When Bai Zhilan finished the call, the staff had finished their breakfast and were squatting in the yard outside washing dishes. The director took a piece of dry bread and dipped it into the sauce in the basin, eating until his mouth was full of oil. Several directors looked at the scene with envy and opened a few bags of bread. They gathered around the basin and dipped their hands in the gravy, just like a group of beggars.
Bai Zhilan curled her lips in disdain, but when she smelled the aroma of the chicken porridge in the casserole, she couldn't help swallowing hard. Bai Pengfei said that her mother was good for nothing and could do nothing except planting flowers and digging the land. However, the reality is that her mother is good-looking, has a good temperament, is a good cook, has good medical skills, and is good in almost every way.
She was lost in thought when Lin Dan scooped the porridge into the bowl and said softly, "Come and have breakfast."
Bai Zhilan was shocked and hurried over to cool the boiling porridge. She took a sip slowly and said in amazement: "It's so delicious!"
"Drink slowly, be careful of the heat." Lin Dan also scooped a bowl of porridge and drank it slowly.
"I'm sorry." Bai Zhilan said without any context.
"What's wrong?" Lin Dan tilted his head to look at her.
"That day, I shouldn't have blamed you for prescribing medicine for other people's children. You are a very good doctor, and I misunderstood you." Bai Zhilan's cheeks flushed.
"No need to say sorry. I know you are worried about me." Lin Dan was not used to sentimentality and ended the topic briefly.
Bai Zhilan touched her face covered with medicine and continued, "I gave your medicine to my good friend. She also had an allergic reaction and her face was swollen. Is it okay?"
"No problem, there's some in the pharmacy. I'll get it for you later." Lin Dan wiped her mouth with a clean white handkerchief and said gently, "The medicine can reduce inflammation, remove spots, desensitize, relieve itching, moisturize and promote epidermal growth. It can treat common allergies or dermatitis. But allergies are also related to endocrine system. Applying ointment can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. If your friend has time, it's better to come over and let me take a look. I'll prescribe some endocrine regulating medicine for her to completely change her allergic constitution."
"Can allergies be cured completely?" Bai Zhilan was surprised.
"sure."
"Then I'll ask her to come over another day." As soon as Bai Zhilan finished speaking, the live broadcast room was filled with fireworks. Someone was continuously giving her gifts.
[This is a rich man, 999 sets of nuclear submarines, a gift of more than 60,000 in one go! 】
Who is this 'Blue Water'? Bai Zhilan’s financial sponsor? 】
[Our Lanlan is fair, rich and beautiful, there is no need to look for a sponsor! 】
[What white, rich and beautiful woman? Mr. Bai doesn’t even acknowledge her! 】
[Kibito, get out of here!] 】
The live broadcast room was noisy and there was never a moment of silence. One moment, Bai Zhilan's bare face caused controversy, the next moment, Lin Dan's cooking and medical skills caused controversy, and then Bai Zhu's fans came in to start a fight, and the heat never subsided.
Bai Zhilan turned off her cell phone after answering the call, completely ignoring the ups and downs on the Internet. She just wanted to spend a few days quietly with her mother. She ate her porridge while trying to find a topic to talk about: "You never charge for treating the patients here?"
"There are medicinal herbs everywhere in the mountains. It doesn't cost me anything to treat them, so why should I charge you?" Lin Dan said nonchalantly.
"That Xiaona, is her family really that poor?"
"Well, she and her grandmother depend on each other for survival, and their life is very hard."
"How about we sponsor her?" Bai Zhilan's eyes lit up.
"No need." Lin Dan waved his hand to refuse.
Bai Zhilan was stunned for a long time before asking, "Why? She and her grandmother have such a hard life, they really need help from others, right?" She thought that her mother would agree as soon as she said that. Doing charity is the quickest way for celebrities to establish a positive image. Any celebrity above the third-tier will donate a large amount of money to charity every year. The mother is well-educated and has a broad vision, so she should have thought of these things. But she refused in front of the camera. Isn’t she afraid of being criticized?
Thinking of this, Bai Zhilan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Sure enough, the audience in the live broadcast room criticized Lin Dan: [Why don’t you provide funding? Before, you said that you would treat illnesses for free, but was that all just a show? ! When people really need help, you refuse them. How hypocritical! 】
[Bai Zhilan earns tens of millions a year. Is it difficult for her to use a few thousand yuan to sponsor a little girl's education? 】
[She is indeed a village woman, petty-minded! 】
Lin Dan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said slowly: "Do you know Xiaona's specific situation?"
Bai Zhilan shook her head, "I don't know."
"When she was five or six years old, her parents died in a car accident. Her grandmother raised her alone and never let her down. When she was old enough to go to school, her grandmother sold everything she had to send her to school. She was also very hardworking. From elementary school to high school, she was always the top student in her class. In her spare time, she did odd jobs for the villagers to earn a little living. Whether it was farming or threshing, she worked quickly and efficiently. She was the most capable girl in the village. Once, she ranked second in the final exam. She cried all the way back to the village from the town. Her grandmother was scared and thought she didn't do well in the exam. When she asked, she found out that she ranked second in the whole grade. It was really funny at that time."
