She paused for a moment and then said, "These past months, it's been you, Auntie, leading me to work and looking out for me everywhere, which is why I've been able to fit into our village so quickly.
Moreover, you've taught me so much. I just want to express my gratitude; please don't refuse it."
Auntie Gao looked at her husband, the brigade leader, who then said, "Since it's the child's sincere gesture, we should accept it. Make sure you help her out more in the future."
Now that her husband had spoken, Auntie Gao still said, "But don't do this again in the future. You've finally got some nice things for yourself; use them to nourish your own body first. Look at how thin you are while just growing taller."
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "I understand. Anyway, thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Auntie Gao replied, "What's there to thank? Settling down in our village means you're one of us, a fellow villager—it's only right, isn't it?"
