Rebirth to 90s: Start from Scratch

Su Yuwei glanced at Zhang Qianxiu, and said, "Why donate a part of it and save some for auntie!"

Zhang Qianxiu thinks about it, and keeps a little with him. If there is an emergency in the future, he can also have money: "Auntie, look at this, you keep half of it and donate half of it, how about it?"

Zhuang Hongmei shook her head: "If Zhiwen really stayed, then donate all of it. If it's not his, you can take it away!"

Zhang Qianxiu was puzzled: "Kong Zhiwen left this to you. Why do you have to donate it?"

Zhuang Hongmei was silent for a while, choked and said, "I can't discredit their home."

"If you have money, it's slander?" Zhang Qianxiu couldn't understand the logic.

Zhuang Hongmei gave a wry smile and said, "Wait a moment."

After Zhuang Hongmei finished speaking, she turned around and went into the house. After a while, she held something about forty centimeters in width, one meter in length, and about ten centimeters in thickness. It was covered with cloth, and a delicate wooden box was placed on it. .

Zhuang Hongmei put the things down, removed the box, and took apart the cloth on the big thing. Inside was a well-made plaque with the four characters "House of Meritorious Service" written on it.

Zhuang Hongmei said: "This plaque was sent by the county leaders and hung at the gate of my house. I have always been proud of it because it was the life of three generations of the Confucian family."

Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei were silent.

Zhuang Hongmei opened the wooden box again. There were many sewn cloth bags in the wooden box. They opened them one by one, and they contained medals and certificates.

When Zhuang Hongmei spread these things out one by one and placed them on that plaque, half of the plaque was laid out. There were more than twenty medals.

Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei didn't recognize these medals, but they knew that by seeing the five-pointed star on them, each of these medals, without a certificate, was exchanged for countless sweat, blood, and even life.

Zhuang Hongmei looked at the medals and said with tears: "Zhiwen didn't leave a son and a half daughters. I want to keep these things. I don't know who they are. But as long as I'm still alive, I will give them to the Kong family and keep them safe. These... glory, what Zhiwen said, glory."

Zhang Qianxiu respects the three generations of the Confucian family and admires them, but he still doesn't understand what this has to do with donating money: "Auntie, these are worth inheriting and respecting, but it has nothing to do with money, right?"

Zhuang Hongmei was silent for a few seconds and said, "Yes... everyone else has to pay agricultural taxes. Taking into account my situation, the county has exempted my tax. Others have worked so hard to grow the fields for a year, and the family is not enough to eat. , I plant for one year, enough to eat for two years."

"The county pays me back every year. They built this house for me. I didn't pay a cent."

"I don't actually lack money. I can give some to my parents every year to subsidize them."

"But I'm the only one in the family. The widow has a lot of rights and wrongs in front of me, and many people are jealous of me. Whenever I get better, someone will chew my tongue behind and say how I am."

"If I suddenly had so much money, wearing gold and silver, those people would still be wondering what they would say behind their backs."

"Now that the three of Zhiwen and his grandchildren are dead, no one dares to say that they are not. If the money is known, I am afraid that Zhiwen's reputation will be ruined!"

Although Zhuang Hongmei didn't say it directly, Zhang Qianxiu probably understood that it was the rumors of those outside that made Zhuang Hongmei afraid to collect the money.

This made Zhang Qianxiu a little angry.

"These people are too much!" Su Yuwei, who was rarely angry, spoke with a bit of anger.

Zhang Qianxiu didn't say a word. He used to think that the long-tongued women in the village didn't care, but after his sister's affairs, he knew how deadly such rumors were to those who care about fame.

Zhuang Hongmei sighed and said: "I also said that the leaders of County H said that the leaders of the county are kind and caring for me. The leaders at all levels are very good, but they can't stop the people in the village!"

"Moreover, I don't have to worry about food or clothes, and I have a place to live. It's useless to ask for so much money.

Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei were both silent at once.

This matter is really hard to handle.

"Donate all to the county!" Zhuang Hongmei said again.

Zhang Qianxiu thought for a while and said, "Don't donate to the county, set up a charity foundation!"

"What is that?" Zhuang Hongmei was puzzled.

