Chapter 80: This Is the Power of Wealth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Jinsen’s words were not spontaneous.

He watched the uncle go out to sea alone to catch fish. The old-fashioned wooden boat sailed on the sea every day under the wind and sun and yet he had no stable home on land. Such a life was really torturous.

Although Lu Jinsen had never suffered like this before, he still felt pity for him when he saw such a situation and encounter. He wanted to do his part for the uncle.

[Sister Meng: This child has grown up.]

[Sister Meng’s disciple has become successful. This was the most commendable sentence he has said since coming here. Hahaha.]

[Perhaps after following Sister Meng for so long, Eldest Young Master has also learned to observe other people’s emotions and concerns. Boohoo.]

[I’m suddenly looking forward to what kind of boat Young Master will change for Uncle. This must be the power of wealth. We have been charmed by his silly image for so long that we almost forgot that he’s a proper Young Master.]

[Wuwuwu, Uncle can finally have a safer place to stay. I even want to ask the production team if they can arrange a crowdfunding channel.]

Coincidentally, the recording of the variety show would end tomorrow. Lu Jinsen could help resolve this matter.

When the uncle heard this, he was shocked. He quickly waved his hand and said, “No, no, no. My ship can still be used.”

Lu Jinsen looked at the deck under his feet. He had repaired it countless times. If it rained heavily in this weather, the ship would easily get flooded. It was really dangerous.

Changing ships would at least ensure his safety out on the sea.

This time, Meng Chuyuan was on Lu Jinsen’s side. “Uncle, we’ll change a boat for you tomorrow. There should be a local support policy, right? If you’re unwilling to accept our gift, I can help you fight for subsidies and change a new boat for you.”

She had some understanding in this area, so she knew what to do. Perhaps only by saying this could the uncle feel more at ease.

Before the uncle could think it through, Lu Jinsen agreed on his behalf. “It’s settled then.”

[I should praise this episode’s Eldest Young Master. Hahaha, he’s quite like a rich young master.]

[After watching this variety show, I want to take the college entrance examination.]

[Looks like Sister Meng often participates in these things. She knows so much about these things. I really admire her.]

[It’s the same in my old home. It was filled with things that have been sewn and mended for many years. After Grandma passed away, no one lived there anymore. Every year, I can’t bear to throw the things away when I go back to clean. I’ve developed sentimental feelings for these things.]

[Sister Meng understands other people’s difficulties. She cares about other people’s face and doesn’t force them to concede. Through other methods, it is indeed easier for people to accept her help. How much observation and meticulousness do you really have to be to do this? Boohoo.]

[Look at this variety show. I can really learn a lot of knowledge from the production team and Sister Meng. It’s simply a walking encyclopedia. I don’t even remember things so clearly when I was in school.]

On the other hand, the Liao sisters brought fruits to visit the old granny who was scavenging.

The old granny picked up scraps nearby all year round. Then, she had a little grandson at home. Her son and daughter-in-law worked overseas, and their lives were very difficult.

Their house was relatively old and they lived in the furthest part of the village. The courtyard was filled with empty bottles and cardboard boxes, as well as an old three-wheeled bicycle.

When the Liao sisters first arrived, the old lady was packing up the cardboard boxes. There was also a three or four-year-old child sitting under the roof, licking a lollipop.

When he saw Liao Jiake and the rest, he couldn’t even take out a decent stool. The Shuangqi siblings and Tingjiu’s group went to visit the disabled old man in the village. They gave them some warmth and chatted with them to relieve their boredom.

Seeing that each of the four families selected by the production team had their own difficulties, the audience had a huge realization.

[Isn’t this a retirement island? I’m old too. Don’t play the elderly card with me.

Boohoo.]

[When I was young, one lollipop could make me happy for an entire day. Fortunately, there are some children to accompany the old people and relieve their boredom.]

[This episode really makes me cry. I originally thought that they could earn a lot of money from fishing at sea and that this village should be quite rich. I didn’t expect there to be so many impoverished families here.]

[The people in front, although they live near the sea, not all of them can go out to sea to fish. For example, those old people and disabled families, even if they want to go out to sea, they can’t do anything.]

[I hope that young people who go out to work can come home more often during the holidays. Call home more often. Even if you’re not by their side, you have to care about your parents’ health.]

The afternoon visit was indeed meaningful, and time passed quickly.

After completing this mission, the guests went home to prepare dinner.

However, after Meng Chuyuan’s group got off the uncle’s boat, they ran straight to settle the matter of buying the boat for the uncle. After all, their time was limited, so they wanted to help the uncle settle the matter of the boat before leaving.

Lu Jinsen asked the experienced fishermen about where he could buy a boat and what procedures he needed to go through.

Meng Chuyuan went to look for the person in charge of the village and reported her thoughts and the uncle’s personal situation to the person in charge, hoping that they could help.

However, she knew that the application for subsidies needed to be approved and the time for the approvable was uncertain. However, in order to appease the uncle first, Meng Chuyuan asked the cadres in the village to cooperate with her.

Hearing that Meng Chuyuan was willing to help the troubled fishermen, the person in charge of the village was quite happy and was very willing to cooperate.

The person-in-charge: “Elder Liang is indeed quite bitter, but he’s also really stubborn. We’ve done a lot of planning for him, but it’s useless. Previously, we’ve asked him if he wanted to build a house and go out to sea to fish with everyone, but he rejected us.”

There were not many people who used those old fishing boats to go out to sea now. Moreover, Elder Liang treated the boat as his own home. Even if it was old and tattered, he was unwilling to move on from it.

Now that he had relented to Meng Chuyuan, he guessed that she must have put in a lot of effort.

“We can build a shelter or something and arrange for them to live together to avoid any unexpected situations.”

Meng Chuyuan felt that it was okay even if they did not build a house for them, as long as they still had a place to stay on land.

Otherwise, if something really happened, other fishermen like Elder Liang would have nowhere to go on land.

[Sister Meng is too considerate. I think we should build such a house and give a temporary shelter to fishermen like Uncle.]

[Sisters in front, hotels cost money, hahaha. However, building such a safe haven also costs a lot of money. You have to consider this realistically. However, it will definitely be much better with funding. There’s no need to talk about how well it’s built, as long as it’s good enough to sleep well and take a hot shower.]

[That’s right, that’s right. Do you have any crowdfunding channels? I want to do my best to help too.]

[That’s right. As a public service worker, promoting this to the public can increase public awareness of such a place and such a group of people.]

[Wuwuwu, the world is filled with love. So that’s how it is..]
