As a veteran cadre with many years of experience, Gu Wei's ideological work is simply earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.
Seeing Chen Qiu's tears streaming down his face, he decided to add fuel to the fire:
"Xiao Qiu, you think your big brother is so rich, and that money comes as fast as the wind, and he can get as much as he wants, as if it's easy. But think about it again, what did you encounter in Hong Kong a few months ago?
Your family's research center was burned down, the villa you lived in was besieged, and you had to blow yourself up in order to protect yourself. Even your eldest brother and great-grandfather were shot while driving on the road.
You must have witnessed and experienced all of this with your own eyes, right? If it weren't for the blessing of your Chen family ancestors, do you know how many times your eldest brother would have died?
The business world is like a battlefield. Why is your brother being bullied in Hong Kong? It's because others think he's not strong enough, so he has to take the beatings. Outsiders want to take away his business, his company, and his property.
Now, your eldest brother's business has just gotten on track and he's made some money, but you think he has too much money? You think he should donate his wealth and help others.
But have you ever thought about whether your big brother is really that powerful? Does he really have so much money? Is he really at the point where he can just give it all away? Can he rest easy?
No, your eldest brother's business is just starting out. He's invested in hospitals, pharmaceutical factories, film studios, and real estate. Isn't that money? How can he invest without money? How can he improve his own strength?
Without strength, as I just said, your Chen family can only passively take the beating. In the mainland, a small Li Jun can force your eldest brother to leave the hospital where he has worked for many years.
Without strength, your brother will be eaten to the bone by those unreasonable local financial groups in Hong Kong. They will not only want your money, but also your life and the life of your entire family.
Only when you are strong enough can you protect your property, keep your family safe, and provide the best life for your loved ones. Similarly, only when your strength reaches a certain level can you have more energy and money to help others.
"Xiaoqiu, Uncle Gu has always thought you were a good kid, sensible since childhood, so you should always think twice before encountering anything. You should understand your big brother's difficulties. You just accused your big brother like that, do you know how much pain he must be feeling?"
Chen Qiu burst into tears when he heard this, "Brother, I, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so willful..."
Chen Xia's expression was dull.
Those who don’t know him would think that he was moved by Comrade Lao Gu’s words. In fact, only he knew in his heart that he was completely impressed by Comrade Lao Gu’s way of thinking.
If his father-in-law knew that he had a cheat code that allowed him to make money easily, would he slap him to death?
However, it was a good thing that Chen Qiu realized his mistake, and it also made Chen Xia breathe a sigh of relief.
It has been 11 years since he was reborn into this era. In his heart, he already regards Chen Qiu as his own sister (wait, isn’t she really his sister?)
So he still sincerely hoped that his sister could be of the same mind as him.
They did not fall down in the most difficult times, and went through the most difficult years together through thick and thin, but they had to go their separate ways when they were sharing prosperity, which was something he was unwilling to accept in his heart.
Chen Xia stood up and touched Chen Qiu's head:
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I'm glad you understand my brother's painstaking efforts. I know you mean well, but what I want to say is, a little kindness is often followed by a grudge. I saved 100 people now, but if I don't save anyone tomorrow, our Chen family will be condemned by thousands of people."
Chen Chun also agreed at this time:
"Xiao Qiu, your elder brother is right. We should do good things, but we can't be a pushover. The current conditions for setting up a medical aid fund are not met. It's a bottomless pit that will drag your elder brother down."
Chen Qiu could only nod helplessly, obviously figuring it out.
There are tens of millions of sick people in this world. If the Chen family has to rescue them all, not to mention one Chen family, even a hundred Chen families cannot fill this hole.
Gu Wei and his wife breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two siblings reconciled.
At this time, Gu Lin suddenly walked out from behind the door, her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
"Husband, since you can't help those poor patients, why don't we build a social welfare home to bring together the lonely elderly and orphans in Yuezhou to support them? What do you think?
Last time, when my son's kindergarten was organizing a relief activity, we went to the welfare home. The conditions there were terrible. The elderly and children could only enjoy basic food, and if they were sick, they could only receive treatment for minor illnesses. The welfare home was unable to treat serious illnesses.
So how about this, we build an orphanage ourselves, provide these poor elderly and children with the best medical care, the best food and accommodation, and help the orphans continue to go to school, giving them the opportunity to change their own destiny?
Chen Xia and Chen Qiu nodded in agreement.
If we cannot or dare not rescue millions of people, we can still rescue some elderly and orphans. Even if it costs money, the amount of money spent is limited and will not become a bottomless pit.
Gu Wei was also happy when he heard it, and touched his daughter's head affectionately:
"Okay, Xiaolin, this is a great suggestion. Not only is it a good deed that will accumulate merit, it can also reduce the financial burden on our city. I can assure you that if you want to build an orphanage, the city will definitely allocate land to you free of charge. How do you think?"
Chen Xia was speechless. What else could he do? Now that things had come to this, if he didn't agree, he might not only have a hard time with his sister, but also with his wife.
What’s the matter? The protagonist of an online novel must do charity when he becomes rich?
If we have some money, why don’t we buy some braised pork head and eat it? Wouldn’t it be delicious?
Chen Xia didn't dare to show his true thoughts. He pretended to nod excitedly and agreed repeatedly, and did not forget to praise Gu Lin a few words:
"Look at my wife's awareness. She's really high. My father-in-law educated her well."
Gu Lin smiled seductively, Chen Xia's smile seemed a bit forced, and Chen Qiu's smile seemed a bit thoughtful.
Today's argument between the brother and sister had a great impact on her.
If you have money, should you give to charity? How should you do it? What projects should you contribute to? Should you force donations, or should it be voluntary?
At least Chen Xia’s current view is that charity depends on opportunity, and money cannot be thrown around casually. Money must be spent wisely. If the money is handed over to certain “plus” organizations, it would be better to go home and buy some delicious food for the children.
