The devil is by your side

Chapter 112 Filial piety cannot be bought with money
These meals are all leftovers from the restaurant today, and after a brief reheating, they become their dinner.

Xia Luoluo was starving for a long time, so she didn't care so much, she sat down and said excitedly: "Finally I can eat, I'm so hungry!"

Director Ouyang saw a hesitant expression on Joe Arthur's face, and couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Why, these dishes won't fit Master Qiao's mouth? It's fine if you don't want to eat, let's have dinner."

While talking, Director Ouyang filled the rice and raised his chopsticks to eat.

The middle-aged couple sitting with Director Ouyang, the husband is the cook of the nursing home, and the wife is the nanny of the nursing home. Both of them have worked in the nursing home for many years. Naturally, they understand Director Ouyang's temper. Pick up the bowl and start eating.

"No, I was just a little surprised." Joe Arthur said.

He sat down beside Xia Luoluo, and Xia Luoluo quickly served him a meal.

"Senior Arthur, although these dishes are leftovers from the restaurant, they are all clean. No one has eaten them. Don't dislike them. How can you work tomorrow if you don't eat enough?" Charlotte said, On the one hand, he picked out the chicken from the dish and put it into Joe Arthur's bowl.

"Whether you like to eat or not, this is not your home. Food is not allowed to be wasted. Leave if you don't want to eat! These are some strange problems, and they are all used by the family!" Director Ouyang gave Qiao Arthur a look.

"Director Ouyang, don't be angry, you should hurry up and eat a piece of meat." Charlotte quickly picked up a piece of meat for Director Ouyang.

Joe Arthur picked up his rice bowl and began to eat.

After a mouthful of food, he was slightly startled.

Unexpectedly, the leftovers turned out to be unexpectedly delicious. He couldn't help but whet his appetite. He ate three bowls of rice in a row, which almost broke his own dining record. If Butler John saw it, he would definitely turn pale with shock.

After eating, Joe Arthur touched his stuffed stomach, and said to Charlotte embarrassedly: "I didn't expect today's food to be so delicious."

Hearing Joe Arthur's words, Charlotte chuckled, "Senior Arthur, I see, it's not because today's food is delicious, but because you are hungry and tired, so you feel that whatever you eat is delicious, eat Everything is a kind of enjoyment."

"Is that so?" Joe Arthur frowned and thought, thinking what Charlotte said made sense.

"When I go back, I must set up a special fund to help these elderly people who have no one to take care of them, so that they can enjoy their old age in peace." Joe Arthur clenched his fists and vowed.

"Boy, it seems that you still don't have a deeper understanding of the work that you were asked to do today." Hearing Joe Arthur's vow to set up a special fund to help the orphans and widows without care, Director Ouyang shook his head and sighed. With his hands behind his back, he passed the two of them and went back to the room.

Seeing the back of Director Ouyang leaving, Joe Arthur was a little puzzled, not knowing that his words were not right and offended Director Ouyang.

"It's getting late, Senior Arthur, go to bed early, don't think too much, Director Ouyang is so unpredictable, we have to get up early to work tomorrow, good night." Charlotte yawned and said Joe Arthur bid farewell and went back to his room to rest.

During the days of working in the nursing home, Joe Arthur and Xia Luoluo got up early and worked late, and were directed by Director Ouyang to take care of the old people in the nursing home.

Although the days were busy, fortunately, neither of them had any problems, and they took good care of the old people.

On the third night, Charlotte and Joe Arthur had just finished taking care of the old people for dinner, and seeing that the three-day agreement was about to expire, an accident happened.

"Bang bang bang!"

It was already dark, and someone knocked on the gate of the nursing home.

The man who came came with strong hands and knocked anxiously, and he insisted on knocking on the big iron door with a loud bang.

"Come on, follow me to see who is knocking on the door." Director Ouyang called Joe Arthur and Charlotte, and the three walked to the gate, looking out through the iron gate.

A small car was parked outside the door, and a middle-aged man and woman stood at the gate. The woman knocked on the door impatiently, while the man looked embarrassed.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Director Ouyang asked through the door.

"Hurry up and open the door for us. My mother lives in your nursing home. We need to see her urgently." The middle-aged woman said to Director Ouyang while knocking on the door.

"It's you again?" Director Ouyang saw the middle-aged couple, and his face suddenly sank, "You still have the courage to come to the door!"

"Why can't we come to the door? My mother lives with you. Before my father died, she was by her side alone. All the money must have been given to her. Only she knows where the money is." The middle-aged woman said. : "Our family is desperately short of money now. I have to see my mother and ask myself. What is your intention, you old man, to stop us again and again and not let us see my mother?"

"It's very positive to ask for money. Why didn't you stand by Old Mr. Qin when he passed away? Why didn't you show up when Mrs. Meng was left alone? Now I heard that Mrs. Meng is going to donate her life savings to the nursing home You came out to ask for money, are there people like you who are children? Have your consciences been eaten by dogs, even if you have a dog, you are more filial than you!" Director Ouyang sneered.

"Oh, I recognize you. You are the director of this nursing home, right? You said, you brought my mother to your nursing home because of the money in her hand?!" The middle-aged woman was held by Ouyang The director hit the sore spot, immediately raised two slender eyebrows, stretched out his thin fingers, pointed at Director Ouyang with one hand on his hip, and said harshly: "I advise you to open the door quickly, or I will call the police and call the media." Let's all come and see what this black-hearted nursing home of yours looks like!"

