Zhuang Shuxian held onto Jiujiu's hand even when they had entered the room. She sat on the small bed, pulling Jiujiu to sit next to her.
"Lily, quickly get out the new clothes, candy and cookies that I bought for Jiujiu." Zhuang Shuxian urged Qin Li to open her bag eagerly.
When Gu Xiaobei saw Qin Li take four or five new pieces of clothing out of the bag, including woolen sweaters, a red sports suit emblazoned with the words "China", and tiny cotton-padded jackets, she felt somewhat melancholic. Poor Mrs. Jin was treating Jiujiu as her emotional crutch.
"Now my vision is a blur, otherwise I'd make Jiujiu a cotton coat out of better cotton than this," Zhuang Shuxian held the jacket up to Jiujiu, displeased with the fit.
Seeing this, Qin Li's eyes became somewhat moist. Zhuang Shuxian's mental state had improved over the past couple of days. Buying clothes for Jiujiu had seemingly diluted some of the pain she felt over Jin Cheng's departure.
