"Xiao Wei, take good care of yourself."
"I will, Aunt Li."
"This is for you," said the middle-aged woman, handing him a little sachet with coins. "Although it is not much, it should help you."
"Thank you." Wang Wei directly accepted, knowing she would insist and refuse his refusal. Furthermore, he knew she would not suffer from this slight loss of money. To repay the Karma of the livestock and vegetables he stole, he would give a share of his hun to the village while sharing some knowledge about agriculture, allowing the village to yield more in the previous reaping season.
"Good boy," said Aunt Li as she liked that Xiao Wei was not like other boys, trying to be modest; he knew when to accept help and refuse. Many other villagers came to bid him goodbye while also giving him some gifts–mostly some money or items in their family they believed would bring luck and prosperity.
