“Wife, you can donate as much as you want. I’ll support you.”
“Hengyang, you’re the best,” Su Wen nodded with a sincere smile, genuinely praising him.
Zhou Hengyang smiled and said nothing. If his wife said he was the best, then he was.
“Wenwen, what do you think?” After everyone had expressed their opinions, the village chief finally turned to Su Wen. Initially, he planned to ask Zhou Hengyang, but considering Zhou Hengyang was a live-in son-in-law and not the head of the family, he decided to consult Su Wen on the matter.
The one in charge was still Su Wen.
Everyone looked at Su Wen expectantly. Knowing that Su Wen’s family had come into wealth, and Zhou Hengyang drove a car back from the province, despite Su Wen’s explanation that it was borrowed from a friend, envy lingered.
Su Wen contemplated. Accustomed to making her own decisions on significant matters, she didn’t consult her family members like other daughters-in-law or instinctively look at her husband.
Instead, she started to think.
However, in everyone’s eyes, the belief that the live-in son-in-law was not in charge became more evident. Zhou Hengyang had no standing in the family. It wasn’t easy being a backdoor entrant!
So, sympathetic glances were cast at Zhou Hengyang. He smiled, accepting everyone’s sympathy openly without a word. He didn’t even entertain the thought of explaining. Instead, he tacitly agreed with everyone’s affirmation.
“How about this? Although Hengyang has earned some money in the province, you all know that I have seven sisters. Schooling and marriage require funds. Honestly, the monthly living expenses for seven or eight people are higher than usual. Cooking a big pot every day becomes a necessity.”
Su Wen quickly thought about it. Despite the current favourable conditions allowing her to support her family, ostentation wasn’t wise. It’s essential to appear modest when it’s necessary to be humble and low-key when the situation calls for it. This was a sentiment shared by many ordinary people, and Su Wen was no exception. It’s better to speak the unpleasant truth upfront, making subsequent actions smoother, rather than flaunting wealth. She had heard too many stories of kindness and hatred conflicting, and she also had doubts about Chen Guihua’s character.
Naturally, she didn’t want to feed Chen Guihua’s appetite, letting her believe she could reap without sowing. What Chen Guihua needed most was to stand up and work hard, others could only offer temporary assistance.
Therefore, Su Wen agreed with the villagers’ donations. The performance of the village officials surprised her; she did not expect Li Youcai to be so kind.
Su Wen was sincere, and everyone nodded in agreement.
There were quite a few individuals in every household, but in most families, the members were adults, whereas Su Wen’s family comprised mostly children. Without labour, it was a time of expenditure. Most families would have withdrawn their children from school long ago, but Su Xuewen had insisted that their children receive an education.
Everyone was aware of this.
“We know about it, Wenwen.”
“That’s right. Fifth Sister is going to university soon. It’s also a big expense.”
Su Wen smiled. She had played her part dramatically just now. Fearful of overacting, she hastened to add, “Since the brigade and everyone have donated a lot of things—food, accommodation—all I can do as Zhuang Zhuang’s cousin is to support his studies. I, Su Wen, solemnly promise that I will cover his books, tuition, and miscellaneous fees until Zhuangzhuang finishes his education.”
“As long as Zhuang Zhuang has the ability, I’ll support him until he graduates and enters society.” Su Wen said.
