Ah, Jing old man actually took the initiative to invite her to the old residence for a meal, this truly is the first time ever!
Could it be he saw how her business was booming lately and wanted a share of the profits? But… didn't Jing old lady come by the other day to ask her to make fish soup, and successfully talked Jing Taihe into increasing the money given back to the old residence to five hundred wen per month? How come...
Or could it be that the old couple finally felt guilty and thought their previous attitude toward Hua Xiaomai had been improper, so they specifically invited her to have a meal to mend the relationship?
... Regardless of how likely that scenario was, just looking at Jing old man's face gloomy enough to rain didn't seem to suggest that!
Jing Family's old lady was getting on in years, spending her days eating and sleeping, with both Jing old man and Jing old lady in charge of family matters—so, what exactly did these two want?
