When she saw what Luo Qiao was carrying, her face, which had been smiling, slightly withdrew, "What is this for?"
Luo Qiao said, "Grandma Liu, please don't misunderstand. It's like this..."
Grandma Liu had lost her husband, son, and daughter-in-law, and now it was just her and her young grandson getting by. But she was a proud woman who never complained about the hardships in her heart.
Luo Qiao had overheard the warm yet heart-wrenching conversations between the grandmother and grandson by the dividing wall of their yards and thought to offer help when the opportunity arose.
Worried that Grandma Liu wouldn't accept the items, Luo Qiao explained today's incident at the vegetable market: "Grandma Liu, we were just worried that the veggies would lose their freshness if they stayed out too long, so..."
Grandma Liu softly smiled and said, "At my age, I can certainly tell good from bad. I appreciate your kindness; I'll accept the things."