Su Yuwei also didn't quite understand that such institutions are not yet common in China. After all, there are not many rich people, and no one donates money.

Zhang Qianxiu explained: "It's just for doing good things. For example, if someone is poor and doesn't have money for children to study, the money can be used to study for the children; those widows and elderly people who don’t have enough to eat and don’t warm up, buy rice and clothes ."

"But the foundation is not that simple to do, it must have a source of funds."

"Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, you can still use it all day."

Zhuang Hongmei said: "I don't understand this, but it sounds very good. If I can do it, I have no opinion."

Su Yuwei also said: "If Auntie doesn't want it, you can use it."

"Auntie, how about it! Let us start the name of this foundation directly, and call it the Kong Family Charity Foundation, or the Kong's Charity Foundation." Zhang Qianxiu explained: "You can't do it anymore. Unsung heroes, we don’t make it too complicated for the foundation. I will run all the procedures. We can deposit the money in the bank. Now the annual interest rate of the bank is about 13% to 15%. There is only 13 thousand in interest. There is no problem with 60,000 to 70,000 a year here."

"We have not moved the principal. We only use the interest to do something. We will do as much as we have."

"Auntie, you are in the village. Recommend some people who are in difficulty to come out. The foundation will provide for their children to study, including tuition, tuition and miscellaneous fees, and they will solve the meal by themselves. The money is not directly given to them. We directly connect with the school."

"When you talk to them, you say that you can only recommend and can't make a decision. Otherwise, some people have to make an inch. If they take advantage, they will have to remember you."

"The foundation announced to the public that it is the money you donated, aunt, who is looking for someone to act as an honorary chairman. No matter what, you donate all the money. You can't control it in the future. As for the specific amount of money. Don't talk about it, lest the ignorant people guess."

Zhang Qianxiu considered so much, but just wanted to make the last bit of fame for Kong Zhiwen's family.

Zhuang Hongmei naturally didn't have any comments: "Yes! Yes! Then I won't handle these things, so I will trouble you."

Zhuang Hongmei believes that Zhang Qianxiu's reason is simple.

The money is in Zhang Qianxiu's hands. If Zhang Qianxiu does not come, she will never know the existence of this money. But if Zhang Qianxiu comes, it means that Zhang Qianxiu will not touch the crooked thoughts of the money. This is only very simple. The truth.

Zhang Qianxiu nodded: "It's no trouble, these things are actually easy for us to do."

After chatting for a while, Zhuang Hongmei went out to cook.

Not to mention, Zhang Qianxiu and Su Yuwei both felt hungry and were not polite.

"Auntie, then I will trouble you." Zhang Qianxiu said politely.

"What is hard work, I don't have anything to entertain you." Zhuang Hongmei said and put away all those things, and then took away the box in the bag with the money, but the money did not move.

Watching Zhuang Hongmei go busy, Zhang Qianxiu sighed and said, "I don't want to see so much money. This kind of character can't be done by ordinary people."

"Are you complimenting yourself?" Su Yuwei asked with a smile.

Zhang Qianxiu was taken aback, then smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "I am different. I can't get the money. If I were in the position of Aunt Zhuang, I might not be like him."

Zhang Qianxiu was actually very clear in his heart that the biggest reason he could not be tempted by the money was that he had the confidence to make more.

If you are just an ordinary person and earn more than tens of hundreds of dollars a month, you will definitely not be able to refuse such a big temptation.

Just like an ordinary person, can he refuse the five million grand prize?

Su Yuwei also smiled softly: "Now you have found another job for yourself, the foundation, although the work is not difficult, but it takes time to do it."

"These are all trivial matters. Just give the money on time." Zhang Qianxiu said.

"What you said is simple. It will take a long time for you to come from TJ County. If all the people funded by your foundation are here, I see what you will do then." Su Yuwei said.

Zhang Qianxiu thought about it, as if it was really the case, and then said: "When it's a big deal, please ask someone to help!"

Just as the two people were talking, a voice came from outside: "Sister-in-law, are you at home?"

Hearing someone coming, Zhang Qianxiu hurriedly closed the zipper of the bag, and then put the bag next to him so that the money would not be seen.
