“Sister, we’re returning this silver to you. We were the ones who tried to extort you. Shuanzi and I will remember your kindness in providing us with food and water for the rest of our lives. Please tell us your names, sister. If Shuanzi becomes successful in the future, I will make sure he repays your kindness.”
Liu Zheng did not refuse and accepted the silver.
"It was my niece who asked us to help you. Her name is Qin Luoluo. You can remember her name if you want!"
"Qin Luoluo, Qin Luoluo, is it the 'Luo' in 'fallen flower'?"
"Yes, it's the 'fallen' of 'fallen flowers'!"
Xinghua nodded emphatically: "I've got it!"
After saying that, he knelt down before Liu Zheng.
He kowtowed three times deeply before getting up and leaving.
Liu Zheng gave the ten taels of silver to Qin Luo.
"Luo Luo, could you secretly slip the silver into Xing Hua's bundle? She's a woman with a child all alone. If I don't get the silver back, she might not get far before she loses her life!"
Qin Luo teased her
"Doesn't Auntie feel bad? So much food, water, and silver!"
Liu Zheng pretended to be reluctant and covered her chest.
"Stop talking, it's making my chest hurt! It's your brother's fault for meddling! As elders, your uncle and I are naturally responsible for cleaning up his mess when we have the ability!"
Qin Luo knew that Liu Zheng's heartache was genuine.
But giving money was also a genuine intention.
He then promised to secretly slip the silver into Xinghua's bundle later!
Xinghua returned to Erniu's side and pulled out her and her child's household registration documents.
He also had a few taels of savings at home, which he wrapped in cloth and stuffed into his bosom!
She slapped him several more times, as if venting years of pent-up resentment…
Some people around her said Xinghua had gone mad, while others said she had become stupid.
Returning ten taels of silver so readily—only a madman or a fool would do such a thing.
Xinghua simply smiled slightly, ignoring those so-called clever people.
Carrying the packed bundle on her back and holding her son, she went to the old hunter's house.
Aunt Yu handed her two pancakes.
"Eat quickly! The child is hungry too!"
Xinghua gratefully accepted it
She fed her child while watching him through tears.
"Shuanzi, remember the people who helped us today. You must make something of yourself in the future, and we must repay them properly, understand?"
Three-year-old Xiaoshuanzi nodded his little head, looking somewhat bewildered.
Xinghua spread Erniu's old clothes on the ground and let Shuanzi sleep with the bundle as a pillow.
Shuanzi always felt something touching his little head.
Lie down and get up again, lie down and get up again!
Xinghua thought he was fussy and held him in her arms to comfort him.
Shuanzi pointed at the bundle and said, "Mother! It moved! The clothes moved!"
Xinghua opened the bundle with a puzzled look.
By the moonlight, I could see the ten taels of silver and a packet of milk candy in the bundle.
Xinghua touched the teeth marks on the silver; those were from Erniu's bite.
She hadn't expected Liu Zheng to secretly send the silver.
She carefully wrapped up the silver, her eyes red-rimmed, and fed Shuanzi a piece of candy.
Shuanzi's eyes lit up immediately.
"Mother, it's sweet~"
Xinghua hugged him and silently shed tears.
In the years that followed, Xinghua only ever talked about her daughter who had been sold.
It's about making him remember the kindness he received back then.
There was once a woman named Qin Luoluo who saved the lives of her and her son!
