Su Qingmeng stood up to stop them, but the director of women's affairs spoke up, "Comrade Su, just let them express their gratitude. These children have received your kindness and are thinking of you."
She told Su Qingmeng about the situations of several people. In addition to Mi Laidi's daughter, there was a family with only a father with poor legs and feet, and the other family was also in financial difficulty.
The two older junior high school students had excellent grades, but their families favored boys over girls and did not want them to go to school. Even if they did not have to pay for school, it would interfere with their work. It was only after the village committee came to their homes to persuade them that their families agreed.
The oldest girl handed Su Qingmeng a few letters and said, "Thank you, Writer Su, these are the letters we wrote to you. Thank you very much." She said with a choked voice.
Su Qingmeng said, "Studying hard is the greatest reward you can give me. I won't preach, but there are few options for rural girls. Studying is your best chance."
"Even if your grades aren't good and you can't get into university, you should still try your best to study. Factories require junior high school graduates to recruit workers. Knowing how to read and write is also beneficial. If you're illiterate, no one will hire you."
Mi Xiaocao looked at Su Qingmeng's serious expression and made up her mind to study hard. Although she was only thirteen years old this year, she already knew that if she had no value, she would be sold in exchange for a betrothal gift. Only by getting into college or going out to work and leaving here could she get rid of her father and brothers.
The more knowledge she learns, the stronger her abilities will be in the future. When Mi Xiaocao accidentally saw Kang Kang, she was still very jealous of him, jealous that he had a powerful mother and a father who would not beat him.
When she was a child, she saw Kang Kang being taken to play by her parents. At that time, her mother had just abandoned her and returned to the city, and her father was angry with her. Mi Xiaocao had endless work to do every day and had no hope of going to school. However, she did not expect that it was Su Qingmeng who gave her the opportunity to go to school. Mi Xiaocao vowed to repay Su Qingmeng in the future. She was very grateful to her for giving her new hope.
The representative girl replied, "We understand. Thank you for your guidance," she blushed. "You are my idol. My dream is to become a writer."
"That's great, keep it up." Su Qingmeng encouraged.
She said, "I will sponsor your elementary and middle school tuition and textbook fees for free. As long as your grades are good, you can continue your studies."
"If someone gets into college but doesn't have the money to go, I can lend it to you. But you have to pay me back after you graduate. Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. You can pay me back when you have more money."
This was something Su Qingmeng and Lin Xiuyao had discussed. As the saying goes, a little kindness is repaid with a peck of rice. She didn't want to end up helping an ungrateful person. Now that she had graduated from high school, she could work and support herself. If she whetted the other person's appetite, wouldn't she lose more than she gained?
After hearing Su Qingmeng's last words, the expressions of several people were different, some were surprised, some were disappointed. As expected, human hearts are the most complicated. Su Qingmeng was not disappointed either. She just wanted to give girls who could not afford to go to school a chance. As for whether they could seize it, she didn't care.
After seeing off several people, Lin Baoguo said, "Now that compulsory education and family planning are universal, there are fewer people who can't afford to go to school. As long as you're not too poor, you can grit your teeth and support your children."
Especially in their village, there are several promising college students here. Who doesn’t have the dream of seeing their sons and daughters become successful?
Kang Kang read the story from beginning to end. He didn't expect that there were still people who couldn't afford to go to school, and some of his classmates didn't want to go. Kang Kang decided to cherish his study opportunity.
He pulled Su Qingmeng into the house, and Su Qingmeng asked, "What's wrong?"
Kang Kang said: "I can also donate my money to people who can't afford to go to school."
Su Qingmeng touched his head and said, "You are great, son. But no need. Mom's money is enough. I am very happy that you have this intention, but you must first be capable before you can help others." She did not want to raise her son to be a selfless person. She would rather her son be selfish than sacrifice himself for others.
Kang Kang nodded, "Mom, I will." He was already happier than many people, "I'm going to study."
Looking at her son who seemed to be full of energy, Su Qingmeng was satisfied. It seemed that this trip back to her hometown had helped Kang Kang grow a lot.
Lin Xiuyao discussed with his uncle: "I want to donate 100,000 yuan to the village to build a cement road."
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first. He made a lot of money in the past two years and wanted to give back to his hometown. Su Qingmeng didn't object, as it was common for rich people to do charity.
Lin Baoguo was surprised, "You are going to donate so much money to the village." One hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount.
Lin Xiuyao didn't say anything in front of his uncle. "I also want my hometown to develop well. 100,000 yuan is not a lot of money for me." Not to mention the returns from the stock market and real estate, his clothing company makes a profit of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan every month.
He calculated that if the government wanted to build roads in rural areas now, and the equipment could be loaned to them and the village could provide the manpower, 100,000 yuan would be enough.
Lin Baoguo: "You are promising, kid," he said with relief, "Xiu Yao, you don't forget your roots. Uncle is very happy."
The second son is gone, and Xiuyao is no different from his son. Lin Baoguo is very proud of him. "If you have made up your mind, let's go to the village committee."
Lin Baoguo brought Lin Xiuyao to the brigade headquarters. The current village chief also had the surname Lin and was a relative of Lin Xiuyao within the fifth degree of mourning. After they explained their purpose, everyone was overjoyed.
"Really?" They didn't expect that there would be a rich person in their village. They had only heard about wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong returning to the village to donate money, but they never thought that one day they would encounter such a good thing.
However, being able to build a road was a great thing, and they chatted with Lin Xiuyao enthusiastically. Accountant Lin felt complicated when he saw Lin Xiuyao being treated like a star.
He thought of his own daughters, both of whom were college students from Songjiang Village. Su Qingmeng sponsored students, and Lin Xiuyao donated money to build roads. The two of them were so successful that Lin Xiaoyuan looked mediocre. Although he didn't have too many requirements for his daughters, he couldn't help feeling unhappy at this time.
