Song Auntie only rested easy after she had personally checked to ensure that there was really nothing seriously wrong with her.
She tightly held onto Su Shu's wrist and led her over to the couch.
Gazing at the bulging backpack behind Su Shu, her surprised eyes quickly returned to normal.
"Zhan An was right," she said, "he guessed that you might have gone out by yourself. I didn't believe him at first, but it turns out you're quite bold, daring to go anywhere. What would we do if something happened to you, how would we explain to Zelin?"
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, holding Su Shu's hand with both worry and heartache in her heart.
This child was just trying to get them a bit more to eat.
Su Shu placed the backpack on the floor behind her but didn't open it right away, choosing instead to first calm Song Auntie's anxious emotions.
Just then, there was a scattering of light from outside.
Soon after, Zhan An came in carrying a flashlight.
