Lin Nianhe still hadn't figured out where to find sparring partners for Zheng Shan when two unexpected yet unsurprising visitors showed up.
"Teacher Lin,"
After school, as Lin Nianhe was still grading homework in the classroom, Shen Cailan came in holding her mother's hand into the second-grade classroom, followed by Yang Daniu and his wife.
"Huh? Auntie, Brother Yang, Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
Lin Nianhe was preoccupied with matching errors to students and didn't catch on immediately.
"Teacher Lin," Cailan's mother spoke as a representative for both families, "We've come to repay the money."
With that, she handed over a small red cloth bundle clenched in her palm.
Sister-in-law Yang, following suit with a nod, eyes tinged red, passed over a similar red cloth bundle.
Lin Nianhe was momentarily stunned before she recalled what money the two families were repaying.
The money for the hearing aids.
