chapter 17 I didn't get rich

Words : 0 Updated : Jan 25th, 2024

Just as everyone was whispering and wanting to know the last donor, the village director finally cleared his throat and said, "Maybe you didn't expect this person, because he told me to donate anonymously when he came to donate." As soon as the village director said these words, the hall suddenly became quiet and silent. Everyone looked at the village director in disbelief. After a brief silence, everyone began to talk again. "Who is this person? He donated so much and remained anonymous. Is he from our village?" "No, if you donate 50,000 yuan at once, how rich this person must be!" "You really do good deeds without leaving your name! But I want to know who he is." I thought you wouldn't know. I didn't donate money to the old village chief for fame, so I donated anonymously. But at this moment, the village director suddenly said again, "Everyone, please be quiet. Although this person wants to donate anonymously, after thinking about it, I still think I should name him because he has also done something for our village." A lot of contributions, everyone needs to know who he is.” Aunt Trista was the first to speak, "Director, is that person really from our village?" The village director nodded and said, "Not only is he from our village, but he is also someone you are very familiar with." I thought to myself at the time, "Oh no, this village director is going to tell me my name!" To be honest, I don't want to be the center of attention at all right now. I turned around to leave, but as soon as I reached the door of the hall, I heard the village director shouting to me from the stage, "Jay Carter, where are you going? Come back quickly." When the village director shouted, everyone looked at me again, with expressions of confusion. I said, "Director, don't talk about the anonymous donors!" "Say, you have to say, I want everyone to know that it was you who donated it." As soon as the village director spoke, the entire hall fell silent again, and everyone looked at me in disbelief. There are surprises, doubts, and disbelief... At this time, a villager stood up and asked the village director, "Director, is the person you mentioned making anonymous donations the same as Jay Carter?" The village director nodded heavily and said loudly, "That's right, it's Jay Carter. Didn't you expect that?" In an instant, the hall seemed to explode, and everyone started talking. I listened to the discussions. Some people said that Jay Carter was bankrupt. How come you still have money to donate 50,000 yuan? Some people say that he is now rich again? Even my Aunt Trista and uncle looked at me in disbelief, so they were all confused. This is what I am afraid of, because once I have money, these people will come to eat me like moths. I am very annoyed by this. The village director shouted to me again, "Jay Carter, come up and say a few words!" I waved and said no. But the village director came down from the stage with a microphone and said to me, "You have to say a few words today to let everyone see that our boss Chen is back!" I was helpless and really didn’t want to talk. But another village name encouraged him, "Come up and say a few words! The director has come down personally to invite you." The village director echoed, "Give me some face, Boss Chen." I felt ashamed, but I still took the microphone and stood there and said, "Everyone has misunderstood. I have not made a fortune at all. I am still bankrupt. This fifty thousand is actually..." Before he finished speaking, Chen Steve Carter, the favorite person in the village, said, "Boss Chen, why don't you tell us the truth? The beautiful woman from the developer who came today said that she and you are old friends. She I went to your house today just as a friend, and your mother gave her a pack of oranges. Isn't that normal?" When I heard this, I was stunned. Is this what An Anne Boyle said? But why didn’t I know, and when did she say it? After hearing what Steve Carter said, everyone started talking again, saying that they had misunderstood me, and that Jay Carter was keeping a low profile now and didn't let everyone know about his wealth. I was about to cry, but I patiently explained, "That's not true. Listen to me, I'm really not rich now. I'm still the same as before." No one believed it. After all, 50,000 yuan was donated in one go, which is a lot of money in rural areas. My Aunt Trista said angrily, "Jay Carter, if you don't want to admit it, aren't you just afraid that we will ask you to borrow money again? Don't worry, we won't ask you to borrow money. Now we have money." The uncle also echoed and said, "That's right, so what if you admit you are rich? Are you looking down on us poor relatives?" I realized that I really couldn't explain it, so I stopped talking, returned the microphone to the village director, and ran away. Back home, my mother was feeding the chickens in the yard. Seeing that I was back, she asked me, "Jay, have you donated money to the old village chief?" I nodded and replied, "Donate it. Mom, I have to go back to the city today. I have something to do." "Let's stay one more night before leaving! It's so late now, do you still have a car?" "Yes, I'll come back to see you next time. It shouldn't be long." As I said that, I went into the house to clean up. My mother also put down the chicken food and came into the house to help me clean it up. She also brought me a lot of souvenirs and packed two big bags for me. I said I couldn't carry so much by myself and I would be back in a while anyway, so I only carried one bag and left. Just when I was preparing to leave with my luggage, I didn't expect that several of my relatives came to the door, and they all had things in their hands. Each one seemed to be a different person from the previous one, and they came towards me very enthusiastically. Aunt Trista was the first to say, "Feng'er! You are promising now, and I, as a nanny, am also happy for you. There’s nothing good at home, so just keep the local eggs here!” As she spoke, she handed me a whole basket of eggs. Immediately afterwards, the third uncle also came forward and handed me a pack of Chinese cigarettes and said, "Feng'er! My uncle may have said some unpleasant things yesterday after drinking. Don't take it to heart. I will apologize to you." Before I could say anything, my uncle and his mother-in-law also came forward and handed the bag in their hands and said, "Jay, uncle knows that sooner or later you will be successful again. I have been optimistic about your child since you were a child. My uncle’s family has nothing to give you. This is bean flour made by our family. I heard it sells for more than ten yuan a pound outside... There are also some bacon and sausages in it, all smoked by ourselves." Listening to their endless kind words, I felt very helpless, but I also wanted to laugh. This is the so-called relative. In just two days, the word human nature was really interpreted brilliantly. In this case, I won't explain it. I happen to be leaving soon, so they can treat my mother better. But I didn’t accept anything they handed me. Once I accepted it, the nature would be different. I smiled and said, "Aunt Trista, Third Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, I appreciate your kindness. I know what you mean. Don't worry, I, Jay Carter, will never forget you... I have something urgent to do now." Now that I’m back in the city, I’ll ask you to take care of my mother.” The four of them all said in unison that this was for sure, they were originally a family. Really, I feel ashamed for them. Yesterday, I said that my father had separated the family and that we were no longer a family. Today, we said that we are a family. Don’t you feel embarrassed? Of course, if they feel embarrassed, it's really not them. After perfunctory, my third uncle took me to the town station on his motorcycle. On the way back, I called my mother and said, if Aunt Trista and Uncle give you something again, don’t accept it. My mother said she knew and she wasn't stupid. After hurriedly rushing, I finally caught the last bus in the county. But it was already 10:30 in the evening when I returned to my place in the city, and I was already very tired after such a long day. But as soon as I opened the door, I saw a pair of men's leather shoes at the door, and I froze immediately. I looked up again and saw that the bedroom door was ajar. I heard the laughter of my wife and a man inside, which instantly made me furious. In the two days since I returned home, my wife has blatantly brought the adulterer home. I can't bear it anymore, I'm going to kill you on the spot today! He immediately rushed into the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, and rushed into the bedroom...
