Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 830: V675: Love Is Traversing Mountains and Rivers, Love Is a Lifelong Obsession [22]
Then Qiu Mingyan took Feng Chengyue to a second family, a third family.
The mountain villagers, as always, were indescribably simple. Upon seeing Qiu Mingyan, they happily wanted to kill chickens, break eggs, and serve the best things they had at home. Even those who cared most for Qiu Mingyan would tremblingly bring out a pile of paper money from home and say, "Mingyan, my family’s condition is actually okay. That day I wasn’t home, your Ninth Aunt didn’t know and took the money, spent it. Now this is what’s left, take it back. There are many people in the village. It’s not easy for you to support all of us. Being able to help us with medical care is already great, you don’t have to give money."
"Mingyan, you’ve been outside for so many years, it must have been tough for you. I see this young girl beside you should be your girlfriend, right? Getting married to a girl from outside costs a lot. You should save up to marry a wife yourself."
Seeing this made Feng Chengyue’s eyes a bit warm.
Especially in some households, which were really so poor that the stove only had seasonings like salt and chili, but nothing else... Even inside the mud house, the quilts were still shedding cotton, and the poor conditions shocked Feng Chengyue.
But when they faced Qiu Mingyan, and even the first-time meeting with Feng Chengyue, there wasn’t a hint of complaint about the hardship of searching in the rain last night. Instead, they continuously said, "Ah, we’re all from the same village, it’s what we should do."
And they gave Feng Chengyue the best hospitality the whole family could offer.
But there was another scene beyond this simplicity, with more or less another type of voice.
"Mingyan, is this girl your girlfriend? Will you two get married in the big city in the future? When you get married, let us stay there. We haven’t seen the sights outside the mountains."
"Mingyan, I heard you bought a house in the big city before. How big is it?"
Qiu Mingyan smiled awkwardly and said truthfully: "A friend helped to buy it. It’s already sold now, over 170 square meters."
The other party sighed: "Ah, selling it is such a pity. I was just saying your fourth brother is planning a marriage in the county this year. They want a house. Our family can’t afford a house in the county. If possible, let them live in your original house for a while, and show the girl we also have wealthy relatives, marry first and talk later."
"Ah, by the way, where is the girl’s family from? If you sold your house, does the girl’s family have a house? Let your fourth brother use it first, huh?"
Subtle sighing, along with some fragmentary family talk, doesn’t sound like much at first. These are people whom Qiu Mingyan has helped significantly before, meant to be helped.
But saying it again and again, refreshing Feng Chengyue’s limits of understanding with words and concepts, allowing Feng Chengyue to truly realize for the first time the terrifying gap in the world.
Yet this is the reality Qiu Mingyan faces.
He is a college student who was collectively financed by the village. Here, all the mountain villagers look out for each other. Everyone is poor, so they support each other. This family helps that family, and that family helps this family in times of difficulty; it’s a normal thing.
Moreover, they all share the same surname and belong to the same clan.
The Qiu Family fled to this place during the war in their grandfather’s time. The Chen Family Village took them in, divided land for them, and helped build the initial mud houses. In the hardest times, when Qiu Mingyan’s father had no milk, people from Chen Family Village took turns feeding him rice mush.
When Qiu Mingyan couldn’t afford going to school, people from the Chen Family Village tightened their belts to help gather tuition fees.
Especially with the village head selling blood, and Uncle Chen Qi helping with farm work, injuring his hand, the Qiu Family owes the Chen Family Village the gratitude spanning three generations.
But on the other hand, the village’s concept leads everyone to think that Qiu Mingyan belongs to everyone. Since Qiu Mingyan is successful, he should support and care for everyone in the village, ranging from building roads to constructing houses, to Qiu Mingyan’s current profession as a doctor. Filial piety is the most basic human duty.
They have no scientific concepts, nor do they have any notions of moderation. Including the fact that Qiu Mingyan currently holds a few million he hasn’t spent, Feng Chengyue knows this, but Qiu Mingyan never tells the villagers that he still has money. Even if he gives, it’s just a few hundred to each family, to let them live a little better in terms of food and clothing.
His own house has only been slightly repaired, never fully renovated.
