Chapter 1274: Daughter Can Eat Too Much_1

"I truly am just passing by, and merely wish for some water," the man remained adamant.

"Please leave and seek elsewhere. Perhaps you'll even find a generous family who would offer you a meal. There's nothing here," Qing Zhu's voice grew colder. What kind of person would believe her and stop asking for water? Clearly, the man doesn't take her word for it.
