"Thank you."
It was not an expensive gift, but the goodwill was delivered.
It was a large box of avocados.
Nian Xi took the box, opened it, and found the avocados were black. She touched them and could tell they had gone bad.
"These went bad. Where did you buy them?"
"Right in your neighborhood. An old lady was selling them. Are these bad? She told me the ripe ones are all like this."
Nian Xi peeled an avocado. The pulp was black. She peeled a few more in a row and they were all the same.
"How much did these cost?"
"Fifteen each," said Jiang Yuning unhappily.
"That's ridiculous." Nian Xi sighed. "How can avocados be so expensive?"
"I don't know." Jiang Yuning dropped his head and poked the stone stool with his tiptoe.
"Next time, don't spend money on anything without me there." Nian Xi finally started to understand how Luosang felt, and why she always managed Nian Junting's money.
