In the WeChat group created for Teacher Su, Jiang Feng added former beneficiaries one by one. After adding the 56th beneficiary, Jiang Feng began to speak in the group:
Jiang Feng: "Okay, everyone is here, please be quiet, let's get down to business."
The beneficiaries who were originally communicating with each other stopped.
Jiang Feng: "I have already told you my identity when I called you, so I will not repeat it here. But before I get down to business, I must first state that what I am doing now has not been approved by Teacher Su, nor has it been approved by Teacher Su's family. I am just a bystander, telling you about Teacher Su's unknown deeds and his current experience."
Wu Pinghu: "Student Jiang, thank you for organizing us and telling us about the misfortune that Teacher Su encountered. We are all worried about Teacher Su's condition. Please tell us in detail, Student Jiang."
Jiang Feng: "Teacher Su had a stroke five days ago when he was out scavenging. Fortunately, a passerby saw him and called 120 for emergency services. Teacher Su was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment and is no longer in danger of death."
Jiang Feng: "But the sequelae of the stroke are still very serious. Teacher Su is currently unable to take care of himself and will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. The only thing to be thankful for is that Teacher Su's mind is still clear. Although his speech is a little fuzzy, you can still hear what he is saying if you listen carefully."
In the study, Wu Pinghu, who had always been strong, had tears in his eyes.
A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. Teacher Su is a great benefactor who changed Wu Pinghu's life. Now this great benefactor has encountered such misfortune, just like his father encountered such misfortune.
Tang Qiusheng: "As an old teacher, Mr. Su should have a lot of pension, but he still goes out to pick up rubbish. Could it be that he has been supporting other students after retirement?"
Jiang Feng: "Yes, Mr. Su has been sponsoring students for 20 to 30 years. He has sponsored 88 students in total. 56 of you have already started working, and there are 32 students still studying, 26 of whom are still receiving sponsorship from Mr. Su."
Jiang Feng: "Teacher Su is just a teacher, not a big boss. He sponsors so many students to study. You can't imagine how much he has paid behind the scenes. This is one of the reasons why I organized you today, just to tell you how difficult it is for Teacher Su to sponsor you."
Zeng Xiaoyuan: "Student Jiang, please tell us about his deeds."
Jiang Feng: "Then let me briefly tell you how much Mr. Su paid to support you. He started supporting poor students in 1993. If I remember correctly, the first person Mr. Su supported was Mr. Wu Pinghu."
Wu Pinghu: "It was me. Teacher Su's support for me directly changed my life. It can be said that my achievements today are all due to Teacher Su. He is my second parent."
Jiang Feng: "At the beginning, Mr. Su's financial support for poor students was within his ability, and his family also supported his good deeds. However, Mr. Su's character is such that he can't stand seeing excellent students drop out of school due to poverty. As long as he knows about it, he can't help but help."
Jiang Feng: "Our country has a large population, a large number of poor people, and naturally there are countless students with excellent academic performance. It soon exceeded the ability of Teacher Su to support each one. At that time, the family had already complained about his behavior of supporting students, because he ignored his son's marriage and not only used all his salary to support you, but also put all his few savings into it."
Seeing the news in the WeChat group, the 56 beneficiaries from all over the country were shocked. They had always been grateful for Teacher Su’s financial support, and now they were even more moved.
Jiang Feng: "Twelve years ago, a student sponsored by Teacher Su had a mother who was seriously ill and needed a large sum of money for treatment. Teacher Su then raised 30,000 yuan for him. If I remember correctly, this student should be Teacher Tang Qiu Sheng?"
Tang Qiusheng: "It's me. Teacher Su has been so kind to me that I will never be able to repay him in this lifetime."
Jiang Feng: "Teacher Tang, you may not know that Teacher Su stole the money from his wife's life savings, and then made his wife so angry that she died."
In a 985 university in Hubei Province, Tang Qiusheng stood up suddenly, staring at the text in the WeChat group, tears streaming down his face. He never expected that Teacher Su would actually...
Tang Qiusheng: "I'm sorry to Teacher Su. I'm really sorry to Teacher Su!!!"
