The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Chapter 1173 Poverty Alleviation

Auntie said to Uncle, "Yingying got into university. Your sister came to tell us during the day that we should go to the banquet. What gifts should we bring?"

Their son, Liu Jiaheng, had just returned from outside carrying a hoe. The family had planted over ten acres of vegetables, and he was quite busy every day: "Yingying was admitted as the top scorer in the province, so ordinary gifts probably wouldn't be appropriate."

My second aunt looked over and asked, "Then what do you suggest we give her?"

Liu Jiaheng shook his head. As a farmer, he had no idea what kind of gift to give. He only knew that the gift should be given at the right time: "Ask Liu Chang. I'm not good at it either."

Auntie then asked, "When is Liu Chang coming back?"

Liu Jiaheng glanced in the direction of the village entrance: "In a little while, he said he'll come back to discuss the gift-giving with you."

The second great-uncle, who had been silent until now, said, "Liu Chang's lantern business has made so much money thanks to Shen Xuening, so we really can't give him a bad gift, or we'll feel embarrassed ourselves."

Liu Jiaheng nodded: "That's what we thought too, which is why we called Liu Chang back to discuss it together."

Just then, the sound of a car came from inside. Looking over, they saw that Liu Chang had returned.

Liu Chang parked the car in his yard and got out: "Oh? You're all here? Waiting for me?"

Liu Jiaheng, Liu Chang's father, said, "We're discussing giving Shen Yingying a gift. Do you have any good ideas?"

Unlike the others who were at a loss, Liu Chang smiled and said, "Just tell me what price range you want to send, and I'll arrange it."

Everyone looked at the second great-uncle, who thought for a moment and said, "It can't be less than ten thousand."

Liu Chang was quite surprised: "Grandpa, why are you being so generous this time?"

My second great-uncle is quite insightful: "Don't you even consider the situation? Shen Yingying not only did well on the exam, but we've also made so much money thanks to Shen Xuening. If we don't show our appreciation, what will we do if she stops helping us in the future?"

Liu Chang laughed and said, "Grandpa is very farsighted. Transfer the money to me and I'll go to the city to buy a gift right away."

My second great-uncle was speechless: "Can't you pay for it yourself?"

Liu Chang refused, after all, he had younger siblings at home, and he felt it would be too unfair for him to pay for it all by himself: "Then each of us will chip in some money."

"Never mind, I'll do it." The second great-uncle transferred 10,000 yuan to Liu Chang, "Buy the gift and show it to us."

"Got it." Liu Chang smiled and drove off again.

My second great-uncle muttered, "What a swindler! He's even swindling his own family. I'll have to give him a piece of my mind another day."

My second aunt suppressed a laugh and turned to get back to work. The old man usually wouldn't contribute any money, but now he was willing to take out 10,000 yuan, which shows he really values ​​this matter.

Not only them, but all the relatives who were notified by the Shen family were discussing giving gifts, and everyone took it very seriously.

……

On the village road.

Zhang Xiaomei's father, Zhang Da, called out to Shen Dong: "Shen San, did your second daughter really become the top scholar in the imperial examination?"

Shen Dong was delivering cabbages to the factory when he heard this and stopped. "Is this for real?" he continued. "Yingying's college entrance banquet is on July 1st. Your whole family should come to eat."

"Sure," Zhang readily agreed, then changed the subject, "Aren't you especially proud to have a daughter like this?"

Shen Dong's eyes gleamed with smugness, but remembering Liu Juan's earnest admonitions, he quickly suppressed it: "What do you think?"

Zhang laughed and said, "Of course! If I had a daughter like that, I'd be laughing in my sleep."

Shen Dong said, "Isn't your daughter good enough now?"

Zhang Dalian quickly replied, "Okay."

Shen Dong reminded her, "Your daughter can't hear what you just said, or she'll be heartbroken."

Zhang Da looked around and, seeing that no one was around, breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm telling you this, so you can't tell anyone, or I'll turn on you."

Shen Dong chuckled: "Then I have something on you now."

"Tch." Zhang Da and Shen Dong were childhood friends, growing up joking around together, so he didn't mind. "I won't bother you anymore, I'm going back now."

"Let's go." Shen Dong continued riding his tricycle forward.

Along the way, many people greeted Shen Dong, and the conversation was mostly about Shen Yingying's college entrance examination. Everyone's tone was full of envy.

