Liu Baoguo certainly did it to save face for Bai Xiao, taking out a wad of money from his pocket and handing it to her, "This is travel money pooled by the folks in the village for your schooling. It's not much from each person, but it's the sentiment that counts. You mustn't refuse it, for to do so would be to look down on our fellow villagers."
Bai Xiao took it, knowing this was the heartfelt gesture of simple folks.
Exactly forty-eight yuan.
"Uncle, Aunt, I've accepted the money, and I will definitely study hard to bring honor to our village!"
