Ye Zao learned that Sister Jin had left the estate and said to Ah Ling, "It's a good thing, too. She cooks well, but she's a simpleton. Better that she goes out and doesn't invite trouble."
"Yes, Sister Jin is only obsessed with cooking and doesn't get other social interactions at all. It's better for her to leave the estate." Ah Ling said with a gentle smile as she brought over the sliced melon to Ye Zao and handed her a small bamboo skewer.
After tasting a piece, Ye Zao commented, "This year's rain has been heavier, so the melons aren't as sweet as last year, right?"
"What Miss loves the most isn't this. That's why it tastes only faintly sweet. Since there are no cherries available now, Miss should still eat some. It's good to eat more fruits." Ah Ling said with a smile.
"It's not that I don't like them; it's just that I love cherries the most." And pineapples too, but the pineapples available at this time of year were rare, so there was no need to go to such lengths.
