An Ning's eyes widened slightly. 'For me?'
Sun Dazhuang didn't keep her in suspense and got straight to the point.
"An Ning, that machine you made was a huge help. The village council discussed it and decided to give you one hundred work points as a reward. We'll also compensate you for the cost."
An Ning hadn't expected this. A troubled expression appeared on her face.
Seeing her reaction, Sun Dazhuang tried to persuade her.
"Let me tell you, if they're giving it to you, just take it. Otherwise, the next time you contribute something, people will just assume it's what you're supposed to do."
"That's just how people are. A small favor earns gratitude, but a large one creates resentment. No matter how much you give, no one will appreciate it. It's better to make things clear from the start."
Sitting to the side, An Sancheng nodded repeatedly. He stood up and chimed in, "That's right. The captain is thinking long-term, and it's for your own good."
