The village chief, upon hearing his words, just felt that Rong Shuiniu was beyond saving.
He said irritably, "Rong Yan really did us proud, scored the first place in the entire province. Tomorrow, reporters are going to interview her, she's going to be in the newspapers! Now, Rong Yan has not just become the pride of the whole town, but also our county's."
Some villagers also interjected excitedly, "She's got a lot of prize money too! I heard not just from her school, but the town, county, even the province will dish out a big sum! All together, it must be at least this much."
The speaker gestured with an open hand.
"…Five hundred?" Ha, what's five hundred? University tuition and living expenses are a huge chunk of change; see who she'll ask for it when the time comes.
Rong Shuiniu had made inquiries; that family didn't recognize the dead girl at all!
"Ha, clueless. The prize money from the school alone is one thousand. Do you think it could only be five hundred?"
