Aunt June's eyes widened. "Really? Then… what's the salary?"
Ivy smiled. "Three meals a day, a place to live, and ten kilograms of rice every month."
Aunt June gasped. Her eyes grew wet with tears. She grabbed Ivy's hands tightly.
"Ivy… you are the only person in this world who hasn't changed. Everyone else has, but you… You are still kind. Thank you, thank you so much."
Ivy felt a little embarrassed and shook her head. "Aunt June, you don't have to thank me."
But Aunt June wouldn't stop. She held Ivy's hands firmly. "No, I have to. Today, you are not leaving until you eat with me."
Ivy gave a helpless chuckle. "Alright, Aunt June. I'll eat with you."
They had a simple meal, and Ivy only ate a little. Afterward, she left with Aunt June's blessings.
Her last stop that day was the elderly couple, Paul and Linda. She stood at their door for a while, thinking.