Jiang Feng: "Even though he made his wife so angry that she died, Mr. Su still did not stop providing financial assistance, and even intensified it. After retirement, he worked hard to make money by picking up trash, but he still could not make up for the increasing amount of financial assistance. For this reason, Mr. Su borrowed money from friends many times, and even sold the house he lived in a few years ago."
In Hunan Province, Zeng Xiaoyuan's eyes were already blurred with tears. Thinking of the old man who rode a bicycle, stuffed money into her hands with a smile on his face, and told her to study hard, her heart was moved beyond words.
Guangxi Province, Guangdong Province, Guizhou Province...
The 56 beneficiaries from all over the country were so moved by Teacher Su’s great love that their eyes were blurred with tears. As bystanders, we would be moved to see such deeds, let alone the beneficiaries themselves, whose hearts really trembled.
Jiang Feng: "Ever since Teacher Su angered his wife to death, his relationship with his son and daughter-in-law has completely broken down. In addition, Teacher Su not only did not stop the financial support, but intensified it, which made his family completely disappointed in him."
Jiang Feng: "For this, I hope you won't blame Teacher Su's family. Teacher Su is indeed great, but if you put yourself in their shoes, if I had parents like them, I wouldn't necessarily do any better than Teacher Su's family. After all, over the years, Teacher Su has only cared about you, the recipients, but has lacked concern for his own family, and has never helped his son and daughter-in-law in the slightest."
The beneficiaries all expressed their understanding after hearing this, and they all felt guilty towards Teacher Su's family.
Jiang Feng: "Teacher Su has always been kind and never expects anything in return. He didn't even tell you his name. Even though he is now paralyzed by a stroke, he has never thought of asking you for help. But as a bystander, I think I should tell you about these things, and I hope you can work together to let him spend his old age happily and peacefully."
Wu Pinghu: "Student Jiang, thank you very much for telling us everything that Teacher Su has done for us silently behind the scenes. I still say that without Teacher Su, I would not be where I am today. I am the first poor student he sponsored. Now that he has encountered misfortune, it is my duty to take care of him. There is no need to trouble other brothers and sisters. I can take on the responsibility of taking care of Teacher Su alone."
Tang Qiusheng: "Senior Wu, I cannot agree with what you said. You also heard from classmate Jiang that Teacher Su not only sponsored my studies, but also made his wife angry to death in order to raise money for my mother's medical treatment. I am the one who feels the most sorry for Teacher Su. Now that he has encountered misfortune, I have the ability and responsibility to take care of him. You can rest assured that I will treat him like your father."
Zeng Xiaoyuan: "Senior Wu, Junior Tang, you are all boys, how can you know how to take care of people? Taking care of people is something that we girls are good at. I am now successful in my career and have a lot of free time, which is just right for taking care of patients. So, don't fight with me, just leave Teacher Su to me."
"That won't do. I've been looking for a chance to repay Mr. Su for his financial support to me. I have to be the one to take care of him."
"Dear seniors, Teacher Su has done us a great favor, and we all have to do our part."
“…”
The entire WeChat group became lively in an instant, with 56 beneficiaries vying for the right to take care of Teacher Su. No one was willing to fall behind, which moved Jiang Feng deeply.
This is the way to open up positive energy. Don't be like those ungrateful recipients who take other people's kind donations as their responsibility, and will be bitten back once you stop supporting him (her) for any reason.
That kind of ungrateful person really should go to hell.
Jiang Feng did not get involved, but just watched them argue one by one.
Ten minutes later, the 56 beneficiaries reached a consensus, which was to take turns to take care of Teacher Su.
After reaching a consensus, Wu Pinghu @ Jiang Feng said: "Student Jiang, you organized us this time. Do you have any suggestions?"
Jiang Feng: "I do have an immature idea, I'll share it with you for your reference."
Wu Pinghu: "Well, classmate Jiang, you speak, and we are all listening."
Jiang Feng: "I feel your feelings for Teacher Su. I suggest you make a donation, but the amount must be within your means and based on your actual situation. You can't donate all the funds you can to repay Teacher Su's kindness. This way of donation is not advisable."
