Chapter 99
What was the original promise?
Kim Hyun-tae is really confused about this.
After all, he didn't know these "little friends", especially the Latino girl Selena who cheered in front of him, and he didn't even have any intersection with her.
But the unscrupulous alien elementary school student didn't know what method he had used to make these children familiar with him and had the memory of "living" with him, which forced Kim Hyun-tae to face "reality".
"Brother William said at the beginning that he would make a lot of money. After he made money, he would come back to bring us a better life, help us pay tuition, buy delicious food, and good clothes..."
The happy Selena talked endlessly to the children around her who didn't know these things, and said what she knew about Kim Hyun-tae's previous promise.
This also made Kim Hyun-tae finally understand the inside story.
He looked around the children and found that these children of all sizes had some malnourishment on their faces.
When he discovered this situation, he immediately understood it.
To be honest, he also had orphanage life experience in his orphanage in his previous life, so he can be said to be very familiar with the living conditions of the children in orphanages.
It is true that the nannies are all very dedicated to the care of the children.
But this cannot be taken care of in full.
The manpower and funds in the monastery are limited, and basically the expenses required are maintained by voluntary donations from people in the local community.
But most of the people living around this community are black households from Mexico. They earn the lowest salary in the United States and live a very good life.
Therefore, the days here in the monastery can be imagined.
The clothes worn by the children in front of them were basically donated by locals, so many of them did not fit well or even a little worn, but these children didn't care at all.
For children, it is great to wear clothes, who is still picky about whether they are old clothes?
When Kim Hyun-tae was an orphan in his previous life, he was basically satisfied with eating and wearing a good meal and wearing warm clothes, and he would not have too many extravagant expectations.
I think these children are almost the same as him at the time.
Because he thought of his previous life, life experience, Kim Hyun-tae looked at the children in front of him and felt very empathetic for a moment.
There was sympathy, pity, and heartache... and in an instant he made a decision, and he felt that he might really help these children.
Although he cannot help more children now, these children in front of him should be able to help with his current financial resources.
Thinking of this, Kim Hyun-tae looked at herself with admiration and longing after listening to Selena's 'past', waiting for herself to tell everyone that he was back to fulfill his promise. The children smiled, and then slowly spoke: "Yes, I'm not only going back this time to fulfill my promise, but I also want to give you a new home."
The children were all stunned and didn't understand what Kim Hyun-tae said for a while?
New home?
Isn’t this everyone’s ‘home’?
But what does Brother William mean when he said this?
Could he contact some families who are willing to adopt children from the monastery?
His words caused the children to make random speculations.
Some of them may even think that even if a child like himself is a family who wants to adopt a child, he will not want to come here to find it, right?
You know, they grew up in the infamous San Juan area.
It is well known that the overall environment here is bad, which also leads families who are willing to adopt are unwilling to come here. The reason is very simple. They are afraid that the children they adopt will have some bad habits.
Therefore, basically no adopted family is willing to adopt children in the Monastery of San Juan. Those families are more willing to go to better welfare homes to find children. In this regard, all the children in the Monastery are very clear about the intellectually sound.
So what does Brother William mean?
"I keep this matter secret first, and you will know in a while. However, when I come back this time, I indeed brought a sum of money to the monastery to improve your life. At the same time, the bald uncle over there also brought you a lot of books."
Kim Hyun-tae did not tell the children what he planned, which made the children express "protest and dissatisfied" about it. Kim Hyun-tae just smiled and dealt with it.
Some younger children, after hearing that Dave brought a lot of books, immediately cheered, and a group of people ran to Dave who was talking to the middle-aged nun. Obviously, these children cared more about books.
However, the older Selena, a few boys and girls, stayed, and looked at Kim Hyun-tae with an inquiring look on her face.
Perhaps it was this girl named Selena, and her memory should be the kind that she was ‘very familiar’ with Kim Hyun-tae, so after a period of silence, she broke the dull atmosphere.
"William, what the hell are you doing?"
Selena is referring to the matter that Kim Hyun-tae said she wanted to keep it secret.
The girl didn't know Kim Hyun-tae's plan, but it seemed that he was not a bad thing.
But in the end, curiosity gained the upper hand, and the girl couldn't help but ask for clarity.
Looking at the girl who looked inquiring and didn't let her expression go without saying it clearly, Kim Hyun-tae kept a smile on her face and looked at her.
