Chapter 88 The prelude to a broken beginning.
Lou Rouer could be said to be in a very good mood.
For so long she dreamed of helping the needy, but she didn't have enough money to buy the things to donate.
But Su Chen gave her an opportunity, the massive double-decker long truck that she was driving was full of supplies.
With this, she was sure her long dream to help the common public will be fulfilled.
As for why Su Chen himself didn't distribute these supplies?…. She didn't care.
In her biased eyes, How can a rich scummy second generation be willing to do such a generous and noble task?
After driving for 10 minutes straight on the broken road, she finally arrived at the entrance of the village.
There were some small children playing on the road, forcing her to halt the truck altogether.
Her lips arched up.
In delight, she pressed brakes and got out of the truck to greet the little children.
The kids playing were mostly of the 7-9 age group.
The small group of 11 children that were playing hopscotch on the road were taken aback on seeing such an enormous truck.
"Wow, what a big truck, does it contain those super racing cars we watched on the television?"
One of the eldest girls, who took the lead to speak was the first to exclaim.
"Yes, this truck is moving so slowly. It must be fully loaded, that's why it is going so slowly so that the things inside are not damaged."
Another boy gave his analysis.
Following those two, the other kids too started gossiping about what the truck was carrying.
Under their excited eyes, Lou Rouer slowly started approaching them.
"Hello sweet children, How are you all doing?"
With a smile unique to a big sister, she stepped closer to the girl who seemed the eldest out of the group.
Her warm hands rubbed the girl's messy head as she examined each of the kids.
'Hmmm, these little children seem so malnourished, with these supplies their food problem should be solved for at least a month', Lou Rouer nodded in agreement to her thoughts.
The girl whose messy hair was rubbed could feel the friendly gesture Lou Rouer was trying to convey.
But in the end, the other party was still a stranger.
So after some seconds, she separated and vigilantly backed off some steps.
Since she was the eldest in the group, the girl thought it was her responsibility to take command of the situation.
She was like a leader of their small group.
"Sister, who are you?"
"Your hips and butts are in such a good shape."
"Hello, it is the first time I am seeing such a beautiful sister in our village!"
"And, What's in that big truck? Does it contain those expensive racing cars?"
Unable to hide her thoughts, the eldest girl spoke everything in one go.
There was vigilance unique to a careful person yet her words were filled with a sense of curiosity and enquiry when seeing something new.
She carefully lowered Lou Rouer's guard by praising her appearance, and at the same time tried to build a warm relation between them by greeting in an ambiguous way, and lastly, to conclude, she questioned her about the thing they wanted to know the most.
It was a shrewd way of words.
This is not how a normal kid who has a pure heart speaks.
Such maturity can only be obtained when one has seen the bad side of the world.
Lou Rouer's guard was successfully lowered, she thought that these little guys were curious….. Just like how a kid is when he sees a new toy, their condition was similar.
Her ego was already boosted when she was told how beautiful her looks were.
"Hehe, yes thanks for telling how beautiful I am!"
"Your big sister is called Lou Rouer."
"Today, I brought this big truck along with me."
"Although, it doesn't have those luxurious sports cars you spoke of….."
Taking a playful pause she continued,
"It is filled with something much better."
Hearing her, the eyes of the children started shining.
They realised something very valuable was inside that truck.
"Sister, quickly tell what is inside?"
Asked one of the boys.
"Haha, yes this truck is filled with lots of food."
"Vegetables, rice, wheat, pulses, bread, frozen meat, fruits, sugar, salt, everything important is lined up inside in big jute bags."
"Your elder sister had always wanted to help pure hearted little angels like you."
"By luck, I finally got the chance and was able to bring everything here."
"I have already calculated, with these supplies….for an entire month, the entire village can eat to the fullest."
"From tomorrow morning, you guys will eat lots of delicious things that you only watched on television before."
"Yes, everything inside will belong to you villagers!"
Lou Rouer declared proudly.
"Really?"
"We….We can also eat rice and even eat those tasty juicy fruits?"
The group burst into a jubilant mood upon hearing Lou Rouer's sweet words.
Suddenly, the eldest girl who was the leader of the small group called everyone near her and formed a little circle as they continuously whispered something.
They spoke very secretively, making sure Lou Rouer could hear nothing.
Lou Rouer, who still couldn't see the gravity of the situation, just thought they were very happy.
After that, out of the group of 11, 9 kids quickly ran to the village while only the eldest girl along with a boy were left.
Seeing Lou Rouer's confusion, they spoke quickly.
"Sister,?don't worry! They had just gone to call out all the villagers in advance."
"Yes, it would be hard for you to individually call out everyone from their respective house to distribute supplies, that's why we took the lead to help you", spoke the young boy who was left with the eldest girl.
"I see!"
Lou Rouer's mood was further uplifted.
'See, how kind-hearted and simple-minded they are, Su Chen!'
'These people are the real future of our country, not those spoiled-city kids who have grown up in rich households, who only know how to spend their parent's money!'
-Lou Rouer remembered how Su Chen tried to shake her belief earlier. Her favourability for him dropped significantly.
