He Zhou just revealed his identity, threw a stack of cash, and didn't even have time to utter a threat before Gao Xiaoqin's gambling-addicted father eagerly signed the document.
His appearance was as if he was afraid that He Zhou would change his mind and he wouldn't be able to make this money, so he immediately took the money and fled.
During the weekend, He Zhou took the sisters Gao Xiaoqin for a big shopping trip in the urban area, and then took them back to the countryside to give them a proper identity and completely cut ties with their beastly father.
Qi Tongwei's hometown is a famous but poor and dilapidated village in the countryside, where not a single household has a red brick house, and no family owns a television set.
Therefore, when I saw He Zhou driving home in a small car and moving a big color TV into the house, I immediately felt extremely envious.
"Xiujie, you've finally made it through. From now on, all your days will be filled with enjoyment..."
Several women from the village, including Qi Tongwei's elderly mother, kept saying auspicious words. The villagers all knew that Qi Tongwei had become a high-ranking official and had recently made achievements, donating the bonus to the village to encourage the children to study hard.
"Mom, I'm back!" When He Zhou said this, his eyes almost instinctively welled up with tears, and a glimmer of tears gathered in his eyes.
In his memory, when he was in the sixth grade of elementary school, his father had an accident while working with the villagers to build a reservoir, and he was directly killed by a falling rock.
Since then, the mother and son have been dependent on each other. The half-grown kid is supported by his poor old man.
Mother worked day and night to support him with food, drink, and education, almost blinding herself from overwork. A few years ago, after the land was distributed to households, she had an accident at work and injured her leg.
Although not too serious, it has also left behind the roots of the illness. Every March, there is always a lingering chill and piercing pain.
" Tongwei, ah, you're back?"
In the midst of the conversation, a man with a weathered face and a hookah pipe in his hand squeezed through the crowd and said, "Eldest uncle?" He Zhou's memory was triggered, and he quickly took out some good cigarettes and alcohol to entertain him, "Just got back, eldest uncle, come to my house for dinner tonight."
This eldest uncle can be considered a benefactor in Qi Tongwei's life.
During the college entrance examination year, when his mother fell and injured her leg, this eldest uncle deliberately kept it a secret from him and provided money for his mother's treatment to prevent him from being distracted during the exam.
Later, the admission notice came down, and it was also this eldest uncle who took him, going door to door in the village, using his own reputation as a guarantee to borrow money from the villagers.
However, because he was the first college student in the village, the villagers basically didn't have any objections.
He didn't mention borrowing money at all, just took out his family savings and stuffed it into Qi Tongwei's hands.
He didn't mention any other conditions, just patted his shoulder and told him to study hard and try to see the outside world.
When watching the TV series initially, He Zhou didn't quite understand why Qi Tongwei took care of the villagers so much. But when he put himself in Qi Tongwei's shoes, he could deeply feel the villagers' heavy gratitude towards him.
Not to mention, the villagers saved money from their own mouths to pay for Qi Tongwei's tuition and living expenses while he was in college, even if it meant going hungry themselves and letting their children go hungry.
Moreover, the care from the villagers towards their family did not start purposefully when he was admitted to college, but rather from the time when he lost his father. Money, indeed, the villagers cannot come up with much.
But every now and then, the villagers would always give him an egg, a steamed bun, and the half-grown kids in the village would pick wild fruits on the mountain and specifically give him a handful of sweet wild fruits...
During the busy farming season, the villagers would also lend a hand to help his family with harvesting and drying crops.
In short, this heavy debt of gratitude is actually never fully repaid.
As for the situation depicted in women's novels, where a whole family is relentlessly bullied and schemed against by the villagers, it is almost impossible to exist unless one is too arrogant, too dramatic, and offends everyone, making oneself detested by all. Otherwise, it is simply impossible for the entire village to bully a whole family.
After greeting his eldest uncle, He Zhou turned to the other villagers and also gave out gifts one by one, instructing them to come and help prepare the seating arrangements, so they wouldn't have to go home and cook dinner in the evening.
This suggestion was unanimously accepted by everyone.
It's not entirely because everyone is greedy, but some of the elderly in the village consider He Zhou to be a big shot now, and according to the practices of the old feudal society, they would have to hold a three-day and three-night feast. Nowadays, although it's not that exaggerated, it's still necessary to invite the villagers to a meal.
For this, many people also plan to pool money or simply give some gifts.
Naturally, this was politely declined by He Zhou.
Everyone is living a hard life, asking them for money would be adding insult to injury.
"Hey, who are they?"
Qi Tongwei's mother, Li Xiugi, carefully scrutinized the two city-dressed, graceful and delicate young girls in front of her.
He Zhou took the opportunity to recount the experiences of the sisters Gao Xiaoqin, and immediately several sympathetic village women rubbed their eyes and wiped away tears, lamenting the sisters' unfortunate fate.
