Chapter 413 Rejection
When Sister-in-law Lu saw that Lu Jiaxin was silent, she thought she was considering donating the children from the next village. She really wanted to slap herself, but she said so quickly: "Jiaxin, there are so many people in the world who can read but can't read. You can't do it all." We have twenty-nine members of the Lu family. My father-in-law said that we need at least five to six thousand dollars every year. Your money doesn't just fall from the sky. It's enough to help other people's children. If you can't study, you can only blame your bad luck.”
Doing good deeds is not that easy. There is a singer she likes very much who donated all his wealth. When disaster strikes somewhere, she often rushes to the front line, and she is criticized by many trolls for this.
Lu Jiaxin did not continue this heavy topic: "Is uncle in good health? I'm worried that he will be affected. It's my fault."
Second Sister-in-law Lu laughed heartily: "No, no. Your eldest aunt said that he is in high spirits every day now. Because of the subsidy you got, everyone has to ask him about anything in our clan now, even more than when he was the village party secretary. prestige."
People are energetic when they have something to do, and Uncle Lu is used to giving orders to others. Now we ask him to make decisions on all matters big and small within the clan, which is more effective than taking any medicine.
Speaking of which, Second Sister-in-law Lu told her one more thing: "Last time I saw Sister-in-law, she said that the clan wanted to repair the ancestral hall. Now that everyone knows you are rich, they will probably ask you to donate."
Lu Jiaxin is not interested in repairing the ancestral hall: "There is no money."
Second Sister-in-law Lu grunted and said, "Don't donate it. The man's name is recorded in the family tree, but the girl doesn't even have a full name. Why donate money to repair it? If you want to repair it, let the men in the clan raise the money themselves. build."
"By the way, elder brother wants to tell you about supporting poor students. He left a phone number with me and said that you would give her a call 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 that she will marry a good family. She is still young. She should learn more at this age and wait until she is twenty-four or five to get married. It's not too late.”
Many girls in the city get married at the age of 23 or 4, which is later than those in the countryside. After staying in Sijiucheng for two years, Sister-in-law Lu's thoughts have also changed: "That's what I tell her now, don't worry about your partner, make money first."
Lu Jiaxin joked: "Yes, let's make good money first. In the future, if we have a house and a shop, it will be no problem to recruit a wife. There is no need to worry about getting married and being made trouble by the husband's family."
Sao-in-law Lu was startled. Because she has three sons, she never thought about letting Xiaoqiu have a wife. But if this girl wants to get married, she will have to suffer some injustice when she goes to her husband's family, so she doesn't have to worry about recruiting a bride to live with them. But I just thought about it in my mind and didn't say it out loud.
Subsequently, Lu Jiaxin called Lu Jiaguang. Because the call was from a small outside area, after telling the person you were looking for, you had to wait ten minutes before dialing again.
When the phone was connected, Lu Jiaguang asked her what she gained from this study tour.
Lu Jiaxin was too lazy to lie. She simply said that she just went around to see and gain knowledge. She couldn't tell you exactly what she learned for a while: “Brother, what's the matter with asking me to call you back?”
Lu Jiaguang talked about the clan's desire to build an ancestral hall. In the past, it was necessary to destroy the four olds and achieve feudal thinking. Now the policy is liberalizing and many things are gradually recovering.
Lu Jiaxin flatly refused: "People in my hometown keep saying that their married daughters are throwing water away. They want to build an ancestral hall and find the men in the clan. Don't look for water thrown out by me because I haven't even written the family tree."
Lu Jiaguang was a little surprised and said: "Who said your name was not included in the family tree? When you were six years old, my father recorded your name."
The reason why it is six years old is because the medical conditions are poor and the child's mortality rate is relatively high. When he grows up to six years old, he can survive.
“Is the name Lu Jiaxin recorded in the genealogy?”
This confused Lu Jiaguang. He didn't know the genealogy before. Lu Jiaguang felt that this was not a big deal and said, "If you didn't remember it, let my dad add it when the time comes." Lu Jiaxin refused again: "Don't ask, I won't donate even if my name is on it. If you want to repair the ancestral hall, you should It's eldest brother and fifth brother, you guys, who pay for it.”
Lu Jiaguang heard her bad tone and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Jiaxin said: "Last time I went to Rong County to move the graves and donated 1 million to build roads for them, on the condition that the Ding family would not stop them. But when I was moving the graves, Ding Tangping came and threatened to kill me. I gave him 30,000 yuan. What's funny is that the leaders who followed him and the branch secretary wanted me to pay for it.”
"I am rich, but I am not taken advantage of. This time the clan wants me to pay for the repair of the ancestral hall. I will pay for it. It won't be long before someone comes forward and asks me to pay for the road construction."
Lu Jiaxin said: "If I support those children, not to mention everything, at least most of them will be grateful to me. But if they donate money to build roads, they will probably think of such a scapegoat, and they will come back to her next time if something happens."
Lu Jiaguang was silent for a moment and said: "Someone in our hometown came to me and asked you to donate money to build roads, but I refused."
Sure enough, this is human nature.
With the lesson learned last time, Lu Jiaxin said: "Brother, from now on I will only support out-of-school children and rescue orphans. For important matters related to people's livelihood, such as donating money to build roads, you should go to the government!"
Lu Jiaguang hummed and said: "It's not easy for you to make money, so don't donate anymore in the future. I will take care of it for the clan, so you don't have to worry about it."
Lu Jiaxin felt better now, at least her eldest brother didn't think she was wrong.
Lu Jiaguang said again: "Jiaxin, the news about you providing education for the children in the clan has spread. Branches of the Lu family have come to see them, and they also want their children to receive financial support. Do you think this is happening?"
Lu Jiaxin plans to continue supporting poor children: “As long as she meets the conditions.”
"good."
Lu Jiaguang also said that Lu Jiajie partnered with others to do border trade business: "He partnered with a man named Leng. He purchased the supply of goods, and Leng was responsible for selling the goods to Lao Maozi's territory, and he would split the profits in half. This business is relatively risky. But it also makes a lot of money.”
“High risks come with high profits. It's okay, but Fifth Brother can't get over it. Even if the business fails, it's just a loss of some money.”
“I'm afraid that the other party is unreliable.
"If the other party is unreliable, it's because Fifth Brother is not sure about people. No one can blame him."
Lu Jiaguang originally wanted her to persuade him, but when he heard this, he knew it was impossible.
Lu Jiaxin knew that he was influenced by his uncle and felt that he should take good care of his younger brothers and sisters: "Eldest brother, the fifth brother is not a three-year-old child. He is about to be thirty and knows what he is doing."
Lu Jiaguang knew what he meant and asked him not to be so lenient, otherwise it would be a thankless task. It's just that he really isn't optimistic about this matter. Unfortunately, Lao Wu is in charge now and it's useless no matter what he says. Please wait until you find the right opportunity!
