August 13th.

Uncle Qian brought Lin Xue's share to Qingshan Village.

"This is the profit share from our small corn thresher last month. I was thinking that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up soon, so I brought you the previous dividends!"

"And these mooncakes and such, your aunt prepared them!"

"It's just a small token of our appreciation, you must accept it!"

Uncle Qian placed the money on the table, while casually placing the gifts on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Brother Qian, here, have some water!"

Lin Cuihua offered Uncle Qian some water. It wasn't until today that she learned her daughter had business dealings with a repairman surnamed Qian.

This was the first time I'd heard from Uncle Qian that the idea for this small corn thresher came from his daughter.

Lin Cuihua felt both proud and moved.

Uncle Qian said that the reason this small corn thresher was manufactured was because his daughter felt sorry for her working so hard husking corn all by herself.

Think about that tricycle in the yard; it was made by my daughter because she felt sorry for how hard I worked on the farm.

This small corn thresher is also the work of the young woman.

Lin Cuihua felt that all her efforts over the years had been worthwhile!

"My daughter is so filial. She didn't mention such a big thing to me at all before!"

Lin Cuihua washed a few more apples and placed them on the kang table, then gave her daughter a slightly reproachful look.

"We don't know if it will work out yet. If I tell you too early, wouldn't I just be causing you unnecessary trouble?"

Lin Xue laughed it off, not daring to admit that she hadn't taken the matter to heart at all.

Who would have thought Uncle Qian would be so helpful, selling more than 500 units in just over a month.

Most of these are wholesale purchases from other towns and villages, while a small portion is purchased by local residents themselves.

In about 10 more days, the corn will be ready for harvest.

I estimate that even more people will buy it then!

Lin Cuihua and her daughter wanted to invite Uncle Qian to stay for dinner, but he insisted on leaving.

He said that the production over there needed to be increased, and that the short time he had been out had already taken up a lot of time, so he had to go back immediately to check on things.

Finally, at the enthusiastic urging of Lin Xue and her mother, Uncle Qian drove his little truck and bumped his way out of Qingshan Village.

After Uncle Qian left, Lin Cuihua gave Lin Xue another lecture.

I didn't dare say too much, worried that my daughter was sensitive and that it would hurt her self-esteem.

However, when she thought about the thick wad of money that the Qian family had sent, Lin Cuihua felt that there was hope for the future.

With this 2,500 yuan, it's enough for my daughter to take medicine for a long time.

Although my daughter hasn't had any recent illnesses, she's been taking medication to maintain her health without interruption.

Every night, Lin Cuihua would make sure Lin Xue finished eating before letting her go to sleep.

Perhaps taking your daughter for a follow-up examination would be a good option.

After all, Xiaoxue hasn't had a relapse in the past month or so, and hasn't even had a cold or fever.

Lin Xue didn't think as much as Lin Cuihua did; she didn't even take the money and asked Lin Cuihua to keep it for her.

Anyway, she knew where her mother kept the money, and Lin Cuihua never said anything when she took money to spend.

Lin Cuihua kept her money in different places: small change was kept under the TV mat, while larger sums were kept at the bottom of drawers.

Lin Cuihua pulled out the bottom drawer of the cabinet, where there was a recessed groove. She put the money in the jar, then placed it in the groove, and finally put the drawer back.

No one expected that the Lin family's money would be hidden in such a place.

Of course, sometimes they would move to different places, such as behind the New Year picture, above the window frame, or inside a wall hole!

The mother and daughter originally thought that this was the end of it, since no one else had given them gifts every year.

Neither of them had any relatives. Lin Cuihua's parents had passed away, and her other siblings had long since cut off contact with her, fearing that Lin Cuihua would be a burden to them with a child in tow.

The husband's side of the village doesn't have much contact with his family on a regular basis.

Aside from weddings and funerals, they almost never go there.

Therefore, it was truly not easy for Lin Cuihua to raise Lin Xue to adulthood.

Nobody was willing to lend a hand. Apart from Aunt Li from next door who would often come over to help, the other relatives in the village acted as if they didn't see it at all.

They would only come to invite the Lin family when they needed to give gifts.

Even if you bump into someone on the street, you might not remember to greet them.

Fortunately, Lin Cuihua is a generous and strong-willed person.

Now that her daughter is all grown up and in better health, she truly feels that her good fortune is about to arrive.

August 14.

The village chief arrived at the Lin family's house with 50 yuan for two rolls of mooncakes and a bag of sweet pears.

He was accompanied by the village chief's wife and Li Xiujuan.

Neither Lin Xue nor Lin Cuihua expected that the old village chief would send their family holiday gifts.

The 50 yuan was a reward given to Lin Xue by the village, to be considered as her wages for painting the mural.

To be honest, this amount of money isn't much, but the brigade headquarters doesn't have much money in its accounts either.

It was only after the old village chief had exhausted all his efforts that these applications were approved.

Lin Xue didn't mind that the money was too little; she happily accepted it and expressed her gratitude to the village chief and his family.

In villages, such work is usually done voluntarily, and most of the time there is no reward.

The village chief is already being very generous by giving her 50 yuan.

On the evening of August 14th.

Uncle Ge, along with Aunt Ge and the eldest son of the Ge family, also arrived at the Lin family's house carrying a bag of apples.
