"Sister, you are really good at work. What kind of job did you do before?"

"I grew up in the countryside. The hardest part was transplanting rice seedlings. I was most afraid of it because my legs would get stuck in the mud, and there would be leeches sucking my blood and lots of other bugs."

Tong Yao said softly, "People have to bend over like this to plant rice. By the time they're done, they can't even stand up straight. It's very hard work, but one mu of land can only be sold for a little over a thousand yuan."

"From this, we have to deduct the cost of seeds, pesticides, water pumping, fertilizers, etc. In the end, after months of hard work, I probably won't even get half of it."

"If we calculate one mu of land, this person might only earn 400 to 500 yuan after working hard for three months, or about 200 yuan a month."

Tangtang was dumbfounded. She tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion. "Sister, it's only 200 yuan. I have to work hard for three months for 200 yuan?"

"Well, I grow my own food and shelter, so it doesn't cost anything. I can handle it on my own if I get sick, and if it's a serious illness, I just forgo treatment."

"Farmers have a very hard life. They work so hard but earn so little. Costs are getting higher every year, and the earnings are even lower."

Tong Yao sighed softly: "Studying is the only way out for people in our area. When I was a child, the monthly living expenses were 20 yuan."

Tangtang was confused. She had lost all the money she had spent on a twenty-yuan ice cream. How could it last her a month?

"So what does your sister usually eat if she only has 20 yuan a month for living expenses?"

"Coarse grain steamed buns and pickles are the most economical way. Meat is too expensive and few children are willing to eat it. As long as they can have a full meal and not go hungry, that's enough."

"...So pitiful. Mommy, I want to save half of my pocket money and donate it to them every month, okay?"

Bai Ning smiled gently: "Of course."

Tong Yao gently pinched the little girl's face and said softly, "If you want to donate, just let them know the address and ask them to send something, or send money to those in need."

"Don't go through platforms or certain institutions. They are all shady, and only 10% of the money will eventually reach the hands of those who need it."

"Ninety percent of it was taken away by someone else. It's good for children to have kindness, but it's best if this kind money reaches the hands of those who truly need it, and doesn't let the middlemen get away with it."

Bai Ning was puzzled and asked, "Yaoyao, how do you know so much? Those institutions are all legitimate and they wouldn't do such a thing, right?"

Tong Yao affirmed, "Yes, we did. When we were hit by a flood, many people donated money to us, but in the end, all we got were a few packets of instant noodles."

"We don't know where the money went. We didn't get it."

Bai Ning sighed, and then realized what was going on. She patted her daughter's head and said softly, "Tangtang, next time you donate, Mommy will take you. Let's see which orphanage needs help."

"Yeah, I'll listen to mom. If I do good things in the future, I'll give them to people in need."

As they were chatting, a familiar voice sounded overhead, with a hint of flattery: "Mr. Fu, this water was just delivered to you."

"Those free waters are too bad to drink. You should drink this instead. It's real water from the snowy mountains, refreshing and thirst-quenching."

Fu Yuan raised his head and glanced at her, frowning slightly as he refused directly: "Miss, I should have made it very clear before. I don't need all this trouble to leave."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Jiang Tingting's face. If her father hadn't forced her to leave tomorrow, she wouldn't have wanted to seize this slim chance as soon as she saw this man.

As long as... as long as he drinks this bottle of water, everything will fall into place. If she is lucky enough to get pregnant, then marrying into the wealthy Fu family will be a sure thing.

The Fu family has few children, so they will never let go of the child easily. She also checked her ovulation period, and as long as she could make it happen, there was a high probability that she would get pregnant.
