Sun Qiuhua had a grim expression; she knew that the villagers were trying to establish a connection with her family by offering these worthless items. 0
 
"Qiuhua, this is our family's cured meat, for you to eat on the way," a Fellow Villager said, holding out some pieces of cured meat. 0
 
"No, no, no, how can we accept your cured meat?" Sun Qiuhua quickly refused. 0
 
"Qiuhua, are you looking down on us Fellow Villagers?" the Fellow Villager asked, somewhat angrily. 0
 
"No, no, no, that's not what I mean," Sun Qiuhua hurriedly explained. 0
 
"Then why won't you accept it?" the Fellow Villager pressed. 0
 
"I..." Sun Qiuhua didn't know how to explain. 0
 
"Qiuhua, these items are just a small token of everyone's goodwill. If you don't accept them, it means you look down on us all," the Fellow Villager said. 0
 
"This..." Sun Qiuhua looked at the items, feeling a bit troubled. 0
 
"Qiuhua, just accept them," the Fellow Villager insisted, stuffing the items into Sun Qiuhua's arms. 0
 
"Alright," Sun Qiuhua reluctantly agreed. 0
 
"Qiuhua, then we'll head back now," the Fellow Villager said. 0
 
"Mm," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
 
"Qiuhua, although these things aren't valuable, they are everyone's goodwill. You must take good care of them," Aunt Qian said. 0
 
"Mm," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
 
"Qiuhua, then we're leaving," Aunt Qian said. 0
 
"Mm," Sun Qiuhua nodded again. 0
 
"Qiuhua, don't forget about us," Aunt Xinghua reminded her. 0
 
"Don't worry, I won't forget," Sun Qiuhua replied with a smile. 0
 
"Qiuhua, you must come back to see us often," Aunt Qian said. 0
 
"Mm," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
 
"Qiuhua, then we're off," Aunt Qian said once more. 0
 
"Mm," Sun Qiuhua nodded again. 0
 
"Uncles and Aunts, thank you for your kindness, but our vehicle really can't hold so many things. Please don't make it difficult for us," a voice suddenly rang out. 0
 
"Who are you?" Aunt Qian asked the speaker. 0
 
"I am Zhao Guangcai," Zhao Guangcai replied. 0
 
"Zhao Guangcai?" Aunt Qian paused for a moment before realizing, "Oh, you're the hunter from the Zhao Family." 0
 
"Mm," Zhao Guangcai nodded. 0
 
 
"Are you here to speak on behalf of the Li Family?" Aunt Qian asked. 0
"I'm just speaking the truth," Zhao Guangcai replied. 0
"You..." Aunt Qian was taken aback. 0
"Uncles, aunts, it's getting late; we should set off," Zhao Guangcai said. 0
"This..." The villagers began to hesitate. 0
They were afraid that their belongings wouldn't be sent off and would instead annoy the Li Family. 0
"Since the cart can't hold everything, we won't send anything," one of the villagers said. 0
"Yes, yes, we won't send anything," the other villagers echoed. 0
"Thank you all for your understanding," Sun Qiuhua sighed in relief. 0
"Qiuhua, we didn't mean to make things difficult for you," one villager explained. 0
"I know," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
"Qiuhua, please be careful on your journey," that villager said. 0
"Mm," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
"Qiuhua, we're heading back now," that villager said. 0
"Mm," Sun Qiuhua nodded again. 0
The other villagers also bid farewell to Sun Qiuhua. 0
Soon, the crowd dispersed. 0
Only Aunt Qian and Aunt Xinghua remained. 0
"Aunt Qian, Aunt Xinghua, do you have anything else to discuss?" Sun Qiuhua asked. 0
"Qiuhua, since you're going to the capital, we don't know when you'll be back; could you leave us an address?" Aunt Qian asked. 0
"This..." Sun Qiuhua hesitated a bit. 0
"Qiuhua, we won't do anything; we just want to write to you when we miss you after you leave," Aunt Xinghua said. 0
"Well... okay," Sun Qiuhua agreed. 0
"Thank you, Qiuhua," Aunt Qian and Aunt Xinghua said happily. 0
"But please don't share the address with anyone," Sun Qiuhua cautioned. 0
"Don't worry; we won't," Aunt Qian and Aunt Xinghua quickly assured her. 0
"That's good," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
"Qiuhua, when are you leaving?" Aunt Qian asked. 0
"Tomorrow morning," Sun Qiuhua replied. 0
"Oh," Aunt Qian nodded. 0
 
 
"Aunt Qian, Aunt Xinghua, you can go back now," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
"Okay," Aunt Qian and Aunt Xinghua nodded. 0
"Mom, who leaked the news that we were leaving today?" Li Xiumei said angrily. 0
"This..." Sun Qiuhua didn't know either. 0
"If I find out who it was, I won't let her off," Li Xiumei said fiercely. 0
"Xiu Mei, whether someone said it or not, we still have to inform the villagers," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
"I know, but..." Li Xiumei was still a bit upset. 0
"Alright, don't be angry," Sun Qiuhua patted Li Xiumei's shoulder. 0
"Okay," Li Xiumei nodded gloomily. 0
"Xiu Mei, go check if your dad is ready," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
"Okay," Li Xiumei replied and turned to go inside the house. 0
Sun Qiuhua sighed and shook her head. 0
"Is everything packed?" Zhao Xiaosong asked. 0
"Yes, it's all packed," Sun Qiuhua replied. 0
"Then let's get in the car," Zhao Xiaosong said. 0
"Okay," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
Zhao Xiaosong loaded the luggage into the car and then opened the door, saying, "Please." 0
"Thank you," Sun Qiuhua said politely. 0
"No need to be polite," Zhao Xiaosong replied. 0
Li Xiumei and Father Li were a bit nervous as it was their first time in a car. 0
Sun Qiuhua was quite calm since she had been in Zhao Xiaosong's car before. 0
"Xiu Mei, don't open the window too wide; be careful with your hands," Zhao Xiaosong said. 0
"Okay," Li Xiumei replied. 0
