Wufu and the others entered with heavy baskets on their backs. Upon seeing them return safe and sound, Madam Zhou breathed a huge sigh of relief. After all, it was two children setting out, and they were heading to the county town—worry was inevitable.
Hongyu whispered to Wufu, "Madam couldn't sleep well last night because she was so worried."
Wufu smiled. It was a good thing she had told Liu Jin not to mention the Flower-Picking Thief matter; otherwise, Madam Zhou would have been scared half to death, and they surely wouldn't have been allowed to leave the house again.
"Has anything happened at home these past few days?" Wufu inquired of Hongyu.
"Yes, today Big Uncle's Wife and the female cousin came, and they mentioned the matter of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts with Madam," said Hongyu.
Mid-Autumn Festival was just a few days away. Married daughters were expected to send festival gifts to their parents' home during such holidays.