"Hmph, if you want to call someone, go ahead and let everyone see what kind of white-eyed wolf Mrs. Chen has raised." Director Ouyang didn't take the middle-aged woman's shouting seriously at all.

He looked over the middle-aged woman, and landed on the timid middle-aged man next to the middle-aged woman, "You are a big man, you are timid and only know to hide behind your wife, and you don't care about your own mother. Have you forgotten how your mother brought you up? No wonder Mrs. Meng is heartbroken by you and doesn't want to see you anymore!"

"I..." The man was scolded by Director Ouyang, his head drooped even lower, and a look of shame appeared on his face.

"We don't care. We just want to see my mother. We are her relatives. Don't tell me that your black-hearted nursing home doesn't allow relatives to visit?! Come on, everyone, come and judge. Is there any law for this? The black-hearted nursing home imprisoned the elderly and did not allow family members to visit! Everyone, come and judge!" The middle-aged woman spoke louder and louder, almost yelling through the gate.

"Have you had enough trouble? It's not that Dean Ouyang didn't want me to see you, it's because I don't want to see you bastards!" An old and hoarse voice sounded.

Although the volume of the voice was not loud, it was just enough for the middle-aged woman who kept clamoring to hear clearly.

A gray-haired old man walked up to Director Ouyang with the support of another old man. Her face was pale and tears were streaming from her eyes. She stared at the middle-aged couple, trembling with hatred, and said through gritted teeth: "Director Ouyang He is a good man, I live here very well, and I will absolutely not allow you to slander him."

"Mom, you're here!" Seeing old lady Meng coming, the middle-aged woman's eyes lit up immediately, and she eagerly leaned towards the iron fence door, holding on to the railing with both hands, wishing she could get in through the gap in the fence. He asked eagerly: "Mom, it's not good to be a daughter-in-law before. If you want to, you can go with us now. Of course, if you want to stay here, we don't force you, but the sum left by my father before he died Money, you have to give us, you also know that Xiaoxu is going to college this year, Xiaoren and I are going to open a small shop, you don’t know, the prices are so high now, we have to spend money to do everything, our life is really difficult ah."

"I don't have any money. I have already donated all the money to the nursing home. You are late." Mrs. Meng's heart suddenly became colder when she heard her daughter-in-law call her mother and make out.

"Give up, I won't give you a penny. If you insist on pestering me, then I'll publish it in the newspaper and cut ties with you!" The more Mrs. Meng thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she thought about it, the more wronged she became. Old tears.

"You've heard it all, don't bother old lady Meng to enjoy her old age in peace, or I will never be polite!" Director Ouyang saw that old lady Meng was crying with tears all over her face, and she couldn't stand still, so she immediately said coldly. The middle-aged couple said.

"Mom, why are you so obsessed with obsession? What kind of ecstasy did this nursing home give you!" The middle-aged woman stomped her feet unwillingly, and glared at Director Ouyang angrily, "Damn old man, wait for me, I'm going to sue you, and I will definitely close down your nursing home!"

"Ma'am, if you want to sue Love Home for the Elderly, please go ahead and sue, but I advise you to find a better lawyer. My team of lawyers is always on hand. Mrs. Meng is old and can't stand the stimulation. If you She got mad because of you, and I will sue you for intentional injury, and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." Joe Arthur said in a deep voice with a cold face.

Seeing that Joe Arthur is not very old, but from his tone of voice, calm temperament and calm and handsome face, it can be seen that he is not young. The middle-aged woman was shocked by his powerful aura for a while.

His mouth was like a fish out of water, opening and closing for a long time, and finally managed to utter a cruel sentence, "Hmph, wait!"

The middle-aged woman dragged her husband away angrily.

Finally, the front of the nursing home became quiet again.

Xia Luoluo and Qiao Arthur helped Director Ouyang send Granny Meng back to the room, and other old people came over to enlighten Granny Meng who had been crying silently.

Director Ouyang walked out of the room, followed by Charlotte and Joe Arthur.

"The old lady Meng is pitiful." Xia Luoluo sighed and sighed.

How could there be such an excellent son and daughter-in-law in this world? Xia Luoluo felt that she had seen it.

"The forest is big, so there are naturally all kinds of birds. This kind of unfilial person is like a pig and a dog." Director Ouyang said with a frown.

"Director Ouyang, I think I understand what you said to me that night." Joe Arthur raised his eyes and looked directly into Director Ouyang's eyes, and said seriously: "Charity and respect for the elderly cannot be solved by donating money to set up a fund." , filial piety cannot be bought with money. Compared with material help, these old people need emotional care more. They have worked hard all their lives and dedicated their lives to social construction. They should enjoy their old age with dignity and happiness. Wait for me to return In the future, the Royal Academy of Saint Laurent must call on more young people to go to the community, go to the welfare home, go to the nursing home to do volunteer work, and help more people in need.”

"Master Qiao, girl Luoluo, I feel relieved from the bottom of my heart that you understand this." Director Ouyang nodded in praise with satisfaction.

"Then Luoluo went to Japan for exchange and study?"

Joe Arthur and Charlotte looked at Director Ouyang eagerly at the same time, waiting for his reply.

"This matter..." Ouyang Li accidentally dragged his tone, which whetted the appetite of the two of them.