Shen Dong has been beaming with joy lately. His two daughters have made him so proud, and he feels an indescribable happiness every time he thinks about them.

……

Shen Yingying called Tang Yi.

When Tang Yi saw Shen Yingying's call, he was so excited he almost dropped his phone. This was the first time Shen Yingying had ever called him. Overwhelmed with excitement, he quickly answered, "Yingying, you finally called me! Do you know how long I've been waiting?"

Ignoring Tang Yi's excitement, Shen Yingying went straight to the point: "You told my sister you wanted to intern at the company?"

Tang Yi straightened his expression and asked, "You know?"

Shen Yingying spoke seriously, without any intention of casual conversation: "My sister told me."

Tang Yi immediately asked, "Does your sister agree?"

Shen Yingying said directly, "My sister told me to decide."

Tang Yi's heart jumped instantly, like a prisoner awaiting sentencing, and he asked nervously, "So what's your decision?"

Shen Yingying paused for a second, then said very seriously, "If you really want to learn, then come. Don't come for me; it will waste your time, understand?"

Tang Yi perked up and said, "Yingying, let me put it this way: I went to talk to your sister about the internship partly for your sake, and partly to learn something. Actually, these two things don't conflict, don't you think?"

Shen Yingying did not choose to answer directly. She said, "Anyway, I have already said what I wanted to say. The choice is up to you."

Tang Yi said firmly, "I am prepared to stick to my current idea."

Shen Yingying knew that Tang Yi was also a very determined person. She had already said what she wanted to say, and Tang Yi would have to bear the consequences himself: "Okay, then I won't say any more."

Tang Yi was overjoyed: "Yingying, you agreed."

Shen Yingying said, "I just don't object to your choice."

Tang Yi's voice was already tinged with laughter: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my job and internship well."

Shen Yingying said, "Then I hope you can really learn something."

Tang Yi was so happy he forgot everything else and excitedly asked, "Yingying, I'll pack my things and come over right away. Do you have a place to stay?"

Shen Yingying sighed helplessly, "Come over here, there are accommodations prepared for interns."

Tang Yi said excitedly, "Okay, I'll pack my things and come over right away."

Shen Yingying thought for a moment and then said, "Have you taken your driving test yet? I'm planning to take it. If you haven't, you can come over for your internship after you've taken the test."

Tang Yi said, "You have to be 18 years old to get a driver's license. I'm only 18, so I haven't taken the test yet. Why don't we go learn together?"

Shen Yingying readily agreed this time: "Okay."

Tang Yi quickly packed his things and came over. After he arrived, Shen Yingying told Shen Xuening, and then the two of them went to apply for driver's licenses. On the way, they met Li Can and Jiang Rui, so the four of them went to learn together.

Shen Yingying thought this was good; four people were better than two, so there would be no awkwardness.

……

June 30th.

Shen Xuening finally finished writing the procedures for the poverty subsidy. She took a sip of Zhuye Dancong tea and then called Qin Zizhou.

Qin Zizhou was thinking about Shen Xuening when he saw her call and immediately answered: "Wife, do you miss me?"

Shen Xuening replied truthfully, "I miss you, but I also have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Qin Zizhou's beautiful lips curved slightly: "If you're going to do something for me, then do it. Don't be so formal with the 'please'."

Shen Xuening then changed her mind: "Then do me a favor."

Qin Zizhou agreed without hesitation: "Okay, what's up?"

Shen Xuening explained, "I wrote a program for poverty relief. Could you check it for any flaws? One person's thinking is always limited."

Qin Zizhou said, "No problem, just send me the data."

"Okay." Shen Xuening immediately sent the data to Qin Zizhou, and then said sweetly, "Honey, thank you for your help."

Qin Zizhou was in a good mood: "It is my honor to serve you. Give me half a day."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Okay."

Shen Xuening had prepared the poverty subsidy at the beginning of the year, but chose to do so in July. Therefore, she wasn't busy before then. Now that she has written out the program and made some corrections, the timing is just right.

In what seemed like a short time, Qin Zizhou carefully checked the data, made one correction for Shen Xuening, provided an explanation, and then transmitted the data to Shen Xuening.

Shen Xuening reviewed it twice to make sure there were no problems, and then embedded the education assistance section into the scenic area's app, but it is not yet open to the public.

She plans to film a segment to explain the situation first, and then release it to the public.

Shen Baohong was assigned this task.

It took Shen Baohong three hours to turn his educational donation into a video, which he then uploaded online.

