Zhou Lan could clearly visualize Hu Ying's worried face, which brought a pang of sorrow to her heart.
Noticing Zhou Lan's expression, Zhou Wan promptly handed her the goods he had brought along. "This is wild boar meat, which I hunted last night with Zhou Ling's husband. Mother insisted that I bring some to you right away to ensure you don't go hungry. And here's a pound of grain. It's not a lot, but it should last a few days."
In these challenging times, procuring food was an uphill battle for everyone. Thus, Zhou Wan's act of delivering a pound of grain came as a timely blessing.
As he spoke, Zhou Wan extracted the wild boar meat from his bag – a front leg, some lean meat, and several offals.
