Chapter 121 Returning Brother's Child Support
"I know. I've found out everything. I'll take care of the family matters over the next two days and then I'll take you to see mom."
"good!"
Bai Qihang lowered his head, his eyes reddening again. He remembered his sister's words not to let him cry easily, and forced back the tears. In his heart, he actually missed his mother very much, but he didn't know where she was, and the longing became even deeper.
Every time he sees others calling their mother, he is extremely envious.
He had a mother, but he didn't know why she didn't want him or his sister. Today, his sister told him and he finally understood: his mother had gone to pursue her own happiness.
It’s not that I don’t want them, but I want to find my own happiness.
Although I don’t understand what happiness is, since I am looking for it, it must be a good thing.
Well! Mom went out to look for good things.
Bai Yangfan: “······” Her brother is a genius and can understand happiness in this way.
The so-called matter of handling matters was nothing more than going to the county retirement home to deal with the child support that her father had given to Qihang. She had been to the retirement home so many times that the old man who opened the door already knew her.
Seeing her coming, he waved at her: "Xiaobai! You're here for nothing today. The agency doesn't have the money to pay for your brother's support. The Finance Bureau hasn't sent this year's money yet. Come back in a few days!"
Bai Yangfan was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Grandpa Zhou! I'm not here to ask for money, I want to see the director. Is Director Guan here? Is he here today?"
Uncle Zhou glanced at Bai Yangfan, a little suspicious: "Aren't you here to get the money?"
"no."
"It's almost the end of the year, isn't your family short of money?"
"No problem. There are only my brother and I in my family. How much can we eat? Besides, I often go to the mountains to pick herbs to supplement our diet."
"That's good." Uncle Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. "You don't know, Director Guan has been having a headache these past few days too. He can't allocate the money, and everyone is relying on it for the New Year. He's worried so much that his hair is almost turning white. He's here, in the office, go up and find him!"
Nodding, Bai Yangfan said to Uncle Zhou, "Thank you! I'll go upstairs and look for Director Guan first."
Bai Yangfan knew a little about the situation at the retirement home. It was responsible for almost all the disabled veterans in a county. The money came from government grants, and there was basically no other source of income.
Bai Yangfan has often come to collect money over the years and knows something about the situation in the retirement home.
After meeting Director Guan, the two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Bai Yangfan directly explained his purpose: "Director! I was admitted to Kyoto Medical University, and after the New Year I will take my brother to Kyoto to study.
I want to stop the child support my father left behind. Now that we're gone, there's no need to come back to collect it. Let's leave it to someone who needs it more than us!"
Director Guan was an old man in his fifties with gray hair and a broken left hand. When he heard that she had been admitted to Kyoto Medical University, his wrinkled face beamed with joy.
"Great! Kid! You're amazing! You got into university? Congratulations! But if you don't take the money, how are you going to live in Kyoto?"
Director Guan was worried about Bai Yangfan. He knew that going to university was free and there was a subsidy to be received. But she was not going alone. She brought her younger brother with her. The child was only five years old and still very young.
Money is needed everywhere. If I lose this money, how can a college student support my younger brother?
Bai Yangfan felt relieved to know that Director Guan was genuinely thinking about him. After all, he was a soldier from the battlefield, and he always took care of the families of soldiers.
"Director! I naturally have my own way to support my brother. Don't worry about us. I'm here today to take care of this matter. Once I'm done, I can spend the New Year peacefully at home. I'll be gone next year, and I might not come back often in the future."
Looking at the girl in front of him with a sincere tone and a firm attitude, Director Guan was still worried: "Have you thought it through? If you really return the money, it will be difficult for you to get it back in the future. I think you should think about it carefully!"
Our county is poor and financially tight, but we'll still give it to you. If you sign a written document voluntarily returning the money, it will be difficult to continue receiving it in the future. "Child! Don't be impulsive. Think carefully. This is a serious matter."
It is true that young people act impulsively, but he is old after all, so we should remind him when necessary and not just watch him make mistakes.
Bai Yangfan was very grateful for the director's kindness, and still smiled and said, "I've thought about it. It's not easy to take my brother back and forth from Kyoto. It's not worth it to travel such a long distance just for such a small amount of money.
My brother and I will find a way to support ourselves after we go to Kyoto, so we don't need to collect this money. Director! This isn't an impulsive decision; I really want to return it.
There are so many treasures in her space. If she takes out any of them and sells them, it would be enough for her and her siblings to eat for several years. Why should she run back home from Kyoto for such a small amount of money?
The bonuses earned from selling wild boars in the past year or two, plus some left by the original owner, plus the money they received this year, are enough for them to live in Kyoto.
The bastard also said that he had applied for the credit of opening the tomb of King Li. Maybe he would get a bonus later?
Seeing that she explained it so clearly, Director Guan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find some paper to write an application for you. You sign your name. Since this is a decision you've made after careful consideration, I'll do as you wish and help you with it."
Director Guan found a pen and paper and wrote an application to refund Bai Qihang's child support.
Bai Yangfan signed and put his fingerprints on it, and the matter was settled.
After putting away the application, Director Guan pulled five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Bai Yangfan: "Son! Congratulations on getting into university. I didn't know you were coming, and I don't know what to buy you. Take this money and buy something you like."
"Director! You're too polite." Bai Yangfan pushed the money back to the man opposite who called himself the old steward. "I have money. This is your private money! You should keep it for yourself and buy something delicious! I came in a hurry today and didn't bring anything. I wanted to buy you a pack of cigarettes, but the last time I saw you, you coughed every time you twitched your eyes, so I didn't dare to buy you one. Cigarettes are not good things. For your own health, you should quit!"
Being cared for, Director Guan's face was filled with joy. He stuffed the money into Bai Yangfan's hand and said, "Kid, you're right. This is my private money. Take it! When you go to Kyoto, you must study hard and strive to become a good doctor."
The major you chose is good. Medical university, you will definitely be a doctor who saves lives. Your grandmother was an herbalist, and you have inherited her legacy, which is good."
Seeing that the director sincerely wanted to congratulate him, Bai Yangfan did not delay any longer. He took the money and planned to give him some local specialties as a return gift before the New Year.
If I refuse to accept the money, it will hurt the director's reputation and it won't look good.
