Chapter 151: Gratitude for Favors and Revenge for Wrongs

He Jinxia listened in the living room for a while but soon found it rather dull. The conversation went round and round, mostly about how Mrs. He had struggled and then moved on to talk about her own family, mentioning how they had tried to make a living elsewhere, and how Mr. He had passed away without being able to see them even once.

As dinner time approached, Mrs. He invited them to stay for the meal. The travelers made a token effort to decline but soon agreed to dine.

The dining process was an eye-opener for He Jinxia. The young woman focused solely on eating, steadily picking food with her chopsticks and targeting the meat in front of her as if she wished she could bury her head in it.

Mrs. He's opinion was unknown, but as far as He Jinxia was concerned, she had lost all desire to try that particular dish.

Another one of her nominal aunts was somewhat better at dining, but the child she held in her arms was another story.
