A faint, meaningful smile played on his lips.
Then, he strode over to the group of strong young men.
As everyone watched, he unhesitatingly pulled out a thick wad of red banknotes.
He shoved it all into one of the men's hands in a single, fluid motion.
To him, the money was an insignificant sum.
Combined with the smaller amounts contributed by the other young people,
the total came to at least ten thousand yuan—more than enough to buy all the food the villagers had brought.
The strong young man took the money and nodded in satisfaction.
He then gave a look to the villagers behind him and nodded.
The moment the villagers saw this signal,
their faces lit up with joy, like children who had just found a treasure.
They immediately placed all the bags of food and water they were carrying on the ground,
their eyes twinkling with excitement.
For the residents of Xia Shui Village,
this was a truly unexpected windfall.
