Yan Jinhuai was taken aback by the box full of nutrient solution. Uncle Ye's family was quite large, including Grandma Ye, Uncle Ye, Aunt Ye, Xiaoyu, and two older brothers. The family of six relied entirely on Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye's work for their income.
This box of nutrient solution must be enough for their family's food supply for half a month. They must have brought everything they could from their home.
Yan Jin's heart was full, but she didn't have time to be moved. The burly man leaped onto the platform, looked at Yan Jin standing at the door, and gave her a hearty smile. "Jin girl, it's good that you're here. Here, this is the reward from the village for your bravery in saving Xiaoyu yesterday. Thank you for your courage and bravery."
"Well, Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye have already given me a thank-you gift."
"Uncle Ye and the others gave it to their travel agency, while what I gave was a reward from the village. It's unrelated. Please accept it. It's also to encourage unity and mutual assistance among the villagers and to contribute to the community," the burly man explained with a smile, his tough aura softening considerably with the smile.
He was impressed by the thin girl in front of him. What she showed yesterday made her a strong person. If she were to fight him seriously, he would definitely not be her match.
This realization did not make the burly man unhappy; on the contrary, it made him very happy. The more powerful people there were in the village, the safer the villagers would be, which was exactly what he wanted to see.
So when the burly man saw Yan Jin accept the star coins, he smiled and introduced himself, "You don't usually go out much, and you don't talk to anyone, so I suppose you're not very familiar with me. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Li Daqiang. You can call me Uncle Li when you see me in the future."
Yan Jin followed his lead and said, "Okay, Uncle Li."
"Hmm, someone told me yesterday that you caught a cuckoo bird a while ago?" Li Daqiang asked again.
"..." Yan Jin narrowed her eyes and remained silent.
Seeing this, Li Daqiang immediately explained, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do anything. As you can see, it's very difficult for us humans in this world. We can't even afford the most basic necessities of life. I was thinking that if possible, it would be good to find a way out for the villagers. If you don't want to, you don't have to force yourself."
Yan Jin just smiled and said, "Okay, if I open my heart that day, maybe I will tell you."
"Yes, I look forward to that day." Li Daqiang laughed, not making things difficult for Yan Jin, and said goodbye to her before turning and leaving.
Yan Jin closed the door and entered the room. She leaned back in the chair and stared blankly. When Xiao Bai saw Yan Jin like this, because of the soul contract, she could vaguely understand what Yan Jin was thinking at this moment.
Xiao Bai knelt down beside Yan Jin, placed her hands on Yan Jin's legs, buried her face in her hands, and looked at Yan Jin with her big eyes. "Sister, are you afraid that these people have ulterior motives?"
"..." Yan Jin was silent for a while before continuing, "That's part of the reason, but the bigger reason is, should I help them? I don't feel a sense of belonging."
Xiao Bai remained silent. Indeed, she didn't feel a sense of belonging here, and she felt that she wasn't passionate enough to help others without expecting anything in return.
Yan Jin suddenly laughed, "Forget it, whatever. Things will work themselves out. It's not something to rush."
Although she accepted that she would be living in interstellar space, she still felt adrift and was uncertain about what to do next.
