The womenâs department director nodded affirmatively. âYes, thatâs right.â
Chen Guihua held Zhuangzhuangâs hand. Zhuangzhuangâs current figure did not fit the meaning of his nickname. He was not strong at all. Instead, his thin face had a bad complexion, as if he was malnourished. Following that, Chen Guihua lowered her head, obviously still recovering from the shock.
On the contrary, Chen Guihua looked at the crowd with red eyes and a complicated expression. She took a step forward and knelt on the ground with a thud.
The villagers standing in the crowd were shocked and quickly took a few steps back.
âChen Guihua, whatâs wrong with you?â
âThatâs right. Donât scare us.â
âEverything is fine. Why are you kneeling?â
The unreasonable Chen Guihua would kneel to someone? Was she trying to blackmail them?
Someone came forward to pull Chen Guihua, but she refused to accept it. She knelt and refused to get up. She apologized in embarrassment, âThis time⊠I know that I was able to survive this time because of the headquarters and everyoneâs rescue efforts. I was insensible in the past. I was inhumane. I, Chen Guihua, swear here that I will turn over a new leaf and be a new person.â
The people who were originally standing by and watching felt terrible.
Although everyone didnât like Chen Guihuaâs character and personality, they sympathized with her experience. Su Xueqiang was too much. For a widow, he didnât even want his son. There was nothing they could do about this scum, so they could only do their best to help Chen Guihua.
They did not expect Chen Guihua to return the favor. Based on everyoneâs understanding of Chen Guihua, she would definitely say that it was only natural and would not admit it.
Chen Guihuaâs response had given everyone a huge surprise.
Even Li Youcai, Accountant Xu, and the village department director were so excited that their eyes turned red. It was really not in vain for them to rush around for more than half a month. They rushed around begging for donations and their effort did not go to waste.
âItâs said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. The old Chen Guihua is already dead. From now on, I will change my appearance. I will repay all those who have helped me. If I, Chen Guihua, cannot repay you in this life, Zhuangzhuang will repay you for me when he grows up.â
âKneel!â Zhuangzhuang, looking listless, knelt on the ground with a thud. His small and thin face was filled with determination. He swore, âI, Su Yifan, swear that I will repay all the favors I owe you when I grow up.â
Zhuangzhuang was his nickname, and his real name was Su Yifan.
Chen Guihua waited for her son to finish speaking before she raised her hand. Her voice was loud and clear. When she raised her head, they could see the slap left a clear mark of five fingers on her face. After the slap, the mother and son knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The sound of their heads hitting on the ground made oneâs scalp go numb. Just thinking about it hurt.
Only then did everyone react and hurriedly went forward to help her.
P
âHurry up and get up.â
âWhat era is this? Itâs long been out of fashion to kowtow.â
The people who donated money and goods were slightly better off, but the people who had been watching coldly from the beginning were too embarrassed to continue standing there. They quickly left quietly. When she was in the hospital, they didnât donate. Later, when the village chief called for them, they pretended not to hear it.
Now that Chen Guihua kowtowed and thanked them, no matter how thick-skinned they were, they would be too embarrassed to continue staying.
Soon, only the villagers who had donated during the meeting yesterday were left at the entrance of the headquarters.
âRight, right, right. We donât expect to get you to repay any favors. Weâre all from the same village. Itâs just helping someone out.â Although everyone hoped that their efforts would be rewarded, they felt bad when they saw Chen Guihua kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.