Lin Dan put down the bowl and stared into her daughter's eyes. "Her grandmother comforted her and said that second place was also good and she didn't need to be sad. But she said: Grandma, second place means I won't get a full scholarship. How long will it take you to work in the fields to earn back these few hundred yuan? You are old and I don't want you to work hard. You see, she is such a child. She can be self-reliant without help from others and study hard without supervision from others. She strides forward on the road of life, so firm, steady and brave. But suddenly, someone appeared, held her hand firmly and said: Don't work hard, let me help you. Do you think this is really good for her?"
Bai Zhilan was stunned. She never expected that such a simple thing could contain so many truths.
Lin Dan continued, "She has the courage and ability to face life, but you stood up, blocked her way and said, 'Child, don't walk alone, it's too hard, come on, I'll carry you, I'm strong and can take you a way.' Do you think this is necessary? Yes, you did help her, but you also destroyed her most essential strength from the soul. She is still young and has unlimited possibilities in the future. If she can walk steadily, let her go by herself. We, the irrelevant people, can only help her when she falls, so that she doesn't fall too hard. So no matter how hard it is for her, I never said anything about supporting her, because I know she doesn't need it. We villagers have already discussed it. As long as she is admitted to the university, we will definitely fund her to study and will not let her be overwhelmed by the tuition fees of several thousand yuan. What do you think she said after she knew it?"
Bai Zhilan asked blankly: "What did she say?"
"She said that the money was a loan from everyone. She wrote IOUs to each family and will pay us back with interest after graduation. Do you think someone like her needs extra sympathy and pity?"
Bai Zhilan put down the spoon, her face full of shame.
Lin Dan looked at her deeply and said earnestly, "Some people may seem weak, but they are actually strong. That is the power of the mind. I hope you can grow to that level. Don't mention supporting her. We are all in the village and will not let her fall. If you have extra clothes, stationery, nutritional supplements and the like in the future, you can send them to their home. Helping people also depends on the actual situation."
Bai Zhilan lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I took it for granted." It sounds good to say that the mind has become stronger, but can she do it?
The audience who had originally mocked Lin Dan for being hypocritical now all shut up, and the screen was filled with red hearts and exclamation marks.
[Bai Zhilan’s mother is really not a simple person.] 】
[Mother Bai's perspective on things is different from everyone else. If she hadn't said it, I would have taken it for granted that helping someone means giving her money, giving her things, and letting her live a peaceful life. But is our love really used in the right place? Otherwise, why would a tragedy like Cong Fei happen? Helping people also depends on the method. 】
[The little girl is great too! 】
[I am Li Xiaona’s schoolmate. When I heard that the production crew was coming to our place to record a program, I went into the live broadcast room every day to watch the fun. The tumor on her face is real, not glued on. Because of this, she was often bullied by her classmates. They called her ugly, excluded her, isolated her, and mocked her for being a garbage collector. Because she would pick up the mineral water bottles thrown away by her classmates every day and sell them for money. Only after watching this show did I realize how outstanding and brave she is. I cried when I saw it. I want to make friends with her! 】
Some viewers followed this comment to check the relevant accounts of this netizen, but found that she was not lying and she was really a resident of the small town. Does Li Xiaona need financial support? No need, because she can face the ups and downs of life on her own, she is stronger than many people.
Lin Dan originally wanted to motivate Bai Zhilan, but unexpectedly it caused heated discussions among netizens. What a coincidence, the theme of Bai Zhu and Liu Manni’s photo shoot today is charity. They bought a lot of supplies to send to an orphanage and also donated a large sum of money. The dean asked the children to wear new clothes, hold beautiful bouquets of flowers, and stand at the gate to greet the two.
Bai Zhu and Liu Manni waved as they walked, with a bright red carpet under their feet. Then they went up to the podium, held up a giant check for one million yuan, and took photos with the dean. Later they watched the children's performance.
There is no particular form for charity. As long as you give money and actually help those in need, it is good. However, after Lin Dan refused to sponsor Li Xiaona, the audience was not moved by their good deeds, but felt it was strange. The children greeted them in the rain holding flowers, performed on the stage with heavy makeup on, and were held in the arms of Bai Zhu and Liu Manni for photos. On the surface, they looked so happy and grateful, but their attitudes were humble. This kind of high-handed charity has a flavor of almsgiving and showmanship, and is far less warm and touching than the intimate understanding and mutual help.
One netizen said: [Bai Zhu's live broadcast room is full of dazzling flowers, but they are just beautiful to look at. If they were like Bai Zhilan's mother, with neither money nor power, would they still be able to keep their original intentions? Can we still maintain understanding and tolerance of human nature? Can the most sincere friendship between people still be maintained? If you ask me, it is even a question whether they have original intentions. I'm not anyone's fan, I'm just telling the truth. 】
As soon as this message came out, a viewer named "Lang" liked it and made nine consecutive maximum reward donations in Bai Zhilan's live broadcast room, totaling more than 600,000 yuan, shocking everyone.
