"Grand-aunt, it's our fault for spoiling her. We've ruined her," Wu Shufen said, full of regret. She regretted not being stricter back then. If she had disciplined her daughter the way she did her sons, Little Lan would never have been fooled by that scoundrel Yang Lao'yao.
The old woman comforted her, saying, "Oh, children! Some grow up sooner, and some later. Look at her now—she's doing just fine!"
Wu Shufen nodded. "You're right."
Lin Lan smiled at Wu Shufen. Realizing they only had vegetable dishes at home, she said, "Mom, Grand-aunt, please have a seat. I'm going to run to the Eucalyptus Forest. Grand-aunt, you should have dinner with us tonight, it'll be nice and lively."
Wu Shufen quickly said, "I brought groceries, you don't need to go to the Eucalyptus Forest." They had bought some meat on the black market before coming.
"I can't eat here, I have to get back and feed my chickens," the old woman said, already heading for the door.
