Chapter 474 - Various Identities (1/2)
They happen to learn from the villagers that the school in the village was abandoned two years ago. With all the young people working outside, those who are capable have bought houses in the city and taken their children with them.
Without any students to recruit, the school in the village can’t continue to operate and is merged with the school in town.
Now, a dozen students from the village have gone to school in the town five kilometers away. And their family members send them there in the morning and pick them up in the evening, while they have lunch at school every day.
After learning of this situation, Xiao Xiaopan goes to the school in the town and donates one million yuan.
For a school in the mountain, one million yuan is a great amount of money. After Xiao Xiaopan transfers the huge amount of money to the school, the principal, who is moved to tears instantly, immediately decides to change the name of Yanggou Town Primary School to Panpan Primary School.
This name implies that after receiving this huge sum of money, all the students and teachers there will have great things to look forward to in the future.
After doing this, Xiao Xiaopan is very happy. The next day, when Li Yong and Xiao Xiaopan take the cripple and Widow Wang to buy clothes in the town, they see that the name of the school has been changed to Panpan Primary School.
A red banner is pulled up at the entrance of the school, which reads, “All the teachers and students of Panpan Primary School are extremely grateful to Mr. Li Yong and Ms. Xiao Xiaopan for their great sponsorship. And all of this money will be used on the students.”
There aren’t any good clothes in the dilapidated town. So Li Yong picks the most expensive ones, which are about to cost two hundred yuan each.
This is the first time Li Yong has bought clothes for the cripple and Widow Wang. And he not only buys clothes for summer and autumn seasons but also the ones for winter. Since he rarely comes back, he doesn’t know when he will come back next time.
After buying the clothes, they go to eat at the best restaurant in town, where the food is cheap and the waiters are very warm.
Now, Li Yong and Xiao Xiaopan are respected wherever they go. The roads in the town are narrow, which are filled with stalls on both sides. Even the police from the police station in town come over to help him clear the road and escort him as if they were serving a great leader.
Li Yong wonders why the police here are so nice.
After the roads are cleared, Li Yong knows that it turns out that the director of the police station wants him and Xiao Xiaopan to donate some money to the police station as well. They both have become celebrities in the town because they donated one million yuan to the primary school.
Now, one million yuan is nothing to Li Yong. However, if Li Yong proactively does the donation, he will have no complaints. However, the director of the police station is asking him to donate some, which is somewhat an annoyance.
However, after thinking about it, Li Yong doesn’t refuse.
He talks to the middle-aged director who keeps smoking. In the end, he donates one million yuan to the police station in town. And the director of the police station will build a guard pavilion and install cameras in front of his house. Moreover, he will even send police officers to guard there day and night.
Li Yong does so for the safety of the cripple and Widow Wang. And now that his identity has been exposed, the bad guys will turn to his loved ones if they can’t hurt him.
Back home, Li Yong puts the two strings of rare jade stones around the necks of the cripple and Widow Wang respectively. Then he gives the cripple a bank card with five million yuan inside. As the cripple raised him, he must have suffered a lot of hardships. And this is Li Yong’s reward for him, which is to make the cripple and Widow Wang enjoy the rest of their lives in peace.
Li Yong laughs and asks, “Uncle, did you and Auntie Wang get a certificate?”
“We’re both so old. What’s the point of getting a certificate?” The cripple laughs stupidly.
“Could it be that you want to find another wife?” Li Yong makes a joke.
Seeing Widow Wang’s staring eyes, the cripple hurriedly says, “Of course not! I only have Wang Lanlan on my mind.”
“Then you should go with me to the city to get a certificate tomorrow,” Widow Wang named Wang Lanlan, says immediately.
“We’re both so old. Do I need that f*cking certificate to prove my feelings for you?”
Widow Wang, however, is uneasy and insists on getting a certificate. In the past, when the cripple wanted to marry her, she wasn’t quite happy about it. That was because the cripple was not only poor but also physically disabled. And she thought that she would not have a good life with him.
Now, the cripple is no longer disabled. And he has built the most beautiful building in the village. Moreover, he has a bank card in his hand with five million yuan inside. Now the cripple is a golden bachelor. And Widow Wang is afraid that the cripple won’t like her anymore.
The next day, Li Yong and Xiao Xiaopan take the cripple and Widow Wang to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the city to get a marriage certificate.
On the way, Xiao Xiaopan always stares at Li Yong affectionately and distractedly, which Li Yong finds strange.
It isn’t until they arrive at the Civil Affairs Bureau and the cripple takes out the IDs he has prepared that Li Yong is enlightened. It turns out that the cripple wants him and Xiao Xiaopan to get a marriage certificate as well so that they can enjoy the blessings together.
If Li Yong, Xiao Xiaopan, the cripple, and Widow Wang get the marriage certificates together, there will be two happy events.
Xiao Xiaopan must have known about this beforehand. And they are all hiding it from him.
Seeing that Li Yong is hesitant, Xiao Xiaopan hurriedly says, “Uncle, we are still young. There is no hurry. We have plenty of time ahead. The purpose of coming here today is to get you a certificate. So don’t worry about us.”
The cripple also notices Li Yong’s hesitation. And he dares not force or persuade him. When Li Yong was little, he obeyed Li Yong in everything. And now that Li Yong has grown up and been successful, he is even more likely to let him make all the decisions.
He hurriedly smiles and says, “Good. Then we’ll go ahead and get in line.”
After the cripple and Widow Wang leave, only then does Li Yong face Xiao Xiaopan and say seriously, “Xiaopan, you know that I have married Han Lu. Huaxia is monogamous, so I can’t get another marriage certificate with you.”
“Well. It’s okay.” Xiao Xiaopan smiles lightly. And gray lights of disappointment flash across her eyes.
“If you don’t mind, I can use another ID card to get a marriage certificate with you.”