This upload immediately attracted widespread attention and even became a trending topic.

"Poverty subsidy? Really?" After watching the video, a fan immediately logged into the scenic area's app to check. To her surprise, there was indeed a new section. She clicked on the section, but it said, "Opens at 8:00 AM on July 1st." "So I can only apply tomorrow."

"Our blogger is so generous, they even opened up a poverty subsidy program, it's such a pleasant surprise."

"The blogger is so kind-hearted, helping not only the elderly but also young people. Now, those poor children have another way out."

"I have to give our blogger a shout-out. I'll also tip them when they go live."

"Alas, it's a pity I've already graduated. If I had graduated a few years earlier, maybe I could have received a subsidy too."

"..."

There has been a lot of online discussion about Shen Xuening's actions, and the video received over 10 comments in less than half an hour, which is astonishing.

Browsing of the scenic area's app has also increased rapidly, further boosting the area's popularity...

That evening, Shen Xuening made a special trip to Shen Baohong's office to inquire about the situation: "Cousin, how is it?"

"It's unexpectedly good." Shen Baohong couldn't help but get excited. "Your influence is simply amazing. Just look at the data online; there's no way to keep up with it all."

Shen Xuening sat down in Shen Baohong's office chair, carefully watched the video, then looked at the data, and then at the online comments and reposts. She was very satisfied: "Your videos are getting more and more interesting."

Shen Baohong smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "If I get worse and worse off while working for you, it will be embarrassing for you too."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about my feelings. Just focus on improving yourself."

Shen Baohong scratched his head: "I still know how to be ambitious."

Shen Xuening didn't say anything more: "You go ahead with your work, I'm going to have dinner with Yingying."

Shen Baohong's eyes lit up: "She cooked at home again today?"

Shen Xuening nodded: "Yes."

Shen Baohong immediately said, "Then I'll go too. It's been so long since I've had Yingying's cooking."

Shen Xuening said, "If you go, it might not be enough. Let's go to Yongle together to buy some food before we go back."

Shen Baohong said, "Okay."

Back home, Shen Baohong was quite surprised to see three people: Tang Yi, Tao Yun, and Shen Weifeng. "Why are you two back?"

Shen Weifeng, who was helping to serve the dishes, smiled and said, "You came back especially to congratulate Yingying?"

Shen Baohong poured himself a cup of tea and drank it: "Yingying deserves congratulations, but I didn't expect the two of you to come back."

Tao Yun placed a plate of braised chicken feet on the table and said with a smile, "Yingying is our little sister. It shouldn't be too surprising for us to come back and visit her."

"Haha." Shen Baohong chuckled. "Now that you've said it, everything seems to make sense."

Shen Yingying's voice came from the kitchen: "Stop joking around, everyone. Come and help me serve the dishes. It's time to eat. By the way, has my sister come back yet?"

Shen Xuening happened to be walking to the kitchen doorway: "You're back. You specifically told me to come back, how could I not?"

Shen Yingying said happily, "Sister, you really know how to support me."

Shen Xuening said, "It's Yingying's turn to shine, so I have to support her. Here, get me that stir-fried chicken giblets."

Shen Yingying handed the dish to Shen Xuening: "Be careful, it's hot."

Everyone served the dishes together and placed them on the table. With the addition of the dishes that Shen Baohong had bought, the table was now full, and it looked very appetizing.

"Want to have a drink?" Shen Wenxu glanced around at everyone.

"You still want to drink?" Tao Yun looked over. "Wenxu, you're getting bolder and bolder."

"No, I'm asking if you want to drink? I'm drinking a beverage," Shen Wenxu quickly said.

"Have some soup. I made stewed chicken with gastrodia elata. This soup is better than any beverage," Shen Yingying said, pointing to the large bowl in the center of the plate.

"Come, come, try Yingying's cooking." Shen Baohong was very supportive.

Shen Weifeng picked up a braised chicken foot for Shen Yingying: "Yingying, eat first. It's been hard for you to cook for us today. Just thinking about how this is the hand of a top scholar makes me feel so happy even before I've eaten it."

Shen Yingying smiled happily: "Brother Feng, you flatter me. I'm happy to cook for everyone. Please try it."

Shen Xuening picked up a piece of stir-fried pork kidney, which unfolded like a flower: "Yingying's knife skills are also good."

Shen Yingying said, "As long as my sister likes to eat it, that's fine."
