Mo Yan wasn't afraid of them at all. She took out all the accounts the original owner had kept, the evidence, and the letters written by her parents.
I plan to donate all this money when the time comes. I'll call the district committee members, and that'll settle the matter. I'll give the money to them and let them donate it.
People at that time were very honest and would definitely not misappropriate the money.
Moreover, many things in the community need repair, and we also need to buy books for the children, so they accept donations!
It's just about getting money for the kind-hearted grandmother as a witness, right? They can do it, they have no problem with it. They're like bricks, ready to be moved wherever needed.
After returning home, the Mo family began preparations, planning to give Mo Yan something big.
...
Mo Yan got up early in the morning, bought a lot of soy milk and fried dough sticks, and went to the neighborhood committee.
"Auntie, you're buying breakfast again? That's not appropriate, not appropriate, you can't do that."
They are here to serve the people, how could they possibly ask for their aunt's breakfast?
“If you don’t eat it, I’ll throw it away.” Mo Yan raised an eyebrow, looking like she definitely would.
They quickly said, "We'll eat, we'll eat, but there really won't be a next time."
This is really not good.
"Okay." Mo Yan finally agreed. After breakfast, the community assigned two boys to go back with her.
Mo Yan thought for a moment, then bought some fruit and nutritional supplements, only to give to the uncles in the village who were older than her. She definitely couldn't do what the original owner of this body did for everyone in the village in her previous life.
Because she bought things for the whole village, they thought that Mo Yan had a lot of money and should buy things for the village. If she didn't buy anything even once, they would make a fuss, just like the original owner of the body was heartless.
The saying "A little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment" applies here. If you give them money every time, they'll start criticizing you for it once. They'll say you're shameless, heartless, and utterly devoid of conscience. Bah!
They took a car to the town, and as soon as they arrived in the village, they found that everyone had arrived. They spoke to Mo Yan as soon as they saw her.
"Mo Yan, you must be Mo Yan. When you left, you were just a tiny little thing. Now you're all grown up. It's all thanks to the good feng shui of our village."
"Mo Yan, now that you're successful, don't forget the people in the village."
Mo Yan smiled faintly before slowly speaking, "What are you saying, brother? I haven't become rich. I'm just a small-time forest worker. Several people from the village went there back then, but they couldn't withstand the harsh conditions and came back first. I've only managed to persevere until now because I gritted my teeth and believed that the desert would eventually turn into a forest."
Seeing the desert turn into a forest fills me with pride.
Don't think that being a forest ranger is easy. The transformation from desert to oasis is the result of the efforts of several generations. The original owner's face is proof of the hardships endured.
That's true, but the person wasn't particularly happy about it.
"So you're not leaving again this time? Where's your husband? I haven't seen him. And who are these two?"
Mo Yan knew she would be asked this question. "Oh, I don't have a husband. These two are young people from the community who came back with me. I won't talk to you about my brother. I'm going to see my third uncle. I'll head back now."
Then the older man spoke up, "Then why didn't you visit us? We're all from the same village, and you didn't even mention buying us anything when you came back?"
They have so much money, but they didn't even offer to share some with them?
They were practically saying it outright.
Mo Yan stopped and immediately laughed. "Brother, what you're saying is ridiculous. Why should I buy anything for you? How many people are there in the village? How much money would it cost me? Does my money grow on trees? I can buy for whoever I want, and I won't buy for those I don't want to buy."
That's very direct. Some people are too embarrassed to say anything, but that older brother is different. He feels that as Mo Yan's cousin, he has the right to say a few words to her.
“I’m your cousin. Now that you’re successful, how can you come back to the village without bringing anything back? Don’t you respect the villagers?”
You need to understand, without a husband, won't you have to rely on the villagers when you get old?
Listen to how much the village has sacrificed for her.
"Brother, I don't like what you're saying. Since you put it that way, shouldn't you buy some things for the villagers after all these years in the village?"
"When I die, I'll rely on the country; I don't need to rely on anyone else. There's no reason to force anyone to buy anything. If I did, I'd go to the police station and ask if they sell this book."
Mo Yan refused to budge, and her elder brother snorted coldly, "Then don't ask the village for help in the future. You really have no conscience. If it weren't for the village, would you be where you are today?"
"I am who I am today because I was able to endure hardships and difficulties."
Villagers: "..."
They said, "How could Mo Yan really be willing to buy things for the whole village? There are so many people in their village, how much money would that cost? If it were them, they wouldn't be willing either."
"As for whether I have a conscience, it's not for you to judge, brother. Please make way."
Mo Yan walked past them and went to her uncle's house to leave some things.
Just then, her uncle's son, who was also Mo Yan's cousin, said, "Sister, will there be more of that in the future?"
Mo Yan raised an eyebrow. Are all the people in this village so shameless?
"Bullshit, I'm your father, not Mo Yan's father, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Back then, Mo Yan was just a young girl who went to the desert and only just returned. What right do you have to demand anything of her? Not even Mo Fang has the right!"
The younger cousin blushed after being scolded. "No, it's just that Brother Mo Fang said that now that my cousin is successful, she certainly won't forget the villagers. Buying things and helping to arrange jobs are very simple things for her, right?"
Upon hearing this, the community workers finally understood why the aunt wanted them to be together; these villagers were shameless.
“He said you should go find him, but I definitely don’t have any. I came to see my uncle because we haven’t seen each other for many years. I’m just an old lady, I can’t even take care of myself, let alone find jobs for you. Don’t even dream about it, it’s not even dark yet.”
The original owner was just a retired old lady, what could she do? But in her previous life, after being put on a pedestal, she started to pretend to be rich, spending all her money and even going to the neighborhood committee, the township, and the county to ask them for jobs. She was just... seriously mentally ill.
If you do nothing and live a carefree life, your shameless behavior will only lead to you losing everything.
Originally, when you came back here, everyone thought you were a forest ranger hero and took care of you in every way. But you acted out, and that was wrong of you. To put it bluntly, it wasn't just your achievement; it was the achievement of several generations, the achievement of everyone.
Unfortunately, the original owner was clueless at the time and was fooled into not knowing anything, which led to her losing everything. She was bullied and no one helped her. If she hadn't gone too far, how could the neighborhood committee and the town have ignored her?
