Chapter 10 56 % 5 Vouchers The cymbidium seemed to know what Sherry was thinking . The cymbidium sighed and said , " When the scandal hit , the company's money ran out . So , you get it . " Sherry didn't understand . She said , " Uncle Julius would never do anything wrong . " The cymbidium took a deep breath and continued , " And then there's your Uncle Julius . " It's fancy leaves showing a bit of disgust . " He's nuts about money ." Julius was no ordinary money - grubber ; he was crazy stingy . From when he was just a little tyke , money had been his number one thing . Now , as a grown - up , his stinginess kept him single . He had a face that could rival any Hollywood star . It was such a waste . Sherry listened and couldn't help but smile . Her eyes lit up . She exclaimed in her heart , ' So Uncle Julius likes money ? That makes things easier ! ' " Huh ? Why'd you take off so fast ? " The cymbidium was loving the gossip , totally confused as Sherry left out of the blue. ***** Julius was woken up by a loud crash . He'd been lying in bed , still as a rock since Sherry left - couldn't move if he tried . Hearing the noise outside , he grabbed his phone and checked the door camera . In the footage , Sherry was dragging a sack , probably full of bottles making all that noise . She was also pulling a bunch of delivery boxes . Zackery and Yoel were helping her . Julius was confused . ' Is the Hammond family broke ? ' he thought . ' Why else would kids be collecting garbage ? ' He watched for ages without realizing it , and then tapped his phone and saw all the camera footage from their path . He watched the kids pick up bottles and boxes all around the neighborhood . They dragged them to a recycling center , sold them , and came back smiling . The door opening woke him up . He threw his phone aside , but it was obvious . Soon , his door creaked open . A little head peeked in and tiptoed to his bed . 0 Julius pretended he was asleep . To his surprise , Sherry sat by his bed for half an hour , not moving . He frowned , opened his eyes slowly , and snapped , " What do you want ? " " Uncle Julius , you're awake ! " Sherry ignored his mean look and proudly pulled out a dollar fifty from her pocket , holding it like a prize . " Uncle Julius , we made this money today . Here , it's for you . Are you feeling better now ? " Julius choked up . He'd seen the footage and knew how she got that dollar fifty - she'd picked up trash all day for it . He'd been wondering what she was up to . Now he knew that it was for him . Seeing he didn't say anything , Sherry shoved the money into his hand , cupped her cheeks , and said , " Miss Cymbidium says you love money . I'll pick up bottles and boxes every day to make more money for you . " Uncle Julius , are you a bit happier ? " Just a bit is fine . She wasn't greedy at all . Julius couldn't put his feelings into words . He quietly stared at Sherry , feeling a sudden ache in his numb chest . He jerked his head , glared at her , and snapped , " Who says I love money ? Get out ! " He thought , ' Who is Cymbidium ? She's messing up my reputation . " Sherry's face went stiff , disappointment flickering in her eyes . Her cheerful voice dropped as she silently walked out . 1/3 02:02 Mon , Sep 8 GGG . Chapter 10 Julius opened his mouth but didn't know what to say .

I don't owe you or your daughter anything . ] " My daughter ? Is this related to Sherry ?

Then Harold saw three kids picking up trash . Zackery and Yoel even called some friends over . Soon , there were over ten of them . " What's going on ? " Harold couldn't help but step forward . He lifted Sherry up with one hand - she'd almost fallen into the trash can reaching for a bottle . Sherry got scared , suddenly lifted into the air . She turned her head , saw Harold , and a sweet smile appeared . " Daddy ! " Harold nodded casually . " What's everyone doing here ? " Sherry said , " Selling scrap ! " Harold's handsome face twisted in surprise . " Picking up trash ? " Sherry nodded eagerly , " Yeah ! Miss Cymbidium said Uncle Julius loves money , so I want to earn some to make him happy . But yesterday when I gave him money , he didn't look happy . " Her little head drooped . She sniffled , her nose red from the cold , looking pitiful . But soon , she brightened up . " I didn't earn enough ; that's why . When I earn more , Uncle Julius will smile ! " " For that ? " Harold looked confused . Sherry nodded , her big eyes clear . " Yeah , if Uncle Julius could be a bit happier , he wouldn't hurt himself . " Sherry asked the rose what depression was . The rose said it was when someone was so sad they didn't want to live . Sherry thought of her mother . Scarlett hardly smiled , and in the end , she left because she didn't want to live . Sherry had already lost her mother . She wanted Julius to be happy and live longer . Harold watched her quietly . After a moment , he gently set Sherry down , wrapped his warm scarf around her head , and patted her shoulder softly . " Uncle Julius isn't unhappy ; he just thanked me . " " Really ? " Sherry's eyes sparkled like a light bulb , her little face full of surprise and happiness . Harold caught her excitement and smiled , nodding , " Yep . " Sherry grinned , her eyes curving like moons . " Great ! Gotta go , Dad . I need to keep working to make Uncle Julius smile more .
