Chapter 309: Chapter 0309: Connecting Troops 3_1

Commissioner Ye understood Feng Qingxue's concerns very well, as he had witnessed such situations before.

However, that happened before the liberation. The wife of an old comrade-in-arms, who had been living apart from her husband for a long time and had no children, took in two orphans of martyrs. Just like opening a floodgate, one or two orphans appeared at her doorstep from time to time.

If she took them in, she couldn't afford to care for them; if she didn't, people would accuse her of being falsely compassionate.

For those children, she deprived herself of food and clothing, which eventually led her to work herself to death. Some of the orphans she took in resented her for not bringing them a better life, blamed her for dying early, and had to find another home for themselves.
