Chapter Summary
People always say that land for construction in the city is scarce, yet that place has such a large artificial lake that outsiders don't even know about. Anyway, that's how some things are; the common people don't know about things that the upper class has been enjoying for a long time. I don't know how I'm going to be able to settle my mind in the future." Liu Ning never expected that his plan to bring his mother to broaden her horizons would end like this.
Liu Ning, true to his word, took his family on a stroll around the city the very next day, visiting some of the more unusual places. Of course, these places weren't anything special to Liu Ning, as he was used to them. The only one who found them truly remarkable was Liu Ning's mother. It was because of this that she learned such places existed in the city, which was quite astonishing. For example, the casino. People always say that land for construction in the city is scarce, yet that place has such a large artificial lake that outsiders don't even know about. It's hard to imagine how the city was planned in the first place. Anyway, that's how some things are; the common people don't know about things that the upper class has been enjoying for a long time.
"Please don't bring me to places like this again. I feel like I can't even accept it anymore. Although we're living a better life now, there are still many people in this city who aren't doing so well. You can see our neighbors around us; their lives are really tough. Seeing so many rich people living like this makes me uncomfortable. If I could, I really wouldn't want to see all this. Look at how wasteful they are! How can we eat like this? One meal is enough to open a supermarket. Do you know how many people dream of owning a supermarket? Now that these people are living like this, I'm starting to lose faith in society. I don't know how I'm going to be able to settle my mind in the future."
Liu Ning never expected that his plan to bring his mother to broaden her horizons would end like this. It's understandable, though; his mother had always lived in a slum. Although she had enjoyed many blessings with Liu Ning, she was still a frugal and simple person at heart. There were some things his mother couldn't accept, such as living in such a place. He knew she could never accept it. Because of this, he had to be obedient. If he forced his mother to live in such an environment, she probably wouldn't be able to survive. Suddenly, Liu Ning remembered something else. If his mother truly pitied those people, she could start a charity foundation and open a supermarket to help Zhang Jing. His mother needed a career, and he was fully capable of doing so.
“Mother, if you have this idea, we can start a charity specifically to help those living in poverty. Besides, I have the ability to do so now. If you don’t know how to run it, I can find someone to help you. As long as we can set up the charity, there are still people in the city who will give us face. When they donate money and goods, our charity can operate. In addition, I will also set aside some money and put it all in the bank. The annual interest is not a small amount. It can definitely help you do something, at least helping our friends around us. Don’t you think their lives are difficult? We can definitely help them in this way.”
Once Liu Ning had this idea, it immediately became an unstoppable force. In Liu Ning's view, his mother could fully contribute her remaining energy. If she always stayed at home, it wouldn't be good for her physical and mental health. His mother wasn't that old; she used to be able to help his cousin Yaqing with her child, but now that Yaqing was living a quiet life with Sun Qiang, his mother's life had become quite empty. Sun Min was already a grown woman and didn't need anyone to take care of his mother. Things had become so mundane. Liu Ning could find something for his mother to do, and a charitable foundation was a good idea. If managed well, it could bring many benefits in the future, especially for Liu Ning, who had now entered politics and could certainly do so.
Upon hearing the term "charity association," the mother's face showed doubt. Although she had heard of such things before, she knew they were expensive, practically just giving money away. Even though we were doing quite well now, the mother still had some reservations. We couldn't just give away our own things, could we? That would be incredibly wasteful. So, the mother felt a little uneasy. Of course, she supported the idea. If her son had this intention, we should help him. Besides, she really wanted to help her old neighbors. We had lived together all our lives; we had become wealthy, but they were still struggling on the poverty line.
Liu Ning could tell from his mother's expression that she was worried, mainly about the money. Liu Ning was quite powerful and had a certain status in the city, so his mother was concerned about another issue: if Liu Ning invested a lot of money here, how would he increase his strength and equipment? If he couldn't achieve these things, it would be a sin for his mother. Her life's most important thing was to watch her son grow up, and if she interfered with his life because of his hobby, she would definitely not forgive him. Liu Ning understood what was going on and knew he had to dispel his mother's concerns in this regard.
"Don't worry, it's just a small charity organization. It's nothing to me. As long as I'm doing well, this charity will never lack money. You can rest assured about that. If you're still worried, I've already made it very clear to you: we use the bank interest for charity, so it doesn't interfere with our assets. If I need money, we can simply close it temporarily. Isn't that what all charities do these days? When they're short of funds, they adopt a policy of appeasement. We can do the same. That way, we can get through the difficulties. After we get through the difficulties, our charity can reopen!"
Liu Ning comforted his mother with a smile.
