re very obedient and eat whatever I give them.
Speaking of food, the meat here is really strange. I’ve never eaten anything like it. It tastes weird and isn’t good.
The town is deserted too, like an isolated island. You can go ten or fifteen days without seeing anyone. There’s no internet or electricity, and supplies can’t get in from outside. I’m practically starving for a decent meal...
Sigh, enough complaining. I’m doing okay, really. Don’t worry about me. I’ll write again next month. Mwah!
Her friend: ...No, I think something’s not right here.
P.S. Not scary. A lighthearted, pampered-kids-and-caretaking sweet story.
Theme: Love means acceptance, respect, and understanding. Move forward together and build a wonderful life.
