Fate of Strawberries

Jiang Xia nodded and wanted to put the candy back into Zhou Juan's hand. However, Zhou Juan held her hand and said with a smile, "Don't reject me! My father gave you these because he likes your family. Besides, my father works in a sugar factory. He can always get more!"

Jiang Xia could not reject the offer and took the candies.

Thinking of the sugar factory that Zhou Juan mentioned, Jiang Xia couldn't help but ask, "A sugar factory? Is it out of town?"

Zhou Juan nodded. "It's in the county town. It'll take five to six hours by carriage from here to the county town. It's a long distance, but the county town is much better than here. Oh right, if there's a chance in the future, I'll bring you there to take a look."

"Alright!" Jiang Xia didn't reject this. She would only be able to think of more ways to prevent everyone from starving if she saw more of them.
