Ah Jiu had her breakfast in the firewood storage, gazing at the simple meal of a large bowl of porridge, two pancakes, and a small dish, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. She had never imagined there would come a day like this.
Wufu and Madam Zhou had their breakfast in their own room, and when the subject of taking a trip to town came up, Madam Zhou's eyes widened.
"To the town? By yourself?"
Wufu nodded, "I need to deliver a message for someone, so I have to go."
Madam Zhou, however, felt uneasy. How could a young girl like her go to town by herself?
"Mother. I'm not a little girl anymore. How many children in our village who are only a few years old carry firewood to sell in town? I'm already fourteen. Why wouldn't I be able to go?" Wufu, seeing Madam Zhou's worry, quickly reassured her with a smile.
Seeing this, Madam Zhou could only let her go, saying, "Then you be careful," though she felt a touch of annoyance towards the young man for the inconvenience he caused.
