"Oh, okay, what do you want to talk about, uncle and aunt?" I didn't know what to say.
Jiang He: "How old are you this year? What's your name? Where do you go to school? How are your grades?"
"My name is Jiang Sanlang, I'm 16 years old..."
…
Jiang Shushu added some more food and drinks while they were chatting.
After the food came up, Jiang Shushu looked at Jiang Sanlang and said, "Let's eat and talk at the same time."
"No, no, you guys eat. I'm not hungry. I just want to chat with my uncle and aunt." Although Jiang Sanlang wanted to eat very much, he still restrained himself.
"Eat something even if you're not hungry. Don't be polite to me. I'm happy for you to chat with my parents."
"Okay, thank you, sister."
Jiang Sanlang picked up the French fries and took a bite, the taste lingered on his lips and teeth. Then he picked up a piece of fried chicken, which was even more delicious. Jiang Sanlang felt that today was his lucky day and he was particularly happy.
Oh my god, this is the taste of French fries and fried chicken nuggets. It’s so fragrant and delicious. Just as others said, French fries and fried chicken nuggets are really delicious. They are truly delicacies on earth.
This fried chicken and milk tea shop was opened a year and a half ago and is especially popular among young people. The three Jiang brothers have never been to this place because their family has no money. Every time they pass by, they can only look at it with envy.
This time, Jiang Sanlang made 100 yuan, so he took out two yuan to buy a cup of the legendary milk tea, intending to let himself and his family know what milk tea tasted like. He planned to share a cup of milk tea with his family of five, and each person would have a drink.
Seeing that they were getting to know each other well, Jiang Shushu asked about Jiang Sanlang's mother's illness.
"My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer three years ago. We spent all our family's money before she had the surgery. The doctor originally said that as long as there was no recurrence within five years, she would be completely cured. After the operation, I didn't dare let her work hard and tried to let her rest every day, hoping that the five-year dangerous period would be over. I didn't expect that the disease would relapse in less than three years and she would have to have another operation." Jiang Sanlang couldn't help but tear up when he mentioned his mother. He hated why God picked someone to torture?
"I just heard the people at the next table say that you three brothers are going to choose two to work. It's a shame since you have such good grades."
"Can you save my mom? It's not a pity at all. All roads lead to Rome, and studying is not the only way. If we watch our mom die for the sake of studying, then we three brothers will regret it for the rest of our lives." In order to reduce the burden on the family, my dad works two jobs a day. We can't let our mom and dad die because of studying.
If the tuition for this semester had not been paid and could not be refunded, and if the three of us brothers were not still a few months away from turning 16, two of us would definitely have gone out to work by now.
"It's true that there's more than one option, but studying gives you another. You're very filial, and I really appreciate that. How much did your mother's surgery cost? If this is true, I can help with both her surgery and hospitalization."
Jiang Sanlang opened his eyes wide, his expression was one of surprise, joy, and disbelief. "Sister, you, what did you say? Is it what I think you mean?"
"That's what you think it means. Free funding. I think you and I are compatible. I'm a Buddhist and I always do two good things a month. And today is your turn? You brothers have such good grades. Study hard and serve the motherland after you graduate. Don't waste your talent for studying."
"Thank you, sister. I'll write you an IOU. When I grow up and make money, my brother and I will definitely pay you back double."
"No need, just study hard. If you really want to thank me, when you make money in the future, do more good things within your ability to help others. I believe in Buddhism and believe that good will be rewarded and evil will be punished." If the people I help do good things, then the merits have nothing to do with me, right?
Jiang Shushu traveled to this place because of the judge, so he naturally believed in ghosts and gods, and believed that doing good deeds could accumulate merit. Therefore, Jiang Shushu often did good deeds within his ability.
Donate some clothes and school supplies to remote mountainous areas, donate money and supplies to orphanages...
After the government established a charitable foundation a few years ago, Jiang Shushu donated one-third of the annual dividends from his real estate company to the charitable foundation in his own name or that of his family, so that they could use the money to build Hope Primary Schools, so that more children in remote mountain villages could go to school and have the opportunity to leave the mountains, instead of being illiterate.
"Thank you, sister. Thank you, uncle and auntie. Sister, don't worry. The three of us brothers must study hard. When we start working and can make money, we will definitely help those in need."
"Is your mother in the hospital now?"
"No, my mom is at home. She didn't want to burden us and refused to go to the hospital. My dad begged her for a long time before she agreed to go to the hospital, but the handling fee is not enough yet, so my mom is at home."
"So your mother is going to the same hospital as last time? Is there a case for her?"
"Yes, I have. I checked it last month."
"Then go home and give me your mother's medical records. I'll wait for you here. After I confirm that the records are authentic, you can send your mother to the hospital. If the doctor confirms that your mother's illness is real, I will cover the hospitalization fees and handling fees.
Don't blame me for being strict. I do like to help others, but it also depends on whether the person is worthy of it. I help people in times of emergency, not in poverty."
As long as you have good character, as long as I encounter difficulties caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, as long as it is within my ability and as long as it does not cause me trouble, I can help.
But if you are poor because of laziness, you have to bear the consequences yourself. Who can you blame for not working hard? You deserve the suffering and hardship you endure.
"Thank you, sister. I'll go home and get my medical records right away. It'll be quick. Just give me 20 minutes, just 20 minutes."
Jiang Sanlang ran out of the door like a gust of wind and rushed home at the fastest speed in his life.
Jiang Sanlang panted heavily and banged on the door. "Bang, bang, bang..."
Jiang Dalang: "Who is it? You broke my door, I want you to pay for it."
"Hoo...Hoo...Brother, it's me...open the door."
Jiang Dalang immediately opened the door: "Old Third, why are you so out of breath? Didn't you buy milk tea? Where's the milk tea? Did something happen to you?"
"Don't worry about anything. Hurry up and find Mom's medical records. I need to catch my breath for a while. Huh...huh..."
"Wait a moment, I'll go find it right away."
Jiang Erlang: "Old Third, sit down and take a break."
"Brother, go find Dad... and bring him back. The sister who bought our seats today... wants to help... with Mom's medical treatment. Ask Dad to come back and take Mom... to the hospital. This kind sister will go to the hospital to pay for the hospitalization and surgery."
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang both jumped up, "What?"