Jiang Feng: "Then divide the money from the donation into three parts: one part is used to subsidize Mr. Su's family, which can be regarded as making up for his debt to his family over the years. One part is used to subsidize another 26 poor students, which can be regarded as fulfilling Mr. Su's wish. The last part is spent on Mr. Su, to hire the best caregiver for him, and all expenses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation will be spent on this money."
Jiang Feng: "With financial security, no matter who takes care of Teacher Su, it will express your gratitude without bringing you financial burden. It can be said to be the best of both worlds."
Wu Pinghu: "The method proposed by Jiang is good. I agree."
Tang Qiusheng: "I agree, this method really takes all aspects into consideration."
Zeng Xiaoyuan: "I agree. Jiang's idea is indeed very thoughtful."
"agree!"
"agree!"
"I agree!"
“…”
Soon, the 56 beneficiaries reached a consensus and unanimously agreed to Jiang Feng's proposal.
Wu Pinghu: "Since everyone has no objection, let's report the donation amount in the group first. I will take the lead and donate 100,000 yuan."
Zeng Xiaoyuan: "I will donate 500,000 yuan."
Tang Qiusheng: "I will donate 200,000 yuan."
Jiang Feng @ Tang Qiusheng: "Teacher Tang, the amount of your donation is inappropriate. I have already said that you cannot donate all the money you can use just to repay Teacher Su's kindness. You have only been a university lecturer for more than two years and you don't have much savings. If you donate this 200,000, you will be back to the days before liberation overnight."
Tang Qiusheng @ Jiang Feng: "Student Jiang, you can't treat them differently. Senior Zeng donated 500,000 yuan and you didn't say anything. Why can't I say anything when I only donated 200,000 yuan?"
Jiang Feng @ Tang Qiusheng: "I didn't treat them differently. Senior Zeng is the one with the best financial conditions among the 56 recipients. There is nothing wrong with her donating 500,000 yuan."
Zeng Xiaoyuan@Jiang Feng: "Mr. Jiang is really amazing. You have contacted so many of us and know all our situations. I am curious how you did it?"
Jiang Feng @ Zeng Xiaoyuan: "Haha, it doesn't matter how I did it. You guys continue. I will be responsible for supervising you and not letting you donate beyond your ability. I hope everyone will be more conscious and would rather donate less than more."
Tang Qiusheng@Jiang Feng: "Okay, then I'll donate 100,000 yuan, is that okay?"
Jiang Feng@Tang Qiusheng: “Sure!”
"I'll donate 50,000 yuan."
"I'll donate 30,000 yuan."
"I'll donate 80,000 yuan."
“…”
All the beneficiaries in the group donated money enthusiastically. In less than three minutes, everyone reported their donation amounts. The largest donation was made by Zeng Xiaoyuan, who donated 500,000 yuan, and the smallest donation was 10,000 yuan, and that was a beneficiary who just graduated and started working this year.
Then, after a statistics, everyone was shocked to find that the donation amount was as high as 2.94 million. This was even after Jiang Feng spoke out several times to stop them from donating more.
Jiang Feng: "That's right, we only need 60,000 to reach 3 million. I'll make up the difference!"
Zeng Xiaoyuan @ Jiang Feng: "Mr. Jiang, how can I let you make up for this? This is not appropriate, let me do it!"
Jiang Feng @ Zeng Xiaoyuan: "I made this suggestion, so it is my duty to contribute. In addition, if it is convenient for everyone, we can gather in Simingzhou, Fujian Province tomorrow, and then we can go to visit Teacher Su together."
Wuping Lake @ Jiang Feng: "Simingzhou can barely be considered my territory, so I will arrange a meeting place tomorrow?"
Jiang Feng @ Wuping Lake: "It would be great if you, County Magistrate Wu, could arrange it yourself."
Wu Pinghu @ Jiang Feng: "Sure enough, I can't hide my identity from you. It seems that you are really not simple, Jiang classmate!"
Seeing the conversation between the two, the other people in the group couldn't help but be shocked. The first person that Teacher Su sponsored turned out to be the county magistrate. This was really beyond everyone's expectations.
The identity of classmate Jiang is also very mysterious, and everyone can't help but look forward to meeting him tomorrow.
