Xie Xinghua thought Er Ya was still worrying about the compensation matter, so while tidying up the dishes, she comforted her again, telling her that justice was on their side and there was no need to worry.
However, Er Ya's silence and sudden questioning made Xie Xinghua realize that her daughter's troubles ran deeper than that.
"Where was Da Ya sold to?"
Er Ya's voice was as faint as a mosquito's, yet it struck Xie Xinghua's heart like a heavy hammer.
That, it turned out, was the real reason for her furrowed brows.
Xie Xinghua quickly explained that Shen Qiang's words were sheer nonsense, that Da Ya was working in a prominent family in Mu City, and promised to take Er Ya to visit her sister the next time.
These words acted like a soothing pill, finally settling down the worries that had been hanging in Er Ya's heart.
