Doing good deeds is not that easy. There is a singer she likes very much who donated all his wealth. She often rushes to the front line when disaster strikes, but she is still criticized by many haters.
Lu Jiaxin didn't continue this heavy topic: "Is uncle in good health? I'm worried that he will suffer. That's my fault."
Mrs. Lu laughed out loud: "No, no. Your aunt said that he is full of energy every day. Because of the funding you provided, everyone in our clan now asks him about any issues. He is more prestigious than when he was the village party secretary."
People will be more energetic when they have something to do, and Uncle Lu is used to commanding others. Now all matters of the clan are asked to make decisions by him, which is more effective than taking any medicine.
At this point, Second Sister Lu told her another thing: "The last time I saw Sister-in-law, she said that the clan wanted to repair the ancestral hall. Now that everyone knows that you are rich, they will probably ask you to donate."
Lu Jiaxin was not interested in repairing the ancestral hall: "No money."
Mrs. Lu hummed and said, "We don't want to donate. The family tree only records the names of the male members, and the girl doesn't even have her full name. Why donate money to repair it? If you want to repair it, let the male members of the family raise money to repair it themselves."
"By the way, my elder brother wanted to talk to you about sponsoring poor students. He left me his phone number and told me to call him when you come back from your study tour."
After writing down the phone number, Lu Jiaxin asked about Xiaoqiu again. Hearing that she had cheered up, Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't always tell Xiaoqiu to marry a good family. She is still young, and she should learn more at this age. It's not too late to get married when she is twenty-four or twenty-five."
Many girls in the city get married at the age of 23 or 24, which is later than those in the countryside. After two years in the city, Lu Ersao's thoughts have changed: "I tell her the same thing now. There is no rush to find a partner. Make money first."
Lu Jiaxin joked, "Yes, make some money first. In the future, when you have a house and a shop, it will be no problem to recruit a son-in-law. You won't need to worry about being harassed by your in-laws after you get married."
Mrs. Lu was startled. Because she had three sons, she had never thought of letting Xiaoqiu marry a son-in-law. But if this girl wants to get married, she will suffer some grievances in her husband's family. If she marries a son-in-law and lives with them, she won't be afraid. But she just thought about it in her heart and didn't say it out loud.
Then, Lu Jiaxin called Lu Jiaguang. Because she was calling a small external department, she had to wait ten minutes before calling again after telling him who she was looking for.
When the call was connected, Lu Jiaguang asked her what she had gained from this study tour.
Lu Jiaxin was too lazy to lie, so she just said that she was just going to look around and gain some knowledge. She couldn't tell what she had learned for a while: "Brother, what's the matter with you asking me to call you back?"
Lu Jiaguang talked about the clan's desire to build an ancestral hall. In the past, the four olds had to be destroyed to achieve feudal thinking, but now that the policy has been relaxed, many things are gradually recovering.
Lu Jiaxin refused outright: "People in my hometown always say that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. If you want to repair the ancestral hall, look for a male member of the clan. Don't look for me, who is not even on the family tree and is like spilled water."
Lu Jiaguang was a little surprised and said, "Who said your name is not in the family tree? My father wrote your name down when you were six years old."
The reason why it is six years old is because the medical conditions are relatively poor and the child mortality rate is relatively high, so the child can be independent at the age of six.
"Are these three words Lu Jiaxin recorded in the family tree?"
This stumped Lu Jiaguang, as he had never seen the family tree and didn't know. Lu Jiaguang thought it was no big deal and said, "If it's not recorded, let my father add it later."
Lu Jiaguang heard her bad tone and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Jiaxin said, "Last time I went to Rong County to relocate graves, I donated one million yuan to them to build roads, on the condition that the Ding family would not come to stop me. But when I was moving the graves, Ding Tangping still came and threatened to die to force me to give him 30,000 yuan. The funny thing is that the leaders who went with me and their team leaders and party secretaries were all trying to smooth things over and wanted me to pay for it."
"I am rich, but I am not a sucker. This time the clan wants me to pay for the repair of the ancestral hall. If I pay, it won't be long before someone else comes out and asks me to pay for the road repair."
Lu Jiaxin said: "I support those children. Not all of them, but at least most of them will be grateful to me. But if I donate money to build roads, I guess they will think that there is such a sucker. I will look for her next time if I have something to do."
Lu Jiaguang was silent for a moment and then said, "Someone from my hometown approached me and asked me to donate money to build a road, but I refused."
Sure enough, this is human nature.
With the lesson learned from the last time, Lu Jiaxin said, "Brother, I will only support children who have dropped out of school and help orphans in the future. For major issues related to people's livelihood such as donating money for road construction, it is better to ask the government!"
Lu Jiaguang hummed and said, "It's not easy for you to make money, so don't donate anymore. I'll take care of the clan, you don't have to worry about it."
Lu Jiaxin felt better now, at least her eldest brother didn't think that she was wrong.
Lu Jiaguang said again: "Jiaxin, if the news of you supporting the children in your clan to go to school spreads, the branches of the Lu family will come to you and also want their children to get financial support. What do you think about this?"
Lu Jiaxin is prepared to continue supporting poor children: "As long as they meet the requirements."
"good."
Lu Jiaguang also said that Lu Jiajie partnered with someone to do border trade business: "He partnered with a man named Leng. He bought the goods, and Leng was responsible for selling the goods to the Russians' territory. If they made a profit, they would split it in half. This business is relatively risky, but it also makes a lot of money."
"High risk brings high profit. It's okay. Fifth Brother won't go there. Even if the business fails, it's just a loss of some money."
“I’m afraid the other party can’t be trusted.
"If the other party is unreliable, it's because Fifth Brother didn't judge him well. No one else can be blamed."
Lu Jiaguang originally wanted her to persuade him, but after hearing this he knew it was impossible.
Lu Jiaxin knew that he was influenced by his uncle and thought that he should take good care of his younger brothers and sisters: "Brother, Fifth Brother is not a three-year-old child. He is almost thirty and knows what he is doing."
Lu Jiaguang knew what he meant and told him not to worry about it, otherwise it would be a thankless task. But he really didn't think this matter would work, but unfortunately Lao Wu was in such a bad mood that it was useless to say anything. He would persuade him when he found a suitable opportunity!
