Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 333 Envelope

The butler's room.

Yu Shijiu silently flipped the photo to the back and, unsurprisingly, saw several neat and elegant characters on the back.

"My dearest baby"

Although Yu Shijiu didn't understand why NPCs in the game liked to write on photos... she still understood their desire to leave traces in their memories.

Because his mother used to like doing that too.

It's a shame that some idiot burned all those photos.

Thinking of this, Yu Shijiu's gaze turned somewhat gloomy.

He stuffed the photo into his pocket, and after making sure there was nothing under the tablecloth, he began rummaging through drawers and cabinets in the room.

This time, Yu Shijiu found a somewhat worn-out suitcase under the bed.

Literally, worn out.

This is a worn-out but spotlessly clean suitcase. It's red, and the fabric and print on top are tattered, revealing the blue fabric underneath.

Yu Shijiu opened his suitcase without hesitation.

The overwhelming red and white colors stunned Yu Shijiu once again.

What hits you is a strong, almost dizzying, smell of banknotes—a strange, unpleasant, yet strangely appealing odor.

These are the thoughts of the players in front of the screen.

They stared at the screen at the suitcase full of red cash, swallowing hard.

Even though players now rely on points instead of cash to survive, the days of living off cash were only a short time ago, so it's still hard to resist the prospect of such a large sum of cash appearing before them.

"Holy crap..."

One player's eyes widened, "Is this NPC stealing money?!"

Where does a housekeeper get so much money?!

"I don't know, this is outrageous! Can a butler really earn that much?"

"..."

The players' shock naturally did not affect Yu Shijiu.

Yu Shijiu didn't have a strong concept of money. He casually rummaged through the banknotes in his suitcase and finally found something amidst the strong smell of money.

It was a stack of envelopes, one after another, thick, yellowed, with a faint musty smell.

"..."

Yu Shijiu rummaged through the corner of the suitcase, and after confirming that there was nothing there, she pulled the suitcase tight and pushed it back under the bed.

He sat there and opened the first letter, and what he saw was the same delicate handwriting as the one behind the photo.

"My child, by the time you read this letter, I will already be gone. Don't ask me why I left you in the orphanage; I really had no other choice. Your mother is a useless person; I can't earn money, and I can't raise you. When I leave, holding you and getting away from that suffocating and devastating hell is the best I can do."

I hope you won't resent me.

Although I know it's difficult, I really have no other choice. I can't just watch you starve to death with me.

"Mom just doesn't have the money to raise you, Mom really does love you."

"..."

Yu Shijiu clicked his tongue when he saw this, casually stuffed the letter into the envelope, and opened the next one.

"The weather is nice today, baby."

Mom earned her first ten yuan today by helping out with odd jobs at the construction site. It wasn't complicated, but it was tiring. However, Mom was very happy because she could earn money!

This is the first ten yuan I've earned. After that, I will earn many more ten yuan, twenty yuan, thirty yuan, forty yuan... even a hundred yuan.

When Mom is able to earn more money, I will bring my baby back from the orphanage. We will live a good life, we definitely will, and the future will definitely get better and better...

After reading the second letter, Yu Shijiu finally realized that something was wrong.

Since the envelope was in the butler's room, the person who wrote the letter must have been the butler.

However, judging from the tone and wording of these two letters, the butler's level of education was probably not very high when he wrote them.

The language used is too naive.

But the butler now doesn't seem to be someone who hasn't read many books.

Yu Shijiu opened the third letter with doubt in his heart.

"Mom has saved up a thousand dollars. After saving a little more, we'll keep three hundred dollars for rent and food, and then we can use the rest to buy you some clothes and snacks to send to the orphanage... although you may not need them right now."

I heard that a very kind person has come to the orphanage. He is very wealthy and will donate large sums of money and food to the orphanage. You will be able to eat well and stay warm in the orphanage. This is wonderful, my dear.

Mom would secretly visit you every week and see you become friends with that kind man's daughter. She saw you read a poem under that kind man's watchful eye and receive praise and a scholarship to go to school. That was wonderful.

Mom is so proud of you, my baby.

"..."

"...Today I got a new job where I can learn to write and read. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I might become a nanny or housekeeper for some wealthy families...I heard that nannies and housekeepers for wealthy families earn very high salaries."

Great.

I will definitely study hard.

That way, Mom will have enough money to bring my baby back to live with us. It's just that Mom might not see you for a month... Will you blame Mom?

Upon seeing this letter, Yu Shijiu already realized something.

He frowned and subconsciously pulled out the next letter.

Upon opening the obviously crumpled envelope, a jumble of messy text immediately came into view.

"Why?! Why were some children transferred to other orphanages? Why didn't the orphanage director tell me where my child was transferred to?! Why?! It's my child! I've already saved up the money, and if I just study hard and become a good nanny and housekeeper, I can bring my precious child back... Why?! Why won't you tell me! Why won't you tell me where my child was sent?! Why is no one willing to tell me?! Why why why... I regret it, I regret sending you away... I regret it..."

When a series of undivided characters appeared, Yu Shijiu's eyes were briefly stung.

He may have been a little confused at first, but by now, it's quite obvious who the child in the butler's letter is.

The players are all great people sponsored by Mr. Xiao, and the "Madam" is so young and beautiful in her prime—corresponding to the "great people" in the letter and the "darling" in the butler's letter.

The housekeeper's child had been sent to an overcrowded orphanage.

She had no money, no status, and might be kicked out of the orphanage. Helpless, she had no idea where her child had gone.

But later... the butler must have found out.
