Chapter 352 Took Him to Celebrate a Child’s Birthday
It was my first time at the wholesale market in River City. Since I came with a specific purpose and arrived early, I quickly found the items I wanted to wholesale.
Daniel and Sebastian were probably accompanying women to wholesale women’s products for the first time, both of them unconsciously standing a bit stifly outside the store without going in.
Seeing them like this, I just smiled and didn’t insist, I went into the store myself to find the things I needed.
After choosing the brand, stating the quantity, and negotiating the price with the boss, the boss then packed it for me.
When it was time to pay, Daniel walked in and asked the boss, “How much?”
The boss was a middle-aged woman, who grinned and said, “The
goods you took today cost twenty thousand. If you want to continue to reserve in the future, the deposit is ten thousand, making it a total of thirty thousand.”
Daniel grunted in agreement, preparing to take out his bank card from his wallet. I was quick to act, snatching his wallet away. I looked at him and said, “I brought you here, not for you to pay for me. I know you’re rich, but you don’t need to spend your money here.”
After speaking, I made a payment to the boss, then signed the contract, asking her to deliver the goods regularly in the future according to the schedule.
The boss chuckled and agreed.

Alter packing several large bags of stuff, I left the address with the boss and then got in the car with Daniel.
On the car, Daniel seemed hesitant to speak for a while. Eventually, he couldn’t help but ask, “What are you buying so many sanitary pads for?”
After speaking, he lowered his eyes and unconsciously looked at me, asking, “Does every girl need to use that much?”
I almost burst out laughing when he asked me, but I held back and said, “Of course I can’t use all of these by myself, they are all prepared for the girls at the welfare home.”
He paused slightly, “Orphanage?”
I nodded, letting out a slight sigh, “The conditions at the orphanage are limited, and the sanitary pads used by many girls under fifteen are not very good. I want everyone to regularly donate some to the orphanage in the future. This way, we can prevent them from developing
unnecessary female diseases due to poor quality sanitary pads when they grow up.”
Daniel obviously looked surprised and said to me, “Wouldn’t it be better to donate money in this situation?”
I hummed in agreement, saying, “It’s better, but often, when some money is donated, the places in the welfare home that need money are more than these. Compared to actual materials, money might be convenient, but sometimes, it can’t completely solve some things that are hard for people to notice.”
Daniel pursed his l*ps slightly, his attractive eyes looking at me as he said, “I’m curious, how did you come up with the idea to give this to the girls in the orphanage?”
“Sanitary pad?” I asked, he hummed in response, looking at me with a

face full of curiosity.
I pursed my l*ps, thought for a moment, and said, “I once came across a short video of a girl who grew up in a welfare institution. She never went to school, was never cherished uniquely, was deceived and bullied after growing up with many difficulties, and finally fell ill and pa*sed away. Her illness seemed to be caused by using some inferior sanitary pads when she was young. I have never met her and I don’t know if these are true, but I still want to do something. Yesterday when I went to the welfare institution, I saw some older girls there. I talked with the old director and found out that they usually choose things that are as cheap and practical as possible. I didn’t ask the old director about sanitary pads, but I think these are things that every adult girl needs. The institution has limited funds, and the old director is old, so the things he chooses are likely to be economical. So, I came here to choose by myself.”
After a flurry of words, Daniel responded with a hum, then fell silent.
Considering he was a man, he surely couldn’t understand these things about girls. It was pointless to talk to him about it, so I didn’t continue.
The car drove straight to the welfare home.
Because I had contacted the old dean in advance, the things we reserved were delivered one after another. The old dean was waiting at the door to receive us. I had been here yesterday, and I didn’t come here to volunteer today either.
Primarily because I had something to do, after saying goodbye to the old dean, I brought the strawberry bear I had chosen on the street and Daniel to the children’s play area. There, I found a little girl sitting alone on a small stool, watching the other children play longingly.
After approaching, I gently tapped the little girl’s shoulder. She was probably too engrossed in what she was looking at, so she turned

around abruptly when she felt my touch. Seeing me, her eyes lit up and she softly called out, “Sister.”
Looking at her, I smiled gently, handing her the strawberry bear I was
holding in my arms, “Jodie, this is your birthday gift. Happy birthday.”
