【The little girl is also someone who knows how to be grateful.】

[This child is kind and righteous, and my support for her is not in vain.]

[It would be great if I had someone to support me when I was little. Then I wouldn't be forced to do manual labor now...]

I really envy the little girl.

…

"My husband and I have sponsored five children in total, and I feel that she is the most sensible and grateful among them."

"This summer, she was admitted to a very good school. I am very happy for her."

"It just so happened that the city I went on a trip to a few days ago was very close to her school, so I thought of going to see her."

"I bought her some nice clothes and went to the school to look for someone."

"I didn't tell her in advance because I wanted to give her a surprise, but it turned out that the department she was admitted to couldn't even find her at school!"

【???】

What's going on?

[This is strange. Could it be that the girl lied?]

[No way? Such a nice girl...]

How else can we explain why the girl doesn't even exist in the school?

…

Netizens and women think alike, she said.

"I felt something was wrong, so I called her home."

"Her mother told me that the child's grandmother passed away a few days ago, so she took leave and returned to her hometown to see her elder off for the last time. She will return to school the day after tomorrow."

"I still felt something was wrong, so I didn't leave the city. Instead, I stayed in a hotel near the school for two days, waiting for her so-called return to school."

"But I never waited for her. On the third day, I tried to contact her family, but they couldn't reach her anymore..."

The woman sighed and asked seriously, "Host, I want to know where that girl is now? What happened to her during the six years I've been supporting her?"

After hearing the woman's request, Lan Xi already knew what was going on.

She first said, "You can tell the fortune."

Then she asked the woman for the sponsored girl’s hometown, age, and birthday.”

With this information, Lan Xi was able to figure out the truth.

She lowered her head and counted silently with her fingers.

Then she turned to the woman on the live stream and said, "You've been scammed!"

After hearing the host's words, netizens watching in the live broadcast room left messages.

[I told you! I was definitely scammed!]

[This... must be fake! How could a girl who graduated from elementary school six years ago actually deceive an adult?]

[Even though the anchor said so, I still don’t believe it! ]

[I guess the sponsoring sister doesn't believe this answer? Otherwise, she wouldn't come to the anchor for a fortune-teller!]

…

Looking at what netizens said, Lan Xi shook his head.

"It's not the girl who lied, but the girl's mother."

Hearing her say this, the woman who sponsored the poor students was stunned.

"How did she lie to me?"

The woman still remembered the girl's mother. She looked like a simple country woman, not someone who would deceive others...

Lan Xi replied, "The girl you sponsored was forced by her mother to lie to you over the phone."

"Every time she calls you and tells you about her test results, she's probably the one who's most upset."

"After you sponsored her, she didn't go to school. You sponsored her for six years, but she didn't even go to junior high school or high school."

"She started working a long time ago. She worked at home when she was twelve or thirteen, and went to work in the county town after she turned fourteen."

"Before she turned eighteen, she got married at her parents' request, and now she even has a child."

"And her mother used the money you funded for her schooling as a living allowance for her family and to subsidize her son's expenses."

Lan Xi didn't need to elaborate on what happened next. The woman and the netizens in the live broadcast room could already imagine how difficult life was for a girl after graduating from elementary school...

They say that impoverished mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. I think it's not the environment that's evil, but the hearts of some people in those remote mountain villages!

Poor little girl, I can't imagine what she can do if she goes out to work at the age of fourteen.

[When I was fourteen, my parents still took me to school every day...]

[Let alone fourteen, even at twenty-four, I still felt like a baby, while others at fourteen had already entered society...]

[That girl's mother is simply inhuman! ]

[Using your own daughter's future to support your son's expenses is so biased! ]

I hate families that favor boys over girls! I'm sure if the girl's gender was changed, her parents would still support her through college even without financial support!

…

Watching the discussion among netizens, the woman who was the sponsor was silent for a long time.

She thought of many possibilities.

Do you think that maybe the girl didn’t study well and didn’t get into college?

Maybe I found the wrong place. Does that city and school actually have branch campuses?

Or maybe the girl really went back to her hometown to see her grandmother off, but was delayed for a few more days?

And I couldn't get through to her parents on the phone, maybe they were busy out?

The woman had been trying her best to think positively about the matter, but she didn't expect that the result would develop in the worst direction!

She couldn't connect the girl who spoke sweetly on the phone and was very grateful to her with a young woman from the village who got married and had children at such a young age.

The woman was in a very confused mood, and this incident was quite stimulating to her.

She took a deep breath and then looked at Lan Xi.

"Thank you, anchor. If it weren't for you, I might still be kept in the dark."

"Since this has already happened and the result cannot be changed, I will stop supporting her from now on."

After hearing what she said, netizens in the live broadcast room still felt that this was not enough!

【Did I get cheated for nothing? 】

[We must find that family and ask her mother to return the money she stole! ]

[That's right! If I don't pay it back, all the years of support and emotional investment will be too much!]

[Sister, if you want justice, you must vent your anger! ]

…

The woman who sponsors poor students shook her head at the netizens' suggestions.

"I won't go back to her house about this matter. The anchor said her mother has already spent all the money I gave her. Even if I go back, they won't have the money to pay me back."

"Even if I have money, considering how they've cheated me for so many years, I won't pay them back no matter what they say!"

"If I go find him, it will only make me angrier."

"It's better to just let it go. At least it will stop me from getting angry later."

"Otherwise, if you get angry and become ill, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Although this decision of a woman may not satisfy her, it is the best choice for her body and emotions.

Fortunately, her family's financial situation is not lacking for the financial support, so forget it...
