"You mean you want to donate money to build roads?" the man said excitedly.

Then, he stopped again and looked at Shu Xi with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, and said, "Why do you want to build a road for our village?

Our village is a poor and remote place. Even if we develop for another ten years, it will never be able to develop like this.

If you think that’s profitable, you’re wrong.”

Shu Xi said: "Why do you think I am doing this for some reason?"

The man looked at Shu Xi, his eyes flickering.

"because……"

He swallowed the words back.

"If you were sent by the people over there, please go back. We don't repair roads."

Shu Xi said: "I don't know who you are talking about, and I don't know what happened recently. I just want to repair the road and move Shen Biyun's grave."

"Shen Biyun is yours..."

Speaking of Shen Biyun, the seriousness on the man's face suddenly became less serious.

He stared at Shu Xi without blinking, as if trying to see something from her face.

Suddenly, he thought of something and said excitedly, "You are the child that Biyun brought back from the city, the one who doesn't like to talk but is good at fighting and likes to run to the mountains like a wild monkey!"

He tried hard to recall Shu Xi's name, but in the end he couldn't remember anything.

Shu Xi was not a big shot at that time, and she rarely appeared in public afterwards. If she had not broken a child's head in the village when she first arrived, and the parents of the child had not come to make trouble, and the child's parents had not been driven away by Shen Biyun as a shrew, who would still remember Shu Xi?

Ye Lin looked at Shu Xi and the corners of her mouth twitched.

She didn't expect Shuxi had such impressive achievements when she was young. She really felt inferior to him.

"What kind of work are you doing out there now?"

Shu Xi said: "You can't make much money from running a small business, so all your money can only be spent on the most important things.

But I don't have much experience, so I still hope you and the village chief can help me."

The man's name was Shen Guodong. He was quite shrewd, and he immediately said with a smile, "Okay, okay.

You are still relatively young and don’t understand many things, so it is best to leave this matter to the village committee.”

"Yes, I'll leave this matter to you. Tell me if you need money."

"Girl, what's your budget?"

Shu Xi said, "I don't know about this. You can go to the nearby engineering team and ask how much it will cost. Just tell me."

"Okay."

Shen Guodong sent them out. When he saw Shu Xi getting into the old Toyota car, he was stunned for a moment and the smile on his face disappeared a little.

He sighed and muttered, "I thought she was very rich, but it turns out she is just an ignorant girl."

But he still needs to discuss it with the village chief and the villagers.

After all, someone was sending money to the village, and he shouldn't stop them.

"Sister Xi, that man looks a bit snobbish. When he saw you getting into this car, the smile on his face disappeared." Ye Lin reminded Shu Xi.

Shu Xi had just started the car, and she thought Shu Xi didn't see it.

Shu Xi responded calmly, "I know."

"Then why don't we do it ourselves? We can find an engineering team to do it ourselves. We know how much it will cost, so we won't be cheated by them." Ye Lin said.

Shu Xi said: "No, we have to let them cheat a little, otherwise they won't let us start construction here."

It's the same for everyone. They won't do anything without benefits. They won't want to do anything that is not profitable.

Ye Lin still didn't understand: "Why? Is there no one to take care of it?"

Shu Xi said: "This is a rural area. No matter how long your arms are, there are places you can't control. Before, someone wanted to build a road for the village, but they didn't want to go through them and didn't want to give money to these people, so they bypassed them and started the construction themselves. As a result, when they invited the construction team over, the village committee jumped out to stop them.

They said that private work was not allowed and that they had to report it and apply to higher authorities, and so on, and the matter was left unresolved afterwards.”

"It's so dark! Bad guys come from poor and remote areas! Don't these people think about themselves or their descendants? If the road is repaired, everyone will be able to live comfortably in the future, isn't that good?"

“People are all egoists. They haven’t read many books, and they have some power in their hands, so they naturally become arrogant.

So sometimes good things are not so easy to do. "

Ye Lin said: "If it were me, I wouldn't bother to care about these people."

"Are you hungry? Let's go find Aunt Lin. She has already cooked dinner."

Shu Xi drove to the vicinity of Lin Ma's house. In fact, this was not Lin Ma's real home, but Shen Biyun's home.

Mother Lin was abandoned by her husband and wandered here on her own. She was taken in by Shen Biyun and settled down there.

However, Mother Lin was a person with a miserable life. She thought she could live a good life after coming here, but her son fell into the water and died for no reason. Now she is left alone.

Fortunately, she met Shuxi, and her life finally became hopeful.

Soon, they arrived at Shen Biyun's cabin.

Shen Biyun is from Shenjia Village. Her parents died early, leaving her the only woman left in her family. Before, someone wanted to take over the family and robbed her house, but Shen Biyun was strong enough to avoid being robbed.

Before she passed away, Shen Biyun found several village heads, stuffed them with red envelopes, and did a notarized document to gift the house to Shu Xi. The house now belongs to Shu Xi.

"Mother Lin, we are here."

Shu Xi called inside and heard Lin Ma's enthusiastic voice: "Come on."

Mother Lin is a hardworking person. After coming back early, she cleaned the place very cleanly, as if someone had always lived here.

Originally, Mrs. Lan was planning to come along, but Aunt Lin wouldn't let her. She said that no one had lived here for a long time and it was very dirty, so she wanted her to come back early and clean up the place before letting Mrs. Lan come.

Mrs. Lan really wanted to come over here and take a look, because she had always been curious about what the place where Shuxi lived when she was a child was like.

Why do Lin Ma and Shu Xi say that although the conditions were difficult, they were very happy when they talked about the past?

"Wow, it smells so good, is this bacon?" Ye Lin couldn't even go in, but she could smell the aroma of bacon just by standing at the door.

Mother Lin said, "It's bacon. I bought it from my neighbor. It was just dried this year. It hasn't been dried long enough, otherwise it would be even more fragrant."

"Mom Lin, I'll go to the airport to pick up grandma tomorrow." Shu Xi said to Mom Lin.

Mother Lin said, "Okay, I've packed everything and made sure everything is clean. When she comes, she can stay here comfortably."

Only then did Mother Lin feel relieved.
