Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Birth_1

Although relief grains were dispatched from above, by the time they reached the hands of the disaster victims, there wasn’t much left.

Many people could only gnaw on tree bark, eat insects, etc....

Just when everyone thought they would starve to death, trucks arrived, and workers started distributing supplies at the head of the village.

Rice, flour, oil, they had everything you could think of.

Even though the share for each household wasn’t much, it was at least enough to last until the next season’s crops matured.

Only then did the villagers realize that the donations came from two factories, Jiehao Clothing Factory and NX Cosmetics Factory.

Why did those two factories sound so familiar?

Finally, a villager remembered, "Mrs. Cheng, aren’t these two factories owned by your daughter and your son-in-law’s family?"

"Yes," Mrs. Cheng nodded her head.

"Oh my, your family really are great people!

The villagers were overflowing with gratitude.

Not just them, but several other severely affected areas also received donations from Xia Jiehao and Mrs. Xia.

However, their resources were finite, and they couldn’t look after everyone, only managing to deliver supplies to places where the disaster was severe.

Everyone thought many would still starve, but unexpectedly, the higher-ups got wind of it. The main news broadcast even praised the two factories by name, and they were given tax breaks, to encourage other wealthy individuals to donate as well.

The newspapers heavily promoted the story.

Seeing this, other entrepreneurs and factory owners, as if injected with adrenaline, also began to donate money and goods to the disaster areas.

It was now the nineties, and there were big bosses and factories everywhere. As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and even though hundreds of thousands were expected to perish in the famine depicted in the books, not a single person died of hunger now.

Once the famine was over, those factories and enterprises that donated goods cemented a good image in the public’s heart, especially the two Xia family factories. Let alone the fact that they donated the most funds and goods, the most important thing was they were the first to extend a helping hand.

Unlike other businesses that were attracted by the promise of tax cuts.

Therefore, when NX Cosmetic stores opened across the country later on, their sales skyrocketed.

After making money, the Xia family didn’t forget their original intentions and continued to donate a substantial amount each year to various public welfare initiatives, whether building Hope Schools in impoverished areas, paving roads in mountainous regions or planting trees in the desert... and more.

In those days, few were engaged in charity and public welfare, not to mention such acts without any return. Soon, the two Xia family factories became highly acclaimed.

The same went for the big boss’s family.

Later on, many other enterprises and factories began to emulate them, also engaging in public welfare and charity.

But that’s another story.

...

After the famine was over, Mrs. Xia, who had been pregnant for ten months, was also about to enter the operating room to give birth.

Perhaps it was because they had done good deeds that Mrs. Xia’s childbirth went very smoothly and wasn’t too painful.

"Wah!"

The most wonderful sound at that time was probably the first cry of a baby at birth.

The little fellow was successfully born, weighing eight pounds, a chubby baby boy.

Unlike other newborns who are all wrinkled up like little monkeys, he was clean and white, and surprisingly, his eyes were already open, clear and distinct, reflecting a silhouette, looking utterly adorable.

"Little brother!"

The moment Xia Ningxing saw him, she felt an inexplicable sense of kinship flooding her chest, filled with joy, and held him in her arms."
