"Great-Auntie..." Chiang Caijiao's eyes reddened, and tears fell promptly, making her look as pitiable as could be.
Chiang Baoguo entered too, and after giving Song Xiyun a fierce look, he said to Chiang Caijiao, "Why are you crying? Your great-auntie will definitely give you some pastries. Just eat them and then get back to work."
As he spoke, he also said to Ge Liutao, "Second Aunt, since Caijiao came to the city, she has been feeling under the weather, not eating much every day. Look, she's become as thin as a monkey. It's rare for her to want to eat something herself; clearly, it's because of Second Aunt's excellent cooking."
"Great-Auntie, I really am so hungry," Chiang Caijiao said again in a small voice, wiping away her tears.
Ge Liutao couldn't bear to see her looking so pitiful and quickly gave her another piece of the pastry.
These two pieces meant the loss of over a dozen yuan in income.
"Second Aunt, you can just put the plate down. Why keep holding it?"
