Elder Zhang patted Zhang Lingmei on the back, comforting her, "My tears are not of sorrow but of overwhelming joy. You have been fortunate to encounter a truly good person."
Zhang Lingmei looked back at Chu Qingzhi, who was heading toward the charitable hall, and said, "Grandpa, we understand. We will always remember the kindness sister has shown us."
Nodding in agreement, Elder Zhang urged, "Go on and eat now. Make sure to call the lady over as well."
"I've already invited them, but sister said they've eaten already and insisted that we should eat first," Zhang Lingmei informed him.
"Then you should eat quickly and help out afterward," Elder Zhang suggested.
"Understood," Zhang Lingmei replied.
At the charitable hall, Chu Qingzhi, alongside the construction team, surveyed the site, aiming to start work as swiftly as possible to provide the children with a secure place to live.
