Fang Tongtong smiled and quickly tapped her fingers, "Sister, you don't need to repay me. When you become successful in the future, give back to society and help those who need care. That will be the best way to repay me."
"Yes, I will."
The two chatted for a few more minutes. The girl named He Xiaohong kept expressing her gratitude, while Fang Tongtong comforted and encouraged her. After leaving the chat, Fang Tongtong transferred 800 yuan to each of the four girls.
Then... her newly received salary was almost gone again.
"Sigh, I'm going to go hungry again this month."
Fang Tongtong sighed, but a smile remained on her face. She felt happy and fulfilled because she had helped others.
Although her own quality of life has declined somewhat, those children are able to continue their schooling and will not drop out due to lack of money. Just thinking about how she has helped the children makes her feel especially happy.
Giving roses to others leaves a lingering fragrance on your own hands.
Since she started working, Fang Tongtong has been consistently sponsoring impoverished children. At first, she sponsored one or two children, and then gradually increased the number. Now she sponsors five children. He Xiaohong is the only college student among them and was the first child she sponsored. She started helping He Xiaohong when he was in high school and continued to support him until he went to college.
Previously, she earned 800 yuan a month, but misfortune never comes singly. He Xiaohong's father had an accident while working and became paralyzed in bed. The only pillar of the family collapsed, making this impoverished family even worse off.
He Xiaohong has two younger siblings. She wanted to drop out of school to work and earn money for her father's medical expenses. Fang Tongtong persuaded her to stop and sent her 150,000 to 160,000 yuan in total. If it weren't for Shi Xiaobao's support, her salary would definitely not have been enough.
She was going to give Shi Xiaobao a good beating tonight. Anyway, he was rich, and she was using his money to do good deeds, which was also doing him a favor. She hoped that Shi Xiaobao would find a beautiful and fierce wife, haha!
Fang Tongtong's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face froze for a moment. For some reason, the thought of Shi Xiaobao marrying another girl in the future made her feel a dull ache in her heart.
If she had a wife, she wouldn't be able to shamelessly ask Shi Xiaobao for money anymore.
"Why are you sighing at such a young age? Are you short of money again?" A young policeman walked over and joked. He was also from the criminal investigation team and was a college classmate of Fang Tongtong. His name was Tong Letian, and he was a sunny and handsome boy.
Tong Letian's parents also worked in the public security department and were old colleagues of Fang Yanming. They could be considered childhood sweethearts with Fang Tongtong, and the two had a pretty good relationship. Their parents used to joke in private about arranging a marriage between their children.
"Yes, He Xiaohong's father's medical expenses are too high."
Fang Tongtong did not hide the fact that she was sponsoring impoverished students from Tong Letian.
Tong Letian frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen that He Xiaohong?"
“I met her once. She’s a very down-to-earth girl. She’s in college now, but she doesn’t want to continue. I have to help her.”
Fang Tongtong had visited He Xiaohong's hometown before, a very poor mountainous area. Fang Tongtong, who had grown up in a wealthy family, couldn't understand how, in the 21st century, there were still people who couldn't afford meat.
But that's the reality. He Xiaohong's family could only eat meat during festivals like Chinese New Year. They usually ate potatoes, which served as both a vegetable and a staple food. It was a little better than during the famine, at least they didn't go hungry.
The other children who received sponsorship came from similar backgrounds, not much better off than He Xiaohong. After seeing their hardships, Fang Tongtong felt ashamed and quietly changed her extravagant ways, using the money she saved to sponsor impoverished students. He Xiaohong was the first and the one she sponsored the longest.
