Chapter 1563

Gong Ruini returned home, only to find that in these two days, the two little ones who had been devoted to acting cute for affection surprisingly hadn’t gone out to work, which was quite strange.

"Why don’t you go out to act cute today."

"If you don’t go out to work today, you won’t have any food to eat."

When Gong Ruini said this, her tone was quite sour.

Before coming back, she knew these two little kids would earn a lot, but she didn’t expect the red envelopes they received to be that plentiful.

Her envy was overwhelming, almost unable to deal with it, considering she had never been that rich before the age of ten.

Pingping, upon seeing Gong Ruini, gave her a happy smile, while An An reached out for Gong Ruini to hold him.

Although Gong Ruini pretended to dislike it, she still picked up her daughter, but as for her son, uh-oh, this little guy was really something else when it comes to activity.

If she were to hold him, it would be overwhelmingly tiring, looking around, "Where is everyone."

That’s not right, although being at home wouldn’t lead to trouble, Pingping was indeed too mischievous, especially after learning to crawl, as soon as you take your eyes off him, he’d swivel his tiny butt and dash off.

"I’m preparing milk formula for him," Zhao Xuran walked out of the nearby room, "I told him if he moved, he wouldn’t get any milk."

This little guy has been so rowdy these past days that if he doesn’t receive a stern lesson, he would be impossible to handle.

Gong Ruini responded with an "Oh," casually unbuttoned her clothes to prepare to feed An An.

At the beginning, Gong Ruini really felt quite embarrassed, always thinking about making Zhao Xuran leave the room, but he insisted there’s nothing he hasn’t seen, leaving Gong Ruini to let go of this idea.

Over time, Gong Ruini felt less embarrassing, with Pingping hugging the bottle Zhao Xuran handed him, and eagerly gulping down the milk.

Gong Ruini looked at her son’s little face puffing up and down while eating vigorously, gently tapped him, "Actually, Pingping is quite good, a great big brother."

Even though when he was younger, he always wanted milk, he still let An An eat first; several times Gong Ruini saw him looking pitiful and wanted him to be the first to eat, but he refused.

"That’s what being a big brother means; otherwise, how could we feel at ease leaving An An in his care later."

"Right, I’ve been thinking today, Pingping and An An received quite a lot of New Year’s money, it’s not a good idea just to save it in the bank."

"Yes, saving it in the bank would be a waste." No matter how high the bank interest goes, it can’t surpass inflation, let alone the housing prices; Gong Ruini didn’t mention it, just asked how to handle the money, waiting to see how Zhao Xuran would handle it.

Gong Ruini thought, based on Zhao Xuran’s style, it would either be buying a house or investing in some industry.

"What if we donate the money?" Zhao Xuran asked nervously in a low voice.

Donate? Gong Ruini was shocked, it wasn’t in her expectation at all, this news came down like a bombshell.

"We had intended to do good deeds before; wasn’t it our parents who donated quite a bit to the temple? I thought instead of donating to the temple, we could help those in need."

"Actually, I’ve been thinking about it since Pingping and An An were born." Zhao Xuran explained that this idea wasn’t a sudden one, but a result of long consideration.

"At that time, I thought we would contribute the money, but now I feel using Pingping and An An’s New Year’s money would be even better."

This suggestion, Gong Ruini really liked, using the kids’ money to help those in need would also accumulate good karma for them.

Although most credit goes to chance, but can’t thank a place that shouldn’t exist, "Okay, I think it’s feasible."

"Didn’t you say that in the western part, many kids can’t afford school? We could sponsor them to get an education there." Since we’re helping those who need it, Gong Ruini directly selected a place.

"Alright." Zhao Xuran remembered his previous trips to the west for business, seeing kids struggling in various ways.

Even though compulsory education exists now, just the tuition fees and the money for notebooks make many kids miss out on school.

"I want to donate directly to the kids, without going through any organizations." Nowadays, there’s Hope Project already, though Gong Ruini hasn’t dealt with them yet; maybe love projects aren’t as chaotic as later generations now, but Gong Ruini hopes to use their own ability to save more people.

It may sound a bit pretentious, but what Gong Ruini wants is to personally help, to add some more strength.

Setting roots locally can create more job opportunities for the area, increase GDP, but that’s the upper route, if good relations are established with the lower masses, there are many advantages too.

Since that’s the case, Gong Ruini felt there’s no need to be petty, "I want to establish a fund."

"Ah, a fund." Zhao Xuran was quite sure his wife would agree, but hearing her intentions seemed like she wanted to make it big?

Gong Ruini kept nodding, expressing her ideas, Zhao Xuran found himself quite attracted, he had to admit it was a good idea.

But such a good idea isn’t without problems, "Have you considered, if we make this project big, it would be very obtrusive."

"You should know there’s a Hope Project now."

Gong Ruini nodded, of course, she knew, her family donated annually, not for any tax deduction, but purely out of goodwill.

Also, to show the upper leaders that business people also have kind hearts.

"If we become too strong, we’ll overshadow the Hope Project’s glory; what do you think the authorities will think?" Reputation is a double-edged sword; it depends on how you use it.

How would they view it, they’d probably consider it a thorn, "Forget it, I’ll pretend I didn’t say anything."

Even knowing that strength is incomparable, nor can the reach of welfare groups be matched, yet if a company can handle affairs so well, what would the love fund think?

Gong Ruini couldn’t help but break into a sweat; doing good deeds is great, but one mustn’t become too complacent, or misfortune will follow.

Even though Gong Ruini could proudly claim, if truly necessary, she could move to the United States to start anew, with money not being an issue, life would be fine.

But would Zhan Jing adapt? Even if Ha Miaozhu and the older folks are willing to leave their homeland?

If they really wanted to leave the homeland, they would have done so earlier, wouldn’t have stayed domestically experiencing hardships all these years.

"Then should we continue cooperating with them?" Rationally understanding, Gong Ruini still felt uncomfortable.

"This time we can personally help those in need, after all, it’s Pingping and An An’s New Year’s money, a one-off operation won’t stand out." Seeing his wife so timid, Zhao Xuran felt distressed.

It’s not easy for his wife, having come up with such a good idea, yet still blames herself in various ways.

If he were more capable, would it not be like this, Zhao Xuran pulled Gong Ruini into a hug, "If you want to start a fund, then start one."

For his wife to rarely have such a great idea, not only did he fail to support her, but also inadvertently hurt her feelings, Zhao Xuran genuinely felt that he was indeed quite a scoundrel at this moment.
