Bringing a homeless child to school, 15 years later he suddenly received a “gratitude envelope” of nearly 50 billion VND
Lu Thien Mai is a single mother. While organizing her daughter’s wedding, she suddenly received a phone message from the bank, informing that there was an amount of money sent from abroad. This amount is up to 1.6 million pounds, equivalent to about 50 billion VND.
Mrs. Lu immediately understood that this was the money that her “adopted son” sent back, partly because of her sister’s wedding celebration, and partly to repay the favor to her adoptive mother in the past.
Rainy night meeting
The story begins many years ago, at that time, Lu Thien Mai was just an ordinary female worker in Yangzhou city, Jiangsu province, China. Her husband died early, she lived with her daughter in a small remote house. With a meager salary but good at pulling, she can still take care of her daughter’s clothing problem.
Mother and daughter live happily together and often help neighbors according to their ability. Although their income is not high, they still keep their honesty, sometimes helping homeless orphans on the street. The mother and daughter of the Lu family are loved and cherished by everyone.
One night in 2000, Lu Thien Mai went out to the market, on the way home, it suddenly started to rain heavily, so she had to avoid the rain in a nearby garage. This is an old garage, dotted with a few dusty cars parked inside, with a lot of rubbish around.
While Lu Thien Mai was watching, she heard a soft cough in the corner.
She hesitantly asked, “Is there anyone?” After that no response was received.
However, she still got up and walked in the direction of the sound and found a fifteen or sixteen year old boy sitting on the ground. His dirty appearance and tattered clothes helped her realize that this was an orphaned child.
Lu Thien Mai felt a bit sorry and took out a newly bought bread to give him. It took a while before he dared to accept the food and devoured it.
Looking at the poor boy, Lu Thien Mai asked about it. As it turned out, he had resided here for a while because just being here was not driven away by anyone, nor affected by others.
Then, she learned that the boy’s name is Liu Xayi, from Baoding district, Yangzhou city, China. His parents used to do small businesses, a warm and happy family.
Two years ago, when Liu Xiayi’s parents were driving a truck carrying agricultural products to deliver goods, they unfortunately collided with a large truck on the road and died on the spot.
After her parents died, no one took care of Liu Xayi. His grandparents’ health was also poor, so he could only live at his uncle’s house. Uncle’s family also did not have good conditions, aunt clearly expressed her hatred of him as a burden.
Although the two of them did not torture and make it difficult, Liu Xa Nghi never received their love. This attitude made him think of dropping out of school to go out to earn a living, not wanting to affect his uncle’s family anymore.
However, his grandparents stopped him. She told him that: “If you just want to eat today and take care of tomorrow for the rest of your life, you can go out to work now, but if you want to be successful, then grit your teeth and learn.”
After listening to her grandmother, Liu Xa Nghi finally continued her studies. Through his own efforts, he was accepted into a key city high school. Just go on with your life like that, passing a university entrance exam seems like a possibility. At that time, Luu Xa Nghi’s future will be very bright.
However, his wife made it difficult because she did not want to spend money on him to attend a key school. In the end, she only agreed to pay the tuition fee, and all travel and accommodation expenses were borne by him. When Liu Xiayi was on his way to school, his uncle had to secretly give him a few hundred yuan as a toll.
After arriving in Yangzhou, Liu Xiayi wanted to apply to the school’s dormitory, but couldn’t because it was full. With no money in hand, alone, he finally had to find this garage and live in it temporarily. Every month he pays the garage owner a little money, in return promises to look after the car for them.
Poor living conditions made him increasingly messy, dirty, no different from a homeless child.
The kindness of a mother
After hearing the story, Lu Thien Mai loved him dearly. She invited Luu Xa Nghi to the house for dinner and always opened the door for him to come at any time.
Liu Xa Nghi refused because she did not want to cause trouble for others. He was determined he could support himself.
Ms. Lu admits that a student who is underage cannot find a decent job, so she is very worried. That afternoon, after returning home, she cooked a lot of dishes. After giving one part to her daughter, the rest was brought to Liu Xayi.
At first, the teenager firmly refused, but Mrs. Lu persisted in persuasion. In the end, he also ate his rice while tears streaming down his face.
After the meal, Luu Xa Nghi solemnly said to Mrs. Lu: “Auntie, I will definitely repay you in the future.”
From then on, whenever Lu Thien Mai had the opportunity, she brought rice to Luu Xa Nghi every day. Gradually, when the boy was no longer afraid, Mrs. Lu said that she wanted to adopt him. Although his family is not rich, he can definitely give him a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and the whole family eats a meager meal.
In the following days, single mother Lu Thien Mai was even busier. In addition to going to work every day, she also cooks for her two children. Ms. Lu also tutored Luu Xa Nghi in English, helping him to make significant progress in class. When she attended the parent-teacher meeting on his behalf, she was extremely proud to hear the teacher’s good assessment of her adopted son’s ability.
Luu Xa Nghi once again repeated to Lu Thien Mai: “Auntie, you will be my mother in the future. I will definitely study hard and repay you.”
Lu Thien Mai smiled, in fact, she had considered him as her own son for a long time. She also does not expect anything in return, as long as the child can grow up to be a human.
The hard work paid off when Liu Xayi was accepted into Zhejiang University with excellent results. In 2007, he went to Cambridge University in the United Kingdom for a study exchange.
Luu Xa Nghi is also very ambitious. In order to study abroad, he applied for a full scholarship on his own. However, when all conditions were met, he discovered that the cost of living in the UK was too high, so he decided not to go to the UK anymore, just wanted to stay in China to study.
Ms. Lu learned of the story and secretly sold all her gold and silver jewelry to earn more than 60,000 yuan, then packed it up and gave it to Liu Xayi to study abroad.
After finishing her studies, Luu Xa Nghi and her colleagues established an asset management company in the UK and held a 15% stake in it. A good business company helped the old poor boy become a millionaire with a huge fortune.
Exactly 15 years after being adopted, on the wedding day of his sister, Luu Xa Nghi directly transferred 1.6 million pounds, equivalent to nearly 50 billion VND, to Ms. Lu.
For Luu Xa Nghi, this amount is still nothing compared to what he received from Lu Thien Mai. It is not only a roof, but also an opportunity, an affection, a precious treasure.
