"Are you saying that these were knitted by Jian Yufei for the baby?"
"Yes. Miss Jian didn't know how to knit baby shoes, so she asked me. I gave her a bit of guidance, and she got the hang of it quickly. Baby shoes are tiny, so they don't take long to make."
Aunt Li studied the half-unraveled shoe in her hand, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, "It looks like this shoe was nearly finished. Why was it undone?"
"It's just a ball of yarn, how could this be a shoe!" Ruan Tianling retorted, unconvinced.
Aunt Li chuckled, "Shoes knitted from yarn don't need a mold. Just knit a piece, then sew it up with a needle. Besides, baby shoes aren't for walking, they're for warmth. So as long as the piece knitted from the yarn looks like a shoe when sewn up, it's fine."
Ruan Tianling suddenly felt childish for having unraveled something meant for his child.
"Young Master, why did Miss Jian unravel it? Did she not do a good job?" Aunt Li continued to probe.
