Just then, Wan Qiqi took out a money pouch from her sleeve, handed it over, and said, "This is a reward that Manager Zhu and I have decided to give you based on your performance. We hope you will work hard in the future and strive to do even better!"
Si Xi was stunned once again, her eyes filled with disbelief, and her outstretched hand trembled slightly, as if she couldn't quite believe it.
The money bag filled with copper coins felt heavy in her hand, and she realized it was real.
"Here are two strings of cash. Keep them safe. You can use them to buy some good things for your grandmother to help her recover." Wan Qiqi smiled faintly.
Sixi was a clever child, and this one sentence made her realize that the two shopkeepers knew about her family's situation, which was why they gave her this money as a reward.
For a moment, she felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

Si Xi finally managed a faint smile and said, "Thank you, Manager Wan, and thank you, Manager Zhu."
"Alright, you can continue with your work! I won't bother you anymore!" Wan Qiqi said, showing no intention of leaving.
Si Xi understood, carefully put away the money bag, and left on his own.
Wu Gousheng then emerged from the shadows and said, "Why do I feel like she's changed? She seems different from before?"
Wan Qiqi glanced at him sideways and said, "If you can see it, how could I not?"
She looked at the spot where the figure disappeared, sighed softly, and said, "Reality is always cruel. We are not saints, and we cannot do everything perfectly."
Wu Gousheng nodded as if he understood, and said, "Sister Qi, your words are becoming more and more profound!"
As the two were talking, Erpang suddenly ran in and said, "Sister Qi, Young Master Feng is here!"
