When Wen Nian spoke, Wen Yu was taken aback. "You have that much money? I was originally thinking of donating 1,000 yuan. I've saved some money from my part-time job at school, but it can't compare to what you're offering!"
Zhou Mei smiled and replied, "The amount is a gesture of my sincerity. Nian Nian has grown up, so you get the final say in this matter."
After dinner, Wen Nian returned to the bedroom and contacted Xu Chang to share the news of the donation.
"Wen Nian, you're incredibly kind!" Xu Chang was deeply touched. The public service advertisement had been the local station's initiative, and he, too, had been inspired by the children's thirst for knowledge.
Education, however, required funding, and state resources were limited. Additional support from the community was necessary.
Initially, Xu Chang was wondering if he should speak up and encourage people to donate. However, he did not expect Wen Nian to be the first to make a donation.
