Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 107 Life and Death, Poverty and Fortune, and the Unchanged Aspiration
After taking a walk around Siyuan Village, I found quite a few changes.

The houses destroyed in the typhoon have basically been rebuilt.

Moreover, the quality of houses has obviously improved a lot compared to before. They have basically been replaced with regular brick houses, and the previous adobe houses have disappeared.

The library in Siyuan Village Primary School is ready for completion and acceptance. In addition to the library, it is also equipped with two network classrooms for children to take online and computer classes.

All the hardware equipment and supporting Internet fees are borne by the domestic communications giant Hongmeng, and the children do not have to pay a penny.

The school playground has also been renovated and looks much smoother, making it much safer for children to play football and have fun on it.

The most striking thing is that the originally abandoned auditorium has been transformed into a simple guesthouse.

Each room is equipped with a bed, a desk, and some daily necessities, making accommodation much more convenient.

Compared to the shabby conditions when we came here to record the show three months ago, the conditions are now completely different.

In the evening, Xu Lingyue and others were invited to the home of the old village chief Yang Tiezhu, where a table was set up in the open air to welcome them.

The dishes on the table are not expensive, they are all home-cooked dishes.

During the meal, villagers kept coming with big pots and small bowls to add more food. One family brought a pot of stewed chicken and another brought an egg...no matter how much we tried to persuade them, they would not stop.

After eating for a long time, I ended up eating more and more food on the table.

When the banquet was about to end, Cao Xing, who had been keeping silent, suddenly asked, "Village Chief, what's going on with Li Meng?"

Xu Lingyue and others were stunned for a moment and looked at him together.

"Who is Li Meng?" Lin Xina looked confused.

Oh, she took the initiative to talk to me!
Cao Xing got excited and took out his phone to display Weibo. "I just saw it. It seems to be a child from Siyuan Village."

Everyone leaned over to take a look and saw a piece of news released by a self-media.

A pale, short-haired girl was lying on the bed, looking very weak.

But the most heartbreaking thing in the photo is not her complexion, but her empty right leg - it had been amputated.

It is estimated that the hospital registration information was leaked, so these self-media immediately smelled the scent and jumped in.

Although Mr. Zhou’s peak popularity has passed, as long as he is somewhat related, he will still receive some attention.

Otherwise, not many people would pay attention to a child with amputation.

The next moment, several people looked at the old village chief at the same time.

Yang Tiezhu put down his chopsticks and sighed solemnly, "This child... has a miserable life."

"After the previous typhoon, many houses in the village were destroyed, and the remaining ones were also in a precarious situation. To be on the safe side, I suggested that they wait for the construction team to come and reinforce them before moving back."

"But some people just can't be persuaded, saying 'A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own dog house', and they insist on moving back, and Li Meng's family is one of them."

"After they moved back in for a while, the house suddenly collapsed, and the child... half of her body was crushed by rocks. When she was rescued, her..."

The old village chief couldn't continue speaking, his voice was choked with sobs.

This shows how tragic the situation was at that time.

"In the end, his life was saved, but his leg was not. All he could do was..."

Yang Tiezhu lowered his head and shook his head repeatedly.

"Before the child was born, her father ran off with a woman in the city. Her mother has been working outside all year round and can only come home twice a year. She basically lives with her grandmother."

"After this happened, her grandmother was so upset that she almost hanged herself. The villagers took turns to counsel her and finally managed to calm her down. But now she still cries every day."

"The child's family is extremely poor. The money for the amputation and hospitalization was all scraped together by everyone. But living in a big hospital costs a lot of money every day. I don't know how long the little money we have collected can last..."

Several people listened in silence.

He had a tragic life experience and an even more tragic experience...it seemed as if this child was born to suffer.

At this moment, most of Xu Lingyue's depression disappeared, and she even felt that she was being a little pretentious.

She felt that she had no qualifications to be an emo. Compared with this child, she felt as if she was living in heaven.

So happy! After a long silence, Zhang Yunfeng suddenly broke the silence, "I will pay for all her medical expenses and rehabilitation expenses."

"Ah?" The old village chief was surprised.

"Count me in, too." Lin Xina said immediately after coming back to her senses.

"And me!" Cao Xing quickly agreed.

Yang Tiezhu waved his hands hastily, "No, no, you are not from our village, there is no reason for you to pay this money..."

"Village chief, what you said is not right." Zhang Yunfeng said with a smile: "If you treat us as outsiders, then we should carefully calculate the price of each dish these villagers sent us just now."

"You guys..." Yang Tiezhu's eyes were a little red.

"What does Li Meng's mother do?" Xu Lingyue asked.

"I first heard that she was a nanny. Two years ago, I heard that she went to work in an electronics factory. I don't know the details, but I know it's not easy for her to support a family as a woman."

Xu Lingyue thought for a moment and said, "If I can contact her, I can ask her if she is willing to be my assistant. It should be much more free than working in an office, and I can have more time to take care of my family."

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Your idea is the best!" Lin Xina praised.

"Okay, I'll ask her later." The old village chief nodded, "You guys live here, if you need anything just tell me, we have limited conditions here, but we will definitely not refuse if we can satisfy you."

After helping to clean up the dishes, they returned to the auditorium together.

As they walked, they were still discussing the child named Li Meng.

"This child is so pitiful. He lost a leg at the age of ten..." Lin Xina said with a look of pity: "It's really tragic."

"But this girl is really tough." Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh, "She was so poor that she had no money to treat her leg, but she didn't even sell Teacher Zhou's information to the self-media. She's really tight-lipped."

"He is a good kid, no matter how life or death or poverty or success he has a strong will." Zhang Yunfeng nodded in approval. "It may have something to do with the teachings of Mr. Zhou. The kids here are very strong-willed."

"By the way...does Teacher Zhou know about this?" Lin Xina asked again.

"Of course he doesn't know." Cao Xing immediately replied: "If he knew, would he just sit there and watch? The child has already been admitted to the VIP ward!"

"That makes sense." Lin Xina looked at Xu Lingyue who had been silent all the way, "Sister, do you want to talk to Teacher Zhou about this?"

Xu Lingyue hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.

The children here are all his favorite.

If I knew about this but didn't tell him... he would definitely be angry, right?

After returning to the room and changing clothes, Xu Lingyue took out her cell phone and searched for news about Li Meng, and sure enough, it was all over the place.

Although it has not yet reached the point of becoming a hot topic, it has already become a carnival feast for various self-media people and marketing accounts.

Various eye-catching and exaggerated headlines emerged one after another, but the news content was highly similar. Not many people really cared about Li Meng's situation, but instead kept directing the topic to Teacher Zhou.

These people don’t understand human nature, but they know a lot about traffic.

The grand occasion in the comment section below was indeed what they wished.

"What a poor child, is there no one to help?"

"Where's Mr. Zhou? Isn't he going to come out and donate a little?"

"You used to advertise everywhere and it was so great, but now such a big thing has happened and you are pretending not to see it?"

"It's just a marketing deification, just watch it for fun, do you really expect him to come out and save all living beings?"

"Please stop praising this person. It makes me sick."

"I am now even beginning to doubt whether his teaching experience is real!"

"+1"

"..."

Seeing the almost entirely negative comments on the homepage, Xu Lingyue frowned instinctively.

Why does it feel like... someone is muddying the waters in an organized way?
Is there anyone who wants to take this opportunity to discredit Teacher Zhou?
