"Little girl, we're not bad people. You can sell the watch in the city and live a better life."
Huo Mian thought that a teenager could understand.
"No, my grandma said that we can't take stuff from other people."
"It's for you cooking corn paste for us, is that okay?" Huo Mian softly said to the girl.
"The corn paste isn't worth much. We have a lot of corn. Grandma and I grinded a lot of corn flour, it's enough to last us through the winter."
The girl pointed to a dark corner in the kitchen where a few bags of corn flour were.
Huo Mian's heart ached...
"You're still growing, you can't just eat this."
"It's fine, I'm used to it."
Huo Siqian and Su Yu both felt pity when they heard that, as they remained silent.
"Okay, we know you mean well. We won't force you to take it."
Huo Mian shot Su Yu a look and made him take it back.
"Why don't you eat with us?" Huo Mian invited her.
