Chapter 881: Help the urgent, not the poor

After the two of them finished discussing various matters regarding the pharmaceutical factory, Wu Dong asked Wang An with great confusion:

"How come I find you so proficient in doing business? I feel like you're even better than those economists."

Wang An was stunned upon hearing this. The main thing was that Wang An dared not say he had been reborn, and his business thinking was ahead of this era.

Thus, Wang An chuckled and lied directly:

"No way around it, it's mainly because my brain is sharp. No matter what kind of thing it is, as long as I ponder it a little, I can make it seriously awesome."

Wu Dong rolled his eyes at Wang An upon hearing this and said:

"Cut the crap, I even suspect you aren't human at all."

Wang An just laughed and didn't continue to argue with Wu Dong about this matter.

Seeing that Wang An didn't pick up on his words at all, Wu Dong said helplessly:

"Speak, what business do you have coming to the county seat? It surely isn't because of the pharmaceutical factory, right?"

Wang An said with a grin:

"Yup, it has to be my Brother Wu who understands me. Hehehe, there is indeed a small matter."

Wu Dong rolled his eyes at Wang An and said:

"Don't talk about whether the matter is big or small yet. I see that smile of yours and it doesn't look like a good one. Let me hear what you have to say first."

It must be said that Wu Dong had also become smarter, knowing how to leave himself some leeway.

Wang An didn't pay attention to Wu Dong's attitude and continued to say with a smile:

"There's this matter: my younger brother Wang Yi has a classmate whose family background is quite complicated. She studies seriously well; this time in the middle school entrance exam, she ranked 31st, but the County No. 1 Middle School is only recruiting 30 people from our township this time..."

Immediately after, Wang An told the whole story about Gu Xiaoshuang completely.

After listening, Wu Dong was dumbfounded for a while, then couldn't help but curse:

"Oh, damn it all to hell. There really is all sorts of shit in this world. If it were me, I'd just lock up that bastard of a stepfather who lacks all virtue, along with that shitty older brother, and let them dream their beautiful dreams all day long. Damn it, those lazy bums."

Although Wang An was also very angry about this kind of thing, he still retorted:

"Locking them up isn't a solution either. The reason she found a stepfather was to survive. If she has such a bastard of a father, the three of them—mother and daughters—can still eat. If that bastard father were gone, what would you have the three of them do in the future? Continue to have one meal but not the next?"

These words Wang An said were the most practical.

Because in the face of survival, things like dignity, shame, being a coward, or this and that are all just bullshit.

If you can't even survive, what else is it but bullshit to demand these things?

The main thing is, in this world, where is there so much selfless dedication?

If you think about it carefully, the stepfather of Wang Yi's classmate—that is, Gu Xiaoshuang's stepfather—wanting to marry Gu Xiaoshuang to his own foolish son actually doesn't have much wrong with it.

Why should he support Gu Xiaoshuang and her mother and siblings for nothing?

He paid out, and then wants to demand a return; it is actually very normal, just a matter of human nature.

Although doing this is equivalent to ruining Gu Xiaoshuang's life, for his own foolish son, it is equivalent to having a guarantee for a lifetime.

So many things are not as simple as they appear. It is also because of this that Wang An chose to find a way to help Gu Xiaoshuang attend County No. 1 Middle School, rather than stupidly going to find trouble with Gu Xiaoshuang's stepfather.

As an outsider, without the ability to solve the substantive problem—that is, the survival problem of Gu Xiaoshuang and her mother and siblings—or even if one has the ability but is unable to help, or to put it bluntly, doesn't want to solve it, all accusations and scolding are pale and powerless. After Wang An finished speaking, he saw Wu Dong open his mouth twice to say something, but in the end, he shut his mouth in frustration.

No way around it, Wu Dong was also unable to help. To be precise, it was impossible for him to personally come forward to solve the survival problem of Gu Xiaoshuang and her mother and siblings.

At the same time, he had no power or qualification to dictate what Gu Xiaoshuang's stepfather should do or what issues to address.

Looking at Wu Dong's expression of indignation yet helplessness, Wang An said with a smile:

"Alright, my Brother Wu, stop pondering about saving the world by yourself. You can't save it, hahahaha."

It must be said that Wang An's sarcastic tone was seriously quite infuriating.

Therefore, Wu Dong snapped at Wang An with annoyance:

"Then you help this widow return to the city today, and tomorrow you help that sister settle down and find a job, why don't you help those three?"

Wang An, who was laughing at Wu Dong, couldn't laugh anymore upon hearing this.

The main thing was that the two matters Wu Dong mentioned—one was the matter of Lu Yueyue, and the other was the matter of the sisters Fang Xiue and Fang Xiuying—were both handled with Wu Dong's help.

After pondering for a while, Wang An said:

"I help them, but that's just one thing, not a lifetime matter. Like I said, I 'help the urgent, not the poor,' don't talk nonsense."

Wu Dong rolled his eyes at Wang An and didn't continue to argue with him. He glanced at his watch and said:

"Let's go, we're going straight to County No. 1 Middle School to find the principal. Damn it, I must make him invite the person directly to their school."

It must be said that in this regard, Wu Dong was indeed domineering enough, as if the school were opened by him.

After Wu Dong finished speaking, Wang An asked subconsciously:

"The school is on summer break now, doesn't the principal take a break?"

Who knew Wu Dong would say nonchalantly:

"It's fine, if he's not at school, we'll go to his house. His house isn't far from the school."

Wang An asked with surprise upon hearing this:

"How come you know everything, even where the principal lives?"

Wu Dong was stunned for a moment, then used his left thumb to point at his left index, middle, and ring fingers one by one, and said with a pretentious look:

"No way around it, it's mainly because my brain is sharp. If I want to know something, I just pinch my fingers and calculate it."

Seeing Wu Dong's act and movements, and hearing these familiar words, Wang An was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into a loud "Hahahaha."

And Wu Dong himself couldn't help but laugh.

And don't say, Wu Dong's method of "using their own way to treat them" was seriously quite convincing.

As they talked, Wu Dong and Wang An walked out of the house together.

Walking to Wang An's sidecar, Wu Dong sat directly in the sidecar. Wang An kicked the sidecar to life, and the two of them headed to County No. 1 Middle School together.

As for County No. 1 Middle School, Wang An was more than familiar with it. And in this era, schools wouldn't lock the main gate during breaks, so Wang An parked the sidecar directly at the door of the principal's office.

Thanks to "Emperor of the Great Empire" for the tip, thank you, thank you!
