Song Zhi's words plunged the entire living room into silence. Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing also stopped eating and looked at her and Ran Qiu.
Ran Qiu didn't speak for a long time, but his deep black eyes were looking at Song Zhi, trying to see through her.
"If you agree, I can sponsor them to go to school now. There is no other reason except that I like them very much and I can't bear to see them suffer all the time. Just consider it as a good relationship." Song Zhi added in a low voice with a sincere tone.
Ran Qiu tightened his grip on the chopsticks, his fingertips turning slightly white from exerting too much force, but his eyes became even darker than before.
Although Song Zhi's words moved him, he would not accept the reward without doing anything.
"No, thank you for your kindness."
After a while, he refused in a low voice.
"Do I really intend to sponsor them? Don't you want to see them go to school like everyone else?"
Song Zhi became a little anxious for a moment and spoke again.
She thought Ran Qiu might refuse, but she didn't expect him to refuse so straightforwardly.
Ran Qiu pursed her lips and said nothing.
How could he not want to see Dabao and the others grow up healthily in school like other children, but he was afraid that Song Zhi was just acting on a whim.
For people walking in the dark, a little kindness is a life-saving straw for them, but what if this straw is suddenly pulled away?
What about those who are grasping at straws and trying to see it survive?
Song Zhi is an educated youth and will leave sooner or later.
After she left, he could not afford the tuition of three children by himself.
Having hope and then having it disappear is far more despairing than having no hope at all.
When the three little guys heard that they could go to school, their eyes lit up instantly and they looked at Ran Qiu expectantly.
The eldest sister said that as long as Brother Qiu agreed, they could go to school.
Erchun and his friends are studying in school, and they have always been looking forward to going to school.
Their expectant eyes made Ran Qiu feel uneasy. His face turned ugly, and he moved his lips, but finally he suppressed his voice and refused.
"No."
When the three little guys heard this, the light in their eyes dimmed, but they didn't complain at all and just continued to eat obediently.
Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing looked at the calm Ran Qiu in surprise, not quite understanding why he would give up such a good opportunity.
Song Zhi was not very surprised. She knew that Ran Qiu was a suspicious person. Even if she was sincere, he would probably have doubts about her in his heart.
She sighed silently, still feeling a little lonely.
After spending some time together, she really cared about the three children and wanted to completely change their tragic fate.
But if Ran Qiu disagrees, she can't interfere.
After everyone stopped eating, the three little guys sensibly and efficiently cleared the dishes on the table, and the three of them stood in the small sink to wash the dishes.
Song Zhi and the others wanted to help, but Ran Qiu stopped them and refused to let them do anything.
In order not to get in the way, they had to go back to their room.
Not long after Song Zhi returned to the room, Nie Jinmei came over.
"Why do you suddenly want to sponsor those three children to go to school?" Nie Jinmei couldn't help but ask as soon as she entered the door.
Song Zhi pondered for a moment before explaining, "The villagers look down on them and frame them at will because they didn't receive a good education and had gone astray."
Having said that, she paused, sighed, and continued, "Ran Qiu treats them very well, but their conditions are too poor. They and I are also destined to be together, so I want them to have a different future."
At least don't become a gangster with heinous crimes like in your previous life.
Hearing this, Nie Jinmei's expression was very moved. She sat next to Song Zhi and spoke to her heart to heart.
"In fact, during the past two years that I've been working in the countryside, I've been thinking about the significance of my going there."
She paused, looking out the window at the desolate courtyard, and continued, "My family is well-off, and I've never had to worry about food or clothing since I was a child. I thought everyone was the same. It wasn't until I went to the countryside and saw how the villagers lived that I realized there were people who couldn't even afford to eat."
She spoke in a low voice.
Hearing this, Song Zhi was silent for a long time. Nie Jinmei's words made her feel the same way.
Her family was well-off, and even in her previous life, although she was sent to a mental hospital, she never suffered too much.
It was not until I went to the countryside that I realized that some people in this world really struggle for a living.
What's more, she knew the fate of Ran Qiu and the other four. Now that she had the opportunity to help them, of course she would lend a hand.
"If you sponsor them to go to school, please include me in the list. I also want to do something meaningful." Nie Jinmei took Song Zhi's arm and made up her mind.
"Okay." Song Zhi nodded and agreed directly.
It is indeed a bit difficult for her to sponsor her three children to go to school. After all, the money she brought with her has basically been spent. It is certainly a good thing that there is someone who can share the burden with her.
"That's settled." Nie Jinmei raised her eyebrows happily.
After saying that, she began to worry again.
“I don’t know how much it costs to go to primary school here.”
She frowned in confusion. The educated youth dormitory was damaged this time and she didn't have time to take out the money, so some of the bills could not be used.
"No, I have to find time to send a telegram to my father and ask him to send me some more money."
"It shouldn't take much." Song Zhi looked at her anxious expression and comforted her helplessly.
At this moment, on the other side, Yin Ran was furious all the way because Tang Junhe agreed to let Song Zhi live in Ran Qiu's house.