At the beginning, the girl was still very brave to look at Kim Hyun-tae, but gradually the girl's courage gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a strong sense of shyness, which made her start to avoid Kim Hyun-tae's gaze, causing the boys and girls around her to burst into laughter.
"Selina! You were no match for Brother William before, and now the same is true. Do you think your eyes are really that fierce!"
"Hehe, what do you know? Selena has other ideas in her mind, so she will lose to Brother William. After so many years, don't you still know?"
Listening to those little guys saying things that were not in the right direction, Kim Hyun-tae was no longer joking. He was worried that these naughty kids would say something even worse.
At the same time, Kim Hyun-tae seemed to have heard something, as if the memory of this girl named Selena had something to do with herself.
Oh my God!
Kim Hyun-tae wailed in his heart. He really couldn't imagine that the funny Mike elementary school student would instill such a little girl with false memory information.
He quickly looked at the expression on his face that was not very natural, as if Selena was told to the point, and Kim Hyun-tae was completely speechless.
It's a bit embarrassing now.
But in the end, Kim Hyun-tae, who has the soul of an old man in his thirties, coughed, attracted the attention of young men and women, and prepared to change the topic and ease the ambiguous atmosphere at the moment.
But before Kim Hyun-tae could speak, Selena here used an extremely resentful tone, coupled with the extremely resentful look, and looked at Kim Hyun-tae to speak first.
"Don't say that, please don't forget Sister Xiaoxiao."
When Selena mentioned the name "Xiaoxiao", the boys and girls who were originally making fun of each other's expressions changed instantly.
Xiaoxiao?
Kim Hyun-tae's mind turned around and he knew who this was.
I think this is the girl I have never seen in this time and space.
Is her name Xiaoxiao?
A very good name is that the beauty has become a little bit unlucky.
Seeing that the atmosphere became more dull and even a faint melancholy and sorrow began to spread, Kim Hyun-tae felt a little depressed.
"I want to buy a piece of land in Los Angeles and build a welfare home myself, so that everyone can move over there and stay away from the environment in San Juan. After all, the environment here is not good for everyone's growth?"
In order to break the atmosphere, Kim Hyun-tae decided to tell the children what they planned.
Sure enough, when Kim Hyun-tae expressed her plans, the boys and girls' attention was distracted.
"Brother William, are you saying it true? You want to build a big house so that all of us can live in?"
"Brother William, are you so rich? We have so many people, but they are very expensive?"
"William, you have to do what you can. Actually, it's good for us to live here. Don't be tough."
Looking at the boys and girls who were actually very happy but still had to consider themselves, Kim Hyun-tae couldn't help but be surrounded by a warm feeling.
He knew very well that children living in this environment were more precocious than their peers and had more comprehensive considerations.
So, they are really planning for themselves, not talking casually.
Selena also spoke to him at this time, "William, we don't know how you are now, but it seems that you are well-developed, but no matter how rich you are, you can't support so many of us, right?
You know, there are more than fifty children in the monastery. It takes a lot of money to eat and drink every month, let alone those of us who are still in school.”
Kim Hyun-tae gently patted Selena on the shoulder, and this action made the girl blush.
"I can afford it! I promise, I have such ability. Moreover, the monasteries of the monastery are not young anymore, and the donations raised every month are also decreasing. How long can we last for the current situation?"
Before coming to the monastery, Kim Hyun-tae also did some homework and learned a little about the current situation of the Monastery of San Juan.
Therefore, he still knew something about the current situation of the Monastery of San Juan.
Obviously Selena and the older children knew the current situation of the monastery, so when Kim Hyun-tae said this, she and the other children fell silent.
"Don't worry, I am a very successful writer now and I can get good royalty sharing income every month, so I buy a piece of land and build a welfare home myself so that everyone can move in, there is no problem at all."
The children have seen it in the media that William is now a novelist, but no one knows how much money William can earn.
But looking at William's big bag, he seems to be very profitable.
"Really? You are not a swollen face and fat man? Sister Xiaoxiao once said that you boys like to do such boastful things the most, as if only in this way can you show your masculinity."
Selena was half-believing and half-doubted, obviously she didn't believe so much in Kim Hyun-tae.
Well!
As soon as the little girl opened her mouth, Kim Hyun-tae became rigid.
Uncle, I have tens of millions of dollars in my wealth, will I deceive you naughty kids?
