The longed-for village system

Chapter 218 Even the haters can't keep up the fight.

The next morning, Chen Qing got up, washed up, and went to the Mushroom House. Because the show was being filmed, he didn't have breakfast at the old house. After talking with Zhao Xiaogu the day before, Chen Qing handed over the financial power to Zhao Xiaogu, believing that she would handle it well.

This also gave Zhao Xiaogu a sense of security. Although he stayed in the village and never went out, pregnant women always tend to overthink things. Anyway, he didn't need much money in the village, so he might as well give it all to Zhao Xiaogu to put her mind at ease.

Of course, Zhao Xiaogu also trusted Chen Qing very much. Given his lazy nature and reluctance to leave the village, he wouldn't be able to go out and about. Moreover, now that she was pregnant and staying in the village, he wouldn't go anywhere. Even if the man had money, she was at ease. However, since the man insisted on giving her control of the finances, she reluctantly accepted.

There's no way around it; my husband has such a weak sense of money. As his wife, I have to be more careful and prepare more for the family, since they'll have children to support in the future! That's the real expense.

After finishing the breakfast prepared by Sister Chen, Zhao Xiaogu contacted Han Hong. She had entrusted Han Hong with handling her previous donations. Han Hong was well-known in the industry for her charitable work, so people were not afraid that their donated money would disappear inexplicably. Every donor would know where the money went and the details of each donation.

After receiving Zhao Xiaogu's call and learning about the situation, Han Hong repeatedly expressed her gratitude. After all, 450 million was a huge sum of money, enough to keep their organization running for a considerable time, and most importantly, it could relieve their immediate crisis.

Han Hong originally wanted to publicly thank Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu, but Chen Qing said yesterday that he would not do so. Moreover, Zhao Xiaogu felt that it didn't matter whether it was public or not, since her husband didn't want to do it, so she would listen to him and declined Han Hong's offer.

After receiving Zhao Xiaogu's remittance of 450 million yuan, Han Hong immediately made a public statement: "Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Chen, for the 450 million yuan donation. I hope your creative and acting skills will continue to improve and your achievements will continue to grow. On behalf of the children, I thank you. I also congratulate you both on your marriage and wish you a healthy and chubby baby."

Han Hong's tweet was spotted by everyone immediately, and then everyone started guessing who the newlyweds were. Soon, clever netizens had a target.

Although Han Hong did not name names directly, the information she provided was easily deduced by the public, since not many couples echoed the information she provided.

Mr. Chen locked onto the surname Chen as his target. He could also rule out some people because of his creative and acting backgrounds. In addition, the happy marriage and the birth of a healthy baby made everyone think of Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu, who are still trending on social media.

Moreover, Tencent also announced at this time that it had purchased the broadcasting rights and commercial performance rights of Chen Qingxin's songs for 500 million yuan, making everything clear to everyone.

Especially those who know or have watched "Back to Field" know that Chen Qing is the kind of person who shares good songs with everyone for free. It's entirely possible that he will donate most of the money from the song sales to do good deeds.

This time, even the trolls and keyboard warriors didn't dare to criticize Chen Qing, because Chen Qing's actions made it impossible for them to open their mouths or launch an attack.

"What a model couple in the entertainment industry! Their donation is really generous."

"As expected of my favorite idol couple, they are so awesome, beautiful inside and out."

"Impressive. They sold 500 million worth of songs, and before they even had a chance to warm their wallets, they donated 450 million. I think if it weren't for their children, Brother Chen and Goddess Xiao Gu would have donated it all. That's what a true idol is."

"They can't criticize them, they can't criticize them at all! Others donate to reduce taxes, but Brother Chen and Goddess Xiao Gu are truly giving back to charity." "Earning 500 million and donating 450 million, does Brother Chen have to be so generous! It's no wonder they are famous, it would be an injustice if they weren't."

As netizens discussed the situation, more and more people learned about it and joined the comment section. Even the "Back to Field" live stream was flooded with comments asking about Chen Qing's situation. Keep in mind that at this time, the "Back to Field" live stream was still black and had not yet started, but now the number of online viewers has exceeded 30.

This is truly legendary in the live streaming world! The number of concurrent viewers was already so high even before the live stream started; fans were treating the live stream like a chat platform.

Fortunately, Lao Wang and the others didn't focus their attention on the live stream at this time. They probably didn't expect that so many viewers would gather in the live stream chat even though the live stream was still more than two hours away from starting. Otherwise, he would definitely have arranged for Chen Qing to do a "morning news broadcast," which would have been another sure-fire trending topic.

"Good morning, Brother Chen." The younger sister, who was reading aloud in the morning, greeted Chen Qing with a smile.

"Good morning, little sister. Did Teacher Huang go for a run?" Chen Qing greeted her sister and peeked into the kitchen. She nodded in satisfaction when she saw something burning on the stove.

"Hmm! Mr. Huang hasn't finished the marathon running task he set for the season yet! He should be back soon."

Chen Qing also knew about Teacher Huang's task: to run 42 kilometers in 12 episodes, which is equivalent to running a full marathon. Now that the show has become 24 episodes, his goal has become to run two marathons. However, so far, he is still about ten kilometers away from completing a 42-kilometer run.

Although Lao Wang and the others hadn't entered the live stream room yet and discovered what was happening there, they had already seen the news online. When they saw Chen Qing come in, they couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Xiao Chen, can I ask you something? Did you donate 450 million yuan to Han Hong's charity?"

"Old Wang, why are you asking that? Who told you that?"

Chen Qing was slightly surprised when Lao Wang asked about this. Logically speaking, if they didn't make it public, no one would know that they had donated money to Han Hong. Did the people there make their information public?
"Take a look at the news online! Han Hong thanked Mr. and Mrs. Chen for donating 450 million yuan. She also mentioned some information, and netizens speculated that it was you two. Can you tell us if it is you?"

Chen Qing took the phone from Wang Zhengyu and looked at it. He was speechless at Han Hong's words of thanks. What was the difference between that and just saying their names directly? It was practically the same as saying their names directly.

Seeing this, Chen Qing no longer hid anything and nodded in response, "It was Xiao Gu and me. We received 500 million from Tencent yesterday, and my husband and I discussed it and decided to donate some of the money, as a way to accumulate some good fortune for our unborn child."

Is this what you call donating a little? It's more like keeping a little! Of the 500 million, 450 million was donated, leaving only 50. That's quite a stingy way to keep it.

Seeing Chen Qing's calm and collected demeanor, the girls in the group couldn't help but swoon, shouting, "Brother Chen is so handsome! We love you!"
