If it weren't for seeing a seriously ill person return to the alley a couple of days ago, so thin and bony, that frightened her.
"Auntie, if you can, please send some more nutritional supplements. Your body is suffering a lot." Just think, they did a lot of hard labor every day, but the food wasn't very good. Not all the educated youth could get enough to eat.
