Chapter 205 Everyone's Gratitude
"Aunt Wang, you still have 1,500 wen, which is the agreed fee for using your cow, 20 wen a day. I almost forgot to give it to you just now." Su Panpan said to Aunt Wang with an embarrassed smile.
When Aunt Wang heard that there was an extra 1,500 coins, she burst into tears immediately.
She wiped her tears and said, "Panpan, thank you! The old couple in my family are in poor health and have to take medicine all year round. They rely on me and your Uncle Xiao to make some money, and all the money will be spent before the end of the month. You pay a high salary this time, which will allow our family to live a comfortable life. You really have a kind heart. May everything go well for you in the future!" After she finished speaking, tears were about to flow again.
Uncle Xiao also stood up immediately and walked to Su Panpan. His weather-beaten face was full of emotion.
Uncle Xiao's hands trembled slightly as he held Su Panpan's hand tightly, his voice choking. "Yes, Panpan, you... this is truly a great kindness! We are a poor family, and life is very tight. We just hope to earn more money to provide food, clothing, and medicine for the elderly and children at home. Not only do you pay well, but you even remember the rent for our cow. You are really kind!"
As he spoke, Uncle Xiao's eyes reddened, tears welling up in them. He quickly wiped his eyes with his free hand and continued, "Your Aunt Wang and I don't have any special skills, so we can only work hard, tilling the land and so on. We originally thought we'd be content with a decent wage, but we didn't expect you to take care of us so well. Now that's great, we can buy more rice, flour, grain, and oil for the family, and get more good medicine for the two old people so they can take good care of themselves."
Uncle Xiao became more and more excited as he spoke, and suddenly he bowed deeply to Su Panpan, with his waist bent very low and not straightening up for a long time, as if he wanted to express his endless gratitude with this bow.
When Su Panpan saw Uncle Xiao's behavior, her eyes instantly turned red.
She quickly stretched out her hands, trying to support Uncle Xiao, and said anxiously: "Uncle Xiao, you can't do this, get up quickly, get up quickly!"
Her voice was a little flustered, yet full of emotion. Her hands moved gently yet with some force as she tried hard to help Uncle Xiao up.
Tears flashed in Su Panpan's eyes, and the tears were rolling in her eye sockets, and they could roll down at any time.
When Uncle Xiao finally stood up, Su Panpan held his hand tightly and responded with a trembling voice, "Uncle Xiao, you and Aunt Wang have helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, this job wouldn't have been completed so smoothly. I'm paying you what everyone deserves. Please don't be so polite. I really feel bad."
Seeing this, Liu Dazhuang also came over to thank Su Panpan.
He scratched his head, smiled innocently and said, "Panpan, you are so kind. My mother has been talking about wanting a new quilt. Now we have the money to buy her a new one, and we can also add some other things to the house. Thank you so much. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
Su Panpan looked at Liu Dazhuang, a warm smile on her face, and said, "Brother Dazhuang, I'm also very happy that you can buy some things for the family and make Auntie live a comfortable life. We are all from the same village, and it is only natural for us to help each other. But don't say such things as "do this, do that" anymore, it's too formal."
Several young men from the village also gathered around, expressing their gratitude one after another.
Shitou said, "Sister Panpan, your wages are just in time! I can save this money and go to town to learn a trade. I can also support my family after I learn a skill. We will always remember your kindness to us. If you need any help in the future, just give us a shout and we will definitely help you!"
Several other young men also nodded, expressing their gratitude to Su Panpan and their determination to serve with a firm look on their faces.
Hearing Shitou's words, she nodded repeatedly and responded with a smile: "Shitou, it's a great idea for you to have such a good idea. You will definitely have a bright future if you can learn a craft. You are all still young and have a long way to go. I am just doing my best to give back to you all."
"Yeah, I originally thought that just making a living and earning some odd wages would be enough, but I didn't expect that the wages you pay are so much higher than other families. Now, an old man like me can buy some candy for my grandson and buy some warm clothes for my wife."
"Yes, Sister Panpan, the salary you pay is high, which makes our family's life much more comfortable, and also provides money for the children's school textbooks."
"Yeah, the payment was made promptly. In the past, we had to wait until the day before the New Year to ask for it."
Everyone received much more wages than expected, and their hearts were filled with gratitude towards Su Panpan. They all expressed that they would do their best to help Su Panpan whenever she needed help in the future.
As Su Panpan listened to everyone's sincere words of gratitude, her eyes became red again and again.
Su Panpan responded to the other villagers' expressions of gratitude one by one.
Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was a little choked but very sincere: "My dear uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, it is a blessing for me that you can come to help me with the work. I know that it is not easy for everyone on weekdays, so I thought about giving you more wages so that everyone can live a better life. Let's just live in harmony and help each other!"
Zhou Youliang and Gao Qinqin sat quietly by the side, watching the touching scenes before them intently.
Zhou Youliang leaned back in his chair, shook his head slightly, and lowered his voice to Gao Qinqin beside him, "Look at Panpan, she's really kind and righteous. She pays so generously, and she's really good to everyone."
Gao Qinqin sipped her tea while following the excited villagers closely, nodding with approval. "Of course you do. You don't find such kindhearted people these days. Look at how grateful Uncle Xiao and the others are. You know Su Panpan must have been taking good care of us."
Zhou Youliang nodded repeatedly in agreement, leaning forward slightly. "Yes, take Dazhuang for example. He's usually so kind and honest, but he's so happy now that he can buy a new quilt for his mother. And those young men, they all have hope now too."
Gao Qinqin sighed softly, a gentle smile appearing on her face. "Yes, everyone's been living a tight life on weekdays. Now that we get these wages, our lives will improve a lot."
Mrs. Zhou, who was sitting next to her, also nodded vigorously. She was moved to tears by what Aunt Wang had just done.
After everyone exchanged greetings with Su Panpan for a while, they began to leave one after another.
Su Panpan stood up with a smile and hurriedly said, "Don't leave in a hurry, everyone. If you don't mind, take some of the leftovers on the table back with you." As she said that, she turned and walked to a table nearby.
