The elderly couple, Zhou Xiongguang and his wife, didn't care about any of that; they didn't contribute any money.

Without saying a word, she drove the old lady to the hospital, saving her life.
From then on, the Zhang family regarded Song Fanxing as their benefactor. If anyone spoke ill of Song Fanxing behind her back, the Zhang family would be the first to object.
