This was the first time Wan Qiqi had ever seen such a large bamboo shoot. Holding it and weighing it, she estimated it to be at least three or four pounds.
She immediately smiled and said, "I'm so sorry... I bought extra groceries on my way back, let me give you some..."
After the two of them tugged at each other, Wan Qiqi went to the kitchen and took out a piece of meat, which weighed about five or six ounces.
She calculated that she should be able to afford a meal.
When she came out, she saw Aunt Fengxian staring blankly at An'an, her eyes glistening with tears.
Wan Qiqi paused, remembering the girl she had seen in Yunhe County. She slowly walked to Aunt Fengxian's side, placed the meat in her hand, and asked, "You sold it so heartlessly back then, do you regret it now?"

Wan Qiqi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I've seen her. She works as a maid in a wealthy family, serving the young ladies. She has no worries about food or clothing and lives a very good life."
Aunt Fengxian knew that Wan Qiqi was unwilling to tell her where she was, but she was relieved to hear that her daughter was doing well!
"Next time... next time if you see her, could you... never mind, it's good that she's doing well now..."
Aunt Fengxian muttered to herself, her mind elsewhere, and left the Chen family home.
Wan Qiqi felt a pang of sadness watching her retreating figure.
